'''Hey all, just writing this to let you know that I'm creating a [[collectible card game]] called Animal Herders. In the game you are a herder of animals and gather a herd to fight your opponent. When one animal can't match the strength of another, it runs away from your herd. When a player subdues his opponents herd, he wins. The target release date is August or September of 2009. Please see [http://www.animalherders.com/ Animal Herders]'''

==[[Jesus]]==

I recently found that the [[Jesus]] article on Wikipedia is the first item that comes up when you search for "Jesus" on the world’s most widely used search engine, Google.

Please edit the Jesus article to make it an accurate and excellent representation of Him.

The [[Jesus]] article may be a person’s first impression of Jesus. It would be nice if their first impression was from a Christian or the Bible, but for so many in these new days it probably comes from the Internet. Watch the [[Jesus]] page to keep it focused on Him. Thanks a lot.

Also, watch out to follow Wikipedia's [[Wikipedia:Policies and guidelines|Policies and guidelines]]. It is especially hard for the [[Wikipedia:Three-revert rule|Three-revert rule]] and the [[Wikipedia:Neutral point of view|Neutral point of view]] policy to be followed because of the nature of the article, but please follow these policies along with [[WP:CITE|citing sources]] so that the article does not get locked from editing and can't be improved further. Thanks again. [[User:Scifiintel|Scifiintel]] 16:50, 3 January 2007 (UTC)

== Jesus comments ==

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia - I hope you like it. However, I'm somewhat concerned about the messages you've been leaving on the talk pages of a large number of Christian users, as many people may regard it as spam, or canvassing to support your point of view. You might like to take a look at [[WP:CANVAS]]. You should, however, be aware that you are liable to be [[WP:BP|blocked]] for disruption if you continue. Thanks, [[User:David.Mestel|David Mestel]]<sup>([[User Talk:David.Mestel|Talk]])</sup> 18:24, 3 January 2007 (UTC)
:Weeeel... maybe. But you definitely shouldn't do it on individual user talk pages on such a large scale. Far better to say something on [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Christianity]]. [[User:David.Mestel|David Mestel]]<sup>([[User Talk:David.Mestel|Talk]])</sup> 18:30, 3 January 2007 (UTC)
:(reply to comment left on David's talk page) The problem here is that mass-canvassing of every single editor who identifies as Christian isn't the correct way to get help with the article - posting on the article's talk page (or on project talk, as David suggested) is a better idea. But please do not continue to canvass talk pages, since it is considered [[WP:SPAM|spam]] and could possibly result in a block. --'''[[User:Coredesat|Core]][[User talk:Coredesat|<font color="#3399FF">desat</font>]]''' 18:33, 3 January 2007 (UTC)
::[[WP:CANVAS]] is proposed, but at the moment, there is a canvassing clause in [[WP:SPAM]], which is not proposed. And one or two positive responses to your mass posting are not worth posting the same message on nearly 400 user talk pages (plus possibly more, I noticed you tried to add [[:Category:Protestant Wikipedians]] as a subcategory to the Christian one) - it is disruptive, as not all people in these categories edit [[Jesus]] on an active basis, nor are they obligated to (and some may not want to, nor may they want the message to begin with). Just use [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Christianity]]'s talk page - you are more likely to find interested editors there. --'''[[User:Coredesat|Core]][[User talk:Coredesat|<font color="#3399FF">desat</font>]]''' 18:49, 3 January 2007 (UTC)
: Look here: Campaigning

A hard and fast rule does not exist with regard to selectively notifying certain editors who have or are thought to have a predetermined point of view on their talk pages in order to influence a vote. However, the greater the number of editors contacted, the more often this behavior is engaged in, and the greater the resulting disruption, the more likely it is that this behavior will result in warnings and/or sanctions. Some Wikipedians have suggested that informing editors on all "sides" of a debate (e.g., everyone who voted in a previous AfD on a given subject) may be acceptable.

The Arbitration Committee has ruled that "[t]he occasional light use of cross-posting to talk pages is part of Wikipedia's common practice. However, excessive cross-posting goes against current Wikipedia community norms. In a broader context, it is unwiki. "1. Wikipedia editors are therefore not to engage in aggressive cross-posting in order to influence votes, discussions, requests for adminship, requests for comment, etc.

[edit] Friendly notice

If there are a small handful of editors who share your taste and/or philosophy, it is sometimes acceptable to contact them with regard to a specific issue as long as it does not become disruptive. This is more acceptable if they have made an unsolicited request to be kept informed, and absolutely unacceptable if they have asked you to stop. I believe my posts fall into both the legal sides of these categories which is from the Spam article. [[User:Scifiintel|Scifiintel]] 19:05, 3 January 2007 (UTC)
:You have a large hand if nearly 400 editors is a handful. [[User:David.Mestel|David Mestel]]<sup>([[User Talk:David.Mestel|Talk]])</sup> 19:11, 3 January 2007 (UTC)
::Regardless, contact groups - not individuals. For instance, post your request for review on the talk page of a Wikiproject rather than spamming user talk pages. Also, refrain from gaming the system (see [[Wikipedia:Don%27t_disrupt_Wikipedia_to_illustrate_a_point#Gaming_the_system]].) The number of editors who have taken issue with your canvassing thus far is indicative of the frowned upon nature of your actions. --[[User:Strothra|Strothra]] 19:17, 3 January 2007 (UTC)
:::Perhaps some frown, but obviously some do not. Nevertheless, Wikipedia is not a democracy. Wikipedia's Policies explicitly say that they should not be followed if they hinder the improvement of the Encyclopedia. What I am doing is helping to improve the encyclopedia. And even still what you are complaining about has no hard and fast rule attached to it. [[User:Scifiintel|Scifiintel]] 19:28, 3 January 2007 (UTC)
::::That doesn't mean that you should go around doing it anyway. Your actions are close to violating [[WP:POINT]]. I'm only pointing this out as a friendly warning. --[[User:Strothra|Strothra]] 19:35, 3 January 2007 (UTC)
:::::The only problem with your "Point" reference and saying that I am close to violating it is that I'm not close at all to violating it. "Point" refers to trying to make a point about a policy. My actions do not fall under a Policy definitively. [[User:Scifiintel|Scifiintel]] 21:20, 3 January 2007 (UTC)
* I '''agree''' with the admins and others that have asked you to stop canvassing. Canvassing is clearly against WP policy, and it is unwelcome... even on a topic many of us revere such as Jesus (and making sure the Jesus article is factual, NPOV, and correct). Personally, I happily consider myself a Christian and don't mind someone asking me to make sure the [[Jesus]] page is well-maintained, but I agree with [[User:David.Mestel|David Mestel]] that the appropriate venue for that request is [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Christianity]]. --[[User:Jhortman|Jhortman]] 22:26, 3 January 2007 (UTC)
::::::I agree that Scifiintel's actions are not restricted by any of the policies mentioned, since he is only asking Christians to improve the [[Jesus]] page. This is acceptable, since the purpose of Namespace, userboxes, the Wikipedia community and categories is to allow editors who are knowledgeable on a subject to be found. The so called spam does not try to influence opinion, votes, discussions or requests, only asks the user to help improve [[Jesus]]. This should be a welcome request to Christians who should not want Jesus to be presented in an incorrect way.

:::::::Well, as a Wikipedian, I would not want ''any topic'' to be presented in an "incorrect way," as you state. (That is, in a factually incorrect or non-NPOV manner.) The correct place to ask for vigilance in maintaining a page, though, is on the project page of the related project, if it's a topic with a great amount of interest, as Jesus certainly is. Just my $.02, though. --[[User:Jhortman|Jhortman]] 22:02, 4 January 2007 (UTC)

You have been blocked for '''48 hours''' for internal spamming and canvassing. Do not do it again.

== A suggestion. ==

In order to fully comply with [[Wikipedia:Canvassing]], I suggest that you:

*Be open. Don't make cross-posts that initially appear to be individual messages.
*Avoid redundancy. Rather than copying the same five page essay to twenty talk pages, write it once, in the place where it is most relevant, and then link to it.
<div class="references-small">'''(The above were taken from [[Wikipedia:Canvassing]])'''</div>

Perhaps you should add a line to your message that it has been sent to many Christian Wikipedians, and instead of adding the whole message to other talk pages, link to your own (for example with <nowiki>[[User_talk:Scifiintel#Jesus|I have asked others who have added themselves to the Christian Wikipedians category to read this post on my talk page]]</nowiki> ).

== BenC7 here ==

I wouldn't worry too much, even if your edits have been reverted; when users log on, they will still see a "you have new messages" message. Looking at the page history shows the message. [[User:BenC7|BenC7]] 01:14, 4 January 2007 (UTC)
:Thank you very much. [[User:Scifiintel|Scifiintel]] 05:20, 4 January 2007 (UTC)

::Hi there,
::I unfortunately have to agree with the Wikipedia policy on this issue. First of all, thank you for posting the message. You posted it on my alternate account, but I did see it on my watchlist. Thank you for the reminder, and we do need to keep the [[Jesus]] article, and other ones too, on our watchlists. However, I do have to gently remind you that going against the Wikipedia policy in a forceful manner does not accomplish anything. I realize that you probably didn't realize the policy regarding spam at the time of posting, but I think the best thing to do now is just to let ruffled feathers rest a little, and then taking future issues directly to the Christianity portal's talk page. Your intentions were good, I'm sure of that, but going at it this way isn't a very good testimony to Christ. If you read the comments regarding this situation on [[User_talk:Cyde|Cyde's talk page]], you can see that a lot of negative comments were partially provoked by this situation. Many Christians, in defense of this incident, were very angry in their expression of their feelings. I think the best thing in this case is to just let it pass. Show the others in the Wikipedia community that Christians are not stuck up people who cannot let an incident like this pass. I know that God will reveal to you what to do in this situation. In Christ, <b>[[User:lovelaughterlife|<font color="CC0000">lov</font>]]<font color="#009900">[[user:lovelaughterlife/Esperanza|e]]</font>[[User:lovelaughterlife|<font color="CC0000">laughterlife♥</font>]]<sup>[[User_talk:Lovelaughterlife|<font color="CC0000">talk?</font>]]</sup></b> 05:14, 7 January 2007 (UTC)
:::Thanks for the comment, and I agree; however, I don't necessarily agree that it's not a good testimony to Christ. Sometimes it's not good to be angry, but sometimes it is.

:::Titus 1:7 says "For the overseer must be above reproach as God's steward, not self-willed, ''not quick-tempered'', not addicted to wine, not pugnacious, not fond of sordid gain," (NASB) which means a justified temper is ok. Look at John 2:13-15, "The Passover of the Jews was near, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem. And He found in the temple those who were selling oxen and sheep and doves, and the money changers seated at their tables. And ''He made a scourge of cords, and drove them all out of the temple'', with the sheep and the oxen; and He poured out the coins of the money changers and overturned their tables;"

:::Maybe Jesus was angry here and if so He definitely was justified in being so. I didn't look at these people's negative comments on Cyde's talk page, but they may have been justified. [[User:Scifiintel|Scifiintel]] 05:37, 7 January 2007 (UTC)


Just keep in mind that our best testimony for Christ is a changed heart, one which responds in a way the world cannot understand. The world expects you to be angry about something like this; yet the only times Jesus was angry was when His Father's temple was being mocked as a marketplace. Remember that the WP:CANVAS guideline was put in place, not to squelch Christian thought or action, but to keep userpages clear for ''solicited'' messages and communication. Was Christ angry about what happened? I don't think so. I think that getting people organized for such a thing is a good idea; you weren't aware of the Wiki policy, and that's fine. But Jesus also said "render to Caesar the things that are Caesar's, and to God the things that are God's." ([http://www.gnpcb.org/esv/search/?q=Matthew+22%3A21 Matthew 22:21]) We're to follow the laws of the land which don't go against our faith. This one, in my opinion, does not. I think you were right to want to keep an eye on the Jesus article, but maybe you could set up a list of people who wanted to be contacted in this situation, or create a Wikiproject about it. There's no reason that this needs to be a big deal- remember, the big thing is about spreading His glory, not winning an argument or even keeping /wiki/Jesus updated well. I hope you take this message in the spirit which it was given. I'm not attacking you personally-I just wanted to give you something to think about.

In the love of Him whose name will forever be glorified,

Hi, Scifiintel, I'm questioning the "Plagiarism" statement you put into this article; see the discussion page there. I suggest that you either back it up properly (with verifiable sources, and higher precision level), or that we gently remove it. I am not saying that your statement is incorrect, but, again, we need verifiable information. [[User:Slavatrudu|Slavatrudu]] 12:49, 29 April 2007 (UTC)

:You're right, I can't find any evidence that there is [[plagiarism]] in [[North Korea]], although it wouldn't surprise me at all considering that it's surrounding neighbors have an identified problem with plagiarism. It is probably because the country is so closed that we don't hear of the plagiarism outside of it. Their communist so they have extremely tight control of the media.

==Speedy deletion of [[:Cat poison]]==
A tag has been placed on [[:Cat poison]] requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under [[WP:CSD#A1|section A1 of the criteria for speedy deletion]], because it is a very short article providing little or no context to the reader. Please see [[Wikipedia:Stub#Essential information about stubs|Wikipedia:Stub]] for our minimum information standards for short articles.

==Bible==
What exactly do you mean by biased? The Bible is full of passages and stories that contradict each other as well as hundreds of fantastical stories that could only have really happened in a Disney movie. [[The People's History of the United States]] is a far more accurate book if you want one example. There is nothing in the Bible that warrants it to be considered anything other than a second-rate piece of fiction from many years ago. It's garbage. All the best.

:You don't have time to go through all of these, give me a break. You just know that the Bible is a flawed book full of lies, contradictions, and immorality. Good luck buddy. [[User:Magicbullet5|MagicBullet5]] ([[User talk:Magicbullet5|talk]]) 22:30, 29 May 2008 (UTC)

:Look, I know that you want to get along with your day. Here's the last question that I want for you to answer me: do you believe that every word of the Bible is the pure, flawless, unadulterated truth? Thanks.

==The Bible is Truth?==
:So you believe that the Bible is the absolute truth. Tell me what you think about these Bible quotes:
*When a man strikes his male or female slave with a rod so hard that the slave dies under his hand, he shall be punished. If, however, the slave survives for a day or two, he is not to be punished, since the slave is his own property.
(Exodus 21:20-21 NAB)
*Slaves, obey your earthly masters with deep respect and fear. Serve them sincerely as you would serve Christ.
(Ephesians 6:5 NLT)

*:But God said that slavery is A OK. Isn't outlawing it going against his word? [[User:Magicbullet5|MagicBullet5]] ([[User talk:Magicbullet5|talk]]) 14:44, 30 May 2008 (UTC)

*:Do you agree with these quotes?
*All who curse their father or mother must be put to death. They are guilty of a capital offense. (Leviticus 20:9 NLT)
*If a man commits adultery with another man's wife, both the man and the woman must be put to death. (Leviticus 20:10 NLT)
*Anyone arrogant enough to reject the verdict of the judge or of the priest who represents the LORD your God must be put to death. Such evil must be purged from Israel. (Deuteronomy 17:12 NLT)

== I like your interest in Japan. ==

I've talked to a few Japanese about Japan, but they seemed reluctant to open up. What do you think about Japan, its culture..... I'm fascinated by their conformity and the way the "nail that sticks up is hammered down." It's also interesting in light of Thailand, which is also Asian, but the people there seem to have such an incredible belief of self. I wonder what has caused the mindsets of the people in these two countries to be so different. What do you think? [[User:Scifiintel|Scifiintel]] ([[User talk:Scifiintel|talk]]) 02:18, 2 October 2008 (UTC)
:In my experience, the Japanese only make an effort to conform to the perceived mores or rules of the group that they happen to be participating within at any given moment. Outside of that, they are as individualistic and self-aware as anyone else in any other country, although they aren't as open about it in public as some other societies, like, for example, Americans. Each culture in east Asia is almost completely different from the others. If you try to compare, for example, Korean (where I lived for one year) culture with Japanese, you're not going to find that many similarities, although there are some, such as the [[Confucius]]-inspired philosophy of an individual's responsibility and duty to family. Of all the different cultures in East Asia, I think the two most different from each other are the Philippines and Japan. [[User:Cla68|Cla68]] ([[User talk:Cla68|talk]]) 04:06, 3 October 2008 (UTC)
::Sorry for the delayed response. The problem with trying to define the differences between two cultures is that one may end up making generalizations, and generalizations about a group of people are dangerous, because there are always so many exceptions. If I can think of some "safe" generalizations to state publicly, I'll make them here at a later time. [[User:Cla68|Cla68]] ([[User talk:Cla68|talk]]) 06:59, 20 October 2008 (UTC)

==Nativity of Jesus==
Scifiintel, would you mind commenting on a content dispute at [[Nativity of Jesus]]. It concerns a table comparing the accounts of Matthew and Luke. There are concerns over the use of primary sources, OR, novel synthesis, lack of explanation/context which would be afforded by prose, and even its necessity, given the section "The nativity as myth". The table can be seen at this version of the page: [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Nativity_of_Jesus&oldid=268677530] at section 1.3, "The narratives compared". Discussion on the issue can be found at [[Talk:Nativity of Jesus]], in the threads "The two narratives compared", "The two narratives compared, part 2", and at "Task List (January 15, 2009)". Your input on the issue would be ''greatly'' appreciated, as very few persons have commented on it. Thanks.

==[[Barack Obama]]==
Edits such as you made at [[Barack Obama]] ''must'' be discussed on the article's Talk page prior to being done. The article is under special protection due to repeated vandalism and edit warring. [[User:Everard Proudfoot|Everard Proudfoot]] ([[User talk:Everard Proudfoot|talk]]) 01:34, 25 May 2010 (UTC)
:Please explain your deletions from that article either as an edit summary or, preferably, on that article's talk page. [[User:SMP0328.|SMP0328.]] ([[User talk:SMP0328.|talk]]) 01:47, 25 May 2010 (UTC)
:::My most recent new edits to Obama removed "red" dead link or "red" dead info boxes... that wasn't my opinion, that's fact. [[User:Scifiintel|Scifiintel]] ([[User talk:Scifiintel#top|talk]]) 01:53, 25 May 2010 (UTC)

==[[Jesus]]==
Your edits at [[Jesus]] are problematic, as well. Why would you possibly remove the semi-protected notice from a semi-protected page? Why did you remove the edit notice? Why did you remove the sections on Jesus in other cultures? [[User:Everard Proudfoot|Everard Proudfoot]] ([[User talk:Everard Proudfoot|talk]]) 01:37, 25 May 2010 (UTC) I'll answer your questions with a question, why specifically do you believe each of my edits are not valid? [[User:Scifiintel|Scifiintel]] ([[User talk:Scifiintel#top|talk]]) 01:39, 25 May 2010 (UTC)

For one thing, you're making this rather drastic edits without any kind of edit summary. Why are you removing the edit notices? Why did you remove "Portal box|Chicago|Hawaii|Biography|African American" from the Obama article? Why did you make the edits you made on Jesus? [[User:Everard Proudfoot|Everard Proudfoot]] ([[User talk:Everard Proudfoot|talk]]) 01:42, 25 May 2010 (UTC)

And now you've removed more information from the Obama article, again without an explanation. I'm really close to reporting you at ANI unless you can give me a reasonable explanation. [[User:Everard Proudfoot|Everard Proudfoot]] ([[User talk:Everard Proudfoot|talk]]) 01:45, 25 May 2010 (UTC)

Because they make the article's better. I think by edit notices you mean comments.... I removed them because they are distracting, and clutter the article source while not adding to it. The Portals looked ugly, tacky, and out of place, and if you look at it I think you'll agree. The Jesus edits are to improve the article, especially by making it more consistent, and removing irrelevant content. Would you please revert your edits... BTW, my new edits to Obama removed dead link or info boxes that were ugly and clearly shouldn't have been there. Thanks. [[User:Scifiintel|Scifiintel]] ([[User talk:Scifiintel#top|talk]]) 01:47, 25 May 2010 (UTC)
::Your opinion. And now I see that you have been reverted again. You really must get consensus on the Talk page prior to your edits. The Obama article is on probation. Problematic edits ''will'' get you blocked from editing. [[User:Everard Proudfoot|Everard Proudfoot]] ([[User talk:Everard Proudfoot|talk]]) 01:49, 25 May 2010 (UTC)
