Gene Tierney

...i was just wondering how many 'notable roles' you feel are enough to capture the essence of an actor's work? --emerson7 | Talk 16:58, 4 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

the reason i ask is template:infobox actor kinda discourages letting the list get too long. though clearly no consensus has been arrive at, most seem to think three to four should be the limit. --emerson7 | Talk 20:42, 4 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

keeping in mind that wp is not a book, and that the intent of the infobox in particular is not designed for extended lists, you might want to consider adjusting that to a wee bit lower number. cheers. --emerson7 | Talk 22:08, 4 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

July 2007

Welcome to Wikipedia. It might not have been your intention, but your recent contribution removed content from Gene Tierney. Please be more careful when editing pages and do not remove content from Wikipedia without a good reason, which should be specified in the edit summary. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. If you would like to experiment again, please use the sandbox. Thank you. it might be more help to include a 'proper' citation rather than removing properly placed maintenance tags. emerson7 | Talk 20:12, 1 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Unity

I'm familiar with Rev. Paul, but he very often uses the Bible in service, and I went to his Bible class. It's true that one can go to a Unity service and get little or no reference to the Bible in a talk, but I know of no Unity church that does not utilize the Bible extensively. I attend service weekly at Unity of NYC, and the Bible is very important to the point that the claim of not using the Bible makes no sense. I also teach Sunday school at the church and have given students Bible lessons selected by Gammy Singer. --Scottandrewhutchins 20:06, 27 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I did some cleanups to make it clearer to the general user. --Scottandrewhutchins 20:32, 27 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Gene Tierney speculation

You might want to read WP:VERIFY#Burden of evidence. I've removed the first mention of the speculation, but kept the second in its original section with a ^{[citation needed]} tag attached. If you (or some other editor) can provide a reference, that's fine. Otherwise, after a week or so, I'll have to delete it. Clarityfiend 07:29, 4 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Please do not remove the citation tag unless you replace it with an actual reference, e.g. book, author and page. See WP:CITE. Clarityfiend 18:06, 4 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

New Thought: Please discuss and explain changes you make

It is wikipedia custom to explain one's edits. There is a blank line in the edit window for this purpose. Please explain what changes you are making and why you are making them with each edit. This helps the other editors understand what you want to see on the page.

You have been going through the New Thought article very quickly, deleting certain words every time you see them, with no explanation. This is not in the best interests of the article or of a cordial relationship with other editors.

Please post your ideas to the New Thought disussion page so that editors can reach a consesnsus.

Thanks. cat Catherineyronwode 05:47, 20 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, please source, and when needed discuss, the changes you make to the article. We have no way to verify your credentials, so we can't just accept what you say. ——Martin^phi_{(Talk Ψ Contribs)} 02:35, 6 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I didn't look at those pages, but no matter what they say, there is just no way to verify identity on Wikipedia. Even if there were, expertise would not be enough, but only sources. No one here wants to drive away expertise, but I admit I've heard the complaint that that happens. It's just that we have a hard and fast rule that things have to be sourced or deleted. The rule sometimes works slowly, but it does work. On the page in question, I'm in the process of eliminating everything that does not have a source, so putting new unsourced material in the article only means eventual deletion anyway. ——Martin^phi_{(Talk Ψ Contribs)} 04:02, 6 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Faith Healing page

Hi,

Thanks for your compliments on my work on the faith healing page. Your nice note encouraged me to go back and look at the page again and i have done even more with it. I have taken out all of the spurious linakges to the medical fraud practice of psychic surgery, re-arranged the "belief systems" sub-heads, and added some material on the Catholic aspects of faith haling (i am not a Catholic, but i felt the article would benefit from some better information regarding Catholic forms of faith haling). So take another look, and please comment on the page's own talk page if you think we need to do more work on it. Thanks! cat Catherineyronwode 20:16, 20 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Unity Church edit war - check

are you editing from IP addresses 24.215.255.192, 66.108.111.91 and 151.202.182.100, or is that someone else? --Alvestrand 21:32, 24 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I use my JGG59.JGG59 21:39, 24 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks - the reason I asked was that one of the IP-based participants signed one of his notes with "JGG" [1] - that name belongs to an active user, but not one who's active on Unity Church. --Alvestrand 06:17, 25 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
