Larsson Duplication
Duh... I was the one who wrote that and added it into the article orignally. I forgot I did that, so I put it there again a few days ago :D ValenShephard (talk) 19:57, 11 September 2010 (UTC)
- Best thing about Wikipedia is that we're so far away from 1.0. :-) Dylan Flaherty (talk) 20:50, 11 September 2010 (UTC)
Brandon Rios
I'm sure that Rios did fight out of the Garden City Gym. Victor Ortiz is from the same gym and now those two hate each because of what happened during thier amateur careers. You're right, I just can't find a citation so lets keep it off the Article for now. Thanks for staying on it.--Polvo (talk) 15:13, 13 September 2010 (UTC)
Authorship of the books of the Christian Bible
Suggest: (a) change title to "Authorship of books of the bible"; (b) use Hebrew (Jewish) order of books, since they invented it; (c) re-write contents to reflect genuine scholarship. If you're interested... PiCo (talk) 13:07, 18 September 2010 (UTC)
- PiCo, thanks for your advice. I've come to the conclusion that RomanHistorian has committed the fatal scholarly error of relying entirely on a single book instead of a broader understanding. Worse, the book he chose has a strong POV that amounts to fringe biblical maximalism of the conservative protestant sort. I've looked at some of the changes he made, and they are consistent in adding this POV, often while editing and even deleting mainstream views. I've done my best to clean up some of the mess, and I see that you have, too. Dylan Flaherty (talk) 12:08, 19 September 2010 (UTC)
- I agree. But I'm willing to try to engage him in dialogue rather than treat him with hostility. Let's see what comes of it. PiCo (talk) 12:21, 21 September 2010 (UTC)
- I apologize if my frustration with his single-mindedness is manifesting as hostility. I will be glad to back off and let cooler minds engage. Dylan Flaherty (talk) 23:13, 21 September 2010 (UTC)
- No, by all means engage with him. I'll suggest to him that he restrict himself to one of two articles to avoid starting major conflicts - personally I don't have any interest at all in the NT, and pretty narrow interests in the OT. I'll suggest he take up the Bible Authors and Joshua. PiCo (talk) 00:34, 22 September 2010 (UTC)
- Ok, but I will do my best to be civil. As for topics, I suspect I might have more interest in the NT than you do.
- I've given it some consideration, and I think his best bet if he actually wants his changes kept at all is to make them slowly, in moderation, and to accept corrections. When he changes an entire article, the best I can do sometimes is just revert it wholesale. If he changes a paragraph or two at a time, I might still have objections, but I probably won't just revert. Dylan Flaherty (talk) 01:33, 22 September 2010 (UTC)
