I have answered your question about Aachen on my talk. andy 17:23, 12 Feb 2005 (UTC)

Jesus, pre-4th century Christianity, and syncretism[edit]

I have added a comment on the VfD page. See Wikipedia:Votes for deletion/Jesus, pre-4th century Christianity, and syncretism#Discussion about the merge. If I could find out which bits to merge, I'd be very grateful for feedback! - Ta bu shi da yu 11:56, 23 Feb 2005 (UTC)

That was a pretty horrible thing you said you know.[edit]

Did you actually bother to investigate CheeseDreams? did you check her ArbCom cases? Did you check how she deliberately and spitefully vandalised my user page? Did you bother to read any of the things I wrote? Where do you get off saying I enjoyed having CheeseDreams banned? I didn't do that: CD did that via her editing practices and disruption of Wikipedia. - Ta bu shi da yu 15:19, 25 Feb 2005 (UTC)

Say what?! Look mate, I'm disputing the article, not CheeseDreams. The article is an essay written from an assumption (and in fact pretty much stated as "fact") that Jesus was the "new sycretism". This is, to put it frankly, quite far from the truth and though the info should be stated that such and such stated such and such, there should not be an entire article, especially one like CheeseDreams created. Why do you think I'm not opposing that a merge be done? Sheesh. You'd think I'm trying to destroy CheeseDreams life works or something. - Ta bu shi da yu 15:47, 25 Feb 2005 (UTC)

I would NPOV the article if I could. I can't. Why? Because the material isn't reference properly. Incidently, don't hold your breath for CheeseDreams to come back. She posted her password to a known trolls page and forced another admin to log in to her account quickly and change the password. She no longer has access to her account! In fact, we found 5 verified sock puppets of CheeseDreams (all with the same password) and she no longer has access to these accounts. You might want to note that I did start adding material: I have created an article The Two Babylons, which I encourage you to help me make more complete (I've only done the first two sections - and not even that). In the process I edited the article to clear up some misconceptions of CheeseDreams (like for instance she called Alexander Hislop a "scholar", which he most certainly wasn't).

However, I'm not sure how much time I have for you. I'm a little confused personally. The other day I was accused by a Stormfront member of being a traitor to the white race and/or a Jew, however today you tell me I'm a Nazi. Would you people please make up your minds? I'm getting mighty confused. - Ta bu shi da yu 17:20, 25 Feb 2005 (UTC)

Personal attacks[edit]

I mentioned it before, now I'll say it here. Please do not make personal attacks on your fellow editors. This includes comparing them to Nazis or making other allegations or implications regarding their personal character, as you did recently regarding TBSDY. If your position has merit, you should be able to establish your position on its own merits without resorting to such attacks. Article talk pages are (in general) intended for discussing how best to improve the article. VfD talk pages are for discussing reasons for and against deleting articles. They are not for discussing editors. Also, please don't demand that other editors do your research for you. We all do what we can, we're all thankful for what others can contribute, but that's about as far as it goes. Wesley 05:08, 27 Feb 2005 (UTC)
