Augustine of Hippo

Hi, could you check Augustine of Hippo as it seems user Cgarbarino is permanently deleting sourced material and is trying to impose his non Neutral point of view. Jpm1706 (talk) 05:46, 6 July 2010 (UTC)

I admire your tenacity and persistence! Thanks! Etan J. Tal 16:58, 7 July 2010 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by Etan J. Tal (talk • contribs)

Thanks! Please remember to sign your comments with four tildes, ~~~~ Jayjg ^(talk) 17:45, 7 July 2010 (UTC)

I always do that, but alas - somehow it never results in the desired outcome. for example - when typing the four tildes signature: Etan J. Tal 21:07, 8 July 2010 (UTC) the preview shows my user name, but the final saved version will probably be marked "—Preceding unsigned comment added by Etan J. Tal (talk • contribs)".

Kent, Ohio religion

Thanks for your comments and suggestions for the FAC on Kent, Ohio. I am looking for information on religious adherents in Kent as you requested and was wondering your opinion on Sperling's as a reliable source. I didn't see anything in the archives of WP:RSN about it specifically and noticed you had made comments about city-data.com, a similar site. Here is the specific link: http://neighborhoods.rdesk.com/city/Kent-Ohio.aspx#. Just click on "Religion" and a chart showing percentages of various religions shows up. I'm personally not sold on this as a reliable source since nothing on the page shows where it came from, though Sperling's does state in a paragraph where their data comes from for the entire site here. My problem is that I cannot find this data in any other location, at least online. Appreciate your thoughts and thanks for your time! --JonRidinger (talk) 05:06, 8 July 2010 (UTC)

Sorry, I wouldn't consider this a reliable source. However, there are sources on religion in Ohio. Here is a book that discusses Islam in Kent, including population estimates, and gives information about various other religions too. This pdf has an estimate of the Akron-Kent Jewish population in 2006 (see page 187). I'm not sure if you'll be able to find everything you need, but I think it's at least worth a look. Jayjg ^(talk) 05:25, 8 July 2010 (UTC)

Thanks. I didn't think it would pass reliable source either since it lacks a date for the data in addition to the source, so I'm glad to hear it from someone else. The lack of available data is probably why I've never bothered to put anything together as I didn't think a section just listing the various churches in Kent was that informative or needed. I will check out the links you provided and appreciate your efforts. --JonRidinger (talk) 05:28, 8 July 2010 (UTC)

Leo Frank

Machn, as he continues his quest to insert any negative info (real or imagined) he can get his hands on into the article, has now used a reference whose full title is The celebrated case of the State of Georgia vs. Leo Frank ; The official record in the case of Leo Frank, a Jew pervert. See [1]. Might also have violated 3rr, haven't checked specifically. I don't know if a block or topic ban is in order, but something to stop this would be good. Thanks. IronDuke 02:38, 11 July 2010 (UTC)

Jayg and IronDuke, I've posted a mea maxima culpa for you to contend with at Machn's Talk page. I understand now that I was wrong to accuse him of this -- he's not guilty. I await your decision as to "what now" with sincerest apologies. LaNaranja (talk) 05:50, 12 July 2010 (UTC)

As I explained there, the main issue raised relates to a general pattern of editing and inappropriate and almost certainly false Talk: page comments. He wasn't blocked just because of the title of that work. Jayjg ^(talk) 00:28, 13 July 2010 (UTC)

Franz Vohwinkel

Hi Jayjg, In general if something is relisted and then a !vote goes toward keep, it's pretty hard to argue that there isn't at least a lack of consensus. As there are sources and the discussion clearly leaned toward keeping it I'd say it was a pretty clear keep, though NC wouldn't be unreasonable. Ah well, I realize you likely won't be changing your mind, but I'm required to come here before a DrV. Thanks. Hobit (talk) 19:53, 12 July 2010 (UTC)

Hi Hobit,

As you know, an AfD is a discussion, not a vote. I think my closing statement was pretty clear; I deleted based on the weight of the arguments, not based on a raw head count. But if you feel my assessment was in error, please feel free to bring it to WP:DRV. Jayjg ^(talk) 05:29, 13 July 2010 (UTC)

Nope, I understand entirely. I think that having such a large (and it is massive) body of work is a strong claim of notability and I felt the discussion clearly reflected that opinion. No, it doesn't meet WP:N, that's clear. But it's a really strong case for IAR. Again, I don't know if you understand but he's probably got art in 10% of US households and probably a larger % of German house holds. I'm a fairly avid gamer though not extreme and I own 50+ bits of his work and at least 3 things he was the art director for. So last time (as my last request wasn't very clear as I was grouchy at the time), I think the discussion clearly showed that folks feel he is notable and I think there are facts that justify that opinion even though he doesn't meet WP:N. Thanks, Hobit (talk) 13:29, 13 July 2010 (UTC)

Yes, that was certainly an argument that you made on the AfD page, and I respect it; I even cited it positively in my close. However, I felt (and still feel) that the weight of the arguments went the other way. Jayjg ^(talk) 01:51, 14 July 2010 (UTC)

Thanks, I'll head off to DrV with it later... Hobit (talk) 04:39, 14 July 2010 (UTC)

The Nine Days

Hi Jay: Since this is now the time, would it be possible for you to review and add or in any way improve The Nine Days article. Please find more sources as well. Thanks in advance. Sincerely, IZAK (talk) 05:23, 13 July 2010 (UTC)

I'll try to take a look. Jayjg ^(talk) 05:31, 13 July 2010 (UTC)
