User talk:Davidfmurphy
Ok, so I'm new to the Wiki thing. Sorry about my previous edits. I've read a bit more about the who/what/why/how of things around here, and I now promise to behave myself.
And I'm looking forward to getting the Seven Deadly Sins article fixed....
Response to your message
[edit]Hi, David. Thanks for writing to me. To be honest, I'm extremely puzzled by this user's behavior as well. Part of it is that, admittedly, I find his writing style very dense and hard to decipher, but it goes beyond that, I think. I was surprised that this article went to mediation since it was never discussed on the talk page. Discussing an article via e-mail correspondence is extremely (pardon the pun) unorthodox. His refusal to edit the article himself is extremely bizarre, as you've pointed out. I basically decided to wait until Monday to do anything about the article because emotions seem to be very high right now. (I also plan to re-evaluate the link I removed from the article, by the way.) I don't know that your experience is typical because I've never seen anyone act in the way this other user has. I really appreciate the work you've done on the articles, and I really hope this unpleasantness won't turn you off from editing. I will say that it's rare for a user to be involved here without getting into conflicts from time to time (I myself have been in several), but they're usually more... understandable, I guess? In short, I am sorry you feel the way you do and I hope it won't sour your experience on WP overall. Take a day off from editing and we'll revisit the issue on Monday. Cheers. -- Merope 00:59, 10 September 2006 (UTC)
Seven Deadly Sins
[edit]davidfmurphy, you appear to have by far the most in-depth knowledge on the history of the Seven Deadly Sins by people who've made contributions recently. I for one would welcome changes along the lines you suggested. There's no mention of Aquinas at all in the history section of the article at the moment, for example. Just be careful not to throw at the baby with the bathwater- I don't think the article in its current state is awful, but it should be a lot better. I look forward to seeing the new version!
