- Hey JeffG! Good to see you on wikipedia. While I don't think all the links you added to the spamcop page need to be there, I'll look into seeing if I can restore some of them. Wrs1864 19:29, 21 December 2006 (UTC)

SpamCop
A tag has been placed on WhatIsSpamCop, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article seems to be blatant advertising which only promotes a company, product, group or service and which would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become an encyclopedia article. Please read the general criteria for speedy deletion, particularly item 11, as well as the guidelines on spam.
If you can indicate why the subject of this article is not blatant advertising, you may contest the tagging. To do this, please add {{hangon}} on the top of the page and leave a note on the article's talk page explaining your position. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would help make it encyclopedic, as well as adding any citations from reliable sources to ensure that the article will be verifiable. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. JudahBlaze 20:41, 21 December 2006 (UTC)
- Thank you for your input. Please see the discussion on the article's talk page. Jeff G. 20:58, 21 December 2006 (UTC)
- It seems the article is no longer there. Sorry. --JudahBlaze 21:15, 21 December 2006 (UTC)
Sorry I've never really done this before and I don't have an account or know how to do things in the proper way but I did have a reason for editing the page and I doubt it will change any of the pages that fall under the low importance criteria.
As I posted on the Talk page this is why I changed it,
I removed the "or not adherents to atheism" clause from the first sentence of the low importance level category. It's difficult for me to understand what this is trying to say but from what I understand it's making the assumption that adherents to atheism are especially knowledgeable or educated about Christianity? Apparently enough to be included in a comparison with Christians themselves..? This generalization is as random as it is false. Also it disrupts the flow of the sentence and seemed like an unnatural addition.
I hope to hear your thoughts.

- Hi, Preston. You appear to be writing about Wikipedia:WikiProject Christianity/Assessment and this edit. "or that are not adherents to atheism" was in this very first edit by Badbilltucker (talk · contribs) at 18:08, 27 December 2006 (UTC). Good luck contacting him, though, as he hasn't been heard from in four years (since a month after that edit). — Jeff G. ツ (talk) 04:17, 6 March 2012 (UTC)
