Salutations!

Ello there, Pretty and plusgood user page you've got here, by-the-way. (= Mmm, here's a rose from one of the articles I've made myself.. DrWho42 03:11, 26 June 2006 (UTC)

Thanks! I'm gonna expand my user page, though. :o) Antique Rose 04:42, 26 June 2006 (UTC)

Hi Rose: Thanks for the welcome message; are you a bot, or a real live flower? Best regards, Gene Keyes Esperanto41 03:17, 31 March 2007 (UTC)

Hello, Gene! No, I'm not a bot. I am a real life flower, a really delicate one. Antique Rose 13:50, 31 March 2007 (UTC)

Test?

Thank you for experimenting with Wikipedia. Your test worked, and it has been reverted or removed. Please use the sandbox for any other tests you may want to do. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to our encyclopedia. Antique Rose 03:27, 22 April 2007 (UTC)

umm, what test was this?--131.111.202.17 11:36, 22 April 2007 (UTC)

Hosiery picture

I'd rather go with the other picture ... "hosiery" is about more than women's stockings. It's a sexy picture but it's unique to a particular garment, while the other one suggested all the garments in the category (which include socks). Daniel Case 20:56, 30 April 2007 (UTC)

Very well! :) But isn't there a better image which shows stockings/hosiery when worn? Antique Rose 21:02, 30 April 2007 (UTC)

I didn't think it was necessary to show hosiery being worn for people to recognize it. I suppose I could have taken some of my wife's pantyhose and added some unworn socks of my own, but I didn't think I could equal the aesthetic qualities of the Flickr image.

For now I've decided to keep the pic you put in, though (but I stil think it's a little too in-your-face sexy for a navbox. What I liked about the image I used in {{lingerie}} was that it suggests everything about lingerie without immediately being identifiable as a specific article of lingerie ... ditto with the pantyhose-off picture). But I think that if we ever have a separate hosiery brands navbox (always a possibility), we should use that one there. Daniel Case 00:06, 2 May 2007 (UTC)

Daniel Case 00:10, 2 May 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for the invitation! I've signed up. Antique Rose 01:01, 2 May 2007 (UTC)

Thank you

Thanks for your welcome. Wikipedia does seeom to have a vibrant (i.e. fights like cats and dogs) community. I'm looking forward to taking part in it. I'm off to find some things to gnomify now... --Archaro 22:40, 25 May 2007 (UTC)

Nice! Good luck gnoming! Antique Rose 22:42, 25 May 2007 (UTC)

Oh, as an interesting example of synchronicity, I love roses and Latin (rosa rosa rosa est est). The garden of the house of my youth (I think there's a book in there somewhere) was filled with roses of many varieties, antique and modern. Sadly, I no longer live in a house with a rose garden. One day, though... —Preceding unsigned comment added by Archaro (talk • contribs)

Maybe, some day, we will find ourselves in a garden full of roses that will never wither... Antique Rose 23:16, 25 May 2007 (UTC)

Curious question

Thank you for your welcome. Wikipedia is HUGE! Anyways, I need to ask you a question, if it's okay. Is it possible to change your username?--Hanpingz 23:03, 6 June 2007 (UTC)

Hi, Hanpingz! Do you mean usernames in general or my username? Antique Rose 23:08, 6 June 2007 (UTC)

I mean in general. You sure get back to people quickly. In addition, how do you put images in your main user page? --Hanpingz 23:13, 6 June 2007 (UTC)

OK, thanks! One of Wikipedia's bureaucrats may help you with that. As for images, you must use the image markup described here. Good luck! Antique Rose 23:19, 6 June 2007 (UTC)

OK! Thank you for all your help!--PingZ. 23:32, 6 June 2007 (UTC)

Thanks

Thanks for catching the vandalism on Arlo Guthrie. :) Lewis Collard! (natter) 18:52, 10 June 2007 (UTC)

You're welcome! I'm always happy to combat scribble and vandalism. Antique Rose 07:59, 11 June 2007 (UTC)

Tips for fighting vandalism

Speaking of vandalism, I noticed you reverted some on Spartan-James's userpage. Please also consider warning vandals with {{uw-vand1}} {{uw-vand2}} {{uw-vand3}} {{uw-vand4}} and {{uw-vand4im}}. You can also report them to admins at the AIV. Hope it helps! Cheers, JetLover ^(talk) 23:22, 26 July 2007 (UTC)

Thanks a lot! These templates may come in handy. Antique Rose 17:26, 27 July 2007 (UTC)

WikiProject Fashion article on Andrew Saul

Just a heads up that Andrew Saul (ex-CEO of Cache and Brooks Bros.) has been nominated for featured article status here. Any input, comment and suggestions would be greatly appreciated, there is not that much info on him as it relates to the fashion industry, and being an !expert, I'm not quite sure how well I can flesh it out. Please feel free to comment and/or improve the article. Thanks! MrPrada 21:16, 25 August 2007 (UTC)

OK. Thanks! Antique Rose 21:27, 25 August 2007 (UTC)

Heinrich Himmler

Given Che Guevara's actions at La Cabana prison I feel that mentioning him in the same light as Heinrich Himmler is not "nonsense." —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.188.118.69 (talk) 07:16, 18 January 2008 (UTC)

IMO such comparisons are POV. You can't create a reliable and trustworthy encyclopedia based on "feelings". Heinrich Himmler was responsible for millions of lives. I fail to see how one can compare this with the acts of Che Guevara. Antique Rose (talk) 08:48, 18 January 2008 (UTC)

Che Guevara was quoted as saying in the London Daily Worker as "Had the missiles (referring to the missiles in Cuba during the Cuban Missile Crisis) remained we would have used them against the very heart of America including New York." This quote is in the very wikipedia article on Che. Using nuclear missiles against America would've undoubtedly taken millions of lives. So in that area there is a legitimate comparison of Che Guevara and Adolf Hitler. That said, I plan on returning to the Himmler article and mentioning Che Guevara. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.188.118.69 (talk) 06:46, 19 January 2008 (UTC)

I noticed I'm not the only one disagreeing with you. Your anti-Che Guevara agenda is quite obvious. Antique Rose (talk) 08:48, 19 January 2008 (UTC)

Posen Speech

I have contacted the administration against your vandalism acts and about jayjg, who must be the same person. Why don´t you contact the admistrator and do the same? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 189.6.238.83 (talk) 18:43, 3 February 2008 (UTC)

Please do not continue with your nazi revisionist edits, thank you! Antique Rose (talk) 19:19, 3 February 2008 (UTC)

You are deleting my contribution, which is an authentic contribution, since it cites documents and its sources. If you desagree with something, you discuss it, add more documents proving the contrary. Why don´t you contact the administrator to see what he thinks about it? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 189.6.238.83 (talk) 19:55, 3 February 2008 (UTC)

Not an "authentic contribution." Nazi propaganda doesn't pass muster as reliable. Please stop. --GoodDamon 23:17, 4 February 2008 (UTC)

Well done to both you and GoodDamon on the sockpuppet report, but I took this to WP:AN/I and all three of the sockpuppet accounts have been blocked and both the article on the Posen speech and Heinrich Himmler have been semi-protected by JzG. AniMate 23:38, 4 February 2008 (UTC)

Thank you! I'm always willing to combat scribble, vandalism and sock puppetry. Antique Rose (talk) 23:42, 4 February 2008 (UTC)

Talk Page

I noticed you reverted some changes on User talk:Qprods where the editor blanked the talk page of warnings with an edit summary of "rvv". I ran into this one time and it was explained to me that it is not vandalism to remove warnings from your own talk pages. From WP:Talk:

Users may freely remove comments from their own talk pages, though archiving is preferred. They may also remove some content in archiving. The removal of a warning is taken as evidence that the warning has been read by the user.

I hope this helps. Jons63 (talk) 12:50, 10 April 2008 (UTC)

It does. Thanks for the information. Antique Rose (talk) 13:10, 10 April 2008 (UTC)

Himmler

Why did you revert "the four-eyes killer"?.... Are you defending him? 190.49.110.14 (talk) 03:09, 26 April 2008 (UTC)

Defending Himmler? Nope. I just don't think that a "nickname" like that belongs in an authoritative encyclopedia. Antique Rose (talk) 03:17, 26 April 2008 (UTC)

Robert Sungenis

Dear Antique Rose. Thank you for your help on the article about Robert Sungenis. This new editor has just come along and reproduced an entire article written for Sungenis verbatim in the body of the wiki article (130.13.217.229 ). He also keeps misstating the documented facts as to what has caused the controversies (it was not about Catholic dogma). And has made many statements that are clear pov and/or original argumentation.

I have a feeling he is not going to stop and be reasonable. I hope I'm wrong. I also noticed the other place he edits is the Heinrich Himmler article.

If he keeps at it, any help you can continue to provide is appreciated.

Thank you.

Official Suggestions

The Lingerie article-could somebody by any chances merge the section right within Hoisery, not mentioning Hoisery should be revamped and updated.

Irish Princes Tombs

Why did you reverse my factual edit of the article at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/San_Pietro_in_Montorio regarding the Irish Princes tombs? The part that I replaced was incorrect. It still is incorrect, now that you reversed my edit.

Elsidders (talk) 17:25, 7 October 2008 (UTC)

My bad! My principal aim was to revert the incorrect image link. I have corrected the information now, though. But I assume that you don't want this image to appear in the article. You need to rename the commons image. Antique Rose (talk) 19:47, 7 October 2008 (UTC)

Ahh! Thank you. I have corrected the image now. Elsidders (talk) 00:07, 8 October 2008 (UTC)

And I made it visible. :) Antique Rose (talk) 00:17, 8 October 2008 (UTC)

Hello, Antique Rose. You have new messages at Od Mishehu's talk page.
You can remove this notice at any time by removing the {{Talkback}} or {{Tb}} template.

Thanks

For your reactivity today. I've lost any hope with this long run vandal. I had many accounts globally blocked yesterday by a Steward as I found quite many during my last IP check - I bet he did not like. Clem23 (talk) 10:39, 22 October 2008 (UTC)

You're welcome! What's wrong with this persistent troll/vandal? Why is he/she acting this way? Antique Rose (talk) 10:47, 22 October 2008 (UTC)

It's a very long story. He used to be a user on fr:wp (and at a lesser extent nl:wp). He has strange behaviour but was able to contribute normally for more than 6 months. Then he was blocked for 2 weeks for heavy trolling and started insulting the sysops (it was mid-2006). The block was extended and he was coming back every day to insult and damage the encyclopedia in many different ways (wrong infos in the articles, fake articles). It became worse in february-march 2007 and since then he never really stopped (proxies, socks, seldom a week passes without a problem). I'm far from being his only target... He has 4-5 blogs also. He is just completely crazy, no other explanation has been found. Clem23 (talk) 10:59, 22 October 2008 (UTC)

Clem, I would strike the uncivil comments that you made above towards a user if I were you, especially considering you are currently in a bit of an altercation with them that has admin attention. Thanks in advance -t BMW c- 11:50, 22 October 2008 (UTC)

Bwilkins, go and read that before talking about what you do not know. He promised many times to cut us into pieces (saying things sofly, I can translate you a few comments if you are still interested) - even Anthere (talk · contribs) had to do something (and was insulted also btw). This guy is completely crazy, I'm always stunned about the average low reactivity on en:wp about him (there are exceptions and very helpful people, fortunately). This guy is not only our problem - he is a global problem for all the project (even though he is doing more harm to fr:wp and nl:wp), sticking to stereotypes (be kind to him even though he is a vandal - with over 400 accounts should I state), closing the eyes or trying to defend him only hampers any efficient reaction. If you have something to tell me do not bother Antique Rose with that, I bet he had enough of MS stories for today. Clem23 (talk) 12:07, 22 October 2008 (UTC)

Thanks

Just wanted to let you know that I whole heartedly agree with your revert on CG in regards to the attempted insertion of blatantly hyperbolic & polemic external links. I'll be on the watch for an IP return and hope you will as well ;o).   Redthoreau (talk)RT 00:18, 27 November 2008 (UTC)

U betcha! :) POV spam has no place in an encyclopedia. Antique Rose (talk) 00:25, 27 November 2008 (UTC)

Listen

Antique Rose, I am discussing this matter ONLY with Kan8eDie, or whatever the username was. Please understand that I know princess gowns exist. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 142.68.38.106 (talk) 23:21, 6 February 2009 (UTC)

So if your edits are correct, it would not be hard to provide us with any authoritative and trustworthy sources. Antique Rose (talk) 23:30, 6 February 2009 (UTC)

The IP changes so quickly that we cannot block effectively; I was hoping to be able to convince her to stop herself. I am sorry for wasting some of your time on this too, but I have finally put in a request for semi-protection, which is the only thing we can really do now. A shame.— Kan8eDie (talk) 23:49, 6 February 2009 (UTC)

Yes, you might call it a shame, but I agree that semi-protection is the only option. Antique Rose (talk) 23:52, 6 February 2009 (UTC)

Forgive me, Antique Rose. I didn't mean to waste your time. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 142.68.38.106 (talk) 00:07, 7 February 2009 (UTC)

Fair enough. You know, I could repeatedly state that I know that purple pigs with ballet skirts and goggles exist in the jungles of Borneo, but I would have a very hard time proving this for a fact. Please read this. Antique Rose (talk) 01:12, 7 February 2009 (UTC)

Pančevo

Would you be so kind to explain why you adding this link to Pančevo article: http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Pan%C4%8Devo&diff=275775606&oldid=275687366 there is no mention of word "Pančevo" anywhere on that page, so how exactly this link would be relevant for this article? 81.18.62.135 (talk) 21:18, 9 March 2009 (UTC)

I don´t know if the link is necessary or helpful, but again you are not telling the truth. Pancevo is mentioned several times in the posted link. See: chapter 4, chapter 5, and chapter 11.--Speidelj (talk) 00:06, 10 March 2009 (UTC)

Thank you for this piece of information. I did not misunderstand after all. :) Pantschowa is mentioned several times. Antique Rose (talk) 00:45, 10 March 2009 (UTC)

I may have misunderstood the whole thing. :S You may remove the external link. Antique Rose (talk) 21:36, 9 March 2009 (UTC)

Hello

I see you haven't voted in the Models.com template deletion discussion, so since you were the first to comment on its need for being first via the talk page, I just thought I'd let you know in case you were interested in voting and just hadn't noticed. A number of points have been made so if you wanted to add your opinion, feel free, although it might get closed or re-listed soon.  Mbinebri  ^{talk ←} 02:28, 11 March 2009 (UTC)

Anorexia

If I am on the verge of becoming anorexic, what should I do? I don't want to be fat but I don't want to worry my family. What should I do? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 142.68.39.251 (talk) 15:45, 22 March 2009 (UTC)

Trinity

There's a distinction to be made between interjecting something that is argumentative as if it was true and everyone agreed upon it, and noting the arguments and/or disagreements among various parties. In the article on the Trinity, in the section on logical coherency, I added a quote from an author, and I quoted it as his point of view. As such, it's not an argumentative point of view in the sense in which you're referring to, but rather an objective fact about one person's or groups' point of view. In other words, quoting someone's argument is not argumentative in the sense in which Wikipedia struggles against.

What I added is, in fact, much less argumentative than the sentences which preceed it- the 4 short opening sentences for instance which are quoted not as someone's opinion but as objective truth.

I'll include the edited section for your referece:

If God has compositional parts, they are either finite or infinite parts. If finite, then God is finite. If infinite, then there are multiple infinities. Each case becomes a denial of monotheism. The belief in compositional parts has been regarded as a heresy since the establishment of the Nicene Creed, and reaffirmed in Protestant Creeds such as the Westminster Confession of Faith and 1689 Baptist Confession of Faith which state "God has no parts."[79] T. Dougherty, however, in a recent work, argues that "compositionism" was the position most commonly adopted by Christians prior to the Arian controversy, and has consistently held sway among common believers. Dougherty argues that the traditional formulation of the doctrine in which each person is thought of as being equal to the whole essence contains a logical impossibility - "like trying to conceive of a 100-page book, each page of which is the entire book." [] In contrast, Louis Berkhof describes the doctrine of the Trinity requiring belief in a "simplex unity" and not a complex (or composite) being. "There is in the Divine Being but one indivisible essence" and "The whole undivided essence of God belongs equally to each of the three persons."[]

If I had simply said "such and such is a logical impossibility" that would be argumentative, but it's a completely different story when you say "so and so believes such and such is a logical impossibility." I'll check back for your response. Thanks. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.158.118.238 (talk) 19:28, 24 March 2009 (UTC)

IMHO your argumentative POV edit aims at ridiculing the belief of millions of people. That does not belong in an encyclopedia. Antique Rose (talk) 16:32, 25 March 2009 (UTC)

Alright dude, I tried to tone it down a little. I myself am a Trinitarian, so no ridicule is intended. Let me know what you think. Also, check out the book that I footnoted if you're interested in the Trinity; it's really good. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.239.44.85 (talk) 01:47, 26 March 2009 (UTC)

I ain't no "dude". I suspected that you weren't serious. Now I know. Antique Rose (talk) 14:17, 26 March 2009 (UTC)

Help Request

I was wondering if you could help me with the article for Robert Sungenis. An editor who has previously been reprimanded and who is also an associate of Robert Sungenis (Mark Wyatt - WyattMJ) has put warning signs that the article may be up for speedy deletion and other warnings. Is this justified? And can he simply put up a warning like that on his own authority? (Or did someone give him permission).

The article is the result of a lot of back and forth and careful research. Although there could be some things that are out of date or whatever. The last time he got involved it was as if Sungenis were writing the article himself. So I could use some direction and help if you would be so kind.

Thank you!

Liam Patrick (talk) 06:57, 9 April 2009 (UTC)

UPDATE - Sungenis' board member has apparently found a couple of sympathetic admins who have complete gutted the article. All the documentation is gone - including documentation from Sungenis' own articles. It's a travesty.

Liam Patrick (talk) 22:27, 9 April 2009 (UTC)

I appreciate your concern regarding this article. I really can't see why it should be deleted. The main thing here is to abide to the policies of BLP and provide the article with reliable and authoritative sources. Antique Rose (talk) 07:47, 10 April 2009 (UTC)

Maximillian Kolbe

www.auschwitz.dk/kolbe.htm

The link above is an Auschwitz site. As a devotee to Saint Kolbe, I have tried to correct the erronious prison number you keep listing for Kolbe. His number was 16770. Please correct this and have a blessed day. 207.108.136.239 (talk) 16:55, 14 April 2009 (UTC)

Hi there! I wish you would have inserted this source when you edited the article. According to this source Kolbe's prisoner number was 16670. I'm sorry that I templated you, as I now see that you acted in good faith.

By the way, I am too a devotee to Saint Maximilian. What a hero of human charity! Antique Rose (talk) 17:26, 14 April 2009 (UTC)

Please don't misuse the rollback function

While this edit was unsourced and involved a fairly obvious conflict of interest, it didn't constitute the sort of obvious vandalism, blatant defamation, etc. that is acceptable to revert using rollback. Moreover, to reverse, without explanation, what was quite likely a good-faith attempt by the subject of a biography to correct an article about herself is just plain rude. Please don't do it again. Erik9 (talk) 05:07, 26 April 2009 (UTC)

Hey! Keep your hair on. :) Keeping WP:BLP in mind, I don't think I'm misusing the rollback function. But if my action was so wrong, how come no one reverted it? And by the way, are you quite sure that Refaeli is Bar Refaeli herself? Anyone can register that account. I don't appreciate you badmouthing me calling me "rude". Whatever happened to Wikipedia:Assume good faith? Antique Rose (talk) 05:36, 26 April 2009 (UTC)

I am well aware of the fact that User:Refaeli might not actually be Bar Refaeli herself, and that the edit cannot be reinstated, because it is unsourced. However, not every edit which should be reversed is, ipso facto, reversable using rollback. Per Wikipedia:Rollback_feature#When_to_use_rollback,

The 'rollback' links provided by Wikipedia's interface provide a standard edit summary of the form "Reverted edits by X to last version by Y". These should be used only to revert edits that are clearly unproductive, such as vandalism; to revert content in your own user space; or to revert edits by banned users. Reversion for other reasons should be accompanied by an explanatory edit summary, and must therefore be done by a different method.

Especially in consideration of the possibility that Refaeli is Bar Refaeli herself, it would have been courteous to provide "an explanatory edit summary" when reverting the edit. Erik9 (talk) 05:46, 26 April 2009 (UTC)

Alternatively, if you insist on using the rollback button whenever reversion is necessary, your rollback privileges may be revoked. Erik9 (talk) 05:51, 26 April 2009 (UTC)

OK, I will keep this in mind. But please respect the talk page guidelines when you're talking to or about me. Calling me "rude" is not in line with Wikipedia user conduct. Assume good faith and do not call people names. Antique Rose (talk) 06:01, 26 April 2009 (UTC)

Band

A band is a group that plays instruments. As that group don't play any instruments, they should not be called a "band". 89.101.46.212 (talk) 12:01, 23 May 2009 (UTC)

Jesus

Please don't revert edits without discussion or explanation. Noloop (talk) 02:29, 7 June 2009 (UTC)

Your edits look like vandalism to me. There is absolutely no consensus for them to be executed. Antique Rose (talk) 02:37, 7 June 2009 (UTC)

I explained and discussed them in Talk. Just because I removed a lot of material doesn't mean I'm vandalizing. As I said in the comment, those are supposed to be summaries that link to a main article. Somebody had basically copied all of the material from main articles into the summaries. For instance, there are two main articles on the Christian view of Jesus, which were linked to at the top of those sections, yet those sections duplicated it extensively. The "summaries" are longer than most articles. I don't really mind if someone reverts it--I sort of expect it. But, it should be someone who has read my explanation on the Talk page, and made an informed choice to disagree with me.Noloop (talk) 02:42, 7 June 2009 (UTC)

I appreciate your enlightening comment. I acted too hastily. I won't revert again. Nevertheless I think you should seek consensus before you make that kind of radical edit. Antique Rose (talk) 03:01, 7 June 2009 (UTC)

Thanks for the edits to the Leighton Meester personal life section. Wanted to inform you that certain vandals keep hitting the personal section in the Sebastian Stan article (ignoring the edit note about sourcing). I'd just appreciate knowing someone else was also keeping an eye on it if it's not too much trouble. Thanks. -- 4.249.87.88 (talk) 22:16, 18 June 2009 (UTC)

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Multinational Force - Iraq. Note that the three-revert rule prohibits making more than three reversions on a single page within a 24 hour period. Additionally, users who perform a large number of reversions in content disputes may be blocked for edit warring, even if they do not technically violate the three-revert rule. If you continue, you may be blocked from editing. Please do not repeatedly revert edits, but use the talk page to work towards wording and content that gains a consensus among editors. If necessary, pursue dispute resolution. I understand that there are reliable sources on both sides of the issue. I am not making a decision on this, but I'm quite sure that this is an edit war over the reliability of sources, and not blatant vandalism. Therefore, WP:EW applies. I suggest you pursue dispute resolution, starting with a discussion on the article talk page. Chase me ladies, I'm the Cavalry (talk) 19:28, 29 June 2009 (UTC)

Well, I understand your comment, but I was merely removing incorrect information provided by cross-wiki vandals 190.10.0.121‎ and 201.198.133.51‎, both Costa Rican IP addresses and maybe proxies. I have tried to reason with them, but they have insisted on reverting the article. Antique Rose — Drop me a line 19:47, 29 June 2009 (UTC)

The information isn't necessarily incorrect - they've got good sourcing to back it up - and the IPs are not proxies as far as I can tell. The IP is most likely a shared IP, and may well be reallocated on a regular basis. Try and engage in a friendlier manner rather than using phrases such as "Please, do NOT continue your rabid edit war.", which will only foster resentment. Remember to assume good faith when discussing with them, but these aren't vandal edits, and we shouldn't treat them as such. Chase me ladies, I'm the Cavalry (talk) 20:13, 29 June 2009 (UTC)

How many Catholics?

Hi Antique Rose, the issue I was trying to address was that while it may be true that 'Church membership in 2007 was 1.147 billion people', many of those people (like me a baptised Catholic) have not practised their faith for many years. So while the Church still regards them as lapsed members and include them in the count, it is potentially highly misleading for the majority of people reading Wikipedia who do not appreciate the distinction between practising and lapsed Catholics and will come away thinking there are 1.147 billion of the former in the world. In fact, if that were true one in six of the world's population would be attending weekly Mass. That was why I tried to qualify the figure with an admittedly vague statement (not having the global figures for practising Catholics: does anyone?) and when that was reverted I suggested we add the word 'baptised'.Haldraper (talk) 19:19, 9 July 2009 (UTC)

OK. Thanks for explaining your train of thought to me. How would you like to rephrase the wording, in detail? But, then again, how does one define "practising" Catholic. What does it take to qualify as a "practising" Catholic? Is there a universal definition? If I follow the minimum of requirements of the Church – does that make me a practising Catholic? Antique Rose — Drop me a line 20:40, 9 July 2009 (UTC)

Yes, as long as you'd been baptised a Catholic it would, I'll expand more on the main talk page.Haldraper (talk) 05:58, 10 July 2009 (UTC)

Shroud of Turin

I think some of your edits are quite good. However, I think a few of the earlier edits that you called 'controversial' and without reference were more or less correct based on the rest of the article. For example, in the opening paragraph, there is no mention of the scientific queries or the position of the scientific community at large. Being the first paragraph, it serves as an overview and should therefore at least mention the position that opposes the more common belief.

I have added a sentence that I think completes the opening paragraph and provides a clue of what is to come later in the passage. I would be pleased to hear if my addition better suits your expectation of a fair, and complete overview.

Cheers. S. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Skeptipithecus (talk • contribs) 00:16, 21 July 2009 (UTC)

Thank you Antique Rose. Clothing is my favorite. I am a girly girl. :-D --142.68.14.196 (talk) 22:57, 7 August 2009 (UTC)

Absolutely! :-) By the way, in my opinion, I believe that where men were semi-formal clothes, women wear cocktail dresses. For black tie, I assume they wear very simple gowns. For white tie, women wear ball gowns. Finally, I believe evening gowns go along with men's formal wear that does not fall under "white tie" and/or "black tie".

Luis Carlos Galán

May I know who in the world you are and for which reason you keep deleting my contributions on "Luis Carlos Galan"? I even cited the newscast broadcast in which those facts were announced so what do I need to do for you to leave my contributions alone? Do you have any grounds to refute my contributions? Sithknight1 (talk) 00:52, 19 August 2009 (UTC)

My name is Antique Rose, and I have deleted the "fact" about Galán's suit once. Is that information notable? The source given for your edit – "Newscast - Noticias RCN Colombia - Air date 08/18/2009 - Noon edition" is nearly impossible to verify. Could you provide a hyperlink? Antique Rose — Drop me a line 01:14, 19 August 2009 (UTC)

I'm not a wikipedia expert so maybe you can teach me a thing or two. Basically what you're trying to say is that for anything to be posted on wikipedia it needs to be online somewhere else? Because the main reason I posted this contribution was that this fact was aired on a newscast yesterday (Which was the 20th anniversary of Galan's assassination) and I realized this fact (Which I found very interesting) was nowhere to be found online. So I thought: What better place than wikipedia to post this fact online for the first time ever?

So shall I assume then, than if something is said on the news, let's say on the radio or on TV, even if one cites the source and airdate of said radio or TV broadcast, if it's not online as well it can't be posted on wikipedia?

And one more question: Let's say for the sake of argument that I taped this news broadcast. Copyright law prevents me from posting this online so other people can verify it. But let's say, for argument's sake that I set up a videoconference with you and show you the broadcast. So you go: "ok, it's verified". And leave the post like it was in the beginning. So does this mean that for my contribution to be left alone indefinitely I'm gonna have to hold onto this tape and set up daily web conferences with every single wikipedia user that feels like challenging the validity of the post? Because if that's the case, wikipedia is not the sum of all human knowledge as it's touted to be. It would be nothing more than the sum of all the internet. And it would be inspiring to think than the boundaries of human knowledge go beyond those of the web.

Like I said, I'm not a wikipedia expert. But I'm willing to learn so if you can shed some light one this...Sithknight1 (talk) 16:25, 19 August 2009 (UTC)

Thank you for your comments! Well, Wikipedia is pretty much all about verifiability. Information, especially biographical, has got to be verifiable, i.e. anyone should be able to check the sources provided for any kind of information. You cite "Noticias RCN Colombia" when writing about the suit Galán was wearing when he was assassinated. I don't mistrust you, but it would be great if the editors and readers of Wikipedia could be given access to this source. Does RCN Colombia have a website? Or, maybe you could consider linking to the Colombian National Museum. Antique Rose — Drop me a line 22:58, 19 August 2009 (UTC)

Well, what do you know! I Found it!!!!!! I have edited my contribution to include a link to a video site where you can see the broadcast. If you're interested, look at the video, pause it at 3 minutes and 14 seconds and take a closer look, just after Galan's widow speaks to the camera. You can see a close - up of the Ugo Pellegrini's label on the inner lapel of the suit. Thanks for all your help and guidance on this. Like I said, I'm pretty new to the way wikipedia works but I thought this was an interesting fact, nowhere to be found on the web. Cheers! Sithknight1 (talk) 18:51, 20 August 2009 (UTC)

Religious passion

Greetings, Antique Rose! This is the first time I've ventured into religion-themed articles, precisely because I was afraid of fighting for NPOV. I understand religious passion, but Wikipedia is supposed to be neutral. It should describe a person completely, not from one POV. Surtsicna (talk) 22:36, 3 September 2009 (UTC) Also, you advise me to refer to talkpage, but you never respond. Why? If you keep ingoring my requests for discussion, what option will I have beside edit war? Surtsicna (talk) 22:38, 3 September 2009 (UTC)

Please, don't get all excited! I have responded. And if you continue your POV edit war, you will end up being blocked. Antique Rose — Drop me a line 22:43, 3 September 2009 (UTC)

Don't worry about my excitement; judging by your edit summaries, you shouldn't be getting more excited. I am trying to reach a consensus; if you continue your POV edit war while ignoring my requests for discussion, you'll end up being blocked much sooner. Surtsicna (talk) 22:47, 3 September 2009 (UTC)

I don't think so. According to e.g. Afaprof01, you're the vandal. Antique Rose — Drop me a line 22:55, 3 September 2009 (UTC)

I'm afraid you confuse animosity with my intention to keep the articles about the Blessed Virgin Mary and her Son in accordance with NPOV. If your edits also were NPOV, they wouldn't suffer reversion each time. Antique Rose — Drop me a line 23:47, 3 September 2009 (UTC)

I'm afraid you confuse the article about the Blessed Virgin Mary with Mary (mother of Jesus) and the article about Jesus with the article about Christian views of Jesus. Just a correction to your last sentence: if my edits were also your POV, they wouldn't suffer reversion each time. I cannot understand how someone who respects and venerates Mary and Jesus wants the articles about them to be less than fine; a biased article will never be fine. Surtsicna (talk) 09:29, 4 September 2009 (UTC)

"A biased article will never be fine." I totally agree, and that's way your edits are reverted. Ridiculing the Christian faith will take you nowhere. Antique Rose — Drop me a line 09:48, 4 September 2009 (UTC)

Now your reversion of my edit is reverted by a sensible user who doesn't think that I am ridiculing the Christian faith. You seem to be another user fond of calumny and ridiculous accusations, which is why I will not bother asking why you think that I am ridiculing the Christian faith. Surtsicna (talk) 14:51, 5 September 2009 (UTC)

It's in effect a reproduction of another photograph. One has to aim for some reasonable middle ground or otherwise no product package could ever be shown, but in this case it was too obvious.

Here Is My Answer

I am showing that it came to me that receptions can be for anything. Evening gowns are worn to balls, right? I think ball gowns are rather old-fashioned, designed for dancing rather than formal occasions. Apart from all dresses, a dinner gown worn to semi-formal events like a state dinner, maybe. It is more formal than a day dress but less formal than an evening gown. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 216.118.137.211 (talk) 22:03, 8 January 2010 (UTC)

Removal of source: Pope Benedict XVI

you cited as your reason for removing the source as it being a violation of This policy however it is not. World Press Review is a reputable news source. and according to the policy that you cited this is the rule ""Blogs" in this context refers to personal and group blogs. Some newspapers host interactive columns that they call blogs, and these may be acceptable as sources so long as the writers are professional journalists or are professionals in the field on which they write and the blog is subject to the newspaper's full editorial control. Posts left by readers may never be used as sources." this is the case with the source i listed, it was written usccb and world press had editorial oversight, it meets the burden required by the rule you cited.

I'm not changing the article stating that an arrest might have occurred, but adding a response made by a former producer and lawyer that personally knows Dobrev. Back in September of 2009, Wikipedia added the arrest story and the response made by the producer. Then, the whole thing including the arrest was deleted.

Rome

Hi Antique Rose. I note that you have reverted the recent moves of the Rome rioni. A new naming convention for Italy was agreed a year ago, under which all Italian placename articles, if they need to be disambiguated, should be placed under Placename, Region. The policy is clearly set out at Wikipedia:Naming conventions (geographic names)#Italy. You should also note that disambiguating by parentheses is deprecated for placenames. Your reverts are directly contrary to these guidelines. I note that you also claim there are lots of villages called 'Borgo' in Lazio. There may be, but either they have no articles on English Wikipedia, and are therefore irrelevant when considering disambiguation; or they are not simply named 'Borgo', and therefore do not need to be disambiguated. Please abide by the convention that was agreed and arrange for an administrator to undo your reverts. Skinsmoke (talk) 01:36, 24 July 2010 (UTC)

Incidentally, the discussion that led to the new convention concluded that frazioni (the equivalent in the rest of Italy of Rome's rioni) should be treated the same way as comuni or any other placename in Italy. I hope the above doesn't come across as too harsh a tone. I know only too well how difficult it is to keep up with naming conventions, particularly when they change, and have been caught out myself before now. However, the article moves did provide a link to the convention in the History. A side effect of your reverts, by the way, has been that the appropriate article is no longer highlighted in the Rioni of Rome template at the bottom of the page. Skinsmoke (talk) 01:45, 24 July 2010 (UTC)

I'm so sorry, but I wasn't aware of this new naming convention. Could you please show me the discussion about frazioni, rioni and comuni? Antique Rose — Drop me a line 01:58, 24 July 2010 (UTC)

Even easier than I thought! It's at Wikipedia talk:Naming conventions (geographic names)/Archives/2009/August#Naming convention for Italian cities. There were only about seven editors involved, but it was an extensive and far-ranging discussion, in which most editors changed their position to come to a compromise.

Did you miss the paragraph about Italy at Wikipedia:Naming_conventions_(geographic_names)? On 3 July you moved Borgo, Lazio to Borgo (rione of Rome) over redirect: saying wrong move, there's nothing about this at Wikipedia:Naming conventions (geographic names), before moving it back - explain why. I thought that you had read Skinsmoke's comment at Wikipedia talk:Naming conventions (geographic names)/Archives/2010/July#Italy: rioni of Rome, where you subsequently asked for the location of the discussion about frazioni, rioni and comuni. Skinsmoke responded a couple of hours later, providing the address at Wikipedia talk:Naming conventions (geographic names)/Archives/2009/August#Naming convention for Italian cities. If you did not understand Skinsmoke's comment about what it says at Wikipedia:Naming_conventions_(geographic_names)#Italy and that the section applies to rione please comment appropriately at Wikipedia talk:Naming conventions (geographic names)/Archives/2010/July#Italy: rioni of Rome.

Listen. Forget what I wrote before. I should have said "princess style dress" rather than "princess gown". As far as I'm concerned, princess gowns are only in fairy tales.

How come the article has to be shortened? I must say that both the history section and the different styles section are adequate and belong in the article. Maybe you should try to edit other articles than dresses and imaginary figures. Antique Rose — Drop me a line 01:01, 23 October 2010 (UTC)

Evening gown

I appreciate that the anonymous editor you've been dealing with there hasn't exactly been helpful, but I'd ask you to be careful. Edits like this, while obviously disruptive when they're made repeatedly and without consensus, really aren't vandalism as defined by Wikipedia. You've made five reverts in the last 24 hours (breaching the three revert rule) and you also used rollback to do it without edit summaries. From what I've seen that editor means well but is young and doesn't really get it - it may be overall friendlier if you request the article be semi-protected in future rather than edit warring over it. Thanks in advance, I hope you understand. ~ mazca ^talk 18:01, 23 October 2010 (UTC)

I understand your concern, but let me inform you that several users, including myself, have tried to reason with this Nova Scotia user. It's no doubt that the user in question is young, but he/she makes disruptive edits and edits that are totally incorrect. This particular user has been editing for a couple of years from Nova Scotia IP addresses, ranges 99.192.xxx.xxx, 216.118.xxx.xxx, 142.68.xxx.xxx, and most of them have been blocked. The editor is young, but we cannot have special rules for young editors. If you take a look at the revision history for the dress article, keeping these IP ranges in mind, you will see this case in a different light.

Jesus edit

Hi,

Regarding my edit to the Jesus article, I reverted the edit because there were several unexplained changes which completely changed the meaning of the sentences, and re-arranged the entire lead section, as well as adding a paragraph that is both inaccurate and unencyclopedic.

Why did you revert all my changes to Immanuel Kant with the comment "please do not alter what the sources say". Came across very high handed and arrogant. My edit makes much more sense.

I noticed that the coronation gown article is not its own. Instead of making a new article, they claim it falls under "evening gown" what in fact it doesn't.

The Arbitration Committee has permitted administrators to impose discretionary sanctions (information on which is at Wikipedia:Arbitration Committee/Discretionary sanctions) on any editor who is active on pages broadly related to Armenia-Azerbaijan and related conflicts. Discretionary sanctions can be used against an editor who repeatedly or seriously fails to adhere to the purpose of Wikipedia, any expected standards of behavior, or any normal editorial process. If you engage in further inappropriate behavior in this area, you may be placed under sanctions, which can include blocks, a revert limitation, or an article ban. The Committee's full decision can be read in the Wikipedia:Requests for arbitration/Armenia-Azerbaijan 2#Final decision section of the decision page. Please familiarise yourself with the information page at Wikipedia:Arbitration Committee/Discretionary sanctions, with the appropriate sections of Wikipedia:Arbitration Committee/Procedures, and with the case decision page.

It was absolutely not vandalism, it was a content dispute over whether the source was reliable or not. Magog the Ogre (talk) 15:46, 18 November 2011 (UTC)

Well, there seems to be no consensus whether the removal was vandalism or not. 176.14.208.162 and its sock 85.141.14.195 removed seven sources, and Jim1138 and Denisarona reverted the removals to begin with.

Not true at all. One can disagree with the content of an edit without calling it vandalism. Magog the Ogre (talk) 17:16, 21 November 2011 (UTC)

Yes, one can, but I don't. The first sentence of WP:VAN states: "Vandalism is any addition, removal, or change of content in a deliberate attempt to compromise the integrity of Wikipedia."

Thank you for your contributions. Please remember to mark your edits, such as your recent edits to Saint Peter, as "minor" only if they truly are minor edits. In accordance with Help:Minor edit, a minor edit is one that the editor believes requires no review and could never be the subject of a dispute. Minor edits consist of things such as typographical corrections, formatting changes, or rearrangement of text without modification of content. Additionally, the reversion of clear-cut vandalism and test edits may be labeled "minor". Changing the scope of a claim from Catholic tradition to accepted with sufficient universality not to qualify it exceeds the range of the minor edit tag.
