Many thanks for the translation. --Mcginnly 11:16, 28 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for completing the article; I took a look and made some minor copyedits, great work! (Patrick 02:15, 27 June 2006 (UTC))[reply]

Thank you very much!! (I know this it late, but I do really appreciate your work). -RobbyPrather (talk) 04:24, 14 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

There are proposed merger tags on both article pages now, with the discussion taking place at

• Thanks. I'll try to go by there for some photos this week. Bistropha (talk) 21:46, 3 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Very nice! --Aepoutre (talk) 00:24, 5 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

On February 12, 2009, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Annunciation Melkite Catholic Cathedral, which you created or substantially expanded. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the Did you know? talk page.

Excellent photo! --Boston (talk) 01:18, 5 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, Well it may be in AAS, but as is, Wikipedia seems to be the only source on the web and a whole pile of other sites have picked up that fact. I wonder what will happen if someone invents an encyclical for a pope with a title that sounds real and adds it to Wikipedia. In time, it will be "truth"... I think Wikipedia needs professional fact checkers. I am no theologian, so I can not check all of Leo XIIIs items, but on computer science items, I also see serious quality problems.... I have started adding a few page for encyclicals on the Vatican site - not that I have time to add them all, but at least we need to hope for a job category called fact checker I think.

• I'd love that job. If it's any mitigation: from what I can tell, the only sites picking up the reference to "Parte humanae generi" are sites that automatically copy everything in Wikipedia, so it's probably not really propagating into derived works written by human beings. Exception: the WP article "Mariology of the Popes" mentions the document too, so it's possible that the unsourced assertion in Pope Leo XIII influenced that article. Bistropha (talk) 19:49, 5 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I think over time, it may get into other documents. The strange thing is that if that is a real document, no one else mentions it. Usually EWTN, some other Church site, some GoogleBooks item etc. will find it. If GoogleBooks can not find it, it is misspelt, or wrong, wit 70% confidence on my part. And, it would not be hard to write a simple program/bot to check that type of thing. I think Wikipedia is short on technology and heavy on knowledge... But that is another story.

User 68.80.184.155 apparently has some unexplained beef about the External Links on the article Reformed Episcopal Church, and has been deleting and/or vandalizing one of the links, three times so far in March, including today. I have left messages on the article's talk page to invite the user to discussion, but there was no response, only another bad edit. How can/should I proceed from here? I will leave a message on the talk page for that IP address to see if there's a response. Thanks. Bistropha (talk) 19:40, 10 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The vandal needs to vandal multiple articles before you can report it to AIV. I'd suggest you to continue to revert the changes, making note on the edit summary that it you are reverting vandalism to prevent misunderstanding on potential 3RR issues. - Jameson L.

• Thanks. Bistropha (talk) 19:55, 10 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, further to the above - I can't see the bit in talk where you've discussed it; which section is it in? --  Chzz  ►  19:57, 10 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

• See Talk:Reformed Episcopal Church#Doctrinal controversies for my comment (19:34, 9 March). Since I posted the adminhelp request, the anonymous user has revised his latest edit and made it acceptable, so I'm satisfied now. I left a note at User_talk:68.80.184.155 to thank the user for repairing the sarcastic edit. Bistropha (talk) 20:02, 10 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • OK, cool. I was going to suggest you try speaking to the user, if you hadn't - it was a very long talk page, so the user might not have seen it. Glad it's all ok. Happy editing, --  Chzz  ►  20:49, 10 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Going to redirect this article to Catholicism in Israel. --Opus88888 (talk) 23:12, 29 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. I was glad to see you looking at enhancing the article. Let me know if you would like to split the work; my sister just entered, so I'm interested in helping improve the information about them available online. Thanks! –Paul M. Nguyen (chat|blame) 20:03, 28 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, Paul. It would be good to see more improvements to the Dominican Sisters of St. Cecilia article (NPOV material, references, etc.) I'm in school now and a bit too busy to try to coordinate the task, so feel free to do as much as is convenient for you. Seeing your mini-bio, I'm sure we'll meet in person sometime (I know the music director at St. Clement's and sing there occasionally for events.) God bless-- --Bistropha (talk) 04:54, 29 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Last August you created an article about
