You seem to be changing a lot of instances of Jesus Christ to Jesus of Nazareth with the comment "removing pov". In many cases I agree that the encyclopedically neutral thing is to refer to Jesus with a term that does not imply a claim about whether he was Christ or not. However, there are several places where I think you're a bit too quick. In particular, in sentences that explicitly describe a religious dogma held by certain, it is not inherently POV to use the same phrasing as those who subscribe to the dogma would. For example, a reference to "the second coming of Jesus Christ" becomes nonsense when rewritten to "the second coming of Jesus of Nazareth". The idea of expecting a second coming at all depends on the idea of Jesus holding the office (so-to-say) of Christ, so it is not an accurate rendering of the dogma to describe it as a second coming of Jesus-whether-or-not-he-was-or-is-Christ. I'm not asking you to stop changing "Christ" to "of Nazareth" in sentences that make sense irrespective of the metaphysical status of Jesus, but I don't think this change is appropriate in sentences whose subject is not so much the historical Jesus as the religious concept of the resurrected-and-still-somehow-existing-Son-of-God. Especially in cases where the statement is clearly attributed as a description of a religious view rather than an encyclopedic truth in its own right. –Henning Makholm 22:35, 13 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

You may use external websites as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously, and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.
If you believe that the article is not a copyright violation, or if you have permission from the copyright holder to release the content freely under the GNU Free Documentation License (GFDL) then you should do one of the following:

• If you have permission from the author leave a message explaining the details on the article Talk page and send an email with the message to "permissions-en (at) wikimedia (dot) org". See Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission for instructions.
• If a note on the original website states that re-use is permitted under the GFDL or released into the public domain leave a note at Talk:Boaz in Rabbinic Literature with a link to where we can find that note;
• If you own the copyright to the material: send an e-mail from an address associated with the original publication to permissions-en(at)wikimedia(dot)org or a postal message to the Wikimedia Foundation permitting re-use under the GFDL, and note that you have done so on the article Talk page. Alternatively, you may create a note on your web page releasing the work under the GFDL and then leave a note at Talk:Boaz in Rabbinic Literature with a link to the details.

Otherwise, you are encouraged to rewrite this article in your own words to avoid any copyright infringement. After you do so, you should place a {{hangon}} tag on the article page and leave a note at Talk:Boaz in Rabbinic Literature saying you have done so. An administrator will review the new content before taking action.

It is also important that all Wikipedia articles have an encyclopedic tone and follow Wikipedia article layout. For more information on Wikipedia's policies, see Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

Hi. I got your note. I didn't hit the front page of the website, and relied on the footer of the page which has a copyright notice. Please accept my apologies for mistakenly tagging the article as a copyvio. Regards. -- Whpq 16:44, 18 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I have tagged several fairy chess piece articles you created as possible copyright infringements. They are listed at Wikipedia:Copyright_problems#19_May_2007. Please study carefully what the message (visible, for example, at the camel article) says and take an appropriate action if you so choose. Otherwise the articles will be deleted. --ZeroOne (talk | @) 23:24, 19 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Java7837: Congratulations on your herculian work with Judaism-related articles! I have just spent a lot of time WP:WIKIFYing all the articles (11 of them as of this message) in Category:Biblical characters in rabbinic literature. You did an excellent job of extracting material from the {{Jewish Encyclopedia}} but I had to neaten up a lot of stuff, including the category, which is now a sub-category of Category:Rabbinic literature. Please take a look at what I have done and the WP:STYLE I have tried to add to them. Feel free to contact me. IZAK 06:48, 21 May 2007 (UTC) [reply]

I tagged your template for deletion, for obvious reasons. —Gaff ^{ταλκ} 06:35, 28 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hey, I saw your new image on the Judaism file. In my opinion the ad is not clear and may contain a fair use/non-free image. For copyright safety reasons, I will make a new one. Real96 10:34, 28 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Dont threaten me. I removed one incredibly pov-sentence asserting that the Qur'an is wrong. Your decision to re-add that sentence speaks volumes. Perspicacite 00:21, 29 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I don't see the reason for creating a copy of the skydiving userbox? If you have some code to improve the existing one, I suggest you edit the User:UBX/Skydiving template. Thanks. Superdix 08:59, 9 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
