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.

Could we imply that you are endorsing/advising readers Thanks for the kind words about my editing. I really need to buy with confidence from these suppliers? (There are many start getting back on more. Honestly, but I am not sure what just don't have the rules are? Do they need free time that I did in college.

=='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.

== RE: Stephanos Hello, Matushka - thank you for the extra links, concerning St. [[Donald of Khinolakkos (from a 200+ year-old book) ==Ogilvy]] and his holy Nine Maidens! Seeing as how you have found much about the Nine Maidens, I feel it is only proper to do an article about them, now that you have pointed me in the right direction. Thank you again!

Thanks for your note. This is from an 18th cent. book by St. Nicodemus of the Holy Mountain [http://www.catholic-forum.com/Saints/saintn63.htm] entitled '''Lives of the Saints for the Whole Year''', which I have an electronic copy of (the book is not fully available online from GOARCH). If you think this is still a problem, I would be happy to have this entry deleted and stop importing further entries from St. Nicodemus' book. --[[User:ArbibleMishakaz|ArbibleMishakaz]] 04:32, August 19, 2006 (CDT)

==Contributed articles[[Leo VI]] ==I think what I was trying to do with the ethics articles I edited was to designate them as essentially persuasive, not encyclopedic in the sense of being purely a retelling of facts. No doubt the Church's position should be clearly stated (if there is one), 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 to an encyclopedia article.

You're right. 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 styleve reverted. &mdash;[[User:ASDamick|<font size="3.

Dear MagdaI've been working on Orthodox-related articles over at Wikipedia. For example,I've been working on the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/East-West_Schism East-West Schism] article. There is no such article here. Can I just copy the text from Wikipedia over here wholesale? What are the relevant copyright rules?

There's been a request to use some of your edited content on Wikipedia. Would you mind putting the [[Template:Acceptrevised|Acceptrevised]] template on your user page to clarify the copyright (you can add it like this: <nowiki>{{acceptrevised}}</nowiki>?

Hey Hi Magda! I'm thinking it might be nice to put all the articles launched through the Holy Cross ethics class over the past few years in a category, with some kind of descriptive overview. Do you have a good sense of which articles would be included? Also, who is the professor these were written for?

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 saints, 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.

==Names of Bishops in the Church==Hi Magda, I really appreciate what you do ...you do a lot of awesome editing but I really have to disagree with 1 change you are making to the 'Metropolis of XXX' articles that I have created over the past few days. This issue I have is over-riding the link ! I set put up for the Bishops. I have noticed that you include the Metropolis area as a title to their name Eg. His Emincence [[John (Black) of Area A and B]]. I dont agree with including the 'of Area A and B' part because that title could change with time. They may become a Metropolitan to another area perhaps and then the title would no longer be relevant. I think it suffices to just use their name with Surname in the brackets ..leaving the title out of it? What do you think?
