JW article

Hi. You have made a number of changes to the JW article. Many of these changes are POV, and against established guidelines on the JW Project page. For example, the article should not include expressions such as "in accord with Luke 10:1-22", as this is providing an interpretation of scripture as though it is the only valid application. It is not the purpose of this article to provide scriptures or any other argumentation that is intended to convince readers that JW teachings are right (or wrong). Also, the article should avoid JW jargon, and should not water down doctrines to appear more friendly to non-believers.--Jeffro77 (talk) 13:44, 27 December 2008 (UTC)

-Thank you. I will keep that in mind. Thanks for keeping my other edits in tact. I like some of the edits you made as well.Corjay (talk) 23:34, 27 December 2008 (UTC)

Battle of Beth Horon

Greetings, Corjay! I believe this whole thing began when User:Greyshark09 moved "Battle of Beth Horon" to "Battle of Beth Horon (166 BCE)". That left the question of where to send the "Battle of Beth Horon - Redirect". "(66)" or "(166 BCE)". It was ultimately a choice between going with the numbers OR fixing a large number of pages that would have been adversely affected by a redirect to "(66)". The rationale is stated at User talk:Greyshark09#Battle of Beth Horon redirect. Grayshark09, the creator of the redirect, agreed. I hope you will, too. If not, please discuss before changing. Kind regards, --@Efrat (talk) 04:19, 18 July 2013 (UTC)

It's fixed now, thanks. :) Though, I don't know if it's fixed for any pages with a box for the 66 CE battle. ;P Sorry if I seemed a little uppity earlier. It was a legitimate concern that seemed to be disregarded at that moment, but then I discovered someone was already fixing the problem. --Corjay (talk) 04:23, 18 July 2013 (UTC)

No need to fix any pages linking to "(66)". They all already had discrete "Battle of Beth Horon (66)" links. When changing a redirect, rememeber to check "What links here" on both the original target of the redirect and the new target of the rediriect. It is then your responsibility to fix all affected pages. If you ever find a compelling reason to change a redirect and you can argue the case for such a change, go ahead and make the change. Keep in mind, though, that it is then your responsibility to fix all of the affected pages which link to that redirect. Kind regards, --@Efrat (talk) 04:48, 18 July 2013 (UTC)

DR

Per a suggestion at ANi I opened this == Hello! There is a DR/N request you may have interest in. ==

This message is being sent to let you know of a discussion at the Misplaced Pages:Dispute resolution noticeboard regarding a content dispute discussion you may have participated in. Content disputes can hold up article development and make editing difficult for editors. You are not required to participate, but you are both invited and encouraged to help find a resolution. Please join us to help form a consensus. Thank you! Hell In A Bucket (talk) 12:54, 18 July 2013 (UTC)

I found not such dispute listed on that page. --Corjay (talk) 13:11, 18 July 2013 (UTC)

Not sure why it didn't list but here's the direct link ] Hell In A Bucket (talk) 13:12, 18 July 2013 (UTC)

Your recent edits

Hello and welcome to Misplaced Pages. When you add content to talk pages and Misplaced Pages pages that have open discussion (but never when editing articles), please be sure to sign your posts. There are two ways to do this. Either:

1. Add four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment; or
2. With the cursor positioned at the end of your comment, click on the signature button ( or ) located above the edit window.

This will automatically insert a signature with your username or IP address and the time you posted the comment. This information is necessary to allow other editors to easily see who wrote what and when.

Thank you. --SineBot (talk) 16:32, 18 July 2013 (UTC)

BLP warning

Please stop adding unreferenced or poorly referenced biographical content, especially if controversial, to articles or any other Misplaced Pages page. Content of this nature could be regarded as defamatory and is in violation of Misplaced Pages policy. If you continue, you may be blocked from editing Misplaced Pages. Your highly disparaging comments about sociologist Andrew Holden at the Talk:Jehovah's Witnesses page are a clear violation of Misplaced Pages policies on biographies of living people. This policy applies equally to comments on talk pages. Please desist now, and strike out your comments, or you will be reported to administrators and possibly blocked. BlackCab (talk) 09:49, 19 July 2013 (UTC)

That page is not a biography and it is not subject to article guidelines, and I have not asked to include any biographical information on the Jehovah's Witnesses main page. Your warning is invalid and I reject it. Don't make me have to appeal. --Corjay (talk) 10:06, 19 July 2013 (UTC)
