Andre Cailloux

Thank you for your contribution of this article. I found it when I was editing the 1st Louisiana Native Guard article, which links to Captain Cailloux. I monitor Civil War articles as a part of the Civil War Task Force on Wikipedia, which is a group of editors that seek to continuously improve various articles. Use User:Hlj/CWediting as a guideline for future Civil War articles, and welcome aboard!!!! Scott Mingus 22:14, 29 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Hello from Tennessee

(In case you're not watching my talk page, which I also posted this reply.)

Hi Mpleahy, thanks for the note. It's nice to hear from someone with overlapping interests. I am actually approaching this from the Mexican point of view, and it's a little outside my usual time span. Most of my work has been on the colonial period in Mexico, but I'm hoping to exand that into 19th century independent Mexico. Rbraunwa 00:22, 1 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

There are a variety of interesting things to do within the project; you're free to participate however much—and wherever—you'd like:

Starting some new articles? Our article structure guidelines outline some things to include.
Interested in working on a more complete article? The military history peer review and collaboration departments would welcome your help!

Image:Southernexpress.jpg

I notice the copyright status of the image has been confirmed, but I think I still owe you an explanation as to why I tagged it as {{PUIdisputed}} when you re-uploaded it. The reason was that the artist's website did not appear to corroborate the {{GFDL}} template on the image page, hence I thought the image might not be GFDL-licensed as you claimed. In future, you can remove the possibility of this misunderstanding by linking to the copyright statement of the website you took the image from on the image's description page, with a statement similar to:

According to http://www.example.com/copyright.html, this image is licensed under GFDL (replace "GFDL" with the correct license).

(This is in addition to the placement of {{GFDL}} or another correct license template.)

Atheangelism

I have added a "{{prod}}" template to the article Atheangelism, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but I don't believe it satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and I've explained why in the deletion notice (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may contest the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page. Also, please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached.

If "atheistic evangelism" or "evangelical atheism" are much more conventional terms, shouldn't the article be renamed? I will later evaluate whether this theme is notable enough to warrant an article on Wikipedia, but for the time being, I'll let it stay. Julius Sahara 17:37, 8 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

RE: Atheistic Evangelism

Hi there, I have been looking over the article now and again and at stuff on the internet and today heard an interview with Richard Dawkins on NPR and I'm wondering how you would feel about a proposal to merge this article with the Atheism article? I do agree that it is a My feeling is that even with the name change it is still about a minor subset of the topic, Atheism rather than something unique enough for an article. Thanks in advance for your input!--killing sparrows 04:02, 29 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Response to Killing Sparrows

Killing Sparrows,

Sorry to take so long to respond. I note that "atheistic evangelism" is now part of the "anti-theism" page. I do object to this change.

"Anti-theism" is not a generally used term, indeed, it appears to be a term coined by atheists to soften the edge on atheism. Frankly, the term "atheistic evangelism" is more commonly used than the term "anti-theism" and I think taking down the "atheistic evangelism" page leaves Wikipedia open to the charge that it has an anti-Christian bias.

I would prefer to see "atheistic evangelism" remain as a separate article.

Thanks for asking for my thoughts, though.
