I would appreciate your input concerning the removal of copyright-violating material from the article. I have already excised significant parts of it, but there is one remaining issue where someone appears to have copied from someone, and it would be helpful if this could be set straight before repairing the article.

Nice work on the rewrite of the Stage (stratigraphy) article. I was just wondering how to seriously approach it, when your edit did it all. I have added a little more to the definition section which I think provides a nice lead-in to the "International standardization" section. Again, really nice job! -- Bejnar ( talk) 21:40, 14 September 2008 (UTC)

What you are saying makes sense, but I'm still wondering whether The Living Word Fellowship is notable. It's a small group of churches, and I don't think that every church needs its own Wikipedia article. I think that a lot of the attention this article is getting is due to confusing it with Bobbi's movement. I'm also concerned that the only third-party source that seems usable to me is "Another Gospel," which looks at certain religions or denominations in the context of how they compare to mainstream Christianity. My concern is that this one source does not constitute enough information for an accurate and neutral article. But all that aside, disambiguation would be great.

Hi Bejnar. I just saw your edit in the article Qizilbash. The word "extremist" is actually directly taken from the Encyclopaedia of Islam. The article is written by Roger M. Savory (the most important scholar on Safavid history), and this is what the first sentense of the article says: [1] (screen shot) I can send you the entire article (PDF) if you want. Cheers.

Hi. I'm glad you have recently edited this article. I have problems with the article - none of the claims it makes are supported with any independent evidence or citations. The only information I can find is on the Mike Flicker website. (Hardly what you would call an independent source!) Do you have access to some other sources of information? For example, I'm not surprised to see someone say "Mushroom Studios was not designed and built by Mike Flicker", but on what information do you base that statement? Similarly, I have not been able to find anything about his birthplace. What leads you to think he may have been born in Seattle? (I'm hoping you have access to a large cache of information I haven't been able to find!) Cheers, Pdfpdf ( talk) 09:58, 7 October 2008 (UTC)
Hey, this is really good stuff! It should also be useful for the Heart, Wilsons and Fishers pages too. (It's really hard to find anything on Mike Fisher). Many thanks. Cheers, Pdfpdf ( talk) 07:53, 8 October 2008 (UTC)
Just to let you know that most cleanup templates, like "{{ Unreferenced}}", "{{ Fact}}" and , "{{ POV-check}}" etc., are best not "subst"ed . See WP:SUBST for more details. Regards, Rich Farmbrough, 22:10 23 October 2008 (UTC).
I moce the page over the redirect at your suggestion. Seems like the best way forward. I suggest pointing John Demspey (politician) to the main disambig page but am comofrtable leaviung the matter in your hands. Eluchil404 ( talk) 23:06, 25 October 2008 (UTC)
Hii Bejnar - I've left a fairly hefty warning on Garliyev's user talk page, though I doubt it will do much good. He or she is not instantly blockable for breaking guidelines at the moment, since there's clearly no vandalous intent, but if s/he continues to move pages now that the warning is in place it may well become a blockable offence. It's a little heavy handed, but the lack of any attempt by Garliyev to communicate to others on user talk pages, and only one message on an article's talk page, there aren't that many other options. The other thing that could be done is to start a RfC process (though have a look at Wikipedia:Dispute resolution and Wikipedia:Disruptive editing to make sure there's nothing I've missed there - this isn't part of admin work I do very often). Let me know if the problems continue. Grutness... wha? 23:33, 25 October 2008 (UTC)
Hi Bejnar. I just saw that you replaced the template. I do not think that the template "History of Afghanistan" is the better choice. First of all, Afghanistan did not even exist at that time, but was created some 30 years later. Secondly, Mir Mahmoud Hotaki and Ashraf Khan Hotaki officially ruled as "Kings of Iran", based in Isfahan - as such, they are in the line of Kings of the Persian Empire and were regarded as Kings of Persia by contemporary rulers, such as the Ottoman Sultans who were at war with them, or the Russian Tsars (battle of Caucasia and Azerbaijan). Although the reign of the Hotaki was short (ca. 7 years), in that preiod, they officially held all powers of previous kings.
That's why I think that the template "History of Greater Iran" is much more appropriate, because it covers the history of the entire region and puts the Hotaki to the historical position they deserve: Kings of Persia. It is wrong to assume that the Hotaki were merely a "regional uprising". Their ascent to power was no different from that of their successors, the Turkmen Afsharids. They are as much part of the history of Iran, as they are part of the history of Afghanistan (which was created 2 decades after the fall of the Hotakis).
The separate history of Iran, Afghanistan, and Caucasia started after the fall of the Afsharids, and the rise of the Durranis, Qajars, and Zands.
In your edit, you advised to read the discussion. But there was no note justifying your edit.

The article says: "Each yekyua is associated with a particular animal, and they act as familiars for the Yakut shaman." The shaman presumably deals with healing sometimes and his familiars help him in his life at least. Ergo, the article is connected to healers and a system of healing which is not the western mainstream, but another culture's attempts at medicine. Everything in Category:Alternative medicine and its subcategories such as Category:Shamanism (within reason) I am tagging with the wikiproject alternative medicine banner and a rating. It could be worse- some projects leave this to a bot lol. It does no harm to have the project banner there, it merely draws more people to work on the article, as wikiproject members are made more aware of the article. A lot of traditional medicine articles are in Category:Alternative medicine and I feel somewhat embarrassed tagging them. Do you think the project should be renamed "wikiproject alternative and traditional medicine"? I almost proposed this on the project's page today. Not very catchy I know lol but I expect we have longer-named wikiprojects.:) Sticky Parkin 03:21, 9 November 2008 (UTC)
Nice map of Glenrio that you found! Is it online, or did you scan a printed map? Nyttend ( talk) 19:05, 13 November 2008 (UTC)
Dear Bejnar, I've worked in his group and know more intimately his various roles; changed text slightly but preserved your spirit. But I had to take away the word "significantly", because he has not yet achieved the highest honour of NASA Distinguished Service Medal and/or the Space Technology Hall of Fame. Hope that he'll get there someday. So far his contributions have been more in variety, and not in a one or two punches. Thanks. Kgwu24 ( talk) 16:32, 15 November 2008 (UTC)kgwu24
Hi, Bejnar! As per WP:SETINDEX, a set index article is "a list article about a set of items of a specific type that share the same (or similar) name". The items on the Vyatsky page are all inhabited localities in Russia, sharing the same name, hence the page meets the definition. Note that WP:SETINDEX does not call for the set indices to meet any additional requirements beyond these two. The implementation of the set indices (including further refinement of their definition) is up to the WikiProjects under scope of which these sets fall. WP:RUSSIA's preference is to treat pages containing lists of localities sharing the same name as sets, because the project's flow benefits from having orphaned red-linked items on such pages—something MOSDAB explicitly prohibits.

'Jornada' would be archaic if it was no longer in use, which is not the case. It has certainly not "vanished from modern Spanish usage": it still exists and keeps the same meaning as in the 1700s. Regards. -- Will vm ( talk) 10:23, 2 December 2008 (UTC)
