Hi Nashhinton

This is Will just got your message, I copy and pasted your statement here so we can continue a dialogue if need be...

No offense, but I thought your last edit on the article "Christian Eschatology" was careless. You say "cite sources", yet you brought up a previous article that lacks citations and sources, just as the previous article lacked sources. There's more to christian eschatology than what the current page says. Just out of curiosity, is there a better previous edit that you can find? If so that would be appreciated. Thanks.

PS If you need to speak to me, just send me a personal message. Thanks. Nashhinton

First off no offense taken. Regarding your statement as the version I brought up lacks sources, yes I agree, but it has about the same amount of sources at the other version and it is 1/5 the size. Thus, I'm trimming the original research. I 100% agree that what I reverted to is not an A++ article quality, but it is starting point, where concerned users such as yourself who are looking to improve the article can add material and build the article up.

Regarding your question "Just out of curiosity, is there a better previous edit that you can find?" I really can't find one. I'm simply looking for cited material, and the past versions generally lack such. Also hopefully a balance can be added to this article. Thanks & hope no offense was taken. Willfults (talk)

I have moved the discussion about your concern with the article on the Intelligent design movement to that article's discussion page. Discussion of improvements or changes to particular articles gets more appropriate exposure in the relevant article's talk space. __ Just plain Bill (talk) 13:55, 26 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I saw your discussion with user Rjensen and thought you'd be interested in knowing who he is and what he's written. This, of course, doesn't make him an expert. :) (I actually disagree with quite a bit of what he's written.) Yopienso (talk) 20:55, 4 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Is the KJV translating nephilim as "giants" in Gen.6:4? That seems to link up with Numbers, where the nephilim are clearly giants ("we were as grasshoppers in their sight", the spies report to Moses). So I imagine that's why the KJV editors translated "nephilim" as "giants". So did the translators of the Greek Septuagint, which the KJV editors had at their elbows. Reasonable enough.

You might like to look at Victor Hamilton's commentary on Genesis where he talks about this verse - see pages 261 and following. You'll also find a little bit in Townley's commentary, around page 79 - not so useful as Hamilton, but worth reading.

One of the great commentaries, one that can't be avoided, is Von Rad: See Von Rad, pages 113 onward. A bit dense, but worth re-reading till you get all he has to say.

Clearer perhaps is Matthews, p.335 and after. He notes that one possible meaning of "nephilim" is warriors who had fallen in battle (that's meaning of the very similar word in Ezekiel). It's only a guide, though - the nephilim in Numbers are very much alive, as are the ones in Genesis. Matthews is probably the first one you should read, and Von Rad the last.

All up, the KJV editors were translating Nephilim as "giants" because the Greek text did it that way, and the Greeks did it that way because the nephilim in Numbers are clearly giants, but nephilim means "fallen ones", and the nephilim in Numbers aren't "fallen", and nobody really knows what the word meant.PiCo (talk) 08:20, 10 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I understand exactly what you meant by tagging on quality. Why not also say quantity? Those things are implicit in goods and services. It's actually misleading to put quality there. In a free market EVERYTHING is determined through subjective values. That's what distinguishes it from bureaucracy that try to find objective values. That's what a price is. Mises' criticism of controlled markets is there lack of price system. The emphasis in the economic laws of supply and demand is price. This seems like a minor point but you should take quality thing out dude. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Rothbardanswer (talk • contribs) 16:06, 26 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

A discussion is taking place as to whether the article Cultural anarchism is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.

The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Cultural anarchism until a consensus is reached, and anyone is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.

Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion notice from the top of the article. Taroaldo (talk) 23:16, 8 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Cultural anarchism, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Drug use (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Okay, that's fine, I just like testing the waters whenever I create articles that come to mind.

However, It wasn't meant to be self-promotional and I thought it was pretty objective. It probably wasn't a necessary article (I don't want to waste data for Wikipedia servers). I'm a secular Biblical scholar (an atheist and I'm fascinated with religious texts).

I do think the text about the ten horns is very ambiguous. If it was actually self-promotional, I wouldn't have added various Christian viewpoints into the article.

In my honest opinion, I think the article is a failed prophecy regarding the disintegration of the Roman Empire during John's time and was rehashed from another failed prophecy written by the author of the book of Daniel. Nashhinton (talk) 02:14, 6 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, I'm Graeme Bartlett. Nashhinton, thanks for creating The Saturn Myth!

I've just tagged the page, using our page curation tools, as having some issues to fix. If many contemporary scientists have opinions on the books, I hope you can find some of their reviews or writing on it and then include that as a reference.

The tags can be removed by you or another editor once the issues they mention are addressed. If you have questions, you can leave a comment on

Please do not add commentary, your own point of view, or your own personal analysis to Wikipedia articles, as you did to American Medical Association. Doing so violates Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy and breaches the formal tone expected in an encyclopedia. Thank you. Tornado chaser (talk) 00:02, 28 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
