[edit] Maytag Blue Cheese

I am have added some new information to this page and I have seen that you have commented before on it. Can you leave some feedback as to further develop this page. Thanks.

CyJack15 (talk) 21:54, 4 April 2008 (UTC)

I will leave the Project Tags but the assessment as a stub i think is no longer viable. I think the article is more developed than just a stub.

[edit] Re: Why have you deleted...

User pages use a subpage structure (see Wikipedia:Subpages). The software only recognizes subpages as pages following a / in certain namespaces. (Which is why things like talk page archives are always /Archive_1, /Archive_2, etc.) Thus, your page wasn't in your user space, but was in fact floating in the user namespace. The page has been restored to User:HeartofaDog/Spare templates. Cheers. --MZMcBride (talk) 21:11, 10 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Wilhering Abbey

Dear Sir, I am sorry, but I have no idea, what should be wrong with my article on "Wilhering Abbey". I am an inexperienced Wikipedian. If you cannot give me exact instructions how to edit an article, I must stop bothering about the matter. Thanks. 193.171.131.230 (talk) 14:10, 3 May 2008 (UTC)193.171.131.230 (talk) 12:58, 3 May 2008 (UTC)Refoh (talk) 12:49, 3 May 2008 (UTC)

Thank you very much for your answer and for your offer to help me with the tough job of editing an article in Wikipedia. I don’t want the abbey to host my article on its website, since it is in German only. I think, the first paragraph (“The Order”) is quite necessary, since an institution like a monastery cannot really be understood without its history in the context of the order it belongs to. I would be very grateful, if you were so kind as to help me. I don’t mind, if you integrate the article into the existing one in Wikipedia, or you place it on a website external to Wikipedia, or anything else. User: RHaworth gave me some good advice, but leaves the edition to me. If you are really so kind as to do that for me, I will be very glad and thankful. You can take the article from the German Wikipedia website under the entry “Benutzer: Refoh/Wilhering Abbey – Wikipedia”. Just leave out the name of the author (me) and the subtitle (“A Short Guide”), if necessary, and add the following list of sources. Here is the list of sources: Rudolf Guby, Das Zisterzienserstift Wilhering in Oberösterreich, Österreichische Kunstführer Bd. 4, Wien o. J. (1920) Amadeus Reisinger, Stift Wilhering/Donau, München 1939 Louis J. Lekai, The Cistercians, Ideals and Reality, The Kent University Press Dallas 1977 Zisterzienserstift Wilhering, Hg., Wilhering, Stift und Kirche, Wilhering 1983. Will you send me a note, please? Thank you and best wishes. Refoh (talk) 07:19, 8 May 2008 (UTC)Refoh (talk) 06:46, 9 May 2008 (UTC)

Dear Sir, Thank you a lot for your help. If you don't agree with the long paragraph on the Order you could perhaps take this shortend remark to the Order as Paragraph 1. I stripped the article on the Order down to a minimum. But I leave the decision to you. Thank you once again. I. An introductory remark to the Order Wilhering Abbey near Linz in Upper Austria belongs to the monastic order of the Cistercians. This name is taken from Cîteaux in eastern France, where a monastery was founded in 1098. In 1112 Bernard and some thirty companions joined the abbey of Cîteaux; three years later he became abbot of the new foundation at Clairvaux. Due to Bernard’s international reputation the order spread rapidly throughout Europe. More than 500 abbeys were founded by the end of the 12th century, and another 150 in the following century. Unfortunately the order lost approximately 460 monasteries during the Reformation, and in the Age of Enlightenment, when the Austrian Emperor Joseph II (1780-1790) dissolved 700 monasteries, among them twelve Cistercian abbeys. In spite of that, the number of vocations increased again after the Second World War – a trend that no longer continues in Europe. In keeping with the times the old monastic orders looked for new chances to engage in such Church activities as missionary work and education, as did the Cistercians.

Hi HeartofaDog! I hope it worked this time. If so, I'd like to thank you very much for your help. Should you travel ot Austria one day, please pay a visit to Wilhering and ask for Father Karl. You'll be my guest. Thank you. Refoh (talk) 08:08, 21 May 2008 (UTC)

Hi HeartofaDog!Once again! Thank you for reading my scribblings. As for the quotgation number 6 I inserted "quotation from Guby, p. 14, translated" I don't know more. And as for the reference number 3, where it says "citation deeded" I dont know how to insert it. Could you do that for me, please. "Zisterzienserstift Wilhering (ed.), p. 27." I don't know how to insert an "inline citation": Sorry. Best wishes and many thanks. Refoh (talk) 13:58, 23 May 2008 (UTC)

Hi HeartofaDog! Thank you once more. I feel nearly ashamed, because you must think I am taking advantage of your kindness. But I don't mean it, believe me. Best wishes! Refoh (talk) 06:25, 24 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] AfD nomination of List of Christian religious houses in Belgium

I have nominated List of Christian religious houses in Belgium, an article you created, for deletion. I do not feel that this article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and have explained why at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of Christian religious houses in Belgium. Your opinions on the matter are welcome at that same discussion page; also, you are welcome to edit the article to address these concerns. Thank you for your time. Do you want to opt out of receiving this notice? LegoTech·(t)·(c) 04:52, 13 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Keizersberg Abbey

Just been tinkering with your additions to Keizersberg Abbey. There still is some sort of liturgical study centre there, but I don't know anything about it (yet). I've added another Belgian monastery stub (Munsterbilzen Abbey), and will try to get some more done next week. --Paularblaster (talk) 22:45, 21 May 2008 (UTC)


[edit] Danish monasteries

I appreciate the list of monastic houses in Denmark. There isn't much available on many of them. I would appreciate some help with terminology for the monastic houses I have been working on. I have been using Danish sources and for the most part, the words translate directly to English counterparts. Many of the houses in Denmark had English, French, and German roots, so I would expect the Here are some questions I have had as I add articles:

Can I use abbey, monastery, house interchangeably?

Are nunnery and convent interchangeable?

How are an abbot and a prior different?

Are the terms mother house and daughter house the best available to describe a relationship between monasteries?

Are there another terms for a monk's habit (clothing)?

Thanks for your help. I'll keep an eye out for additonal houses. I found one for Schleswig.Giljuna (talk) 05:12, 1 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Roskilde Abbey / Priory / Friary

I need your help again. I clicked on the Roskilde Abbey link on your Danish monasteries page and wrote an article there. When it was complete I realized it was under the wrong title, so in my haste to correct it, I moved it to Roskilde Friary, and then realized it should have been written under St Catharine's Priory. I tried to 'move' it again and now it I am afraid I have messed up your Sjaelland (Denmark) monasteries section and don't know how to fix the mess. If you could help straighten it out, I would be grateful and be more careful in the future. I apologize profusely Giljuna (talk) 04:15, 10 June 2008 (UTC)
