for your contributions to Christian topics :) ...for what it's worth, i think you should've been treated with more kindness & civility with regard to discussions about reliability of certain scholars & viewpoints on the historicity of Biblical events.

Lovely Easter
Lovely Easter | |
happy Easter! an unusually early and dreary (weather-wise) holiday, and the Orthodox celebrate it over a month after the West does... although next year they will be on the same day. a good omen for 2025, perhaps ... sawyer * he/they * talk 00:39, 1 April 2024 (UTC) |
- And a lovely Easter to you, Sawyer-mcdonell! If memory serves, the last time there was an Easter alignment between Rome and the Eastern Orthodox was 2014 (I only remember because there was a service commemorating the victims of the Ludlow Massacre that year). I am hopeful for graces in the year to come! ~ Pbritti (talk) 01:40, 1 April 2024 (UTC)

U.S. states & landlocked status
Hello, I noticed that you reverted my edits regarding the landlocked status of Colorado, Arizona, and New Mexico in their respective articles. Thanks for assuming good faith and acknowledging relevance, but mentioning the landlocked status is important for geography. I’d like to say that the other state articles I edited to include the landlocked status in the lead still have those edits, meaning they were relevant and appropriate. As these states are indeed landlocked, I request that you reconsider your reverts. If you have any questions feel free to ask, thanks! DirtySocks357(WreckItRalph) (talk) 00:26, 2 April 2024 (UTC)
- @Wikipedia's verifiability policy. Your edits did not include references, so reversion was highly likely. If you have outstanding questions or points you'd like to add, please feel more than welcome to place them here on my talk page. Again, welcome to Wikipedia! ~ Pbritti (talk) 00:51, 2 April 2024 (UTC)]
- Thanks, and it’s true that relevancy is important. Otherwise, many articles would contain information which a reader would not find useful! I actually do have some points I’d like to share. First, You don’t need to cite that the sky is blue. Although there are disagreements regarding the application of non-essays and guidelines, this particular one is very useful, reminding me that I don’t need sources for such information. Also, Wikipedia can be different. Yes, we most definetly seek other sources of information, but the great thing about Wikipedia is that any relevant information can and should be shared. Here, landlocked states need their status so that readers understand the impact geography has on the economy of the states. Consistency is another thing; it would only be appropriate if a balance of geographic status is spread throughout each article. Thank you for being very helpful to my case, and please reach out! DirtySocks357(WreckItRalph) (talk) 13:38, 2 April 2024 (UTC)
- @DirtySocks357(WreckItRalph): Thank you for continuing your kind disagreement. Since you seem fairly committed to a reasoned defense of these additions and appear to understand all the relevant policies and guidelines involved, I'll encourage you to restore the "landlocked" bit and see if any other editors disagree. I am of the opinion you will become a very strong editor. Best, ~ Pbritti (talk) 13:53, 2 April 2024 (UTC)

Tiffany Henyard
I added the politician's criminal history. Two citations were added - one from the arresting police department's own website (Chicago Police Department), and another from a major NY newspaper which also references the arrest. The primary source, the Chicago Police Department's own website is enough of a source. Drdas007 (talk) 13:50, 4 April 2024 (UTC)
- @]
- The police department's arrest record is a primary source
- A primary source is one "that can be verified by any educated person with access to the primary source but without further, specialized knowledge."
- No interpretation was made. A simple stating of fact with a primary source.
- Thank you for the information on the NY Post. I will refrain from using that newspaper in the future, ESPECIALLY as a primary source! That link was very helpful. Drdas007 (talk) 14:05, 4 April 2024 (UTC)
@Drdas007: Of course! If reliable sources do pop up, please feel free to add them. I'll help with any formatting trouble you may encounter. ~ Pbritti (talk) 14:38, 4 April 2024 (UTC)

Request on 05:18:50, 7 April 2024 for assistance on AfC submission by TaiXuan91
The reasons for rejection are ridiculous. GNU Moe is a software. I quoted GNU Moe's official website in reference. There are detailed software documents and source code download addresses on its official website. I don't know what is more reliable source than the official website for a software.
TaiXuan91 (talk) 05:18, 7 April 2024 (UTC)
- @independent source, it is not as reliable or ideal. Additionally, notability is (generally) not established without independent sourcing. Best, ~ Pbritti (talk) 05:40, 7 April 2024 (UTC)]

- @Sawyer-mcdonell: Thank you! The baklava has been abundant of late. I'm hoping to take the Armenian Rite article a bit further, adding in material on non-Eucharistic rituals. Maybe it'll hit GAN someday, but TBD. By the way, I do believe some celebratory festivities are in order for you! ~ Pbritti (talk) 03:38, 11 April 2024 (UTC)

A thank you and a question
First and foremost, thank you so much for the exceptionally kind barnstar you left on my page; it's my first one and it really means a lot you took the time to give me one!
Next, I have a question about the changes you make from Roman Catholic to Catholic. I'm an Eastern Catholic so I share your frustration with the conflation of the two, but on Fr. Loew's page, I thought "Roman" would be most appropriate. In general, I've considered anything shared by the universal church as "Catholic" (in simplex), but people and anything particular to the sui iuris churches as not necessitating the change (e.g., Roman Catholics believe in transubstantiation vs. Joe Smith is a Roman Catholic). This is completely from my head, but since you're the only other person I've seen try to correct it, do you have a convention or rule of thumb that you use on pages? I'd like to be helpful in this regard and you seem like an editor who knows what he's doing, so I thought I might pick your brain. ThaesOfereode (talk) 12:22, 11 April 2024 (UTC)
- @Anglo-Catholic. Otherwise, it's a term that lends itself to conflation ("do they mean the Catholic Church as a whole or just the Latin Church). Great article, again! Best, ~ Pbritti (talk) 15:12, 11 April 2024 (UTC)]
- Thanks for the explanation; I'll keep it in mind when I'm poking around pages. Happy editing and thanks again! ThaesOfereode (talk) 12:16, 12 April 2024 (UTC)

- Massacre of the Innocents is the flashpoint I'm most familiar with, but there was a lot of headhunting associated with Latter-Day Saints articles recently following the BYU E-I-R fiasco. When I was doing some editing in scriptural articles, I cited a CUP book that I ended up making an article for. Citing it to describe an academically acceptable but marginal opinion (it's a toned-down version of the Mythological Jesus argument) resulted in accusations of promoting fringe theories. I haven't kept a running list, but if you're interested in more details, I can send you some stuff via the email feature. ~ Pbritti (talk) 01:51, 16 April 2024 (UTC)

I am so glad to see you there! Thank you! Jenhawk777 (talk) 20:37, 18 April 2024 (UTC)
- @Jenhawk777: No problem! I had allocated time to review a GAN this week and, given the nominator hasn't gotten back immediately on my comments, I figured it was only right to offer a hand. I've been watching the article progress over the last month and I really like the shape it's taken. I'll do a more thorough review of sources when I can. ~ Pbritti (talk) 20:41, 18 April 2024 (UTC)
