I have no idea why you felt it necessary to adopt such an unpleasant hostile tone, but I suggest that you read Wikipedia:Civility and Wikipedia:Assume good faith.
I didn't say that that the sentence was upsetting, nor that its contents were unfamiliar or that I disagreed with them. I said that it was obscure; it was poorly written. I've no doubt that you knew what you meant by it, but clear writing requires that your meaning is communicated to others. "In many Christian denominations and some others" is unclear; what you meant, as your sarcastic little explanation showed, was something like: "In many denominations of Christianity, and of some other religions".
When editing an article on Wikipedia there is a small field labelled "Edit summary" under the main edit-box. It looks like this:

The text written here will appear on the Recent changes page, in the page revision history, on the diff page, and in the watchlists of users who are watching that article. See m:Help:Edit summary for full information on this feature.
When you leave the edit summary blank, some of your edits could be mistaken for vandalism and may be reverted, so please always briefly summarize your edits, especially when you are making subtle but important changes, like changing dates or numbers. Thank you.

While I realise that there's no point in hoping for good manners from you, note that simply blanking your Talk page without responding to messages, especially when those messages contain warnings and advice, is very much deprecated; see Wikipedia:Talk page#Etiquette. --Mel Etitis (Μελ Ετητης) 09:18, 1 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Please refrain from undoing other people's edits repeatedly. If you continue, you may be blocked from editing Wikipedia under the three-revert rule, which states that nobody may revert an article to a previous version more than three times in 24 hours. (Note: this also means editing the page to reinsert an old edit. If the effect of your actions is to revert back, it qualifies as a revert.) Thank you. Ardenn 17:44, 14 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Please do not remove messages from your talk page. Talk pages exist as a record of communication, and in any case, comments are available through the page history. You're welcome to archive your talk page, but be sure to provide a link to any deleted comments. Thanks. Ardenn 17:44, 14 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Please stop. If you continue to blank pages, you will be blocked from editing Wikipedia. Ardenn 19:50, 5 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

No, he's not a sockpuppet of mine. I did leave a note on his talk page about your talk page though. Ardenn 01:16, 6 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Talk pages

a. You didn't follow the rules on the top of my talk page.

b. I'm just doing what you are doing. If you promose to stop blanking your talk page, I might be encouraged to do the same. Ardenn 01:30, 6 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Ardenn is some vicious, self-important, self-appointed Wiki Mary Poppins who neglects making actual contributions to Wiki entries in favor of running around on other people's user pages filling them with her or his entries in an effort to make herself the star of everyone else's space. She sets draconian rules for her own talk pages, but ignores them on the pages of others. When her comments to not generate enough solemn, awed, deference, she mobilizes a band of similarly minded egocentric Wiki queens to descend like winged monkeys on your personal space. Wiki is full of people who would rather navel gaze and undertake embittered nitpicking of other people's personal spaces, or expound on their own self-created rules in an effort to celebrate their own egos rather than participate in the actual purpose of Wiki, which is to pool hard, factual information in articles that having nothing to do with YOU. Ladies and gents, nobody gives a crap about your opinions, believe it or not.

I'm a guy, it's on my user page. Ardenn 01:43, 6 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

My talk page rules don't apply to someone else's user talk page. They make their own rules. The message I left were templates. Like the one about civility I'm leaving as well. Ardenn 01:45, 6 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

It is important to keep a cool head, especially when responding to comments against you or your edits. Personal attacks and disruptive comments only escalate a situation; please keep calm and remember that action can be taken against other parties if necessary. Attacking another user back can only satisfy trolls or anger contributors and leads to general bad feeling. Please try to remain civil with your comments. Thanks! Ardenn 01:45, 6 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Thank stay off my page!!! Geez, have you nothing better to do??????? FRor God's sake, what an asshole. MY RULE is, no more Ardenn egotrips on my page, how about that?

Please remember to :Please see Wikipedia's no personal attacks policy. Comment on content, not on the contributor; personal attacks damage the community and deter users. Note that continued personal attacks may lead to blocks for disruption. Please stay cool and keep this in mind while editing. Thank you. Ardenn 01:48, 6 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

NO, Ardenn....MY RULE is, I don't sign comments by myself, for myself on my own user page..PLEASE RESPECT THAT and stop trying to manage everyone else's life for them.

Your presence on Wikipedia is no longer needed

It has been determined that your presence on Wikipedia is detrimental to the mission of this online encyclopedia. It has been found that you have nothing to contribute. Please terminate your account now and do not attempt to make any further contribution to this project: your contributions to articles and entries are unwelcome.SebastianFlyte 02:39, 6 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I don't support what SebastianFlyte has said. As long as you assume good faith, and work with others on various articles, I think you should stay and contribute. Ardenn 14:54, 6 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

See Wikipedia:Harassment

Amherst please see Wikipedia:Harassment WP:HA "Wikistalking".

WP:HA

This page in a nutshell: Do not stop other editors from enjoying Wikipedia by making threats, nitpicking good-faith edits to different articles, repeated personal attacks or posting personal information.

You visited another article I edited because of a problem you had with my edit on freemasonry. That is called wikistalking and violates WP:HA (Simonapro 06:35, 6 June 2006 (UTC))[reply]

Fair use rationale for File:Nycsc.gif

Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:Nycsc.gif. I notice the file page specifies that the file is being used under fair use but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia constitutes fair use. Please go to the file description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'file' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "File" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Radiant chains (talk) 14:33, 30 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

ArbCom elections are now open!

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.
