{{welcome}} {{User:ASDamick/sig}} 15:32, May 2, 2006 (CDT) == Addendum == To the standard welcome I one wanted to add an extra thank-you for helping to clean up existing articles. It's very much needed! {{User:ASDamick/sig}} 17:47, May 5, 2006 (CDT) == Gabriel == Excellent work on The [[Archangel Gabriel]] article! For future reference, you can use "thumb" instead of "frame" to take care of serial vandalssizing an image. {{User:Magda/sig}} 12:32, May 9, trolls and sockpuppetters 2006 (CDT) == Sign of the Cross == It looks like you have made some great contributions to this article. I think I imported this from Wikipediasome time ago. BasicallyWelcome! [[User:Joe Rodgers|Joe]] 2006-05-10 == Hagiographical articles, image licenses == Since I definitely want to encourage your contributions, here are a few links which I vandalize have found useful:*[[Saint commemorations]]*[[OrthodoxWiki:Style Manual]] (specifically [[OrthodoxWiki:Style Manual (People)|People]] and [[OrthodoxWiki:Style Manual (Importing)|Importing]]) Also, when importing images from the Wikimedia Commons, please keep in mind that we still need categories and licensing information for each image. (cf. [[Help:Image licenses]]) Again (and again, in peace): good work! {{User:Magda/sig}} 12:48, May 17, 2006 (CDT) :Ah, thank you, again. That is helpful. Honestly, the copyright stuff confuses me, but I'll try to note the image licences that wikimedia uses when I borrow images from them; also, I suppose the cut and paste from wikipedia and then slice and dice isn't an option. Whoops. I suppose I should start writing all the French material in my articles by my own hand. [[User:Gabriela|Gabriela]] 15:36, 17 May, 2006 (CST) == Hotlinking == Just FYI, in the images you've uploaded recently, when you include a bare URL to the image's source, the wiki creates a hotlink to the URL, including the image and thus using the linked site's bandwidth. If you want to link to the source without including the image (which is what would be preferable), then you can do it by means of creating a link, like this: [http://www.thehtm.org/images/a little -73.jpg Source]. &mdash;[[User:ASDamick|<font color="blue"><b><i>Dcn.

I do read anything I "paste" before doing so. God Bless. == [[:Image:Rublev Trinity.jpg]] == No harm done. In the future, if you want to revert an image to its proper state, look at the list of revisions on the image's description page (e.g., [[:Image:Rublev Trinity.jpg]]), click on the date references, find the one you want, and hit the "rev" link next to it. &mdash;[[User:ASDamick|<font color="blue"><b><i>Dcn.

This doesn't require much more time or commitment than you've already demonstrated. You'd be part of our ultra-secret OrthodoxWiki Sysop email list, where we work together to battle wiki-evil and talk about various issues affecting the life of OrthodoxWiki, and once in awhile bounce around ideas about its future. Also, you'd have superpowers on the wiki, allowing you to intervene in edit wars, and otherwise better manage articles. Finally, you'd be a reference point for other users - welcoming them in the name of OrthodoxWiki, and helping folks get the hang of the OrthodoxWiki style. Let me know if you'd like to accept this mission by leaving a note on my talk page or emailing me directly.

Most of the posts in the last couple of days (that are not mine or my open proxies wife's) are related to that project. The two of us (she more than me) have been going through the articles and correcting formatting, grammar, and the like. Almost every sub-topic on the Ethics page has been assigned, so there could be a good number more articles coming up. Just a heads up. We'll check again in the morning. [[User:Vandrona|Vandrona]] :Gabriela, I'm not sure about putting these articles in the "Contributed Articles" category. Most of the other articles in that category are blockedeither copyrighted or previously published. From the ethics professor's assignment, therefore I gather that he is trying to improve the wiki as a resource, not merely to add student-submitted articles which have not yet been reviewed. My husband says that there is a revision stage in this assignment which has not yet been reached (some time in March). On the other hand, some of the content is, well, in need of something like the [[Template:Disputed|disputed]] tag in addition to the cleanup tag ([[Template:Orthodoxize]] and [[Template:Incomplete]] also come hereto mind). What are your thoughts? —[[User:Magda|<b>magda</b>]] ([[User_talk:Magda|talk]]) 09:53, March 3, 2007 (PST) :It's wonderful to see this! This section has needed work for a long time. I'd much prefer that these not be designated as "Contributed Articles" (actually, I'd like to deprecate that category) - even if there is some POV involved, better to leave these open for editing in the future. — [[User:FrJohn|<b>FrJohn</b>]] ([http://www.orthodoxwiki.org/User_talk:FrJohn&action=edit&section=new talk]) ==Vandalism==Gabriela, just a note about block comments - better to keep them general rather than mentioning specifics.

I'm not an expert in English and so you have indeed done a great help to us, your Orthodox brethren in the Philippines. Certain individual/s would like to put the established canonical jurisdiction in the Philippines into bad light and are trying their best to distort historical facts by citing totally unsupported claims and baseless allegations. Let us pray that God have mercy on them and forgive them. Again, thank you so much for your effort. May God bless us all.

Your edit summary says "present to past tense in history, a couple misspellings, British to American spelling," but I don't necessarily see those changes all the way through, other than the British to American.
