Talk:God's Son (album)

Honestly
i understand there's a lot of Nastans out there, and that approach is probably appropriate for an album widely viewed as a classic like Illmatic, but not every Nas album needs the stan treatment. this needs to be seriously slimmed down. 75.26.171.73 05:09, 20 May 2007 (UTC)
 * This album is very significant to Nas' career and has enough information to be covered in a large entry. Your argument would hold a little bit stronger if you didn't call Nas fans "stans," a term that Nas popularized on "Ether." Before Nas, "Stan" was just some suicidal fan in an Eminem song. Noahdabomb3 03:50, 18 June 2007 (UTC)

GAN on hold
*Woah, half of the lead's second para is a quote...best to minimise quoting in lead (and incidentally, the last statement needs a source) *Reception section seems very short for an album... And leave me a note when done. Cheers, dihydrogen monoxide (H2O) 02:28, 17 May 2008 (UTC)
 * "God's Son is the sixth studio album by East Coast hip hop artist Nas" - the album cover has a full name (not Nas)...what's going on?
 * Say the exact release date in the lead
 * Check italics in professional reviews section of infobox
 * "In less than a year, Nas soon responded with "Ether," a response to Jay-Z's "Takeover," - overly wordy...
 * What's the image in the lyrics section got to do with anything?
 * "Its not just concept songs" - "it's" shouldn't be in an encyclopedia (contraction)

More GA comments
I think this is well on its way to GA-status, but I have some concerns about the neutrality of the article, and a few other quibbles.

*It's rarely, if ever, appropriate to include a lengthy, gushing and laudatory quote in the lead of an article. "Like many publications, All Music Guide gave God's Son a solid rating of four stars." - this sentence is uncited and is obviously meant to give the reader the impression that the album was very well-received by many critics. This may very well be true, but it's not encyclopedic to imply it. State it outright, with support from references. Don't characterize a review, like calling this four-star rating "solid" (for all you know, it was almost a three star album, but they decided it was just barely good enough, so it might not have been solid). *"Nas' 1994 debut album, Illmatic received much acclaim, but his next few releases were considered to be watered down and commercialized" - I am well aware that this is true, but this comes across as weasel-wordy. This should be more detailed. This is, I think, just as important a part of the album's background as the Jay-Z thing, but it only gets one sentence. *"Its not just concept songs that make critics praise this album's lyrical content, it is the album's consistency" - this is also reading the mind's of reviewers, unless all or most of the reviews say that the concept songs make them like the lyrics, but that the consistency is the ultimate selling point for the album. Reviewers don't generally say that kind of thing, and it doesn't seem like a very useful sentence anyway. *The Berliner quote should be pared down, or moved elsewhere. It doesn't really describe the lyrics, just says they're good, which is properly part of "reception". The "lyrics" section should only describe the lyrics. *"God's Son was produced by various producers including Salaam Remi, Eminem and Alchemist" - this is a very bad sentence for a variety of reasons *"This diversity also allows for a wide array of sounds." - This is filler and can be removed. Albums with one producer are capable of having just as wide an array of sounds as albums with more than one producer. *"Additionally, the wide array of producers allow for a different use of samples" - ditto *"sample lacking production" - is there a word missing here? That's a jarring wording *"Although there is no determined band for God's Son, various musicians" also bad wording - "determined band" is, to me, a band that is dedicating to improving their craft *"God's Son reached #12 on the Billboard 200,[1] a chart position that Nas had not fell to since his first album, Illmatic" - "had not fell to" is really hard to parse... and I still don't get it. "reached" implies it went up (i.e. a good thing), but then "fell to" implies that it was a terrible showing. *"Nas gained acclaim as the king of the New York hip hop scene" - this is inherently unencyclopedic language, and that Jones quote does not support the claim, if that's what's supposed to support it.
 * Extremely positive quotes are sprinkled liberally throughout the article, but the entirety of negative criticism is in a very brief "Critical" section. The critical reception of an album is both positive and negative, and both sides need to be covered in that section. If you're going to cite positive reviews in other sections, you need to also cite negative reviews in other sections when relevant. As an example, there is a long, very positive quote in the Lyrics section, even though it doesn't really describe the lyrics at all, but there is no discussion of the negative reviews of the production in the "Production" section, despite those very same negative reviews being covered in the "Critical" section. I'd suggest leaving the descriptions to the Lyrics and Production sections, and putting the review-oriented information in the reception section, but if you really want to cover reviews in those sections, it needs to be consistent.
 * "In less than a year, Nas soon responded"
 * "referring to God's Son release and Jay's The Blueprint 2 release." - don't repeat "release"
 * "Although guest appearances are made by Tupac Shakur, Kelis, Alicia Keys, and others, God's Son is considered to be a personal album" - what does this mean? Is it really necessary to list Tupac? Just Kelis and Keys would seem sufficient. In any case, saying that Tupac made a guest appearance is poor wording considering that he had been dead for years.
 * "Nas' lyrics also deal with religion as the album's title curtails" - I don't think "curtails" is the word you're looking for here
 * The idea of a concept track, and then a concept song is not explained
 * "Serena Kim of VIBE supports Nas' use of a variety of commercially "risk[y]" producers saying" - this is confusing. "Risky" doesn't need to be in quotes, and you need to explain what makes these people "commercially risky", and why the Neptunes are not. When a quote requires a lot of context like this one, it might be better to summarize it in your own words, then put the exact quote in a footnote.
 * If you have a section titled "Feud with Jay-Z", it needs to talk about Jay-Z's responses, not just Nas'.

I've taken care of most of the concerns, although I think some of areas which you have requested be improved are for FA status, rather than GA. Btw, do you want me to get rid of the promotional image in the lyrics section or move it to somewhere else in the article ? - Guerilla In Tha Mist (talk) 18:19, 17 May 2008 (UTC)
 * That was dihydrogen monoxide's concern, not mine. I think it might be better off in the "Commercial" reception section, and that it isn't really necessary anywhere. But I'm not personally too concerned about it. BTW, it's generally considered inappropriate to strike out somebody else's comments. I agree some of my points aren't necessary for GAing, but the neutrality concerns were significant (I haven't looked over them to be sure they are addressed sufficiently) and I thought I might as well leave notes about anything else I saw while I was looking it over. Tuf-Kat (talk) 21:41, 17 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Sorry, I only put a strike-through the points I had completed so I could easily see which things I still had to do. I appreciate the comments as they will help the article progress to FA. Thanks for the review. - Guerilla In Tha Mist (talk) 21:59, 17 May 2008 (UTC)

Are there still any GA concerns? dihydrogen monoxide (H2O) 01:27, 18 May 2008 (UTC)
 * I still have one significant concern: neutrality in the feud section. The first sentence is badly worded and far too sweeping of a claim to presented as fact, and the entire section discusses only Nas' views on the subject. Obviously, it's a Nas article, not a Jay-Z article, but this doesn't represent viewpoints fairly and without bias, since Jay-Z's viewpoint is not mentioned. Once that's fixed, I'd support it being a GA, though I note it does need a major copyedit to survive FAC. Tuf-Kat (talk) 02:12, 18 May 2008 (UTC)

I've added Jay-Z's part in the feud, I think it now passes the GA criteria. - Guerilla In Tha Mist (talk) 16:25, 18 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Okay, I no longer have any GA concerns. Good work! Tuf-Kat (talk) 22:32, 18 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Awesome, passed. dihydrogen monoxide (H2O) 09:39, 19 May 2008 (UTC)

USA Today review
Transcription using Google News Advanced News Archive Search. USA Today (Jones, Steve. D.05. December 17, 2002) review of God's Son (2002):

"Rap: Nas, God's Son ( * * * 1/2) Nas has always been a keen observer, whether reflecting on the world around him or taking an inward look at himself. He does both here to great effect, capping what has already been a strong year with another high-quality effort. The blistering Made You Look is a street-ready jam, while Last Real Nigga Alive is an incisive history lesson on the long- simmering rhymes wars of several camps, including himself, the Notorious BIG, Puff Daddy, Raekwon, Jay-Z and others. Thugz Mansion finds him and the late Tupac Shakur ruminating on a heavenly place for fallen artists, while Warrior Song with Alicia Keys urges those who have suffered a loss to stay strong. Dance is a poignant ode to his late mother."

Orphaned references in God's Son
I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of God's Son's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.

Reference named "Metacritic": From Hip Hop Is Dead: Hip Hop Is Dead (2007): Reviews. Metacritic. Retrieved on 2009-10-27. From Street's Disciple: Street's Disciple (2004): Reviews. Metacritic. Retrieved on 2009-11-24. From Stillmatic: Stillmatic (2001): Reviews. Metacritic. Retrieved on 2010-10-16.

I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not. AnomieBOT ⚡ 07:57, 16 October 2010 (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. To complete the process, your preference will automatically be changed to  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 WP:MINOR, and believe that it is still beneficial to the encyclopedia to have all your edits marked as such by default, then this discussion will give you the details you need to continue with this functionality indefinitely. If you have any problems, feel free to drop me a note.

Thank you for your understanding and happy editing :) Editing on behalf of User:Jarry1250, LivingBot (talk) 20:33, 14 March 2011 (UTC)

Wells Fargo Arena (Des Moines, Iowa)

Wells Fargo Arena is a multi-purpose arena in downtown Des Moines, Iowa, United States. Part of the Iowa Events Center, the arena opened on July 12, 2005, at a cost of $117 million. Named for title sponsor Wells Fargo, the arena replaced the aging Community Choice Credit Union Convention Center as the Des Moines area's primary venue for sporting events and concerts.

Wells Fargo Arena seats 15,181 people for hockey and arena football games, 16,110 for basketball games, and as many as 16,980 for concerts. It also features The Fort Restaurant, which provides views of the Des Moines River and the Iowa State Capitol. The restaurant opened on October 6, 2005, coinciding with the Iowa Stars' inaugural home game.

The arena is also connected to the rest of the Iowa Events Center as well as downtown Des Moines through the city's Skywalk system.

Usage
The first event held at the arena was Tony Hawk's Boom-Boom Huck Jam, on July 1. Its first concert, featuring Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers with The Black Crowes, was held on July 18.

Wells Fargo Arena is home to the Iowa Wolves (formerly named the Iowa Energy) of the NBA G League, the Iowa Barnstormers of the Indoor Football League and the Iowa Wild of the American Hockey League.

From 2005 until 2009, Wells Fargo Arena served as the home of the American Hockey League's Iowa Chops. The arena is notable for hosting the inaugural game of the reincarnation of the Arena Football League on April 2, 2010, between the Barnstormers and Chicago Rush, televised nationally by NFL Network.

It was the host for the first and second Round games for the 2008 NCAA Division I women's basketball tournament and served as a regional site 2012 tournament. In 2013, it hosted the NCAA Wrestling Team Championship.

It has hosted the state high school wrestling and basketball tournaments since 2006 and the Big Four Classic, a doubleheader featuring the state's four men's Division I teams, from 2012 to 2018.

The arena hosted the 2011 NBA D-League Finals, which saw the Iowa Energy win their first title on their home court and set the D-League attendance record with 14,036 fans in the arena for Game 2.

In 2016, the arena hosted first and second-round games for the Men's NCAA basketball tournament after having failed on several prior bids. The NCAA Men's basketball tournament returned to Wells Fargo Arena in 2019, hosting the tournament's first and second round from March 21 to 23. The tournament returned yet again in 2023, hosting national powers Kansas and Texas.

Josh Sawyer verb style
Dude.

Clearly it's OK to write "After Lawrence graduated him," but that's NOT the prevalent style among professional writers. It's ridiculous to imply that the intransitive "graduating" does not convey meaning equal to your antiquated transitive. The intransitive incorporates the same meaning with better effect, preserving Sawyer as subject and thus balancing the sentence. Yes, this style is subjective, but the consensus of stylebooks and the world's best journalists suggest mine was the better choice.

Pedantically yours,

(insert smiley here)

 * Wow. Journalists.  I guess I don't give a lot of weight or credence to the opinions of the "Fourth Estate".  Nonetheless, I'm obviously on the losing side of this issue.  Perhaps my next thing will be the equally misguided use of "technology". -Acjelen 06:21, 8 December 2005 (UTC)

EDIT: This is not about politics, so don't let your biases cloud your judgment. I'd hope that as a librarian you'd recognize that news stories are easy to quantify, and, more importantly, you'd understand that (most) journalists know a fair bit about the craft of writing. Some probably even penned novels and essays on your shelves.

Or don't. Ignore convention. I'm sure Wikipedia will make an excellent literary stylebook.

 * My concerns with journalists are not political, at least not in any right-left kind of way. I just don't see the press as a separate class (or "estate") in society to be afforded special privileges or granted power over language.  If the Associated Press has a special way it wants its writers to use English, that's fine.  I'm not sure why I or any other non-AP writer needs to know about it.  Of course, I may take things to the extreme.  I had to take fewer anthropology courses in college because I refused to use APA citation style. -Acjelen 20:11, 8 December 2005 (UTC)

EDIT2: This begs the question: what sources guide your decisions? Intuition? During this discussion your complaints have evolved (first grammar then meaning then you throw in a non-sequitur about the opinions of journalists) but you've not cited a single source related to word usage.

AP style is not a "special class." Hogwash. I referenced it because it's universally accepted, it's easy to document and it facilitates clear & concise writing. I also cited Merriam-Webster usage but you continue to ignore that. I imagine it wouldn't be difficult to find similar agreement in the OED or some other elitist reference work.

So I'll ask again: what resources led you to your initial correction of the term "graduating"?

Incidentally, I'm also curious to know if there is an accepted stylebook for Wikipedia--other than intuition, that is.

NEXIS - MAJOR NEWSPAPERS SINCE 1/1/2004 (MAJPAP):

"after graduating from" = 16,348 stories

"after being graduated from" = 97 stories

MERRIAM-WEBSTER ONLINE(http://tinyurl.com/b5qet): "USAGE: In the 19th century the transitive sense (1a) was prescribed; the intransitive 'I graduated from college' was condemned. The intransitive prevailed nonetheless, and today it is the sense likely to be prescribed and the newer transitive (sense 1b) the one condemned. All three are standard. The intransitive is currently the most common, the new transitive the least common."

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS STYLEBOOK AND LIBEL MANUAL: "Graduate is correctly used in the active voice: She graduated from the university. It is correct, but unnecessary, to use the passive voice:He was graduated from the university. Do not, however, drop from: She graduated from Harvard. Not: She graduated Harvard."

1) Sock Puppet redirects and hopes nobody notices - Article Gone.

2) SP starts edit war-victim gives up - Article Gone.

3) Later new SP 'merges' and redirects - Article Gone

4) New SP starts edit war - Article Gone

5) If all fails, SP puts up Vfd and makes false statements against his victim often getting THE VICTIM BLOCKED.

PLEASE STUDY THE 'EDIT HISTORY' OF THIS ARTICLE, RIL and 81.156.177.21 for the facts speak for themselves. --Mikefar 05:08, 15 July 2005 (UTC)

 * Actually, the above is one of the numerous sockpuppets of the article's creator - User:Melissadolbeer - see the user's edit history, and Requests for comment/Melissadolbeer for details. The article in question is Melissadolbeer's original research based on an account by Jerome which is almost universally considered to be an error confusing 3 different gospels (Gospel of the Nazarenes, Gospel of the Hebrews, and Gospel of the Ebionites). It also contains material presenting Eusebius's views of what was Biblical Canon - better discussed at those two articles, and the entire source text of the alleged Gospel, which is otherwise almost universally split into the 3 seperate texts above. The source text was already on WikiSource, and what was salvagable from the remainder of the article was merged to the above 5 articles, and Gospel of Matthew, at the suggestion of User:Wetman. It exists only to support Melissadolbeer's original research thesis. Melissadolbeer's claims of abuse against me, 81.156.177.21, doc, Slrubenstien, etc. are simply down to the fact that we have at one time or another merged the article elsewhere leaving only a redirect, or have voted to delete it at VFD. The above comment by the sockpuppet has been pasted by it into a vast number of user pages, an act which essentially constitutes excessive disruption to Wikipedia, simply because Melissadolbeer refuses to abide by the process of VFD.     19:09, 15 July 2005 (UTC)

Thanks for your contributions they are much appreciated. Please, if you find unwarrented speculation in Wikipedia articles remove it, rather than adding even more unwarrented speculation. Thanks. DJ Clayworth 13:46, 1 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Duke of Rothesay
I don't know if the law actually says that anywhere in so many words. However this seems to be a reasonable inference that can be drawn from some of the people who held this title e.g. younger brothers of first-born sons who died young. Also under the normal laws of succession of all titles, if the Duke predeceases the monarch but leaves children, the title goes to his oldest surviving son. PatGallacher 10:47, 2005 Apr 10 (UTC)

Memorial Day
Dang. My apologies for taking like a month to get back to you. I oughta log in more often :p

Anywho, yes, those two are among the cities given credence as possible birthplaces of Memorial Day. What in reality was happening is that the country was recovering from a war that resulted in a staggering loss of life. Many found similar ways to commemorate the dead and celebrate the end of the bloody and brutal conflict, and that's why so many cities claim to be the holiday's birthplace. The two given the most official notice are Waterloo and Boalsburg; Boalsburg for being one of the earliest cited celebrations and Waterloo for being the first to make it an official citywide holiday. In regards to Charleston, from a paper I recently wrote on the topic:

 * These small town accounts are far from definitive. In contrast, historian David Blight cites the first major celebration of something resembling what came to be called Decoration Day as occurring in Charleston, South Carolina, on May 1, 1865. The ceremony was carefully planned and incredibly elaborate. Beginning about a week before, freedmen began converting a local symbol of white power and the Southern aristocracy – the planters’ track – into a graveyard for former slaves who died fighting for freedom. The ceremony was specifically tailored so that it would be “…as South Carolina and the United States never saw before;” those involved wanted to make it so grandiose that it might leave an impression on all those who would see it.  It took place at the track on May 1, 1865, beginning with three thousand newly freed school children marching around the track, singing John Brown’s Body, and carrying armfuls of roses. Three hundred newly freed women followed the children carrying baskets of flowers, wreaths, and crosses. The adults marched around the track while the children sang patriotic songs, and then a very serious, complex, and lengthy dedication was given by local ministers. The entire procession was a simultaneous celebration of freedom and mourning for those who had been lost. --Southpaw018 00:32, 5 May 2005 (UTC)

Ultimate Fantastic Four
I chose to rework your rework of my description of Ultimate Fantastic Four to clarify the fact that the Ultimate team is not merely "new stories," but rather a new team altogether. After all, the original FF's comic is still being published. --Joe Sewell 17:18, 17 Jun 2005 (UTC)

 * Thanks for your comment on my talk page. I can understand the confusion, since the Ultimate Marvel "universe" seems to contain the same individuals as the "regular" Marvel universe.  In fact, they're more or less counterparts or doppelgängers in an alternate universe.  The Ultimate Marvel universe version of Thor is probably one of the best examples of the contrast. --Joe Sewell 16:15, 22 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Surnames
The law isn't as prescriptive as to say "everyone must have their father's surname", but it's certainly governed by the law to some extent. For instance, if a man and woman with children divorce and the woman is given sole custody of the children, she cannot change the children's surnames to her maiden name, as the courts will not let the children have their patronymic surname taken away for no good reason. And if a husband and wife who have not taken the same surname have children, the children automatically have the father's surname, and a court order would be required if the parents wished otherwise. Once people are adults, of course, they can take whatever surname they want. But in any case, using a title as a surname does not indicate that the person concerned actually thinks it is a surname. It is common practice amongst the British nobility in informal situations to use the title as a last name: "John Smith, 7th Viscount Somewhere" will often call himself "John Somewhere" amongst friends. Proteus (Talk) 6 July 2005 08:43 (UTC)

I would guess that amongst friends, he will simply be "John". Whereas, truly, in some semi-official situations, he will be "Somewhere" or "John Somewhere". Queen Vixtoria's dad signed himself as "Kent and Strathearn" (without first name, without any more surnames nor titles). 217.140.193.123 7 July 2005 13:05 (UTC)

May I ask whether that is intended to render the British law? Or what? And, am I incorrect in assuming that the guys are now adults?217.140.193.123 7 July 2005 13:05 (UTC)

harry and william, Wales
Sadly, you have now omitted the information that at the university, Prince William used Wales in place of surname, and that Prince Harry in earlier school similarly used Wales. I request that you try to preserve information when making edits, rather than lose it from the article. 217.140.193.123 7 July 2005 13:00 (UTC)

The issue I try to say, is not the word surname, but William at the university and Harry in earlier school. 217.140.193.123 7 July 2005 22:06 (UTC)

disambig links

American?
Acjelen, I just want to know where we are getting with the American article, because it doesn't seem to be anywhere! To keep things from getting messy, can you please help me out: what would the article look like, ideally, to you? How should we define American? --R OY  YO Я 9 July 2005 14:57 (UTC)
 * Yes, the version you have looks more organized, and it has everything it needs from the original article. It's true that the important thing is that we give all of the information about the term, despite what some people what to leave out.  If you put up that article, things should be fine - and if anyone has a problem with it because they want to ignore some of the facts, that's too bad!  After that, I would be content to leave things be.  Thanks. --R OY   YO Я 16:24, 10 July 2005 (UTC)

Hi Ac-this is good to see, and in my opinion you're taking this article in the right direction. Again, I think your way of putting the article together is better, with a simple disambig, separate from the actual issue. Glad to see it, and thanks for keeping me up to date! --R OY  YO Я 16:06, 21 July 2005 (UTC)

Votes for deletion/Historical Jesus
You voted on the above. Your comments suggest that you may not have compared the article Historical Jesus to the article New Testament view on Jesus' life. The Historical Jesus article explicitely states in it's opening paragraph that it "presents a critical reconstruction of the Historical Jesus, as based on the four canonical gospels", and therefore I would suggest that it constitutes a POV fork of New Testament view on Jesus' life. Could you possibly review your vote? 17:48, 14 July 2005 (UTC)

Vanunu/Crossman
Vanunu is NOT internationally known as John Crossman, nor is it his formal name. It is his baptismal name. Names given to adults in baptism are not usually formalized in law in non-Catholic countries, unless the person goes through the paperwork. As far as I know, Vanunu hasn't. Calling him by a name that nobody recognizes is totally ludicrous.

As for splitting the article, that may well be the way to go when the list gets long enough. As you pointed out, the top part is all red links. I intend to write those articles, which is why the links are there. For now, the list is too short to warrant division, IMO. David Cannon 22:45, 31 July 2005 (UTC)

Disambig page style
Hey there, I saw your excellent recent edits on the america disambig page, and I had one comment. According to the MoS piping is discouraged. I know it may look cleaner, but I think the point is to show the difference in pages right down to the difference in titles. It makes it easier to find what your looking for if the links don't all just say America. Thanks for cleaning up the rest though, have you thought about joining WikiProject Disambiguation? - Trevor macinnis 18:18, 15 August 2005 (UTC)

Thanks, dude - I spent quite a while working on that the other night, and I wasn't really expecting any recognition for it.

Looking through the other Pern articles, you're right - almost all of them could use some work, and there's a bunch of little articles that really ought to be merged into the bigger ones. I might try and improve some of those in the future. Thanks again! Penelope D 23:34, 21 August 2005 (UTC)

American
I'd like to discuss your revert of my changes to American. I feel that disambiguation pages exist to navigate readers to their desired article. I use Manual of Style (disambiguation pages) as the basis for the changes I make. What are your thoughts? --Commander Keane 14:49, August 22, 2005 (UTC)
 * In retrospect, the article is not too badly organised as it is. The page, I think you would agree, is now definately a disambiguaion page. However, even though english is my native language, when trying to decipher various meanings of a word, I never use "noun" or adjective". I can see the advantage of using these, as to remove any preduduce in the order of entries, but I find it confusing. The "See also" section is not really for free assoctiaion. I will make some minor changes, and perhaps you can adjust them for me. --Commander Keane 05:06, August 23, 2005 (UTC)
 * I'd like to copy and paste our discussion to Talk:American. Any problems with that? --Commander Keane 05:20, August 23, 2005 (UTC)

USAian (huh?)
I can see a plausible editoral case that "USAian" isn't necessary in describing the Miller test, since readers can click on the link to find out the USA-only jurisdiction (I don't agree, since I think indicating jurisdicational scope is worthwhile to mention in that sentence; I'll leave the edit though).

But what on earth could make the adjective "ridiculous" or "offensive"?! Are you one of those people with a strange antipathy towards towards the adjective? I've encountered some people who believe falsely that the neologism is recent of "hackerish" (it actually dates back about 150 years, though never in predominant use). Or do you think it self-evident to all the world that everyone knows the Miller test is a USA thing? I just can't figure out what the edit comment might rationally mean.

Are you sure it's better that way?..... without my explanation it just seems like that's randomly in there and out of place. This is because people who don't know much about Jesus don't know that this happened just before Christ's death.

Concern
Hello Acjelen. I am not a new anonymous user, I have edited the Jesus article and other articles many 1000s of times. :) Secondly don't remove the Islam info from the intro. The intro is meant to summarize what is coming in the rest of the article. So you either move the repeated info of Christianity too or you leave both Islam and Christianity in the lead sentence. Both religions hold importance to Jesus and saying that the reference to Islam should be shortened to insignificance is biased. Thanks. -- a.n.o.n.y.m t 04:35, 9 December 2005 (UTC)

 * I cannot imagine that I was the first Wikipedian to call you "anonymous user" instead of "anonymous editor". I have not removed the Islam info from the intro.  The intro is very long (a good five or six paragraphs) and Islam is treated very well, too good for some editors in the last couple of days.  I suppose Islam should be mentioned in the first paragraph, but the paragraph on Islam later in the intro needs to stay. -Acjelen 04:47, 9 December 2005 (UTC)

 * Okay hope you are done writing this time. So the paragraphs are fine then. Also, I think that irrelevant info about Christology is not necessary in the intro? Especially because it does not fit into the paragraph and can go later into the article. -- a.n.o.n.y.m   t 04:50, 9 December 2005 (UTC)

I don't see how Christology doesn't belong in the intro to the Jesus article. Anyway, the point of that paragraph is to keep the debate about whether Jesus is God or not out of the "other gospel claims" article. -Acjelen 04:51, 9 December 2005 (UTC)

 * What do you mean? Christology does not fit into the paragraph at all and really isn't something that should be put into an intro. It can come later in the article such as in the Life and teachings section. My main concern with you was the removal and movement of Islam information, a religion in which he is also of major significance. Aside from that if you have small edits to make that do not move the paragraphs or remove Islam info that is fine with me. -- a.n.o.n.y.m  t 04:54, 9 December 2005 (UTC)
 * Like I said before, I don't understand why you keep changing around the paragraphs and that is a main concern of mine. -- a.n.o.n.y.m  t 05:03, 9 December 2005 (UTC)
 * I keep changing the paragraphs around because I've been editing the Jesus article for the last couple of days, though it has been one of the most stressful things I've done. It seems to me that one should finish a treatment of claims or arguments about Jesus in Christianity before treating Jesus in Islam.  Since the intro is making Christological statements about Jesus, it might as well mention Christology. -Acjelen 05:06, 9 December 2005 (UTC)
 * I mentioned the christology info in the intro of the section below since that section describes his life. Secondly the last paragraph of the intro shows how perspectives of Jesus vary in not only christianity but in other religions (such as Judaism) too. That is the point of the last paragraph. The second and third paragraph are filled with info about Jesus in christianity. -- a.n.o.n.y.m  t 05:09, 9 December 2005 (UTC)
 * I suppose I am reading those paragraphs in the introduction very differently than you are. -Acjelen 05:16, 9 December 2005 (UTC)
 * I am happy with the current version. I left the sentence you moved to the third paragraph in my last edit. -- a.n.o.n.y.m  t 05:18, 9 December 2005 (UTC)
