Hello, Tryptofish! We are looking for editors to join the Smithsonian Institution collaboration, an outreach effort which aims to support collaboration such as Wiki-Academies, article writing, and other activities to engage the Smithsonian Institution in Wikipedia. We thought you might be interested, and hope that you will join us. Thanks!!! |
- Thank you very much for thinking of me. It looks like an excellent project. Geographically, it is not practical for me to get to the Institution in person, and I normally do not do much editing on pages directly related to it, so I'm probably not going to be able to offer much help, but I definitely can offer you my best wishes for success. --Tryptofish (talk) 19:20, 1 July 2010 (UTC)
Hi Tryptofish, rewriting morality section in Atheism
Okay the part where we state the bible justfies torture and slavery. the word torture jumps out at me because I really don't remember the bible explicitly (or repeatedly) justifying torture, other than an hypothesized hell of course. and even that's not emphasized nearly as much as old-line preachers choose to emphasize it. What might you think of a change?
How about "massacres and slavery"? For there were many parts in the old testament where the Israelites were supposedly instructed to go into some area adn kill every man, woman, and child, and even the beasts in the fields. Wow. and they were supposedly "disobedient" when they didn't do so.
But, but, here's a problem. The reference given:
101 Ethical Dilemmas, 2nd edition, by Cohen, M., Routledge 2007, pp184-5. (Cohen notes particularly that Plato and Aristotle produced arguments in favour of slavery.)
it's just a bare reference, with nothing you can click on.
I have also added to a line of argumentation with two smaller, non-marquee religions. I particularly like the example of the Bahá'ís, progressive when it was formed in the mid-1800s, today, maybe not so much. FriendlyRiverOtter (talk) 21:33, 16 July 2010 (UTC)
- Thanks for discussing this with me here. I cannot find the part of that section that says those things, so I'm not sure exactly what you are proposing here. I'd like to suggest that you, instead, raise issues about what material to add, at the talk page of the article, instead of my talk page, because there may likely be other editors there who will also have input that they can make.
- I've looked at your most recent edits about this, and I think that I am reluctantly going to have to partially revert them. Please let me explain that my reasons for doing so are that they are unsourced and appear to be WP:OR. Sorry about that. --Tryptofish (talk) 21:43, 16 July 2010 (UTC)
Thanks for the welcome!
Hi there. Thanks for the welcome. Been reading the FAQ's and such for ages and I decided to start off with a few simple edits to ease myself into things here. I noticed you re-ordered the list on the gardening page about the same time I added Growbag. Hope I didn't get in your way while I was doing that... Haven't yet worked out how to determine if someone else is editing a page. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Lunawisp (talk • contribs) 21:09, 22 July 2010 (UTC)
- My pleasure. In fact, you didn't get in my way at all. I decided to reorder them when your edit showed up on my watchlist. So, in fact, it was your edit that stimulated my edit. There's no way to know when someone else is editing at the same time you are, but sooner or later, everyone runs into edit conflicts. Best, --Tryptofish (talk) 21:13, 22 July 2010 (UTC)
Hi again. While looking around I've come across some broken internal links (wikilinks). While there seems to be lots of advice in the FAQ's on dealing with broken external links, I haven't yet managed to locate anything helping with broken internal ones. I was looking at Julien Frier and managed to fix one link where, presumably, someone had changed a date format or just entered it incorrectly but I've had no luck with the others on that page. I was wondering if you could give me some advice on the best way to deal with these sorts of issues. Many thanks. --Lunawisp (talk) 11:14, 25 July 2010 (UTC)
- Sure. There's no general solution that I know of, more a matter of figuring out what the correct name of the page in question is. Sometimes I start by typing what I think might be the page name into the search box, and seeing what comes up, and sometimes it's a matter of looking at related or linked pages and seeing if any of those link to what you are looking for, or going to the category pages for the categories at the bottom of the page you are editing. But in the example you gave, it turns out that there's a real convenient solution. Click through to the season page whose link you were able to add successfully, and then scroll down to near the bottom of that page. There, you'll find a template box that links to the previous and the succeeding seasons, which, in turn, have boxes linking on from them. Just follow those links to the ones you want, and select, copy, and paste the page name. I make a habit of copy-pasting these things, to avoid typos. --Tryptofish (talk) 17:28, 25 July 2010 (UTC)
