Hey, AE, just wanted to thank you for reverting that vandalism on the most important page in the entire encyclopedia. (
ThankSpam
Thank you for participating in my "RecFA", which passed with a final tally of 153/39/22. There were issues raised regarding my adminship that I intend to cogitate upon, but I am grateful for the very many supportive comments I received and for the efforts of certain editors (Ceoil, Noroton and Lar especially) in responding to some issues. I wish to note how humbled I was when I read Buster7's support comment, although a fair majority gave me great pleasure. I would also note those whose opposes or neutral were based in process concerns and who otherwise commented kindly in regard to my record. ~~~~~ |

Thank you for the kind welcome!
American Eagle, thanks for helping me through my first wikipedia article. I understand that if I can't prove notability, then heck, the article's gotta go. I'll do my best to provide the sources, and then I guess it'll be up to the editors!Asterioskokkinos (talk) 04:03, 28 May 2009 (UTC)

Thanks for the support
I would like to thank you for coming out and participating in my Request for Adminship, which closed unsuccessfully at (48/8/6) based on my withdrawal. I withdrew because in my opinion I need to focus on problems with my content contributions before I can proceed with expanding my responsibilities. Overall I feel that the RfA has improved me as an editor and in turn some articles which in my eyes is successful. Thank you again for your support. Cheers and happy editing. --kelapstick (talk) 18:35, 1 June 2009 (UTC)

The
Christian Zionist Film Categorization
Hey there, I've got a quick question for you... Someone has been categorizing several films as being Christian Zionist films, including the Left Behind films. I haven't seen the films, but just by judging from the synopsis's of them, I see no reason they should be categorized as such, going by the description of the Christian Zionism article. Should such categorizations be removed? I want to give the user that's been doing this the benefit of the doubt, but after looking at his user page and contributions, it really looks like the categorizations have been done from a quite non-neutral worldview... So anyway, I just wanted to get your opinion on it. I've been having the time lately to get back into the Christian Film Task Force that I practically abandoned for a few months. =) Blessings, Filmcom (talk) 14:02, 14 August 2009 (UTC)
- Alright, I think I'll go ahead and remove the articles from the category. Thanks for taking a look at it! Filmcom (talk) 01:58, 15 August 2009 (UTC)

Hey
I read your reasons for stepping away from Wikipedia and I can defiantly appreciate how hard that can be. I stepped away for the same reasons. The whole vandalism debate on Simple last year (which I freely admit was my fault) helped me to re-examine the way I was spending my time. And wouldn’t you know spending hours of every day editing Wikipedia isn’t exactly the most God-honoring thing to do :). Every now and then I’ll find myself wasting hours on end editing Wikipedia but God is kind to me and doesn’t let it last very long. I check back in every now and then to see what folks are up to and your user page was one that I checked. It was really encouraging to see that you had made the same decision! --
- Hey, Andrew! I was just thinking about you yesterday! How great it is to hear from you. Thank you for your message, and I fully agree. Wikipedia is a great resource, and can be fun if used correctly, but it can really be a waste of time. It became too much of an addiction for me, so I had to give it up (to God). I still edit here occasionally (mostly to work on Christian films), but it's no longer pulling me away from God! I'm not bound by the same pull it had on me before. Praise Him! It's great to hear from you again, and thanks for explaining your changed username. :) American Eagle (talk) 21:02, 7 October 2009 (UTC)

Film categorisation
i've noticed that you are redefining movie categories, primarily away from christian/catholic films. I think that this removes relevant categorisation information. I think the solution would be for you to create several categories: "christian films", "films about christianity", "catholic films", "films about catholicism", etc. It's going to be highly debatable if these films fall into those categories or not as the perspective on what a christian is varies considerablyUtopial (talk) 05:31, 24 November 2009 (UTC)
- Thanks for looking at cleaning up this category. I looked at it a few weeks ago out of interest, so it's good to see that it's being maintained. Just be careful if u try create new categories - u dont want it to end up being a value judgement on if the director/producer/film is christian-like. Kierkegaard wrote critically of christianity, but was a christian himself and proposed a new approach/form of christianity.
- I think a few of the films you removed from the christian category have some christian relevance: "Brother Sun, Sister Moon" (st francis' philosophy), "Quo Vadis" (christian persecution, christian generosity & conversion), "Andrei Rublev" (banned in atheist Soviet Union due to religious themes)Utopial (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 09:47, 24 November 2009 (UTC).

Everyone of those articles was basically a promo filled with trivia and unencyclopedic drivel such as Facebook and Twitter links, along with plenty of unsourced content before I edited them down. Other than the film Fireproof (and possibly Facing the Giants), none of them have any credit to notability - they were simply promotionals for Sherwood Films and related. Please read
) 04:04, 14 December 2009 (UTC)I agree that it probably is notable and should be kept however I'm not in a position to do a lot of work on it now and SuaveArt is intent on deleting it so unless you or perhaps some other editors who favor Christian movies works on it then it will most likely go under for now. Keep up the good work, by the way. Invmog (talk) 01:41, 15 December 2009 (UTC)
- *sigh* There's so much to do... I wish this all would've never happened. But, I'll go ahead and do some research on Flywheel; it should be overhauled and sourced soon. Thanks for the encouragement, and the same to you. :) American Eagle (talk) 02:00, 15 December 2009 (UTC)
Thank you so much, American Eagle, you've basically single-handedly saved the Flywheel article and I'll support you and put in some work myself if they keep trying to delete it. Soli Deo Gloria! Invmog (talk) 03:35, 15 December 2009 (UTC)
- You're very welcome! I'm a fan of Christ-honoring films, so it's my pleasure working on them. I think most of this Sherwood Pictures conundrum has been taken care of. :) Flywheel has been shown fully notable, and it looks good-to-go, plsu I don't see any other issues on the other articles. Thankfully. ;) In Christ alone, American Eagle (talk) 05:09, 15 December 2009 (UTC)
Redlinks in lists

List of Christian films
You'll note the work I've done on this list. My intent is to highlight movies put out by Jefferson Moore's studio Kelly's Filmworks, that have also been Christ-honoring films. Maybe not to the wide distribution of Sherwood Pictures flicks, but still very well done. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.248.33.198 (talk • contribs) 15:34, January 1, 2010
I would definitely appreciate some input in eventually developing the pages that go along with these "Redlinks".
Oh yes, I failed to mention in my first note....these have been pages I have developed in the past, but got marked for deletion due to their lack of noteriety. Rather than keep them out there, I wished to get them in better shape before placing them out there a second time. Any hints on building noteworthy pages would be much appreciated.
- Sorry for not replying more quickly. 98.248.33.198, I don't know about redlinks in lists. reliable sources that back up the good information you write about. If you create an article about a film, drop me a note and I'd love to help out when I can! Blessings on you both. :) American Eagle (talk) 03:44, 5 January 2010 (UTC)
Thanks for the hints. Nice to meet you as well. And good work on the "The Perfect Stranger (film)" entry!
AIO Episodes
Hey AE, I can do wikitext, but wikipedia's documentation and policies are a lttle too confusing ... do you have any ideas on how we could revamp this list incorporating something like this? I'm not sure if the sources are acceptable, and/or if new pages should be used for each season, etc. The list can be made for all other seasons besides the example one as well. Erwin Springer [talk] 02:41, 5 January 2010 (UTC)
- Yeah, that looks very good! I don't have the time to work on it myself, but everything looks perfect thus far. Those sources are unneeded (and The Odyssey Scoop isn't an acceptable source), so remove them. Otherwise, it looks great! I think that individual pages for the seasons would be deleted. Each season wouldn't be considered notable anyway... that's all I have to say. ;) Good work! American Eagle (talk) 03:37, 5 January 2010 (UTC)

Irony
Noted here. I mean, good gosh, the guy has a page (such as it is) on Rotten Tomatoes[1], so obviously that means he's notable! Right? Isn't Rotten Tomatoes a mark of notability according to - *ahem* - certain people? Seregain (talk) 04:47, 24 January 2010 (UTC)
- I agree. When the user's dealing with Christian films, they must be held to a perfect standard: Rotten Tomatoes reviews, many non-Christian sources, etc. But when an article he likes is nominated, sources don't really matter, self-published ones are okay, and it doesn't have to be "mainstream" anymore; what? Tracy Goode should've been kept, and the skeptic Bible shouldn't be. *sigh* American Eagle (talk) 04:57, 24 January 2010 (UTC)

"If my article deleted then this one should too" - that sort of conflicts with what you commented on the AFD).

- As for "Christian sources", they don't convey a general notability since they are fringe sources and often very biased and purposely inaccurate, so articles based on Christian sources alone should be subject to more scrutiny than normal sources, since Wikipedia is dedicated to establishing a broader degree of notability, not just notability within some fringe circle.--SuaveArt (talk) 08:31, 24 January 2010 (UTC)
- SuaveArt, please answer me this. You say Christian news publications don't convey a general notability to the subject. Why then are sources like this and this (both self-published), and this (a self-proclaimed "educational group dedicated to supporting local atheists" website) allowed? I neither "vote stacked" nor claimed Tracy Goode should be kept simply because another article was kept, so I won't replty to either false accusations.
