He trasladado tu contenido a un artículo independiente de los Cristadelfianos Bereanos . Espero que no haya ningún problema. RiJB ( discusión ) 16:57 1 febrero 2008 (UTC)
Con referencia a su acusación en la página de discusión de los Cristadelfianos de que actué de mala fe al no iniciar sesión, le remito a la guía de Wikipedia sobre Buena fe , especialmente la sección bajo el título Acusar a otros de mala fe :
Por lo tanto, su acusación es provocativa, es una forma de ataque personal y, en palabras de la directriz, "no supone una presunción de buena fe". Su intento en otra parte de esa discusión de revelar mi identidad también es contrario a las directrices de Wikipedia y a la buena etiqueta. La referencia a las preguntas frecuentes de Wikipedia que usted citó dice específicamente "damos la bienvenida a las contribuciones anónimas" y "usted es en realidad más anónimo (aunque más seudónimo) conectado que como editor "anónimo"". Por lo tanto, su insinuación de que de alguna manera contravení una política o directriz de Wikipedia sobre la buena fe fue un error y podría considerarse en sí misma como de mala fe.

Hola, chico de Taiwán. Voy a hacerte una sugerencia que puede parecerte un poco infantil, pero si al menos pudieras pensar en ello, sería genial. ¿Puedes esperar y responder inmediatamente a los comentarios de la chica de Taiwán, ya que esa persona claramente te está troleando ? Le he dado a la chica de Taiwán una advertencia amistosa y realmente no quiero ir más allá de eso, y aunque están en el lugar equivocado, creo que si te tomas un poco más de tiempo para responder (o no responder si es necesario) entonces con suerte las cosas se calmarán un poco. ¡Por favor, no lo tomes a mal y pienses que te estoy atacando, porque no es así! -- Samtheboy ( t / c ) 09:16, 3 de febrero de 2008 (UTC)
Para fomentar el uso de NPOV en el artículo sobre los bereanos, me pregunto qué pensarías de invitar a un cristadelfiano bereano y a un no cristadelfiano a revisarlo. RiJB ( discusión ) 20:29 3 febrero 2008 (UTC)
Sí, Wikipedia tiene muchos defectos y, en general, no me interesa en absoluto. Sin embargo, ya existe un artículo sobre la comunidad cristadelfiana, que incluye artículos sobre los cismas de Unamedended, Nazareno y Bereano, por lo que dedico algún tiempo a asegurarme de que estos artículos sean veraces. Lo considero una responsabilidad personal. Estoy seguro de que no querrás que el artículo de Bereano te represente falsamente.
Me gustaría invitarlo a que considere participar en el Desafío AGF que ha sido propuesto para su uso en el proceso de RfA [1] por el usuario: Kim Bruning . Puede responder en formato de opción múltiple, o usando respuestas de ensayo, o de forma anónima. Por supuesto, puede omitir cualquier parte del Desafío que le parezca objetable o desaconsejable. -- Filll ( discusión ) 13:49, 16 de abril de 2008 (UTC)

Gracias por tus comentarios y espero no haber ofendido a nadie. Lo que dije sobre los "-ismos" surgió a raíz de un par de casos que he visto en los que una historiadora feminista ha sido descartada sumariamente por ser una chiflada cuando, en realidad, esto era sólo una excusa para ignorar la evidencia (muy sólida) que estaba presentando. Ronald Hutton hace esto, por ejemplo, respondiendo a la crítica de Max Dashu a su trabajo afirmando que ella "no es una académica de ningún tipo" y que abordar cualquiera de sus puntos es indigno de él. De hecho, ella había señalado algunos defectos graves en su trabajo, respaldados con evidencia muy sólida. Veo esto demasiado a menudo en el estudio de la historia, obras importantes que se marginan sobre la base de las supuestas (y a menudo tergiversadas) ideologías de su autor, en lugar de sobre la base de una evaluación real de la obra. Pero bueno, yo sólo soy un historiador aficionado, y probablemente no muy bueno en eso... Fuzzypeg ★ 22:03, 26 de mayo de 2008 (UTC)

Creo que estás haciendo un trabajo maravilloso con Noah's Ark, y es triste que tengas que hacer un uso tan extenso de los procedimientos en tus intentos de refinar ese artículo. Actualmente me enfrento a muchos de los mismos problemas, desafíos basados en especulaciones relacionadas con el contenido y los personajes. Desafortunadamente estoy solo, por lo que la gente cree que puede aceptar cambiar el texto sin fuentes, basándose únicamente en los números. Tengo curiosidad por ver hasta dónde hay que llegar en tales circunstancias para que las políticas de Wiki sean realmente respetadas por los involucrados. WQA, RfC e incluso Admin hasta ahora no han examinado realmente los problemas (lo han admitido en varios casos), pero de todos modos han tomado partido. Una solicitud de mediación actual parece estar dando como resultado que uno de los mediadores tome partido (y, una vez más, siga a la mayoría en lugar de las fuentes), aunque puede que esté hablando demasiado pronto. Si la mediación fracasa, y espero que no, una serie de cuestiones triviales en las que mi caso es sobradamente demostrable habrán sido llevadas hasta el Comité de Arbitraje, porque una persona tras otra se ha apresurado demasiado a ponerse del lado de la mayoría sin investigar los hechos.
Curiosamente, incluso ahora podría simplemente eliminar el texto OR introducido por otros y devolver mi propio texto original; la política de Wiki es clara al respecto. Sin embargo, en la práctica, simplemente se revertirá mi versión y otros afirmarán que soy yo, no ellos, quien está usando las ediciones para obstruir el progreso.
La ironía es que en realidad estoy defendiendo la libertad de expresión de académicos con los que no estoy de acuerdo, pero que expresan una serie de cuestiones con un conjunto de ideas buenas y claras. Y, por supuesto, Wiki tiene una política contra los ataques personales, incluidas las acusaciones infundadas, o no la tiene.
Creo que lo estás haciendo de maravilla en Noah's Ark. Podría pedirte ayuda si los mediadores con los que estoy trabajando actualmente descubren que no pueden ayudar a establecer un consenso. Si conoces a otros wikipedistas que estén familiarizados con la defensa contra tácticas obstructivas y que no se sientan intimidados por un grupo de personas con opiniones pero sin argumentos válidos, agradecería una oportunidad de ver si están libres en este momento. Alastair Haines ( discusión ) 08:13 2 jul 2008 (UTC)
Hmmm, creo que estás eligiendo una buena opción. Es mucho mejor involucrar a alguien que conozca y esté familiarizado con los temas, y especialmente a alguien que tenga algún tipo de interés en que la paz entre dos partes ya se respete por otras razones.
Creo que sé cuál es el problema. Tú, yo y PiCo podemos ver debilidades en la forma en que funciona Wiki. Creo que tenemos diferentes niveles de confianza en cómo funciona eso a largo plazo. Eso afecta nuestras decisiones. PiCo es más relajado con las cosas a largo plazo, tú y yo tenemos más esperanzas de que la búsqueda de recursos presente activos a largo plazo para los lectores.
Entonces, respecto a las atribuciones de buena y mala fe, no es un gran problema cuando los editores son anónimos, supongo que la gente también puede relajarse con eso.
En cierto modo, estoy justificando a PiCo, pero en otro sentido estoy pensando en voz alta, intentando adivinar los motivos legítimos que podrían estar en conflicto. Wiki significa cosas diferentes para distintas personas. En un nivel es una "experiencia de lectura interactiva", puedes "tocar el texto" para ver si te toca a ti. Ese es un lector con el que estoy dispuesto a rebotar un poco. Estoy aquí para proporcionar contenido que perdure, otros pueden estar aquí para interactuar con ideas de una manera más sólida que la que puede proporcionar la lectura de un texto en papel. Piensa en "Web 3.0".
Estoy dispuesto a contribuir a que el texto de Wiki sea una "experiencia interactiva" para algunos lectores interesantes e interesados. Por más locos que parezcamos a la "gente normal" que probablemente se parece más a PiCo que a nosotros, creo que la mayoría estaría feliz de darnos algo de espacio, especialmente si se lo damos nosotros. Pero esto debe hacerse con cortesía, y lo fundamental es que se debe permitir que las fuentes tengan la última palabra.
Le enviaré un correo electrónico a PiCo para ver si está dispuesto a hablar sobre esta visión pública externa. Estoy realmente interesado en el enfoque de PiCo sobre Wiki y su enfoque de la Biblia como tema. Escribe muy bien, tiene una mente muy aguda y una gran experiencia de vida que supera a la mía. También es honesto sobre sí mismo, incluidas sus propias inconsistencias.
Estoy seguro de que sabe que te está volviendo loco, que no está jugando de forma totalmente justa y que, al final, está destinado a perder. Creo que también ve muy claramente que eres implacable y que tienes razón, por lo que no hay ningún riesgo a largo plazo para nadie, excepto para el propio PiCo. Estoy seguro de que hay más que esto, y no estoy seguro de saber nunca qué.
De todos modos, le enviaré un correo electrónico a PiCo y veré si me resulta útil escuchar más acerca de su perspectiva, ya que está dispuesto a compartirla. Alastair Haines ( discusión ) 12:10 2 jul 2008 (UTC)
Lo siento si no he hecho algo que se supone que debo hacer. No tengo idea de cómo se supone que funciona el proceso de mediación. Eres tú quien está tomando la iniciativa con esto, así que sigue adelante y haz lo que sea necesario. PiCo ( discusión ) 10:26 4 jul 2008 (UTC)
Hola chico taiwanés,
Quiero dejar claro desde el principio que comprendo tu frustración con NA. Creo que estás haciendo un buen trabajo con las fuentes de información y que estás siendo paciente más allá de lo que te corresponde al lidiar con los obstáculos.
También quiero señalar que el consejo que daría es demasiado ignorante y simplemente no es lo suficientemente profundo como para tener mucho peso, pero lo voy a dejar sobre la mesa para que lo consideres de todos modos. Lo único que podría salir mal es que estuvieras de acuerdo con él y luego resultara que estaba equivocado, entonces me sentiría muy mal.
De todos modos, aquí está la idea. Una ilustración, luego un ejemplo concreto, luego la idea. La ilustración: dos hombres tienen casas contiguas. Uno es muy responsable, llamémosle Able, el otro algo despreocupado o presuntuoso, llamémosle Caín. Caín tiene un manzano que ha crecido más allá de la cerca del límite, la fruta podrida cae de las ramas al jardín de Able. Able retira pacientemente esta basura, preguntándole a Caín si sería tan amable de organizar la tala de las ramas intrusas en algún momento. Caín dice que sí, pero no hace nada, recordatorio tras recordatorio, hasta que la paciencia de Able se está agotando. Pero justo cuando Caín finalmente ha comprado un hacha listo para hacer lo que sabe que debe hacer, Able aparece con el departamento del Sheriff para hacer cumplir la eliminación de las ramas. Caín ahora está descontento con Able. Siempre que el perro de Able ladra en la noche, Caín lo informa y un coche patrulla visita la casa de Abel.
Creo que Doug se habría sentido feliz, de hombre a hombre, de admitir que su participación en NA le hizo la vida difícil. Pero cuando percibe que usted está "en pie de guerra", prefiere irse y dejar que usted haga lo que quiera. Yo estoy muy, muy lejos de ser bueno en esto, pero creo que puede ser más importante permitir que las personas tengan puertas abiertas genuinas para disculparse informalmente, que garantizar futuras restricciones a su comportamiento. Un cambio de actitud es la garantía más sólida posible para el futuro.
Cuando miro mis intentos de poner esto en práctica, no sólo fracaso, sino que parece que me meto en problemas más a menudo que a alguien más. Así que, por favor, ignoren mi consejo. Por inalcanzable que sea el ideal, la victoria sólo es valiosa por la paz que trae; la victoria sin paz no es victoria. Cuanto más derecho tengan de su lado, más generosamente deberán brindar oportunidades para que sus oponentes cambien de opinión.
¿Qué puedo saber yo? Ya basta de divagaciones. Sigue haciendo lo que te parezca mejor, lo estás haciendo muy bien. Alastair Haines ( discusión ) 10:50 4 jul 2008 (UTC)

No lo hagas. Responde después de mi mensaje, pero no lo intercales ni multipliques mi firma. Es de mala educación y rompe el hilo de mis argumentos. En cuanto a que los ateos son igualmente parciales, un ateo puede aceptar la historicidad de Jesús sin aceptar la historicidad de la resurrección, así que no. Ser ateo no te da un conflicto de intereses. Como cristiano, aceptas todo el paquete, lo que sí te da un conflicto de intereses. El mayor problema con el artículo de JM son las almas fieles que pasan la mayor parte de su tiempo tratando de desacreditarlo en lugar de leer los libros y tratar de convertirlo en un artículo interesante e informativo.

Me doy cuenta de que la página es parte de una narrativa religiosa, también es una historia de mitología (como las historias de la mitología griega, la mitología cristiana, etc.), por eso necesita el término "mitología". Me gustaría pedirle que vuelva a poner mi adición al tema, por favor. NathanLee ( discusión ) 10:55, 8 de agosto de 2008 (UTC) Del recuadro sobre mitología: "En su sentido académico, la palabra mito simplemente significa "una historia tradicional", ya sea verdadera o falsa. (—OED, Princeton Wordnet) A menos que se indique lo contrario, las palabras mitología y mito se utilizan aquí para narrativas sagradas y tradicionales, sin implicar que cualquier creencia así incorporada sea en sí misma verdadera o falsa". Esta es una historia de tipo mitología. Eso debe quedar claro en la introducción. NathanLee ( discusión ) 11:02, 8 de agosto de 2008 (UTC)

TB, pareces ser extremadamente susceptible y ofenderte con facilidad. Te sugiero que te calmes. Me acusas de añadir material engañoso a El Arca de Noé , pero en realidad no he añadido nada en absoluto, simplemente he combinado algunas secciones que tratan un tema común y les he dado un nombre más descriptivo. Sé que piensas que parte de este material no trata de la creencia en un arca literal (es decir, real, tangible, hecha de madera), y mi punto es que estás equivocado. Esto es algo que se puede discutir en la página de Discusión, no algo sobre lo que se pueda buscar arbitraje. Por favor, ve a la página de Discusión del artículo y expón tu caso.

- Querido muchacho taiwanés -
Noté que la sección que contiene el día 1260 tenía algunas adiciones que fueron eliminadas - aparentemente fue eliminada - no creo que sea apropiado eliminar eso de la discusión - la "discusión/tema del día-año" es altamente controversial y los Adventistas del Séptimo Día no tienen los derechos exclusivos a la discusión. Estoy ingresando esto nuevamente en el documento - francamente, debería haber espacio para opiniones adicionales sobre este tema - sigamos siendo profesionales en esta discusión - más eliminaciones no serían productivas. Me sorprenden sus restricciones y el comentario de que de alguna manera la interpretación futurista de los 2300 días no es pertinente al tema - eso no podría estar más lejos de la verdad. kriegerdwm ( discusión )
Doug Krieger ( discusión ) 01:47 9 mar 2009 (UTC)kriegerdwmDoug Krieger ( discusión ) 01:47 9 mar 2009 (UTC) Los 2.300 días interpretados como "años" como en "Día-año" son pertinentes al tema - interpretar los 2.300 días como años es considerado por muchos futuristas como erróneo y antiliteral y una distorsión de la hermenéutica de las Escrituras; por lo tanto, su inclusión es totalmente apropiada - eso es también. Su deseo de incluir las interpretaciones adventistas del séptimo día de los 2.300 días y omitir la interpretación futurista de los mismos es a la vez limitado y perjudicial en la discusión sobre "Día-año". Además, los 2.300 días tienen implicaciones sociopolíticas horrendas para la actualidad; asimismo, es el gran abismo interpretativo entre los premilenaristas evangélicos tradicionales y el historicismo, en particular, los pertenecientes al amilenarismo, el mormonismo, el adventismo del séptimo día y los testigos de Jehová. Despreciar la participación de Israel en el debate podría considerarse antisemita: "usted y su pueblo" pertenecen al pueblo judío, no a la iglesia. El literalismo bíblico entre los dispensacionalistas es inflexible en este asunto; no escuchar sus voces sobre este tema tan volátil sería una exclusión prejuiciosa grosera, antiintelectual y religiosamente provocativa.

Hola... He encontrado la referencia de von Staden. Es un buen relato académico de los problemas que planteaba la disección humana y de por qué se permitía en Alejandría pero no en ningún otro lugar de la antigüedad. Creo que también es comprensible. Aquí está parte de mi respuesta a tus comentarios en la página de Galeno: "No estoy seguro de hasta qué punto deberíamos llamar religiosas a las sensibilidades contra la disección y la vivisección. Von Staden tiene un artículo muy bueno sobre esto (1975 "El descubrimiento del cuerpo", Yale Journal of Biology and Medicine 65: 223-241). Creo que sería mejor decir que había tradiciones culturales sobre qué hacer con los cuerpos humanos... y que diseccionarlos no entraba dentro de esos límites".

En realidad, creo que lo que mejor funcionaría en este caso es una RfC, en la que las partes en desacuerdo expongan sus mejores argumentos con las menores palabras posibles para defender sus posiciones. Uno de los problemas que creo que tiene el artículo es que, si bien Calvino puede o no ser un lingüista académico particularmente calificado según nuestras opiniones actuales sobre el tema, sin duda es un orador extremadamente notable sobre el tema, en particular si el contenido está de acuerdo con lo que podría ser una práctica estándar en los grupos religiosos calvinistas. Si este último es el caso, podría ser bueno decir algo en el sentido de que Calvino está expresando la posición calvinista, no lo sé. En cualquier caso, como dije, tal vez lo mejor que se puede hacer es conseguir que los contendientes hagan resúmenes de sus posiciones, presenten una RfC, publiquen enlaces a la RfC en las páginas de discusión de WikiProjects relevantes y tal vez en artículos directamente relevantes, y luego esperar respuestas.

{{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}Durante una disputa, primero debe intentar debatir los cambios controvertidos y buscar un consenso . Si eso no da resultado, se le recomienda que busque una solución de disputa y, en algunos casos, puede ser adecuado solicitar la protección de la página .
@Taiwan boi: En una sección anterior de esta página de discusión, identificas precisamente tres reversiones, lo que sugiere que en ese momento no habías violado WP:3RR . Debes tener en cuenta que WP:3RR establece que "Un administrador puede actuar siempre que crea que el comportamiento de un usuario constituye una guerra de ediciones, y cualquier usuario puede informar sobre una guerra de ediciones, incluso si no se ha infringido la regla de las tres reversiones. La regla no es un derecho a revertir una página un número específico de veces". Te aconsejaría que no te bases en el número tres al revertir. Considera adoptar WP:BRD como modelo para interactuar con otros editores. {{WP:1RR]] debería ser el objetivo, no WP:3RR . -- Richard S ( discusión ) 18:18, 1 de diciembre de 2010 (UTC)
@Cualquier administrador que quiera considerar la posibilidad de acortar el bloqueo: WP:3RR establece que "los editores que violen la regla serán bloqueados normalmente durante 24 horas por un primer incidente". No estoy seguro de si Taiwan boi es un infractor primerizo, pero parece ser un colaborador valioso en una serie de artículos relacionados con el cristianismo y solicitaría que su bloqueo se reduzca a 24 horas si promete dejar de hacer guerras de edición. (NB: No tengo conocimiento de si es un infractor reincidente en lo que respecta a las guerras de edición, por lo que esta solicitud se realiza con la condición de que no sea un inveterado guerrero de edición). -- Richard S ( discusión ) 18:18, 1 de diciembre de 2010 (UTC)

No me gusta que hayas eliminado mi comentario en la página de discusión sobre el bautismo por inmersión. Eliminé un comentario porque no era más que un ataque personal y no intentaba ser productivo, y por lo tanto, según la política, puede eliminarse sin previo aviso. Esto lo expliqué en el resumen de la edición. TÚ eliminaste mi comentario, que no era un ataque personal y, por muy grosero que haya parecido, era un intento genuino de avanzar. No diste ninguna explicación al respecto. Así que explícate. Se informará sobre la eliminación de comentarios productivos, puedo garantizarlo. Farsight001 ( discusión ) 12:15 13 dic 2010 (UTC)

Paz... qué situación tan maravillosa... cuatro de las personalidades más espinosas de Wiki en una página... debe ser muy divertido.
En primer lugar, Farsight, por favor no elimines los comentarios de otros editores, incluso si son descortés. Hmm... bueno, cuando fui a WP:TALK para comprobar si entendía bien la política, encontré lo siguiente:
Tal vez sea útil repasar qué se considera un ataque personal.
Ahora bien, no estoy defendiendo a LoveMonkey. Tiene un estilo polémico que a menudo es descortés, pero lo que escribió no es un ataque personal según la definición de WP:NPA .
Dicho esto, supongo que actuará con buena fe y tomaré la palabra de Taiwan boi cuando diga que no tenía intención de eliminar tu comentario. El software de Wikimedia es bastante bueno para detectar conflictos de edición, pero no siempre. Creo que me ha pasado algo así una o dos veces. Es posible tomar una revisión antigua de una página, editarla y luego volver a colocarla, deshaciendo así la edición de otra persona sin querer. No debería pasar, pero creo que pasa.
De todos modos, creo que sería mejor que todos nos calmáramos y nos concentráramos en el proyecto que es, en caso de que lo hayas olvidado, escribir una enciclopedia.

He elaborado una tabla de términos en Talk:Christian mortalism#Tabla de términos sobre el estado intermedio . Échale un vistazo y comenta. St Anselm ( discusión ) 22:17 2 ene 2011 (UTC)
¡Hola! Es posible que me reconozcas como uno de los editores que ha publicado un comentario en tu borrador de RfC de Esoglou. Tengo una inquietud sobre una parte del borrador.
¿Por qué incluye WP:POINT como una de las "políticas y pautas aplicables" para esta RfC? Cuando WP:POINT habla de "no interrumpir Wikipedia para hacer una observación", se refiere específicamente a casos en los que un editor finge mantener una determinada posición para poner a la gente en contra de esa posición o hace una mala edición para demostrar por qué ese tipo de edición debería prohibirse. Para violar WP:POINT , Esoglou tendría que hacer X deliberadamente en un esfuerzo por poner a la gente en contra de X (por ejemplo, agregar un punto de vista anticatólico a los artículos en un esfuerzo por poner a la gente en contra de cualquier edición que sea crítica del catolicismo).
Hasta donde sé, tu descripción de la disputa no demuestra que Esoglou haya violado WP:POINT . Si pasé por alto alguna evidencia relevante que proporcionaste, por favor házmelo saber. -- Phatius McBluff ( discusión ) 06:30 12 ene 2011 (UTC)
Algunas observaciones finales (a las que puedes responder o no):
Lo siento, no pude evitar notar tu mensaje en la página de discusión de Richard. Para que conste, no tengo "quejas personales" contra LM. En general, LM ha sido bastante cortés conmigo, incluso me ha concedido una beca. Mi preocupación era su evidente conflicto interpersonal con Esoglou, que logró alejarme de editar artículos relacionados con el palamismo . Este conflicto indica (para mí, en todo caso) que Esoglou puede no haber sido el único responsable de lo que sucedió entre él y los editores de otros lugares. Ese es el único punto que estaba tratando de plantear con mis comentarios sobre LM. Mirando hacia atrás, me doy cuenta de que fue una tontería de mi parte agregar una larga lista de preocupaciones sobre LM a mi comentario de RfC. Como he explicado, honestamente pensé en ese momento que tu RfC de Esoglou era un foro apropiado para plantear esas preocupaciones. Puedes creer en esta afirmación de inocencia o no; no perderé más tiempo tratando de hacerlo.
Todavía no entiendo qué hice mal al preguntarte sobre WP:POINT . Era solo una pregunta honesta sobre por qué WP:POINT apareció en tu borrador. Nuevamente, si crees que debería haber abordado mi pregunta de otra manera específica, házmelo saber.
Para que conste, diré que tienes razón en plantear cualquier inquietud que tengas sobre Esoglou. He aportado mi granito de arena; si la RfC se hace pública, estaré encantado de dejar que se desarrolle como sea. Espero que nuestro encuentro no haya creado ningún resentimiento y que, si editamos juntos en el futuro, podamos hacerlo sin animosidad ni preconcepciones negativas. -- Phatius McBluff ( discusión ) 18:27 12 ene 2011 (UTC)
Por favor, deténgase. Continuar eliminando plantillas de mantenimiento de las páginas de Wikipedia, como hizo con Christian mortalism , sin resolver el problema al que se refiere la plantilla puede considerarse una edición disruptiva . Ediciones posteriores de este tipo pueden resultar en que se le bloquee la edición de Wikipedia. St Anselm ( discusión ) 05:21 19 ene 2011 (UTC)
Seguro que puedes encontrar una fuente que diga que el Patriarca se excedió en sus funciones. Por favor, ayuda. Gracias LoveMonkey ( discusión ) 13:26 27 ene 2011 (UTC)
Hola, muchacho de Taiwán. Veo que el hilo WP:AN3 está entrando en demasiados detalles y hay muchas discusiones de ida y vuelta. ¿Ves algo que la gente haya dicho que haría razonable reformular o cambiar tu propuesta original? EdJohnston ( discusión ) 19:16 4 feb 2011 (UTC)
Hola de nuevo. Entiendo que te comunicas con LM por correo electrónico, por lo que supongo que tienes alguna influencia sobre él. Lee el comentario que publiqué aquí. Me preguntaba si podrías intentar convencer a LM de que atribuya las frases sobre comentarios ortodoxos sobre la Iglesia Católica Romana a personas y documentos específicos cada vez que los edite, incluso si solo está editando frases preexistentes. Esto eliminará cualquier duda sobre si LM está obedeciendo las restricciones. No quiero que se desate una pelea nuevamente, por lo que quiero asegurarme de que Esoglou no tenga absolutamente ningún motivo para quejarse sobre el comportamiento de LM. -- Phatius McBluff ( discusión ) 17:15 14 feb 2011 (UTC)
No quiero involucrarme en otra de estas discusiones tontas, así que me preguntaba si podrías intentar cortar de raíz este asunto. Mira aquí y aquí; si estás de acuerdo con mi reacción, ¿podrías respaldarme? Gracias. -- Phatius McBluff ( discusión ) 00:22 16 mar 2011 (UTC)

As many of you may know, our unofficial mascot, dear Wikipe-tan, hasn't yet indicated any particular beliefs. However, yes, as we all know, ahem, some people might object to our beloved mascot running around in a French maid outfit. People do talk, you know. ;) If anyone might be able to develop an image of the dear lady in a image more, well, "Christian," I would like to see perhaps a vote for next month as to which, if any, image of the dear girl we might make our own unofficial mascot. Please post your images here.

Ichthus will spotlight a different subproject or workgroup of WikiProject Christianity. This edition will spotlight on our vital Outreach department. This comparatively small, but vital, project unit is dedicated to welcoming new editors to Wikipedia and the Christianity related content, and to providing information to the various project members, in forms like this newsletter.
The scope of articles with which this group deals is truly enormous, and, given the wide variety of material with which we deal, we would very much welcome the input of more individuals, particularly individuals who are particularly knowledgeable of the less well-known and less frequently monitored articles related to Christianity.
Speaking personally, I would be very, very gratified if we were to have this become a very, very large and active unit, with members from the broad spectrum of Christian beliefs, practices, and groups. The broader the spectrum and areas of expertise of members we have, the better we will be able to help manage the content. Please consider whether you believe you might be able to contribute in this vital area.

... in the statements contained in the Nicene Creed. I believe that the Bible is one of the two defining bases for belief. The other is the Sacred tradition, which provides us with means of interpreting the Scriptures, as well as some teachings which have been handed on by God outside of the scriptures. I believe that the Magisterium has been empowered to fill this interpretative function. I believe that clerical celibacy is a rule that should generally be followed. I am a member of the Catholic Church.

Contest of the month
We currently have a remarkable lack of Wikipedia:Wikipedia-Books. Right now, Category:Wikipedia books on Christianity contains only 12 books. We certainly could have at least one book on each major grouping within Christianity. One of the challenges for this month, then, is working to put together books on relevant topics. For this month, one contest is for editors to assemble the basic Wikipedia books for each of the main topics of the extant related projects. When finished, they should their creation of the books at the main Christianity noticeboard, and at the end of the month the project will award barnstars to those who have made a significant efforts in developing this underdeveloped content.
Also this month, we are going to have have a challenge to create and improve some of our more important missing or low-quality articles. As biographies are often a bit easier, this month we are choosing two biographies: Karl Behm, which has yet to be started, and the currently Stub-class article Nerses IV the Gracious. A barnstar will be awarded to any editor who can get these articles up to DYK quality level and ultimately selected for the DYK section of the main page.
Calendar
Thie coming month (mid-August through mid-September) includes feasts dedicated to the honor of Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary, Bartholomew the Apostle, Nativity of Mary, and the Exaltation of the Cross.

Wikinews is our sister site for developing news stories. Several events relating to Christianity, like the installation of bishops for instance, do not necessarily merit extensive coverage in wikipedia encyclopedic articles, but can and easily could be covered at greater length in a news article format. Given the number of significant news events that relate to religion, including claims of miracles, assignment of bishops and other religious leaders, church conferences, and other events, this site provides an excellent opportunity to provide in-depth coverage of current events at greater length than wikipedia.

One of our newer editors, User:David_FLXD, has recently gone through much of our content related to Methodism and assessed it. We are very grateful for his efforts, and that of all the editors who have had a role in developing that content. We have every reason to believe that this will make it significantly easier for the Methodism work group to create and develop content relevant to Methodism. To help that along, we certainly encourage everyone to do what they can to help David and the other Methodism editors to bring the content relevant to their tradition to the highest possible level of quality.

As some of you may have seen, the Simple English Wikipedia has been experiencing some difficulties lately. This particular entity could be of great value to several individuals who are trying to learn English. As some of you who do speak foreign languages know, one of the most easily available, and, in general, useful learning aids for people is a text they know already, which allows them to focus on the specific words of the new language. Various recorded readings and translations of the Bible are among the best examples of this. Any efforts to try to enhance this vital means of informing a large segment of our readership is more than welcome. People interested in helping develop it are encouraged to leave a note regarding their specific articles of interest at the Christianity noticeboard. It would be wonderful if we could report some significant contributions to this sister site next month. And, of course, if we do have something to report, those involved would receive our greatest thanks.

WikiProject Calvinism is one of our more important subprojects. It is specifically devoted to developing content relating to the Calvinist tradition, and the primary point for development of content relating to the Pilgrims, Presbyterians, Reformed churches, Congregational church, Reformed Baptists, and Low church. We definitely encourage everyone to do what they can to help this project develop the content relating to this extremely important Christian tradition.
I believe
... that human nature is insufficient for salvation, and the grace of God is required to do so. I believe that God has preordained who will and will not achieve salvation. I believe that Jesus's atonement was sufficient for the purposes for which it was done. I believe that God's grace is of such power that it can overcome any person's resistance. I believe that those whom God has chosen for salvation will, by the undeniable power of God, persevere in God's grace. I am a Calvinist.

WikiProject Holidays/Christmas task force is the group whose purpose is to help develop the content related to the Christmas season, including Advent, New Year's, and related holidays. As many of us know, in several parts of the world, including the United States, the Christmas season is not only the time of one of the greatest holidays of the Christian liturgical year, but it is also the "make or break" time for many retailers, whose profitability for the year often depends on their success in this time of the giving of sometimes significantly expensive gifts. In other parts of the world, the winter solstice period and sometimes specifically Christmas itself means something that might surprise many Christians, like the Christmas in Japan, where Christmas is one of the times hotels receive the greatest number of, often unmarried, couples staying there for the night. The solstice season is also significant to several other religions. Many of these days are also legal holidays in several places. In Belarus, for instance, both the Western and Eastern Christmas commemorations are legal holidays. We would certainly welcome the members of this project to donate some of their time and talents in the upcoming months to improving this significant content.

The core topics work group is the group whose specific purpose is to help identify and develop those articles which are of greatest importance to an overall understanding of the broad subject of Christianity, based on what is included in the core topics list. These articles include some of specific churches and individuals, history, philosophical and theological matters, and more. We have had some recent discussion regarding which articles should be included in this list, and it probably makes sense to revisit the selections, and try to figure out how best to work to make them high quality articles. Discussion is beginning at WT:X regarding these matters, and all input is welcome.

Contest of the month
As I imagine many of our editors will be editing at a greatly reduced level for the next few weeks, what with the Christmas and New Year's holidays coming, there is no specific content-related contest this month. The contest, if anything, is to make the most of the season, in whatever way, if any, you deem appropriate.
Calendar
This coming month (mid-December through mid-January) includes the Advent season, and one of the two greatest holidays of the Christian year, Christmas. Other major feasts in the next month include those of the Feast of the Epiphany, Baptism of the Lord, Saint Stephen, Thomas the Apostle, Holy Innocents, John the Evangelist, Gregory of Nazianzus, Basil the Great, Saint Genevieve, Elizabeth Ann Seton, and Saint Sava.
Featured content and GA report
Since the last report, Anne Hutchinson nominated by User:Sarnold17 was promoted to FA. Grade I listed churches in Lancashire by User:Peter I. Vardy was promoted to Featured List. The image in the Church of the Month and Christian art sections of this newsletter were promoted to Featured Picture status. Come to the Well by User:Toa Nidhiki05 and others, and Dwight Christmas by User:Gen. Quon and others were promoted to GA level. DYKs featured this past month include King's Chapel, Gibraltar, by User:Prioryman, Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception (Albany, New York) by User:Daniel Case, Tingsted Church by User:Ipigott and User:Rosiestep, St. Mary's Church (Albany, New York) by User:Daniel Case, Stubbekøbing Church by User:Ipigott and User:Rosiestep, Notre Dame Cathedral (Phnom Penh) by User:Bloom6132, and St. James' Church, Cardington by User:Peter I.

In the spirit of Christmas, the spotlight for the coming month might actually best be on those people closest to you. We know that a lot of our editors here are associated in some way or another with schools, and many if not most of them are going on rather extended breaks for the holidays. This can give some of us a chance to meet up with old friends, spend time with our families and those close to us, and, in a sense, "recharge" for the new year. So, for all of you who are in some way part of that group, we wish you the very best of holidays. We hope you all return to editing after the holidays with your spirits lifted and with your energies at peak level. There are some small matters in development here as well, and it is our hope that some of them will be ready come the next newsletter. But, until then, we wish you all the happiest and holiest (if appropriate) holidays.

Contest of the month
No particular contest this month. I am however getting rather close to getting together a more or less complete set of articles relating to different areas of Christianity which can be found in recent reference sources on the broad topic of Christianity, and about various subtopics, which I hope to have finished in the next few weeks. I wonder what the rest of you might think of, maybe, making the contests of future months be basically directed at filling in the gaps of our existing coverage of topics, like those topics given significant coverage in specialized reference works which we don't yet have content on, and giving the thanks, and rewards, whatever they might be, to those who create and develop such content.

The Spotlight this month turns to the the Syriac Christianity work group. The scope of this project includes the various traditions of Syriac Christianity, including the Assyrian Church of the East, Ancient Church of the East, Church of the East, Syriac Orthodox Church, Chaldean Catholic Church, Malankara Orthodox Syrian Church, Melkite Greek Catholic Church, Syriac Catholic Church, Syro-Malankara Catholic Church, and Saint Thomas Christians. One of these groups, the Assyrian Church of the East, is considered by scholars to have probably been, for several hundred years, the largest Christian grouping in the planet, with its numerous members in Central Asia and Eastern Asia. Numerous texts, traditions, and practices unique to these groups exist, including the Jesus Sutras and the belief of the Assyrian Church of the East that the bread they use in the preparation of their Eucharist uses the same basic yeast as that used in the bread of the Last Supper itself. Sadly, given the linguistic barriers to much of the content relative to these groups, and the comparative lack of notoriety they have in the Western world, much of this content does receive less attenion, and thus less development, than much other content. There is a large amount of extremely valuable historical material here still waiting to be adequately developed by editors with an interest in the topic, and I personally very much hope that we can draw more attention to these topics, and the content related to them.

We apologise for the hiatus in the publication of this newsletter due to unforseen circumstances leading to the wikibreak of John Carter, and so I have taken over as acting editor, and have taken this opportunity to move the publication date to the start of each month as planned, to better reflect on the previous month and look ahead to the next. This issue covers the period of time from mid-January to the end of March.
Since the last issue we have seen the resignation of Pope Benedict XVI and the election of Pope Francis. This has received much coverage both in the world media and on Wikipedia. While there is still much work to do, several quality articles have been written and the editors involved are thanked for their efforts.
This month we look ahead to Easter and the celebration of God's love for mankind through the crucifixion and resurrection of his Son Jesus Christ. With that, I wish you all happy reading!

The Spotlight this month turns to the the Jesus work group. The scope of this project includes the life and teachings of the central figure of Christianity, Jesus Christ and aims to write about them in a non-denominational encylopædic style. Top-priority articles include Jesus, Christ, Resurrection of Jesus, and Holy Grail, whereas High-priority articles include Aramaic Language, a former FA, as well as Sermon on the Mount, Lamb of God, and Passion (Christianity). The workgroup has also published two books, covering Christ's final days and the Parables of Jesus. The workgroup has two GAs, Nativity scene, and Jesus in Islam, but unfortunately the flagship article, Jesus was delisted in 2009. It is also responsible for three WP:1.0 articles, and the WikiWork of the project is 4.56, which indicates the "average" article is between Start and C class.

This month we hear the news that the Bible is to be made into a film after outstanding success of a biblical miniseries on the History Channel, and we have seen the release of Iraqi Pastor Ali Hamzah from his confinement in Iraq.
After last month's spotlight on the Jesus work group, the flagship article, Jesus, was nominated for Good Article status after much work from FutureTrillionaire and History2007, and provisionally passed by the reviewer, although they have requested a second opinion. Our many thanks for the hard work that has gone into restoring this article to a quality piece of work.
This month the second largest denomination of Christianity, the Eastern Orthodox Church, celebrates Easter and the death and resurrection of the Son of God Jesus Christ.

SPOTLIGHT
This month, we turn our attention to the Encyclopedic articles sub-group, which aims to provide "a collection point for lists of articles contained in other reference sources relating to Christianity, which could serve as a basis for developing our own content". Created by John Carter, it is primarily a list of links, red or otherwise, for subjects which have an article in the reference works listed therein. This serves as a very useful list if any project members are "stuck for what to do" and there remains lots of potential for articles developed from this list.

From the Editor
Starting this month we will start a "Focus on" series, where we will try to "bring Jesus back" and focus on him. For five consecutive issues we will focus on one aspect of the study of Jesus. The goal of this series is to inform our members of what the project contains and highlight those articles which have reached quality and stability.
From this month until November we will focus on the historical Jesus, a topic which has been the subject of much discussion on article talk pages, as well as the general media. This is an important topic, and we have a good set of well referenced articles on that now. Then, starting in December we will focus on Christ, and the spiritual and theological elements that the title entails. Following that the review of the life and ministry of Jesus in the New Testament, his miracles, and parables will take place. And each month the "Bookshelf" will mention a book that fits the theme of the month.
We hope you will enjoy this journey as we present a new aspect of Jesus each month. And given that as the number of project pages increases, the ratio of those watching the pages declines, we hope that more of you will watch some of these central pages that help define this project.

THE
HISTORICAL JESUS
Did Jesus exist? Did he walk the streets of Jerusalem? The Historicity of Jesus article answers these questions with a firm affirmative. Historicity does not discuss if Jesus walked on water, but if he walked at all. The issue was the subject of scholarly debate before the end of last century, but the academic debate is almost over now. As the article discusses, virtually all academic opposition to the existence of Jesus has evaporated away now and scholars see it as a concluded issue. The discussion is now just among mostly self-published non-academics.
In 2011 John Dickson tweeted that if anyone finds a professor of history who denies that Jesus lived,he would eat a page of his Bible (Matthew 1 he said). Dickson's Bible is still safe.
The article discusses the ancient sources that relate to Jesus and how they fit together to establish that he existed. The evidence for Jesus is not just based on the Christian gospels, but by inter-relating them with non-Christian sources, and the fact that they all "fit together". Moreover, the existence of Jesus is not supported just by Christian scholars and in recent years the detailed knowledge of Jewish scholars and their discoveries (e.g. Shlomo Pines' discovery of the Syriac Josephus) has proven highly beneficial. We encourage you to read and follow the article, for the existence of Jesus is central to the existence of Christianity.
From the bookshelf
Just a few years after its publication, Van Voorst's book has become the standard comprehensive text for the discussion of ancient sources that relate to Jesus and his historicity. This detailed yet really readable book has received wide ranging endorsements - Blomberg and Harris separately referring to it as the most comprehensive treatment of the subject.

WP:X has gained another Featured Article, Gospel of the Ebionites, by Ignocrates. The Gospel of the Ebionites is the name scholars give to an apocryphal gospel that supposedly belonged to a sect known as the Ebionites. It consists of seven short quotations discovered in a heresiology known as the Panarion, written by Epiphanius of Salamis, and its original title remains unknown. The text is a gospel harmony composed in Greek, and is believed to have been written during the middle of the 2nd century.
St Mihangel's Church, Llanfihangel yn Nhowyn was promoted to Good Article status, as was two other welsh churches, St Enghenedl's Church, Llanynghenedl, and St Peter's Church, Llanbedrgoch.
The main page also featured several DYK hooks for articles in our project, namely Bob Fu, List of places of worship in Tandridge (district), Catholic Press, Garendon Abbey, St. John's Episcopal Church (Jersey City, New Jersey), Pargev Martirosyan, Praskvica Monastery, Heather Preceptory, St. Augustin, Coburg, Longleat Priory, St Mihangel's Church, Llanfihangel yn Nhowyn, St Enghenedl's Church, Llanynghenedl, Christianization of Moravia, Christianization of Bohemia, Repton Abbey, St Peter's Church, Llanbedrgoch, Medingen Abbey, Elmhurst Christian Reformed Church, St. James on-the-Lines, and Leopold Karl von Kollonitsch.

THE
HISTORICAL JESUS
When did Jesus live? When did he die? How do we know? We do, in fact, have excellent information about the time intervals for the life and death of Jesus. As in other people who lived and died in the first century, this gives an approximate date range, but still, give or take 3-4 years and we have pretty good estimates confirmed by a number of really diverse sources, ranging from inscriptions in Delphi to Roman and Jewish sources. The Chronology of Jesus article discusses how a wide variety of Christian, Jewish and Roman sources are used to establish the time-frame for the life and death of Jesus.
And all of his data fits together. For instance, the chronology of Paul had been discussed based on the Book of Acts long ago, then the Delphi Inscription is found in the 20th century in the Temple of Apollo. And guess what.. it confirms it and totally dates his trial in Corinth, which helps reaffirm the date of the crucifixion of Jesus. The same date range is independently estimated from the writings of Josephus on the Baptist's death. And it fits Isaac Newton's astronomical models for the crucifixion date as well as the independent lunar calculations of Humphreys. As that article shows, all these dates just fit together.
From the bookshelf
This two volume book (with a very apt title) is gem-filled with scholarly research. Paul Maier's article in the first volume is a classic study on the chronology of Jesus and provides a useful summary of a number of issues.

THE
HISTORICAL JESUS
What was Jesus like? What did he preach? Did he claim to be the Messiah? Did he predict an apocalypse? What can we know about him outside a religious context? The Historical Jesus article discusses what can be known about Jesus with various degrees of probability. While scholars agree on the over all flow and outline of Jesus' life (his baptism by John, debated Jewish authorities, healings, and his crucifixion by Pilate) they have built various and diverging portraits of the rest of his life. These range from minimalist portraits that accept very little of the gospel accounts to maximalists who accept most of the accounts as historical.
The portraits of Jesus have at times been unwitting reflections of the researchers themselves, and Crossan once quipped that some authors "do autobiography and call it biography". However, the study of historical Jesus has made one thing clear: there is so much to learn about Jesus that the more one looks, the more there is to discover.
From the bookshelf
In this book Maurice Casey not only draws on his special expertise in the Aramaic traditions and the Q source, but provides a comprehensive review of the various approaches to the historical Jesus.

Jesus (7–2 BC to 30–33 AD) is the central figure of Christianity, whom the teachings of most Christian denominations hold to be the Son of God and the awaited Messiah of the Old Testament. Virtually all modern scholars of antiquity agree that a historical Jesus existed, although there is little agreement on the reliability of the gospel narratives and how closely the biblical Jesus reflects the historical Jesus. Most scholars agree that Jesus was a Jewish preacher from Galilee, was baptized by John the Baptist, and was crucified in Jerusalem on the orders of the Roman prefect, Pontius Pilate. Christians generally believe that Jesus was conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of a virgin, performed miracles, founded the Church, died by crucifixion as a sacrifice to achieve atonement, rose from the dead, and ascended into heaven, from which he will return. The great majority of Christians worship Jesus as the incarnation of God the Son, the second of three Persons of a Divine Trinity. A few Christian groups reject Trinitarianism, wholly or partly, as non-scriptural. In Islam, Jesus is considered one of God's important prophets and the Messiah. (Full article...)

Last month's auspicious relaunch of our newsletter precipitated something of an uproar in the Wikipedia community. What started as a localized edit war over censorship spilled over onto the Administrator's Noticeboard finally ending up at Wikipedia's supreme judicial body ArbCom. Their ruling resulted in the admonishment of administrator Future Perfect at Sunrise for his involvement in the dispute. The story was reported by Wikipedia's venerable flagship newspaper The Signpost.
The question of whether to delete all portals--including the 27 Christianity-related portals--was put to the Wikipedia community. Approximately 400 editors have participated in the protracted discussion. Going by !votes, Oppose deletion has a distinct majority. The original Christianity Portal was created on November 5, 2005 by Brisvegas and the following year he successfully nominated the portal for Featured Portal. The Transhumanist has revived WikiProject Portals with hopes of revitalizing Wikipedia's system of 1,515 portals.

Operation Auca was an attempt by five Evangelical Christian missionaries from the United States to make contact with the Huaorani people of the rainforest of Ecuador. The Huaorani, also known as the Aucas, were an isolated tribe known for their violence, both against their own people and outsiders who entered their territory. With the intention of being the first Protestants to evangelize the Huaorani, the missionaries began making regular flights over Huaorani settlements in September 1955, dropping gifts. After several months of exchanging gifts, on January 2, 1956, the missionaries established a camp at "Palm Beach", a sandbar along the Curaray River, a few miles from Huaorani settlements. Their efforts culminated on January 8, 1956, when all five—Jim Elliot, Nate Saint, Ed McCully, Peter Fleming, and Roger Youderian—were attacked and speared by a group of Huaorani warriors. The news of their deaths was broadcast around the world, and Life magazine covered the event with a photo essay. The deaths of the men galvanized the missionary effort in the United States, sparking an outpouring of funding for evangelization efforts around the world. Their work is still frequently remembered in evangelical publications, and in 2006, was the subject of the film production End of the Spear. (more...)

The Mortara case was a controversy precipitated by the Papal States' seizure of Edgardo Mortara, a six-year-old Jewish child, from his family in Bologna, Italy, in 1858. The city's inquisitor, Father Pier Feletti, heard from a servant that she had administered emergency baptism to the boy when he fell sick as an infant, and the Supreme Sacred Congregation of the Roman and Universal Inquisition held that this made the child irrevocably a Catholic. Because the Papal States had forbidden the raising of Christians by members of other faiths, it was ordered that he be taken from his family and brought up by the Church. After visits from the child's father, international protests mounted, but Pope Pius IX would not be moved. The boy grew up as a Catholic with the Pope as a substitute father, trained for the priesthood in Rome until 1870, and was ordained in France three years later. In 1870 the Kingdom of Italy captured Rome during the unification of Italy, ending the pontifical state; opposition across Italy, Europe and the United States over Mortara's treatment may have contributed to its downfall.

List of dates predicted for apocalyptic events. Predictions of apocalyptic events that would result in the extinction of humanity, a collapse of civilization, or the destruction of the planet have been made since at least the beginning of the Christian Era. Most predictions are related to Abrahamic religions, often standing for or similar to the eschatological events described in their scriptures. Christian predictions typically refer to events like the Rapture, Great Tribulation, Last Judgment, and the Second Coming of Christ.
Polls conducted in 2012 across 20 countries found over 14% of people believe the world will end in their lifetime, with percentages raging from 6% of people in France to 22% in the US and Turkey. In the UK in 2015, the general public believed the likeliest cause would be nuclear war, while experts thought it would be artificial intelligence. Between one and three percent of people from both countries thought the apocalypse would be caused by zombies or alien invasion. (more...)

... that the first attempt to build the Holy Trinity Cathedral of the Alexander Nevsky Lavra resulted in the demolition of the nearly completed structure?
Saint Fin Barre's Cathedral is a Gothic Revival three-spire cathedral in the city of Cork, Ireland. It belongs to the Church of Ireland and was completed in 1879. The cathedral is located on the south side of the River Lee, on ground that has been a place of worship since the 7th century, and is dedicated to Finbarr of Cork, patron saint of the city. It was once in the Diocese of Cork; it is now one of the three cathedrals in the Church of Ireland Diocese of Cork, Cloyne and Ross, in the ecclesiastical province of Dublin. Christian use of the site dates back to a 7th-century AD monastery, which according to legend was founded by Finbarr of Cork. The entrances contain the figures of over a dozen biblical figures, capped by a tympanum showing a Resurrection scene.

When God Writes Your Love Story: The Ultimate Approach to Guy/Girl Relationships is a 1999 book by Eric and Leslie Ludy, an American married couple. After becoming a bestseller on the Christian book market, the book was republished in 2004 and then revised and expanded in 2009. It tells the story of the authors' first meeting, courtship, and marriage. The authors advise single people not to be physically or emotionally intimate with others, but to wait for the spouse that God has planned for them.
The book is divided into five sections and sixteen chapters. Each chapter is written from the perspective of one of the two authors; nine are by Eric, while Leslie wrote seven, as well as the introduction. The Ludys argue that one's love life should be both guided by and subordinate to one's relationship with God. Leslie writes that God offers new beginnings to formerly unchaste or sexually abused individuals.

A Song for Simeon, is a 37-line poem written in 1928 by American-English poet T. S. Eliot (1888–1965). It is one of five poems that Eliot contributed to the Ariel poems series of 38 pamphlets by several authors published by Faber and Gwyer. "A Song for Simeon" was the sixteenth in the series and included an illustration by avant garde artist Edward McKnight Kauffer. The poem's narrative echoes the text of the Nunc dimittis, a liturgical prayer for Compline from the Gospel passage. Eliot introduces literary allusions to earlier writers Lancelot Andrewes, Dante Alighieri and St. John of the Cross. Critics have debated whether Eliot's depiction of Simeon is a negative portrayal of a Jewish figure and evidence of anti-Semitism on Eliot's part.
