William Branham page
@Darlig Gitarist: Are you an editor on any anti- William Branham websites? The reason I am asking is because I believe you are in violation of Wiki policies. As I have done on my posts to the talk page, please divulge YOUR connection to any related website(s), keep all your edits to the talk page, and do not edit any other Wikipedia page if your edit references William Branham. DEvans (talk) 20:38, 12 April 2018 (UTC) *I work for William Branham Ministries
- @DEvans:, I find your question and inferred allegation quite offensive. I am not sure what evidence led you to your conclusions. I choose to be anonymous on Wikipedia as many editors do BUT I can state with certainty that I am not in violation of any Wikipedia policy.
- Honestly, your message to me is in violation of general Wikipedia civility (see WP:CRY). You are looking for ghosts and the fact that my personal views are not in agreement with yours does not mean that I am somehow the editor of an anti-William Branham website. You might also read Wikipedia's policy on harassment (WP:HA). Darlig 🎸 Talk to me 20:28, 15 April 2018 (UTC)
- @Darlig Gitarist: This is the second time you have spoken for me about how I believe. How do you know that my personal views are not in agreement with yours? Asking someone on their talk page for more information because I believe they are associated with a website that puts them in violation of Wikipedia's advocacy and/or COI policy is the proper way to deal with a situation such as this. User talk pages not only give us more information about the user, but it is also a place to bring your attention to something you may not know that you are violating (see WP:Neutral point of view). I hope that we can resolve this issue here. I am not asking you to reveal your name or personal information, but according to WP:Advocacy and/or WP:Conflict of interest, it is important to answer my question.
- Are you or are you not an editor for a website that is dedicated to advocating either for or against William Branham? A simple yes or no answer will do. DEvans (talk) 15:12, 16 April 2018 (UTC)
- It is not important that I answer your questions. You state on Wikipedia that you are an employee of Voice of God Recordings (William Branham Ministries) as the Public Relations Manager. Given that you work for an NRM, I know that we will have significant conflicting views on a number of issues.
- What is important is I can state unequivocally that I am not in violation of either WP:Advocacy or WP:Conflict of interest. I have been an editor on Wikipedia for 12 years and I do not take lightly the questioning of my integrity. I hope you can appreciate as to how that impacts my view of you. Darlig 🎸 Talk to me 17:25, 16 April 2018 (UTC)
- On an unrelated note, quite a few editors who recently commented at Talk:William M. Branham were recently blocked for sockpuppetry, see WP:Sockpuppet investigations/Aarynn7/Archive. Do you know anything about that? Huon (talk) 00:06, 20 April 2018 (UTC)
- I am aware of the discussion on the Willianm Branham talk page. Darlig 🎸 Talk to me 00:28, 20 April 2018 (UTC)

Last month's auspicious relaunch of our newsletter precipitated something of an uproar in the Wikipedia community. What started as a localized edit war over censorship spilled over onto the Administrator's Noticeboard finally ending up at Wikipedia's supreme judicial body ArbCom. Their ruling resulted in the admonishment of administrator Future Perfect at Sunrise for his involvement in the dispute. The story was reported by Wikipedia's venerable flagship newspaper The Signpost.
The question of whether to delete all portals--including the 27 Christianity-related portals--was put to the Wikipedia community. Approximately 400 editors have participated in the protracted discussion. Going by !votes, Oppose deletion has a distinct majority. The original Christianity Portal was created on November 5, 2005 by Brisvegas and the following year he successfully nominated the portal for Featured Portal. The Transhumanist has revived WikiProject Portals with hopes of revitalizing Wikipedia's system of 1,515 portals.

Featured article
Nominated by Spangineer
Operation Auca was an attempt by five Evangelical Christian missionaries from the United States to make contact with the Huaorani people of the rainforest of Ecuador. The Huaorani, also known as the Aucas, were an isolated tribe known for their violence, both against their own people and outsiders who entered their territory. With the intention of being the first Protestants to evangelize the Huaorani, the missionaries began making regular flights over Huaorani settlements in September 1955, dropping gifts. After several months of exchanging gifts, on January 2, 1956, the missionaries established a camp at "Palm Beach", a sandbar along the Curaray River, a few miles from Huaorani settlements. Their efforts culminated on January 8, 1956, when all five—Jim Elliot, Nate Saint, Ed McCully, Peter Fleming, and Roger Youderian—were attacked and speared by a group of Huaorani warriors. The news of their deaths was broadcast around the world, and Life magazine covered the event with a photo essay. The deaths of the men galvanized the missionary effort in the United States, sparking an outpouring of funding for evangelization efforts around the world. Their work is still frequently remembered in evangelical publications, and in 2006, was the subject of the film production End of the Spear. (more...)
