September 2011

Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, your addition of one or more external links to the page Comma Johanneum has been reverted.
Your edit here to Comma Johanneum was reverted by an automated bot that attempts to remove links which are discouraged per our external links guideline. The external link(s) you added or changed (http://www.avdefense.webs.com/wallace.html) is/are on my list of links to remove and probably shouldn't be included in Wikipedia.
If you were trying to insert an external link that does comply with our policies and guidelines, then please accept my creator's apologies and feel free to undo the bot's revert. However, if the link does not comply with our policies and guidelines, but your edit included other, constructive, changes to the article, feel free to make those changes again without re-adding the link. Please read Wikipedia's external links guideline for more information, and consult my list of frequently-reverted sites. For more information about me, see my FAQ page. Thanks! --XLinkBot (talk) 08:55, 5 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Comma

Your work in Comma is really nice. Perhaps there are no more errors (Codex Legionensis was described as palimpsest, several wrong manuscrits, etc.). I have created seven articles, you can see them here: Template:Did you know nominations/Codex Ravianus. Leszek Jańczuk (talk) 19:38, 29 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, Leszek. I'm learning to really try to do my homework before making any scholarly substantive changes.

Your articles look great, however so far I am not really fully up to speed on the manuscript issues. I 'll try to take a closer look, I have noticed a number of corrections you have made, which are nice to see.

There is always room for tweaking, the manuscript area is now the strongest part of the article. I've been focusing on removing errors, adding references very relevant but missing, with a special emphasis on early church writer accuracy, and removing some POV out of place, especially things like the presumptions of insertion. Also clarifying doctrinal perspectives that are often subjective, wrong or anachronistic. There is a lot more that could be done in an overall sense, factual accuracy and sensible tone is the main initial goal.

The Preexisting Material on the Discussion Page Has Been Returned to the Page

Mr. Avery, if you want to add comments to the discussion page for the Comma Johanneum article, then do so. But do NOT delete the preexisting material. I have reverted the discussion page to what it was before you replaced the entire discussion page with your own comments. This version contains the preexisting material plus a few comments that you added to it. If you want to add your other comments as well, then do so. But do NOT delete the preexisting material. 7Jim7 (talk) 16:31, 12 October 2011 (UTC) [reply]

Hi, Jim. Please be specific as to what material you think I deleted. Even better, can you find it in the log of my edits ? That would be helpful. Afaik, I deleted absolutely zero material of any poster, so I am rather curious. You can respond on the Johannine Comma page. Thanks.

I Am Sorry. I Was Wrong. You Did Nothing Wrong.

Mr. Avery, I am sorry that I misunderstood that an automatic archive of older discussion material had been performed by Miszabot. I went back into the "history" of the discussion page for the Comma Johanneum article and returned the page (hopefully) to the way that I found it. The older discussion (which I had thought had been deleted) can be viewed by clicking the "archive 1" or "archive 2" buttons. I apologize for falsely accusing you of having deleted the old discussion material. 7Jim7 (talk) 04:28, 13 October 2011 (UTC) [reply]

When I thought that you had deleted the preexisting discussion material, I voiced my complaint at the Carm.org King James Only discussion forum in a thread titled " Wikipedia Discussion Page Vandalism, Comma Johanneum." I have recently added a message to that thread explaining that you had done nothing wrong and that I had falsely accused you, and I have voiced the same explanation in a new thread in that forum titled "Mr. Avery Did Nothing Wrong. I Misunderstood. I'm Sorry." Not only was I wrong to falsely accuse you, but also I was wrong to involve the people at Carm in my false accusation of you. I wronged them in addition to wronging you. Again, I am sorry. Jim. 7Jim7 (talk) 05:31, 13 October 2011 (UTC) [reply]

Thanks, Jim. Apology accepted.

Simply be more careful in the future. It's true that you had a real concern, and it was proper to express that concern, first here in the discussion forums. However, then you have to wait and see, before considering other venues. All fine now. StevenAvery.ny (talk) 06:29, 14 October 2011 (UTC) [reply]
