Hey! I got your message about my recent edit and tried to add citations to it in the next revision but it looks like I goofed that one up to. Any tips? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 208.79.27.13 ( talk • contribs) 23:03, 19 February 2016 (UTC)
Hello, I think you have given me a vandalism template by mistake. I have been reverting vandalism on articles, and I noticed User:Thabiso Cavin Mabena had made a vandalism edit ( Special:Diff/706014411) and then removed it ( Special:Diff/706014544) but in the process shifted the reference so it was a line below where it was supposed to be. I thought the best thing to do was to revert both edits to get it back to the state it was in Special:Permalink/702511933 before User: Thabiso Cavin Mabena made either of his edits. Thus, I reversed both of his edits ( Special:Diff/706017466 and Special:Diff/706017483) to get it back to the original version. I think amidst all the edits, you mistook my edits for readding vandalism, which they were not; they were removing Thabiso's. However, the edit you reverted was the one that moved the reference back to the right place ( Special:Diff/706017634), so now it's back floating in midair between the lead and the menu box. I'm sorry for the confusion; I'm going to put the reference back in the right place now. TallCorgi ( talk) 23:51, 20 February 2016 (UTC)

Hello, Thank you for putting in the hard work of a moderator and keeping these pages looking good; it's truly appreciated by many of us. In regards to your recent contributions to Stockholm syndrome I fear we might not see eye to eye on the subject and due to your mention of "vandalism" it wouldn't surprise me if you might hold to previously held beliefs you may or may not have even after I make a sound argument. Regardless of opinion, I think truth shall prevail in the name of scientific advancement and public knowledge and religious oppression should not be an issue. I do hope you hold the same view. At the same time, I'm glad you reverted this as I think a touch of empathy is needed and I wonder if you might do so for those who still suffer this this imaginary and harmful notion.
While it is taught in Psychology that religious beliefs can be part of a person's identity, there is no credible evidence of a god or gods making this an arational belief. Anthropology of Religion defines this kind of Magical Thinking with things like prayer, human sacrifice(has a section on the crucifixion of Jesus), witchcraft, observation of taboos, superstitions, and magic while believing these actions can have a causal effect on universal outcomes. This type of Magical Thinking is different than daydreaming about goals that one can achieve through actions. There's no practical reason for believing that which isn't true.
Faith can be defined as the purposeful denial of reality to hold true to a belief. Epistemology is the study of knowledge and defines what we can say we know rather than what we believe to be true.
In the Christian myth, complete control over every aspect of the believer’s life forces them to worship the jealous Abrahamic God as mentioned in Exodus 20:5 with the threat of eternal torture after death. Followers are not allowed to develop relationships with anyone who doesn’t share their belief 2 Corinthians 6:14-17.
This article goes into great detail as to the many ways it is related to Stockholm syndrome. www.patheos.com/blogs/daylightatheism/essays/is-the-christian-relationship-with-god-healthy/?repeat=w3tc
When children are brainwashed into this cult by adults using indoctrination techniques such as telling them that the things in the bible are true and that snakes and burning bushes can talk or that people can rise from the dead after three days causes problems in distinguishing fact from fiction. The use of presuppositional arguments for example are sometimes used to gaslight the child's reality. http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/cogs.12138/abstract
One thing many christians don't realize is that Matt 1:23's mistranslation of the Hebrew word almah shows Mary to be a young maiden or young woman of marriageable age meaning she was over the age of 14. This means that the story is of an infinitely old creator impregnating a 14 year old after having her groomed. Age of Consent laws were not established until the 13th century but an all-knowing and all-loving god would have known that. Special pleading is a fallacy and should not be used to excuse this vile behavior anywhere.
The story is similar to that of the Rape of Persephone at the age of 15 in Greek mythology described in the Homeric Hymn to Demeter; however, in this Christian myth John 10:30 says I am my father, and John 14:28 says his father is greater than him so we're not quite sure who is who. From the several hundred self-refuting verses in the bible we've been able to determine that he impregnated Mary with himself to have himself in order to sacrifice himself to himself to save the people from himself. Obviously, this makes as much sense as claiming I stubbed my toe to pay your mortgage....then there's the story of the Canaanites. Conclusion; the Abrahamic god not only molests children but condones and orders his people to do it but homosexuality is a sin. http://www.patheos.com/blogs/peterenns/2012/07/children-and-virgins-as-spoils-of-war-and-the-character-of-god/
Theology is a respected branch of Metaphysics using Abstract Thinking where Bayesian probability arguments are typically the most respectable. "this this and this are true, therefore, there is a high LIKELIHOOD that X is true, and X has a decent likelihood of being caused by a creator god, therefore I'm confident enough in that probability to think a god exists." While this sounds like gibberish to us, this is how many many arguments for the existence of god sound. Christian Apologetics are not respected because the bible is not credible.
I think I've supported my inductive argument showing this type of belief has no constructive purpose for a person and is indeed harmful. After further investigation, I hope you can agree it does not hold value and should be done away with; obviously I don't mean my entry. I look forward to your response and working with you in the future.

You flagged my edits as disruptive, I don't want to be disruptive. I removed any text from the ReConnect Cafe` edit that I made which I thought might be promotional and left only facts of the business that is at 221 Main Street Delta, PA. I made those edits because when I googled ReConnect Cafe` looking for information about it, the wiki page was about a place in NY but they don't have the exact same name. ReConnect Cafe` (with that exact spelling and capitalization) The information currently on the ReConnect Csfe` page reflects the detail of RECONNECT Brooklyn or Re-Connect Cafe` (as they have it on their facebook page). If I cannot change the content, can the title be changed? A change needs to be made one way or another for accuracy reasons.
I am not associated with ReConnect Café in Delta. I frequent the establishment but as a customer only, I do not provide them any services, they have never paid me for anything. What happened is the result of my ignorance in regards to the way Wikipedia works, my my blind desire to "fix" what I thought was a mistake, and a poorly executed attempt at lending a hand to the nice folks at my local coffee shop. I don't wish to ruffle feathers, I am sorry if I made your day difficult Marianna251. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.95.33.68 ( talk) 22:01, 25 February 2016 (UTC)
To say I am confused by navigating wiki would be an understatement, obviously I know only enough to get myself into trouble! Although I can't say I am going to be looking to contribute to anything on wiki anytime soon, I will be sure to reach out for assistance in the future so that it is done through the proper channels. Again, I am sorry for the mess I made.

Hello,
I recently made an edit to the Ballot access page for requirements for Alabama. I made this on a work computer and did not have an account at the time. I now have an account. My edit was correct. I do find it interesting you thought it was incorrect when it originally had uncited 2006 data. I have made my edits again with a couple of sources this time. When I made the original edit I did not know of a place where the actual number was listed.But being a Alabama voter I knew it was 3% and I know what the numbers were in the 2014 governor election. I hope my sources are adequate, if not let me know and I will track down more/others.

I am a Muslim and the materials I have written on the articles comes from the perspective of a Muslim, which should be given more priority then the materials written on the point of views of non Muslims. Regardless I see no reason why my valid statement that homosexuality and sodomy is the 11th major sin in Islam has been removed, as it is a fact that is on our scriptures and I have even given a reference to it: http://www.al-islam.org/greater-sins-volume-1-ayatullah-sayyid-abdul-husayn-dastghaib-shirazi/eleventh-greater-sin-sodomy Please allow me to add only that material again as it is valid and comes from the point of view f a Muslim. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 58.97.137.179 ( talk) 17:09, 22 March 2016 (UTC)
Dear Marianna,
At some point this morning I noticed that you cleared a comment that was placed on the 'Marsden' Wikipedia page. Unfortunately, I had left my iPad logged on and on that page, and left the room, filled with other people and someone told me that they edited the page. And I would therefore like to formally apologise for you having to clear that page and would really like to inform you that this was not me, and j have felt extremely terrible all day after forcing you to clean the page after 'my' visit and would again like to confirm that this was in fact not me, but somebody else who had access to my iPad when I had left the room.
Sincere apologies, and wishing you well — Preceding unsigned comment added by 165.120.16.230 ( talk) 17:42, 22 March 2016 (UTC)
Thank You for cleaning up the Stan Kroenke article to show less bias. However a user named Illusion87 has dedicated his entire wikipedia time to presenting a biased fans view. All of his edits are just on the one subject, which I would think is a violation of wikipedia policy.

Hi, Marianna. I recently amended an article on the Franssen Effect, to bring it in line with Wikikpedia's style recommendations, viz., that the variety of English used for an article should best reflect the main nationality associated with the subject. Franssen was Dutch and in the Netherlands the variety of English spoken (and spoken extremely well by most of the population) is that which Americans call 'British English' and the rest of the world calls 'English' (cf. Haitian French, Canadian French, French -- not 'French French'). This seems to be true of Germany and Scandinavia as well. Would I be right in concluding that you yourself are American? That would explain a certain arrogance in treating a non-anglophone nationality as meriting 'American English'. Kind regards, Jan — Preceding unsigned comment added by 27.33.152.79 ( talk) 05:33, 20 April 2016 (UTC)

Despite its increasing use as such, "transition" is not--and can not be used as--a verb. While it has become faddish to "verb" this noun, the fact is that "transit" is the verb form. If "transit" does not fulfill the requirements for the context, then perhaps "move" should be used. Language should not be subjected to the nonsensical whims of an atavistic sensibility. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jasonkanelittleton ( talk • contribs) 14:11, 28 April 2016 (UTC)
While you have provided documentation that asserts your claims, they are specious modern definitions. The problem with dictionaries is that they eventually include any definition that is in use, not necessarily the correct ones only. Transit is most certainly a verb (as well as a noun, its genesis in Latin transire (to go across), and it is the root of the noun transition. Logic dictates that a verb modified with "-ition" becomes a noun; it is the instance of an action. The fact that post modern discourse misuses these words (transition, reference, Etc) as nouns( and thus online dictionaries dutifully define them as such) does not change the reality of the words' actually meanings. The Oxford English Dictionary is the Standard Authority for the English Language; while it does include transition as a noun, its primary definition is as a noun. Transit is defined as both a noun and a verb. Ultimately, the argument is meaningless if one fails to recognize that the language should be based on some authority both historic and logical. I maintain that this is a nonsensical misuse of the word--in what circumstance would transition be needed when transit would not? The answer is never--there is no need to "verb" transition in order to meet some unfulfilled demand that transit can not. Either way, I do not have the inclination to continue this pointless exercise; do what you want--the internet has no academic legitimacy. Jasonkanelittleton ( talk) 16:39, 28 April 2016 (UTC)

From the several hundred self-refuting verses in the bible we've been able to determine that he impregnated Mary with himself to have himself in order to sacrifice himself to himself to save the people from himself. Obviously, this makes as much sense as claiming I stubbed my toe to pay your mortgage....then there's the story of the Canaanites. Conclusion; the Abrahamic god not only molests children but condones and orders his people to do it but homosexuality is a sin. http://www.patheos.com/blogs/peterenns/2012/07/children-and-virgins-as-spoils-of-war-and-the-character-of-god/
Theology is a respected branch of Metaphysics using Abstract Thinking where Bayesian probability arguments are typically the most respectable. "this this and this are true, therefore, there is a high LIKELIHOOD that X is true, and X has a decent likelihood of being caused by a creator god, therefore I'm confident enough in that probability to think a god exists." While this sounds like gibberish to us, this is how many many arguments for the existence of god sound. Christian Apologetics are not respected because the bible is not credible.
I think I've supported my inductive argument showing this type of belief has no constructive purpose for a person and is indeed harmful. After further investigation, I hope you can agree it does not hold value and should be done away with; obviously I don't mean my entry. I look forward to your response and working with you in the future.

Thank you for the help. I came here because you keep YOUR page cleaner than the talk page of this topic and I wanted to make my points without needing to debate several people. Having said that, this is not my original idea but instead one I got from a guy with a Philosophy degree in Cognitive Neuroscience; Sam Harris. But, how do I source a Youtube video? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-i3mX0YRrjM

You flagged my edits as disruptive, I don't want to be disruptive. I removed any text from the ReConnect Cafe` edit that I made which I thought might be promotional and left only facts of the business that is at 221 Main Street Delta, PA. I made those edits because when I googled ReConnect Cafe` looking for information about it, the wiki page was about a place in NY but they don't have the exact same name. ReConnect Cafe` (with that exact spelling and capitalization) The information currently on the ReConnect Csfe` page reflects the detail of RECONNECT Brooklyn or Re-Connect Cafe` (as they have it on their facebook page). If I cannot change the content, can the title be changed? A change needs to be made one way or another for accuracy reasons.
I am not associated with ReConnect Café in Delta. I frequent the establishment but as a customer only, I do not provide them any services, they have never paid me for anything. What happened is the result of my ignorance in regards to the way Wikipedia works, my my blind desire to "fix" what I thought was a mistake, and a poorly executed attempt at lending a hand to the nice folks at my local coffee shop. I don't wish to ruffle feathers, I am sorry if I made your day difficult Marianna251. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.95.33.68 ( talk) 22:01, 25 February 2016 (UTC)
To say I am confused by navigating wiki would be an understatement, obviously I know only enough to get myself into trouble! Although I can't say I am going to be looking to contribute to anything on wiki anytime soon, I will be sure to reach out for assistance in the future so that it is done through the proper channels. Again, I am sorry for the mess I made.

Hello,
I recently made an edit to the Ballot access page for requirements for Alabama. I made this on a work computer and did not have an account at the time. I now have an account. My edit was correct. I do find it interesting you thought it was incorrect when it originally had uncited 2006 data. I have made my edits again with a couple of sources this time. When I made the original edit I did not know of a place where the actual number was listed.But being a Alabama voter I knew it was 3% and I know what the numbers were in the 2014 governor election. I hope my sources are adequate, if not let me know and I will track down more/others.
Regards,

I am a Muslim and the materials I have written on the articles comes from the perspective of a Muslim, which should be given more priority then the materials written on the point of views of non Muslims. Regardless I see no reason why my valid statement that homosexuality and sodomy is the 11th major sin in Islam has been removed, as it is a fact that is on our scriptures and I have even given a reference to it: http://www.al-islam.org/greater-sins-volume-1-ayatullah-sayyid-abdul-husayn-dastghaib-shirazi/eleventh-greater-sin-sodomy Please allow me to add only that material again as it is valid and comes from the point of view f a Muslim. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 58.97.137.179 ( talk) 17:09, 22 March 2016 (UTC)
Dear Marianna,
At some point this morning I noticed that you cleared a comment that was placed on the 'Marsden' Wikipedia page. Unfortunately, I had left my iPad logged on and on that page, and left the room, filled with other people and someone told me that they edited the page. And I would therefore like to formally apologise for you having to clear that page and would really like to inform you that this was not me, and j have felt extremely terrible all day after forcing you to clean the page after 'my' visit and would again like to confirm that this was in fact not me, but somebody else who had access to my iPad when I had left the room.
Sincere apologies, and wishing you well — Preceding unsigned comment added by 165.120.16.230 ( talk) 17:42, 22 March 2016 (UTC)
Thank You for cleaning up the Stan Kroenke article to show less bias. However a user named Illusion87 has dedicated his entire wikipedia time to presenting a biased fans view. All of his edits are just on the one subject, which I would think is a violation of wikipedia policy. His research is purely original and is from sports opinion pieces. 2605:E000:1523:81:E933:272A:FD2F:BB75 ( talk) 06:49, 27 March 2016 (UTC)Down 2000
Hi, Marianna. I recently amended an article on the Franssen Effect, to bring it in line with Wikikpedia's style recommendations, viz., that the variety of English used for an article should best reflect the main nationality associated with the subject. Franssen was Dutch and in the Netherlands the variety of English spoken (and spoken extremely well by most of the population) is that which Americans call 'British English' and the rest of the world calls 'English' (cf. Haitian French, Canadian French, French -- not 'French French'). This seems to be true of Germany and Scandinavia as well. Would I be right in concluding that you yourself are American? That would explain a certain arrogance in treating a non-anglophone nationality as meriting 'American English'.

Despite its increasing use as such, "transition" is not--and can not be used as--a verb. While it has become faddish to "verb" this noun, the fact is that "transit" is the verb form. If "transit" does not fulfill the requirements for the context, then perhaps "move" should be used. Language should not be subjected to the nonsensical whims of an atavistic sensibility. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jasonkanelittleton ( talk • contribs) 14:11, 28 April 2016 (UTC)
While you have provided documentation that asserts your claims, they are specious modern definitions. The problem with dictionaries is that they eventually include any definition that is in use, not necessarily the correct ones only. Transit is most certainly a verb (as well as a noun, its genesis in Latin transire (to go across), and it is the root of the noun transition. Logic dictates that a verb modified with "-ition" becomes a noun; it is the instance of an action. The fact that post modern discourse misuses these words (transition, reference, Etc) as nouns( and thus online dictionaries dutifully define them as such) does not change the reality of the words' actually meanings. The Oxford English Dictionary is the Standard Authority for the English Language; while it does include transition as a noun, its primary definition is as a noun. Transit is defined as both a noun and a verb. Ultimately, the argument is meaningless if one fails to recognize that the language should be based on some authority both historic and logical. I maintain that this is a nonsensical misuse of the word--in what circumstance would transition be needed when transit would not? The answer is never--there is no need to "verb" transition in order to meet some unfulfilled demand that transit can not. Either way, I do not have the inclination to continue this pointless exercise; do what you want--the internet has no academic legitimacy. Jasonkanelittleton ( talk) 16:39, 28 April 2016 (UTC)
