I don't edit much these days.
I'll generally reply to posts on the original page so as to keep discussion all in one place - let me know if you'd prefer something else.

Lutherans Leaving...
I can provide a lot of documentation to the effect that Lutheranism has historically seen itself as never having left the church. After all, I am a Lutheran pastor and work at a Lutheran seminary. I do not want to get into a very big debate over the subject. The paragraph was deeply biased and I do not see where the information is at all new, in light of the lead of the article.
Frankly, its been a long time since I've looked at this article. It is now a very big mess. Rather than microedit it, I'd prefer to punt the whole article and start over using, say, Encarta's Lutheranism article as a model as to what detail to include. We also should consider the summary style recommended by the
- If you want to try a new version of the paragraph, that's fine. I grant that you mean no disrespect. Please take into account that I'm a bit irritated that someone doesn't wish the article to say Lutherans believe in infant baptism. Please also take into account that one person's too close is another's expertise. So, for example, I do not know of a single text from a Lutheran of the sixteenth century that maintains Luther left the Church. If you know of one, kindly provide the reference. I'm not doubting that you have a Lutheran background, but simply because you've belonged to a Lutheran Church does not mean that you are correct on a historical point. For instance, most Lutherans think that the 95 Theses were a document of Luther's mature theology... --CTSWyneken(talk) 08:36, 9 December 2006 (UTC)
- I suspect as much. If the person wants to put in something about (Ana)baptist objections to the Lutheran view and can write it neutrally with citation, I do not have a problem with it, although it fits better in the ]

New Year
Hey. It's a new year, and I felt a little bad for going off like I did in the debate we had over at
- Fair enough. I'm willing to try for a more civil conversation in future, whatever the issue. Brennen 21:29, 6 January 2007 (UTC)

Notification: changes to "Mark my edits as minor by default" preference
Hello there. This is an automated message to tell you about the gradual phasing out of the preference entitled "Mark all edits minor by default", which you currently have (or very recently had) enabled.
On 13 March 2011, this preference was hidden from the user preferences screen as part of efforts to prevent its accidental misuse (consensus discussion). This had the effect of locking users in to their existing preference, which, in your case, was true
. To complete the process, your preference will automatically be changed to false
in the next few days. This does not require any intervention on your part and you will still be able to manually mark your edits as being 'minor'. The only thing that's changed is that you will no longer have them marked as minor by default.
For established users such as yourself there is a workaround available involving custom JavaScript. If you are familiar with the contents of
