Edit war warning
Your recent editing history at Ai (Canaan) shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war. To resolve the content dispute, please do not revert or change the edits of others when you are reverted. Instead of reverting, please use the talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. The best practice at this stage is to discuss, not edit-war. See BRD for how this is done. If discussions reach an impasse, you can then post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.
Being involved in an edit war can result in your being blocked from editing—especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring—even if you don't violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.

- Korvex, you're feeling frustrated and that frustration is leading you to do things that I think you wouldn't normally do. Remember above all that Wikipedia doesn't matter, it's just words. Other things in the real world matter, not this. So if you want to go on editing Wikipedia (it can be fun), stay calm and cultivate detachment. And always remember that the other person is probably just as human as you are. PiCo (talk) 00:55, 4 February 2017 (UTC)
Please don't accuse me or anyone of slander
Knock it off please. It only makes you look silly. If I found an editor I didn't know saying that about someone else, I'd probably tell them to retract it or be blocked for what might be considered a legal threat. You've got every right to disagree with my criticisms, no right to accuse me of doing something illegal. Doug Weller talk 14:27, 11 February 2017 (UTC)
- Perhaps the use of the word "slander" was an exaggeration, but I do think false statements were made about me. I also exaggerate some of the things I say a lot, so I should perhaps put in a disclaimer or something. LOL
- It wasn't about you, you said I was slandering scholars. Criticising, yes. Slander, no. Doug Weller talk 18:40, 11 February 2017 (UTC)
Knock off the personal attacks
Your comments about Tgeorgescu are unconscionable. You've got to stop this. Doug Weller talk 19:39, 4 March 2017 (UTC)
- Nothing I said was an attack on Tgeorg. I simply attacked the wacky idea that if one accepts the Bible is true, they should conclude that they should worship Zulu instead of Jesus. I attacked the idea, not the person -- such criticisms are always acceptable. I never swore either, of course.Korvex (talk) 00:13, 5 March 2017 (UTC)
- "sold yourself to pure fundamentalism" is personal. As was "utterly entered the recesses of the fringe." As is "Zero has taken the literally mad view that Doherty". All are clear attacks and do not show an acceptance that they are good faith editors. Using such language is anything but conducive to a collegial atmosphere, no matter how tyoy chop it. Doug Weller talk 08:00, 5 March 2017 (UTC)]
- Take a closer look at the discussion, Doug -- I'd be hardpressed to say that invoking Zulu as an explanation for biblical miracles is anything but the recesses of fringe, according to how Wikipedia defines it. I'd like to assume good faith for Theorg, but when he says something like that it's hard to interpret it otherwise. Zulu as en explanation for biblical miracles is also a mad view and pure fundamentalism. My statements are correct -- the only question is if whether or not I could have been 'nicer', but it's hard to convey to someone they are making such an error without putting their views down.Korvex (talk) 13:37, 5 March 2017 (UTC)
- There are polite ways to disagree with someone. Zulu was attempting to make some kind of point about the nature of miraculous explanations by using a deliberately far-fetched example. If you think his thought experiment doesn't make sense, you could easily say "Your thought experiment doesn't make sense" without resorting to needlessly harsh language. The same goes for your repeated dismissal of people's arguments by saying "LOL." Wikipedia is a community of volunteers who are all trying to work together to make the world's largest and most-used encyclopedia better. It's a volunteer project, not a YouTube comments section. Attacking the other volunteers isn't going to help anything, especially if you find yourself in a situation where you're trying to bring them over to your point of view on something.

POV edit at Ai (Canaan))
You wrote "However,scholars are not entirely certain that Et-Tell is the location of Ai. Koert van Bekkum says that there is scholarly discussion on the location of several biblical cities, including Ai,[1] citing Bryant G. Wood who has recently come to identify Ai with Khirbet el-Maqatir." Did you actually read your source? I have, I think, two choices. One is to believe that you didn't and you got this from elsewhere. The other is to believe that you did and misrepresented it, violating NPOV by ignoring the fact that what the source actually says is "The stratification of Jericho is complex, but it looks as if the conclusion that the city was uninhabited during the Late Bronze Age is hard to avoid.113 Et-Tell, identified by most scholars with the city of Ai, was not settled between the Early Bronze and Iron Age I." Oh sure, he then says "In some of these cases, this interpretation of the evidence is challenged or the identification of the excavated mounds with the biblical cities is questioned." and cites not just Wood by Livingston also. He then adds "But although a number of the alternative proposals may be plausible, none of them is entirely convincing. Most of the time the claims of the biblical account are more or less modified, and the material remains are tended to be looked upon as tangible proof of what is supposed to have happened. As a result, the conclusions find clear support in neither the Bible nor archaeology. Therefore, the debates about the non-existing cities show that in the case of the conquest, archaeology can not function as undisputed ‘external evidence’." Your edit misrepresents the source.

Project News
By Lionelt
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.

When God Writes Your Love Story: The Ultimate Approach to Guy/Girl Relationships is a 1999 book by Eric and Leslie Ludy, an American married couple. After becoming a bestseller on the Christian book market, the book was republished in 2004 and then revised and expanded in 2009. It tells the story of the authors' first meeting, courtship, and marriage. The authors advise single people not to be physically or emotionally intimate with others, but to wait for the spouse that God has planned for them.
The book is divided into five sections and sixteen chapters. Each chapter is written from the perspective of one of the two authors; nine are by Eric, while Leslie wrote seven, as well as the introduction. The Ludys argue that one's love life should be both guided by and subordinate to one's relationship with God. Leslie writes that God offers new beginnings to formerly unchaste or sexually abused individuals.
