[edit] Thank you for your help

I wish to thank you for your help on the Thermal death time. It earned a DYK yesterday. I really appreciate it. Chris 14:31, 7 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Anti-Arabism

I noticed you made a large, contentious change to this article without an informative edit summary and without discussing it. Could you please join the discussion on the talk page to explain your changes? Amaliq (talk) 02:55, 19 December 2007 (UTC)

Talk page updated. - CheshireKatz (talk)

Thanks for your note. Regarding the Anti-Arabism article, I'm not really familiar with the current contents or disputes. I'll monitor it administratively to ensure, for example, that banned editors don't continue to edit there, and I'll try to keep an eye if edit wars break out, but other than that I'd prefer not to get involved. I'm sorry I can't be of more help. Jayjg ^(talk) 00:38, 27 December 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for your understanding. I noticed you've been adding references sourced to "The Jewish News Weekly of Northern California". In reality, that's j. - you might want to add the proper link to the references. Jayjg ^(talk) 03:14, 28 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Ron Paul Blimp

Hi, yes that information is on the Ron Paul Revolution page but currently that page is up for deleation, as well the $200,000 dollars from supporters goes nicely between campain finance and the moneybomb section. So I am putting it back. If the Ron Paul Revolution page stays it may be OK to delete it, then. Thanks,--Duchamps comb (talk) 19:51, 26 December 2007 (UTC)

Ah, thanks for the heads up. I hadn't noticed that. In that case I don't see a problem with resigning it to the Ron Paul presidential campaign, 2008 page until the deletion debate has been resolved. I wouldn't consider its acquisition particularly significant to his career as a whole, but definitely noteworthy in respect to his campaign. The goal as I mentioned on the talk page is to compress the section down to a few paragraphs. - CheshireKatz (talk) 19:58, 26 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Abe Foxman

Hi CheshireKatz-

I disagree with your reversion of my edit on the page re: Abe Foxman (I have no idea how to link stuff--sorry.)

What about using "killed" in place of murdered? That may satisfy everyone.

Looks good. Thanks. --Nyarf (talk) 03:05, 9 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Renaming an article

Hi, I love your nick and I like your idea of renaming Persecution of early Christians by the Jews into Depictions of Jews persecuting Christians in the New Testament. Let's file WP:RM. Please LMK if you need help. ←Humus sapiens ^ну? 22:40, 20 December 2007 (UTC)

Thanks any help will be appreciated. Also take a look at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Historical persecution by Jews (2nd nomination). :D - CheshireKatz (talk) 16:09, 21 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Renaming article

Hi, Cheshire. I wanted to share some thoughts with you on how to gain consensus on renaming the article Persecution of early Christians by the Jews‎. Perhaps you and I can agree upon a short list of two or three good alternatives and then work with editors such as Richard in order to form consensus.

Let me know if you're interested -- you can post your reply here so we can keep the discussion on one page. Cheers, Majoreditor (talk) 19:56, 2 January 2008 (UTC)

Thanks, that sounds great. I reevaluated my move request after thinking about Richard's argument against my initial proposal. The article arose when the Early Christian Persecution section of Persecution of Christians (primarily covering alleged acts by Romans & Israelites in the NT) got too unmanageable. The editors opted to resolve this by splitting the section into two subpages based upon the persecutors, Persecution of early Christians by the Jews & Persecution of early Christians by the Romans.

I think that's where the initial problem occurred. Instead of dividing the section based upon the alleged persecutors, it probably ought to have been divided based upon something less controversial, such as the sources. The Persecution of early Christians by the Romans is now largely a well-sourced historical account of the history of Christian treatment within the Roman Empire with only a handful of items sourced from Christian texts. By contrast the Persecution of early Christians by the Jews is almost entirely sourced in Christian texts and includes few reliable, published secondary sources other than those that deal with the historicity of Christian texts. This is why I think the articles can be nicely parsed into Early Christian persecution in the Roman Empire and Early Christian persecution in the New Testament, since they cover overlapping eras, but contain very different depictions.

Do you have alternative suggestion on wording and/or division of article content? I have to say that conversation has substantially died down since the move request was revised and, despite The Evil Spartan's revert (which I suspect might've been a bit reactionary), no opposition has been voiced, which I'm still tempted to interpret as silent acquiescence. - CheshireKatz (talk) 20:58, 3 January 2008 (UTC)

I'm formulating some alternatives for article wording and will think about content division/combination possibilities. I'm optimistic we can come up with something that will work. I've got some off-wiki commitments tomorrow but will serve them up to you this weekend so we can bounce around ideas. Cheers, Majoreditor (talk) 02:38, 4 January 2008 (UTC)

Wow. Looks as if you and Richard have worked through the issues and hammered together a proposal. That's great; I think we can use it to reach consensus. Majoreditor (talk) 06:21, 5 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Category:Christian companies

Hi CheshireKatz - In November you pointed out need for a cope note on Category:Christian companies, and I just proposed that we rename it to make your point explicit. Your comments and suggestions on the CFD (1/8) would be welcome. --Lquilter (talk) 01:49, 8 January 2008 (UTC)
