Could you tell me how ==Help needed==Hello Magda, I would like to add userboxes like they have on Wikipedia? I'd love bring to add some but I'm not sure how.your attention problem with the article [[User:CavyloverJohn (Zizioulas) of Pergamon]]where one of the users keep removing valid academic source to the criticism of the J.Z., not providing any valid academic reason for removal, but rather expressing his own opinion on the matter. Since I know that user from Wikipedia and have experienced his disgraceful behavior there, I am asking for help before situation ends up in the formal request for mediation (just as happened there). Thank you.

== Nativity series Holy Sepulchre==

Sounds greatHmm, you're right about the spelling of Sepulchre. That was bothering me throughout, but what did you have in mind? (Or were you hoping Ididn'd provide thatt want to change the title of the article. Do you think it should be Americanized?) :) {{User:ASDamick/sig}} 14:24, December 23, 2005 (CST)

== VAs for what I did changed, there were a number of verbs in the history section of the article in the present tense (that were about past events). So that's Cardbox ==what I meant by present to past tense in history. I stopped after the history section (except for changing annointed to anointed in the next paragraph), so that's why you don't see changes throughout. Oh, and I also messed with what I thought was awkward wording once or twice. Please change anything you think needs undoing.

=='Anglo Saxon' versus 'Greek'==You are right in your observation and I feel that I am right in mine"Undo" undoes. My contribution was based on personal observation and interpretation, and also from listening to others (though there is certainly no unanimity :). It transpired that Timothy Ware is most appreciated for his scholarly work and forgiven for his 'racist' attitude towards Greeks because it is demonstrated so politely. I would argue that his 'racism' is a product of his generation. But it also the manifestation of the unreconciled heart and mind of a particular kind of convert. His intellectual approach to the Greek Orthodox faith exemplifies all the rigour of a Protestant heart and of a need for 'straight' empiricism; these are truly worthy attributes, but not appropriate for tackling the depths of Greek Orthodoxy or for coming to terms with the inherent Orthodoxy that comes from being born into an ancient Orthodox dailiness. In the case of Timothy Ware, this gap between scholarly rigour and the Orthodox condition cannot be reconciled, so it is resolved through the 'racist' attitude he was probably born into and educated by.At least, that is how I view the situation for the time being.RespectufullyPolitis.

==Contributed articles==I think what I was trying to do with Hello, Matushka - thank you for the ethics articles I edited was to designate them as essentially persuasiveextra links, not encyclopedic in the sense concerning St. [[Donald of being purely a retelling of facts. No doubt Ogilvy]] and his holy Nine Maidens! Seeing as how you have found much about the Church's position should be clearly stated (if there is one)Nine Maidens, but some of the articles deal with issues that have never been clearly and dogmatically defined. They just lack that neutrality that I see as intrinsic feel it is only proper to do an encyclopedia articleabout them, now that you have pointed me in the right direction. Thank you again!

I guess it's really a matter of defining what the goals for Orthowiki are and how much leeway we want to give for deviations from a strictly encyclopedic style. To me, it just seems like the talk pages would be a better place for opinion stands on debatable issues, if we ever have enough people to start really using them.

== Emperor Theodosius Quotes from St. John Chrisostom ==

Thanks for getting all the links to the Emperor Theodosius article. I find now adding articles means a lot of searching and making links. A note: You are much more up on our various saintsHi Magda, so that's why the note to you. I notice your linking of September 14 to Placilla the Empress as Theodosius' wife. In the sources I found his first wife was noted as "Aelia Flacilla". With the similar names I'm guessing the names refer to the same person. If so, the Theodosius article should note the different spellings for her name. Would you check it and make the modification to the article, if names apply to the same person.

Most of the article was just a revision of the wikipedia article, anyway. By the 2008 some quotes from SJC made there way, in that I'm glad having trouble verifying. Could you're back helping out.
