Funchal pictures
Hi, while it's great that you're adding pictures to Funchal, it's now getting to the point where there are too many for the text. There are two options - one is to make a gallery at the bottom of the page (using the "gallery" html tag), or better, to create a gallery at the commons and move all the pictures there. The advantage of the second approach is that the pictures are available to all languages, not just the English WP. Stan 07:55, 17 September 2005 (UTC)

Image Tagging Image:CasasdeSantana.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:CasasdeSantana.jpg. I notice the image page currently doesn't specify who created the image, so the copyright status is therefore unclear. If you have not created the image yourself then you need to argue that we have the right to use the image on Wikipedia (see copyright tagging below). If you have not created the image yourself then you should also specify where you found it, ie in most cases link to the website where you got it, and the terms of use for content from that page.

If the image also doesn't have a copyright tag then you must also add one. If you created/took the picture then you can use to release it under the GFDL. If you can claim fair use use .)  See Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other images, please check that you have specified their source and copyright tagged them, too. Note that any unsourced and untagged images will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thanks so much.

License tagging for Image:Town center.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Town center.jpg. Wikipedia gets hundreds of images uploaded every day, and in order to verify that the images can be legally used on Wikipedia, the source and copyright status must be indicated. Images need to have an image tag applied to the image description page indicating the copyright status of the image. This uniform and easy-to-understand method of indicating the license status allows potential re-users of the images to know what they are allowed to do with the images.

For more information on using images, see the following pages:
 * Image use policy
 * Image copyright tags

This is an automated notice by OrphanBot. If you need help on selecting a tag to use, or in adding the tag to the image description, feel free to post a message at Media copyright questions. 15:08, 18 June 2006 (UTC)

Lisbon nightlife
Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia! We welcome and appreciate your contributions, such as Lisbon nightlife, but we regretfully cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from either web sites or printed material. This article appears to be a direct copy from http://www.lisbon.com/nightlife/index.html.

Lisbon nightlife has been tagged for deletion, and may have been deleted by the time you see this message. If the source is a credible one, please consider rewriting the content and citing the source.

If you believe that the article is not a copyright violation, or if you have permission from the copyright holder to release the content freely under the GFDL, you can comment to that effect on Talk:Lisbon nightlife. If the article has already been deleted, but you have a proper release, you can reenter the content at Lisbon nightlife, after describing the release on the talk page.

Dear uploader: The media file you uploaded as Image:2006-01-01_-_01-07_Funchal_Sylvesterfeuerwerk_-_33.JPG has been listed for speedy deletion because you selected a copyright license type implying some type of restricted use, such as for non-commercial use only, or for educational use only or for use on Wikipedia by permission.  While it might seem reasonable to assume that such files can be freely used on Wikipedia, a non-profit website, this is in fact not the case. Please do not upload any more files with these restrictions on them, because content on Wikipedia needs to be compatible with the GNU Free Documentation License, which allows anyone to use it for any purpose, commercial or non-commercial.

If you created this media file and want to use it on Wikipedia, you may re-upload it (or amend the image description if it has not yet been deleted) and use the license GFDL-self to license it under the GFDL, or cc-by-sa-2.5 to license it under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike license, or use PD-self to release it into the public domain.

If you did not create this media file but want to use it on Wikipedia, there are two ways to proceed. First, you may choose one of the fair use tags from this list if you believe one of those fair use rationales applies to this file. Second, you may want to contact the copyright holder and request that they make the media available under a free license.

If you have any questions please ask at Media copyright questions. Thank you.

Any further changes to the article in this manner will be regarded as  vandalism unless we can reach an agreement at the discussion page first. You may be blocked from editing Wikipedia if you continue to ignore these warnings. You are encouraged to continue contributing to Wikipedia in a helpful manner, but please keep this in mind.

Alentejo - Pictures
Diogo, agradecia que não removesses imagens de mapas que mostram as sub-regiões de uma determinada região, unicamente para colocares fotos de paisagens. Se arranjasses mapas mais actualizados sobre o mesmo assunto, seria aceitável e até desejável que removesses o mapa antigo e o substituísses, mas caso contrário estás a retirar informação relevante ao artigo. Podes colocar as fotos de paisagens, mas tem o cuidado de não apagar mapas ou outras imagens (ou informações) relevantes colocadas por outros utilizadores. Obrigado.Page Up 18:47, 23 March 2007 (UTC)

Lisbon - ICBUFMG
A foto (Image:ICBUFMG.jpg) que colocaste no artigo de Lisboa na secção Education in Lisbon, é de uma instituição científica e de ensino localizada em Minas Gerais, no Brasil. Substitui-a por uma da Universidade Nova de Lisboa, mas tem mais cuidado a certificar-te sobre a origem de uma fotografia para evitar que isto aconteça mais vezes. De qualquer modo, são coisas que podem acontecer a qualquer um, num sítio tão vasto e aberto como é a Wikipedia. Obrigada.Page Up 19:15, 23 March 2007 (UTC)

Hello
Regarding Gdp per capita ppp world map 2005.PNG: you've added it to the article: List of countries by GDP (PPP) per capita, and on 14.4.07 you've updated this map according to the new figures supplied by the IMF (on 11.4.07). I would be happy to listen to your opinion about the problem of leaving the map as it is now in the article List of countries by GDP (PPP) per capita. I think this map can't stay in the article, because the List of countries by GDP (PPP) per capita refers to 2006 figures, and the map refers to 2005 figures. The other alternative is to edit another map which will represent 2006 figures. What do you think? Eliko 09:38, 18 April 2007 (UTC)

Hi, if you could be so kind, can you toss in a small edit summary when you edit?

Hello, I'm Wesley Mouse. I noticed that you recently removed some content from Portugal in the Eurovision Song Contest without explaining why. If this was a mistake, don't worry; I restored the removed content. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page.

Also in the future, it would be helpful to others if you described your changes to Wikipedia with an accurate edit summary.

Please be sure to provide a summary of every edit you make, even if you write only the briefest of summaries. The summaries are very helpful to people browsing an article's history.

Edit summary content is visible in:
 * User contributions
 * Recent changes
 * Watchlists
 * Revision differences
 * IRC channels
 * Related changes
 * New pages list and
 * Article editing history

Please use the edit summary to explain your reasoning for the edit, or a summary of what the edit changes. Thanks!  Wes Mouse | T@lk  02:37, 9 March 2015 (UTC)

Hello, and thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. I noticed that you recently added commentary to an article, File:ESC 2015 Map.svg. While Wikipedia welcomes editors' opinions on an article and how it could be changed, these comments are more appropriate for the article's accompanying talk page. If you post your comments there, other editors working on the same article will notice and respond to them, and your comments will not disrupt the flow of the article. However, keep in mind that even on the talk page of an article, you should limit your discussion to improving the article. Article talk pages are not the place to discuss opinions of the subject of articles, nor are such pages a forum. Thank you.  Wes Mouse | T@lk  12:45, 11 March 2015 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of File:ESC 2015 Map.svg

A tag has been placed on File:ESC 2015 Map.svg requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section F2 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is an image page for a missing or corrupt image or an empty image description page for a Commons-hosted image.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

Speedy deletion nomination of Pedro Carmo

A tag has been placed on Pedro Carmo requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article or image appears to be a clear copyright infringement. This article or image appears to be a direct copy from http://www.imdb.com/name/nm1343948/bio?ref_=nm_ov_bio_sm. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites or other printed material as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.

If the external website or image belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text or image — which means allowing other people to modify it — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Donating copyrighted materials. If you are not the owner of the external website or image but have permission from that owner, see Requesting copyright permission. You might want to look at Wikipedia's policies and guidelines for more details, or ask a question here.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Wgolf (talk) 23:47, 9 April 2016 (UTC)

Europe 10,000 Challenge invite
Hi. The WikiProject Europe/The 10,000 Challenge has recently started, based on the UK/Ireland The 10,000 Challenge. The idea is not to record every minor edit, but to create a momentum to motivate editors to produce good content improvements and creations and inspire people to work on more countries than they might otherwise work on. There's also the possibility of establishing smaller country or regional challenges for places like Germany, Italy, the Benelux countries, Iberian Peninsula, Romania, Slovenia etc, much like The 1000 Challenge (Nordic). For this to really work we need diversity and exciting content and editors from a broad range of countries regularly contributing. If you would like to see masses of articles being improved for Europe and your specialist country like WikiProject Africa/The Africa Destubathon, sign up today and once the challenge starts a contest can be organized. This is a way we can target every country of Europe, and steadily vastly improve the encyclopedia. We need numbers to make this work so consider signing up as a participant and also sign under any country sub challenge on the page that you might contribute to! Thank you. -- Ser Amantio di Nicolao Che dicono a Signa?Lo dicono a Signa. 05:46, 6 November 2016 (UTC)

Copy and paste moves
Hi, and thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you tried to give TAP Portugal a different title by copying its content and pasting either the same content, or an edited version of it, into TAP Air Portugal. This is known as a "cut-and-paste move", and it is undesirable because it splits the page history, which is legally required for attribution. Instead, the software used by Wikipedia has a feature that allows pages to be moved to a new title together with their edit history.

In most cases, once your account is four days old and has ten edits, you should be able to move an article yourself using the "Move" tab at the top of the page (the tab may be hidden in a dropdown menu for you). This both preserves the page history intact and automatically creates a redirect from the old title to the new. If you cannot perform a particular page move yourself this way (e.g. because a page already exists at the target title), please follow the instructions at requested moves to have it moved by someone else. Also, if there are any other pages that you moved by copying and pasting, even if it was a long time ago, please list them at Requests for history merge. Thank you.

Invitation from Wikimedia Portugal
(English below)

Olá. A Wikimedia Portugal é uma associação portuguesa sem fins lucrativos, fundada em 2009, reconhecida pela Wikimedia Foundation como "chapter" de Portugal. A nossa missão é, em geral, contribuir para a disseminação generalizada do saber e da cultura, através do incentivo à recolha e criação de conteúdos isentos de restrições de utilização, modificação e distribuição, e da difusão dos mesmos; e em particular, promover e apoiar os projetos da Wikimedia Foundation, entre os quais a Wikipédia, com ênfase para os projetos nas línguas faladas em Portugal, o português e o mirandês.

Gostaríamos de contar com o apoio de (e reciprocamente apoiar) todos os voluntários naturais, residentes ou simplesmente interessados em Portugal. Embora fundada em 2009, a associação teve um largo período de inatividade, que estamos agora a ultrapassar. Vimos por isso convidá-lo, caso nisso tenha interesse, a inscrever-se como associado da associação, demonstrar apoio à existência de um "chapter" em Portugal, e a envolver-se em atividades futuras inscrevendo-se na lista de distribuição de email. Recentemente, a Comissão de Afiliações da Wikimedia suspendeu o apoio à Wikimedia Portugal, pendente, entre outras coisas, do apoio da comunidade de editores portugueses.

Agradecemos desde já!

Hi! Wikimedia Portugal is the Portuguese chapter of Wikimedia, founded in 2009 and recognized by the Wikimedia Foundation. Our mission is to contribute to the general dissemination of knowledge and culture through the incentive to the collection and creation of content without restrictions on use, modification and distribution, and promote their difusion; we promote and support the Wikimedia Foundation projects, among which Wikipedia, with emphasis on projects in Portuguese and Mirandese.

We would like however to count on the support of (and in turn ourselves support) all volunteers that are citizens, resident, or simply interested in Portugal. Despite being founded in 2009, the chapter has gone through a long period of inactivity that we are trying to overcome. We have sent you this message to invite you, if you are interested, to enroll as associate to the chapter, demonstrate your support to the existence of a chapter in Portugal, and get involved in the discussion of future activities by registering in the mailing list. Recentely, the Wikimedia Affiliations Committee suspended support to Wikimedia Portugal pending, among other things, the support from the community of portuguese editors.

October 2022
Your edit to TAP Air Portugal has been removed in whole or in part, as it appears to have added copyrighted material to Wikipedia without evidence of permission from the copyright holder. If you are the copyright holder, please read Donating copyrighted materials for more information on uploading your material to Wikipedia. For legal reasons, Wikipedia cannot accept copyrighted material, including text or images from print publications or from other websites, without an appropriate and verifiable license. All such contributions will be deleted. You may use external websites or publications as a source of information, but not as a source of content, such as sentences or images—you must write using your own words. Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously, and persistent violators of our copyright policy will be blocked from editing. See Copying text from other sources for more information.

Please do not add or change content, as you did at TAP Air Portugal, without citing a reliable source. Please review the guidelines at Citing sources and take this opportunity to add references to the article. Thank you. Jetstreamer $Talk$ 14:04, 2 October 2022 (UTC)

All the content was backed by unbiased media references. No copyright infringement whatsoever took place. I understand however the material posted is sensitive to interests of TAP Air Portugal and the Portuguese Government and as such your reversion of the material. Further investigation by Wikipedia on your reversion should be undertaken. Cordially. Diogo sfreitas (talk) 15:02, 2 October 2022 (UTC)

November 2022
Please do not remove content or templates from pages on Wikipedia, as you did to TAP Air Portugal, without giving a valid reason for the removal in the edit summary. Your content removal does not appear to be constructive and has been reverted. If you only meant to make a test edit, please use your sandbox for that. Thank you. Jetstreamer $Talk$ 11:46, 16 November 2022 (UTC)

The removed content is redundant, it should not be placed in the heading of the page dedicated to TAP but to its history. You removed relevant information that was added by me - Department of Transportation of US -, in fact, as has become the habit, Jetstreamer. Diogo sfreitas (talk)

Yalkaparidon

Yalkaparidon is an extinct genus of Australian marsupials, first described in 1988 and known only from the Oligo-Miocene deposits of Riversleigh, northwestern Queensland, Australia.

Species
Two species, Y. coheni and Y. jonesi, have so far been described. Numerous isolated teeth and jaw bones of Yalkaparidon are known, but only a single skull (of Y. coheni) has so far been recovered.

Etymology
The generic name Yalkaparidon comes from an aboriginal word for boomerang, alluding to the boomerang-like shape of its molars when seen in occlusal view, and the Greek word for tooth.

Characteristics and classification
These specimens of Yalkaparidon exhibit a melange of characters: the molars are zalambdodont (a distinctive tooth type also found in the marsupial mole Notoryctes, the living placental 'insectivores' Solenodon, tenrecs and golden moles, as well as a number of fossil groups); the incisors are very large and hypselodont (open-rooted and hence ever-growing, similar to those of rodents); the basicranial region of the only known skull is very primitive, somewhat similar to those of plesiomorphic bandicoots. The zalambdodont molars appear to link it to notoryctid marsupial moles, but detailed study of the teeth of these two groups suggests that they have evolved independently, and Yalkaparidon is anatomically otherwise very different from the marsupial moles. The incisors resemble those of diprotodontians, but no other features convincingly support this relationship, and the convergent evolution of such incisors in South American 'pseudodiprotodont' groups (such as caenolestids and polydolopimorphians) suggests that Yalkaparidon and diprotodontians may have evolved similar incisors independently. Basicranial similarities to bandicoots most likely represent shared plesiomorphic characters, and hence are not indicative of a close relationship.

For these reasons, Yalkaparidon is currently placed in its own family, Yalkaparidontidae, and order, Yalkaparidontia; this placement would make this the only order of Australian marsupials known to have gone extinct. However, Frederick Szalay suggested in his 1994 book 'Evolutionary History of the Marsupials and an Analysis of Osteological Characters' that Yalkaparidon is indeed a diprotodontian (as evinced by its incisors), albeit one that retains a highly primitive basicranium.

The exact function of its unusual dentition remains obscure, and suggestions that it may have fed on worms (based on the similarities of its molars to those of worm-eating tenrecs), caterpillars or eggs are tenuous. However, its source of food presumably had a hard outer covering (necessitating use of the large incisors) but relatively soft interior, as zalambdodont molars cannot crush food items. The possibility that it was a "mammalian woodpecker" similar to the aye-aye and striped possum has been raised.

Morphology
A detailed study on its morphology, including newly referred tarsal material published in 2014 found that it was likely a crown group marsupial, and probably an australidelphian, but its unusual morphology made its precise placement uncertain.

Aligaz of Yejju

Aligaz of Yejju (died 1803) was Ras of Begemder, and Inderase (regent) of the Emperor of Ethiopia. He was the son of Abba Seru Gwangul and brother of Ali I of Yejju; he became both Ras and Inderase following Ali's death. Aligaz had four sons: Dejazmach Birru, Dejazmach Gobeze, Dejazmach Faris, and Dejazmach Gojjee.

Life
He fought and killed Wolde Gabriel, the son of Ras Mikael Sehul in the Battle of Madab in 1788. Although that battle immediately restored Tekle Giyorgis as sole Emperor, Ras Ali's death shortly after the battle passed the post of Inderase to Aligaz, who then supported Hezqeyas as Emperor, leaving Tekle Giyorgis to "hang in the wind". Despite lacking any effective base of support, Tekle Giyorgis remained a thorn in Aligaz's side for the following years, even releasing his kindred from the Imperial prison at Wehni in 1789. Aligaz eventually gets control of Tekle Giyorgis when, after two years of living as a shifta, the Emperor came to Aligaz seeking his support but instead was imprisoned at Emakina.

Tekle Giyorgis, however, was not Aligaz's only problem. For much of the first year of Hezqeyas' rule Aligaz could not directly intervene to support this emperor because he had his hands full consolidating his own position amongst the Yejju, which included the opposition from members of his own family such as Dejazmach Alula, the Fitawrari Sadiq, and the Jantirar Yasufe. Crummey records a tradition that Aligaz had wronged his sister Kafay, an injury which might help to explain the apparent conflict between Aligaz and his nephews Gugsa and Alula, for whom he generally appears to be their primary patron.

Further once Tekle Giyorgis was safely out of the picture, his puppet Emperor Hezqeyas met with Abuna Yosab and Ichege Wolde Iyasus where all agreed that they would "not submit to the Galla" -- a clear reference to either Aligaz or his family; the Royal Chronicle records that later that year a battle was fought near Gondar where the Emperor and the two leaders of the Ethiopian church were defeated. "And on the coming of the Galla all that was what was done."

Then, in an attempt to overthrow Aligaz, Haile Wand Bewossen freed Tekle Giyorgis in 1793, after the Emperor had been confined for two years and eight months. Tekle Giyorgis then marched against his rival Emperor, Hezqeyas, who was dwelling at Gondar; Hezqeyas left Gondar and sought the help of Dejazmach Haile Eshte, and they were joined by Aligaz. A series of battles followed that year, which led to Heqzeyas fleeing alone to Dengel Ber.

These defeats also led to Ras Aligaz's fall from leadership of the Yejju. When Hezqeyas returns to Gondar in late 1793 at the head of an army, his supporters include Dejazmach Gugsa, the nephew of Aligaz. After fourteen years as Enderase, Ras Aligaz Gwangul died in 1803 due to an illness. His period of rule was punctuated by significant civil wars and as a result, he did not exercise complete authority continuously throughout his years as Enderase. Ras Asrat and Ras Wolde Gabriel scored decisive victories against him, and at one point, had pushed him out of Begemeder which they ruled for some time. The transfer of power from Aligaz to Gugsa made the sons of Aligaz subservient to him.

User talk:Original Digga

About my alias
I am an independent song writer, singer and rapper.

I was a founding member of the original four-peice Adelaide band Blind Freddy. I coined the terms Digga and Skip Hop when I was rapping in that band. Actually it's more like a revival from the old Australian WWI-era equivalent for friend or peer (traditionaly spelled "digger").

I borrowed the term but changed the spelling to align with the Hip Hop word spelled similarly but beggining with "n". The reasons are to differentiate my own music from the American form, and because the word "digga" carries no racist overtones. I also felt the expression deserved to come back into general useage.

These terms have also been used extensively by my former Blind Freddy bandmate Jason in his own songs. He now fronts the original Skip Hop band J-Hoe.

Zabulon vs. Zavulon
It's spelled Zabulon in the books, but Zavulon in the movies. The consensus was the articles should follow the spelling of their subject. - Richfife (talk) 07:02, 14 January 2008 (UTC)

Byford, Western Australia

Byford is a suburb on the south-eastern edge of Perth, Western Australia, within the Shire of Serpentine-Jarrahdale. The town has its origins in a township that was gazetted under the name "Beenup" in 1906. In 1920, the name of the township was changed to Byford.

Toponym
The original name of Byford was 'Beenup'. "Beenup", a corruption of the Aboriginal name associated with nearby Beenyup Brook, was the spelling that had been applied to a railway siding there. The uncorrupted form, "Bienyup" received mention in surveyor Robert Austin's account of an expedition through the area in 1848. On April 23, 1920, the name of the township was changed to Byford. Byford was chosen through a ballot which included other names such as Beenup, Beenyup, Glengeorge and Winterbourne. From 19 to 22 November 2020, the Byford Progress Association held centenary celebrations of the naming.

Colonial period and early 20th century
Little has been documented of the Aboriginal occupation of the Byford area, but material traces of the district's original inhabitants have been found in numerous locations.

During the colonial period, the foothills were on the periphery of Thomas Peel's 1834 land grant, and during the 1840s European settlers took up small land holdings around the area at Wungong and Cardup. By the 1890s, the area was settled by a small number of large landowners, with names of early settlers included Lazenby, Mead, and Liddelow. Mead was an enterprising farmer with numerous landholdings in the foothills between the Serpentine River and the Wongong Brook, and at East Rockingham. Majority of early settlers in Byford lived in poor conditions before they obtained building supplies for houses, and often had large families with up to 13 children.

Brickmaking contributed much to the development of Byford. Shale at Cardup had already come to the attention of colonists by the 1850s, but it was not until around the turn of the 20th century that a commercial brickmaking venture commenced at Cardup. In 1903, John Millard (a former manager of the Bunning Bros brickworks in East Perth) established The Cardup Steam Pressed Brick Company. Two years later, he entered into partnership with Atkins and Law, a rising giant in Western Australia's commercial world. With an injection of capital from Atkins and Law, the brickworks grew to become one of the state's leading producers of pressed shale brick.

A second major brickworks was set up at Beenup, north of Cardup, in 1913. This industry was a state government initiative aimed at reducing the cost of worker housing. Like the brickworks operating at Cardup and Armadale, this one exploited the shale deposits of the escarpment to produce high quality pressed brick and used the railway to transport the finished product to customers. The State Brickworks at Byford closed down in 1964, due in part to its operations being eclipsed by a new brickworks in Armadale. The Cardup brickworks closed in 2012, but much of the infrastructure is still extant.

Shortly after the brickworks had been established at Beenup, local land owner Mr C C Blythe (of Blythewood Park Estate) initiated the planning of another townsite on the eastern side of the rail line - a convenient distance from the brickworks and highway. The new townsite, which is now the most established part of Byford, has a distinctive square plan in which are centred two concentric circles, long diagonal roads, and short perpendicular roads. Blythe gave the new settlement a hall. A new name for the township was chosen by residents in 1919 and gazetted the following year. Anglican and Presbyterian churches and a state school were among the first community buildings erected in Byford.

The original 1906 township was located south-west of the intersection of Soldiers Road and Mead Street but it appears that little if any housing was built in that area until much later in the 20th century. However, the 1906 townsite included an allocation of land for recreation which is still used for that purpose today.

Construction of the South Western Railway reached the district in 1892. The railway was used to transport timber and, later in the 1910s, egg and milk from Byford to Perth. Some time later a stop bearing the name Beenup was established in the vicinity of the present day township. In 1957 a station was established on the line between Abernethy Road and Mead Street. After a long period of disuse, this station was demolished around 1990. The current Byford station is located just south of this. It is served by Transwa's twice daily Australind service from Perth to Bunbury.

In the 1920s the estate of a local land-owner, Samuel Bateman, was subdivided into smaller farms for the Group Settlement Scheme. The Group Settlement Scheme also brought out 40 families to Byford to establish dairy farms, but majority of the families abandoned the land grants due to the area's poor soil and high water table.

Armament depot
Following the Fall of Singapore, a secret armament depot was established in Byford in 1942, due to its rail access and being far enough from the coast to be safe from a seaborne attack by the Japanese. Other sites considered were Cannington and Cardup. In December 1942, the Allied Works Council began storing explosives from Britain. The depot was later expanded to provide for mines and gunnery equipment. Throughout World War II, it supplied armaments to Allied navies except the Americans, and when British submarines began operating in Fremantle in 1944, it was the assembly point of submarine ammunition. At its peak it employed around 250 civilian workers, and by May 1948 it was 141. The depot was disclosed to the public at the end of the war. It costed £250,000 to construct, and had a value of £1,000,000 by 1945.

Its security was provided by the Naval Dockyard Police (NDP), which was the last branch of the Royal Australian Army to be horse-borne. Byford was one of only two depots in Australia to be patrolled by the NDP, the other being Newington, New South Wales. The NDP patrolled the Byford depot up to 1952, when it was transferred to HMAS Leeuwin. The depot was known during the war as "R.A.N. 145", and then as "Naval Armament Depot, Fremantle" up to 1947 when it was renamed Naval Armament Depot, Byford.

In 1981, the depot in Byford was relocated to Garden Island, and in 2005 the remaining buildings were demolished for the housing estate "Byford on the Scarp".

As part of Serpentine-Jarrahdale
In 1977, the local government responsibilities for Byford were transferred from the Shire of Armadale-Kelmscott (now the City of Armadale) to the Shire of Serpentine-Jarrahdale. Recently, Byford has become an extension of the Perth metropolitan area, connected to the Kwinana Freeway by Thomas Road, and has experienced a substantial rise in population.

Historically, Byford's rural land supported sheep, beef and dairy cattle, orchards, and a vineyard (Sunrays, owned by the Vlasich family), but in recent decades there has been an increase in hobby farms geared to equine pursuits, and more recently housing estates with generous lot sizes.

A Free Reformed Church was opened on the corner of Soldiers Road and Mead Street in 1987, and a private school was later built alongside this church.

In the early 2010s, "The Glades" was developed in the town's west and it became the first real estate development in the state to receive certification in the three categories of the UDIA EnviroDevelopment program. The development went on to win three awards, including two national awards. The Glades derives its name from the area's wide green spaces. The estate's precincts of Coral Gardens is named after the abundance of coral trees in it; William's Place is named after William Percival Nairn, who was a farmer in the Cardup-Beenup area and served in World War II; and Icaria after the Greek island of the same name.

In 2017, the WA-based company WBHO Infrastructure in joint venture with the Singaporean Phoenix Solar to construct the Byford Solar Farm. The farm will become the first utility scale solar farm to be located in a metropolitan area in Australia, and the largest solar farm within WA. Upon completion, it will generate around 80,000 MWh annually for the South-West integrated system. It is being developed by WestGen. Originally expected to be operational in 2018, WestGen received a two-year extension in 2022. The project is expected to cost $140 million.

Cultural and natural sites
Established in 1982, Cohunu Koala Park is a wildlife sanctuary. The sanctuary houses dingoes, koalas, kangaroos, wallabies, emus, deer and owls among others. Byford contains numerous other parks and public ovals.

Lake Allambee is an artificial lake in The Glades. The name 'Lake Allambee' comes from an Aboriginal language in Victoria and means "to sit" or "to remain a while". In 2018, a project was undertaken to eradicate invasive fish species from the lake. On 15 June 2021, rotenone was used to eradicate Pearl Chichlid and Mosquitofish from the water. Cultural sites include a war memorial to those who fought in World War I and II, and the Korean, Malaysian, Borneo and Vietnam Wars. A larger war memorial dedicated to the ANZACs opened on 18 April 2015. The memorial commemorates 321 soldiers from Byford who died. World War I centennial events were held at this memorial on 11 November 2018.

Religious sites in Byford include the Saint Aidan Anglican church, the Free Reformed Church of Byford, Byford Baptist Church, and Centrepoint Church.

Originally a dairy farm, the Byford Trotting Training Complex was established in 1969. The complex was saved from future urbanisation in the late 1990s.

Sculptures
Byford contains nine sculptures developed by Zen Luks which portray historical and cultural aspects of Byford. Each sculpture is located on the 7 km long Byford Sculpture trail along the South Western highway. The four northernmost are at the northern entrance after the intersection between Thomas road and South Western highway. The first is the Byford sign, followed by sculptures of a girl with a cow to represent the early diary industry, a tractor which represents Byford's agricultural industry in the 1930s and a trotter driver to represent the trotting complex that opened in 1969. Subsequent sculptures represent Charlie Knox, a traffic inspector in Byford in the 1940s and 1950s; Sister Wossley who nursed children in the 1940s; a returned serviceman; Rivorse, who ran a dead heat with Eurythmic in the 1919 Perth cup; two boxing kangaroos; a brickworker who worked at the brickworks in the 1920s; a cockatoo; and a kangaroo at the southern entrance.

Education

As a rapidly developing suburb, Byford has seen an increase in education institutions.

Education has been provided to children in the area since 1908 when Estelle Nairn, Byford's first full-time teacher, began teaching at her parents' farm, with about 8 children usually attending. This lasted for 3-years before she died of typhoid. Two more schools operated in the 1910s before Byford Primary School (BPS) was founded in 1921, making it the oldest school in the area. In 2015, it became an independent school. Due to the Kindergarten's closure, an early childhood building was added in 2018. In 2023, former student Damien Oliver returned to BPS before his retirement. The school also teaches Italian. Opened in 1993 due to overcrowding at BPS, Marri Grove Primary school is a government school that also has an established Indonesian program. Byford John Calvin school was opened on 29 January 1999 next to the Free Reformed Church and is private. On Byford's west, the government school of West Byford Primary opened in February 2013. Salvado Catholic College, a Catholic school for students from Kindergarten to Year 12 was opened in 2016. The college is named after its patron Dom Rosendo Salvado, who inspired the school's motto “Peace, Justice, Compassion. It also teaches Italian. In 2017, Woodland Grove Primary School opened and is a government school. The last school to open was Beenyup Primary School in 2020 as another government school.

Byford and the Shire of Serpentine-Jarrahdale's only secondary-only school is the government Byford Secondary College, which opened in 2014.

The Byford Community Kindergarten was built in 1978. In March 2017, Department of Fire and Emergency Services deemed it high risk to bushfire due to surrounding bushland. It reopened in 2019.

Library
On 29 March 2021, the council of Serpentine-Jarrahdale decided to move the shire's library services from its library in Mundijong to Byford Hall. Shire President Michelle Rich said that the move was due to the Mundijong library having little capacity to meet future growth, and that a new library in Byford would be closer to the majority of the LGA's population. The project costed $2.65 million.

Road transport
Byford is the location of the intersection between South Western Highway and Thomas Road, acting also as the eastern terminus of Thomas Road. As part of the Metronet Byford Rail Extension Project, the section of Thomas Road before the intersection was raised in order to remove the train crossing previously there. The new Thomas Road bridge opened on 15 November 2022. Below are the two major roads that go through Byford and their direction:

 * South Western Highway (State Route 20) – south to Pinjarra and Bunbury.
 * Thomas Road (State Route 21) - west to Kwinana; eastern terminus in Byford.

Other important roads include Abernethy road, which connects Oakford to the South Western Highway; Nettleton road, which connects Byford to Jarrahdale through Karrakup; and Soldiers road, which connects to Mundijong. On 18 December 2023, the Larsen road rail crossing was closed permanently as part of Metronet. The crossing acts as a key crossing in Byford over the railway and is located besides Marri Grove The closure sparked backlash from the public over fears it'll increase traffic on Abernathy and Thomas road, and over why the crossing is not being raised like other crossings in Armadale. To deal with school demand, a temporary drop-off area will be created near Marri Grove in January 2024, while a temporary pedestrian bridge will operate in place of the crossing from January until April 2024 when a permanent pedestrian bridge is built.

Public transport
As part of the Metronet Byford Rail Extension Project, the Armadale line will be extended 8 km south to a new station in Byford. As part of the extension, the Armadale Line is set to be shut down 20 November 2023. The new station will be situated opposite George street and will consist of three platforms serving passengers of the Australind and Armadale lines. Rita Saffioti, the state's Minister of Transport, and Hugh Jones, local Member of the Legislative Assembly, spoke of the station by saying it would boost Byford's future development and growth.

Governmental view of the atonement
Hi, KHM03, I read some of the links under Atonement (Governmental view) and tried to incorporate some more explanation into the text. Perhaps you can correct or expand it as necessary, since you're probably more familiar with it than I. In particular, I'd like to see a brief explanation of the name "governmental" and more detail on the necessity and effect of Christ's death (perhaps starting around the sentence "Instead, God publicly demonstrated..."). Cheers! --Flex 19:13, 18 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Thanks
It's great to be appreciated, I stumbled on the page whilst correcting a link to Kinosis (sic). Christian Theology is the one subject I know something about, so I try to be helpful. --Doc Glasgow 17:19, 23 Apr 2005 (UTC)

User:AlienNation
Unfortunately, vandalism is quite common on wikipedia. Luckily, the sophomoric vandals such as AlienNation quickly tire of potty humor and move on to other endeavors. For more persistent vandals, we usually impose blocks, see Blocking policy. In the meantime, you can help out by removing vandalism like that wherever you see it.

Thanks for adding the picture of Phoebe Palmer. I still haven't figured out how to do that. Her article is one of my pet articles, and I would like to see it become great.

Stole
Good catch on the stole article. I almost always remember to put "as well as many other Christian denominations" or "Many liturgical Christian denominations also..." when I make a change that is not particularly Catholic specific, but I missed that one.

Allies (comics)
Hi. Noticed you had just joined up to WikiProject Comics and wanted to say welcome, and also point you to Allies (comics) which is currently listed for deletion. I noticed you had an interest in golden age comics, and we think this is a page about The Young Allies, who appeared in All Star Comics, I believe. Anyway, if you have any thoughts or comments, please feel free to make them at Votes for deletion/Allies (comics). Steve block 23:05, 16 May 2005 (UTC)

my proposal
Hi,

I just announced I am stepping away from the proposal discussion for several days. I know I have polarized the discussion, which I didn't want to do. If you are willing, I hope you will visit the page periodically and do whatever you can or think is appropriate to facilitate discussion between both sides.

Thanks

Christianity
Thanks for noticing - I am more lucky than fast - though - I just happened to refresh my watchlist and see the anon edit and like always check it and I happened to have read the last one before the anon earlier today - I really should see if he did anymore damage - but it is such a pain to revert by finding the correct version in the history.

Hey:

I saw your note on my talk page, and I appreciate it. Until yesterday, I hadn't had anyone bite my head off over anything, and it was really unsettling. I'm still not sure what I'm going to do, but I am glad to know there are nice people like you out there. You deserve a second big gold star and another plenary indulgence. Essjay 08:56, May 18, 2005 (UTC)

Hyper-Calvinism
Thanks for your comments and insight. You are correct that Hyper-Calvinism (while always a small minority view) has not been relegated to the past. It can still be found in a few small pockets or congregations in England and here in the U. S. I will try to include comments to that effect in the coming days -- if you choose not to do so yourself. If you have a specific internet link to existing Hyper views, let me know or add it in your own revision.

My only motive in re-writing the Hyper-Calvinism entry was to clarify that there is a specific, historical definition of hyper-Calvinism which is tied to the English Particular Baptist controversy in the 1700's. Today's usage of the term is most often in the broader non-technical sense, amounting to name-calling, which I feel is inaccurate at best.

It seems as if anyone to the right of one’s own theological position is fair game to be labeled a hyper-Calvinist. For example, Arminians regard four-point Calvinists as hyper-Calvinists because they hold to unconditional election. The four-point Calvinist views the five-point Calvinist as “hyper” because he holds to a limited atonement. We also find five-point infralapsarians referring to five-point supralapsarians as hyper-Calvinists because of their view of the relationship between the fall of man and God’s predestination of the elect. It's almost comical. :-) Regards,  Jim Ellis 14:17, 20 May 2005 (UTC)

Theology and NPOV
Thanks again. My goal is to present a Neutral Point of View and report the facts as best I can. However, in discussing theology it is often difficult to avoid evidence of bias. I would be glad to have an Arminian friend in Wikipedia to challenge me when needed. Jim Ellis 14:40, 20 May 2005 (UTC)

I very much appreciate your personal comment. As to what acts reflect Christianity, I do have enough Christian friends to know how a real one acts, which I always appreciate and respect, Slrubenstein  |  Talk  18:13, 20 May 2005 (UTC)

Stoles in the UMC
Since the UMC has changed the definition of a deacons/elders/perm. deacons/diaconals, etc, does a deacon still wear his stole diagonally? I'm trying to think of the deacons I know and I can't see one in my mind wearing a stole... The only firm image of a diagonal stole is Robert Fijis(sp?) from Broadway UMC in Paducah when he was a diaconal minister (rather than a deacon of some sort now). --Chiacomo 06:33, 28 May 2005 (UTC)

There are a couple of documents from the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB) I thought you might be interested in:

 * Methodist-Catholic Dialogues: Thirty Years of Mission and Witness

 * Agreed Report on the Local/Universal Church: Anglican-Roman Catholic Consultation in the United States of America

I shared your question and my answer with a friend of mine, and he seemed to think that I might have been a bit too legalistic in my answer, and that you might not have actually gotten an answer to what you wanted to know. Let me know if you still have questions. Essjay 01:27, May 31, 2005 (UTC)

As Promised
You know, I promised you the "Strides in Ecumenism Award," a big gold star, and a plenary indulgence, and I haven't followed through. So, here they are:

 Congrats and good work! Essjay 11:02, May 31, 2005 (UTC)

You have no idea how much it made me smile to see that you put my "awards" on your User page. All I can say is "From the One Who Was, Who Is, and Who Is to Come: Grace, light, and peace be with you always." (It's a Catholic thing...) Essjay 12:52, May 31, 2005 (UTC)

Methodist Apostolocity
"The grace and peace of our Lord Jesus Christ, the love of God, and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with you always."

When I first saw the link you provided, I thought it said "Methodist Apostacy" not "Apostolocity"...I thought "Oh God, what has the Vatican said now???"

Anyhow, I didn't read the article all the way through (but rest assured, I will get to it!) I just wanted to comment on your "side" comment: "though you would likely disagree with it." I want to make sure you realize that I'm not actually Catholic; my interest in the church is academic and aesthetic. Sure, I've spent my life studying the Catholic Church, but that doesn't mean I agree with it! My personal theology is very liberal; I'm Disciples of Christ, and I'm on the extreme liberal side of the DOC. (So that makes me extreme left of the extreme left, I guess...)

On the issue at hand, I don't disagree at all that the Methodist Church has whatever form of apostolic succession it claims to have! As long as they (you) have proof to back it up, like the "geneology" provided on the site you linked to, I believe it; if the MC decided to claim "all our clergy have been personally ordained by the Roman Catholic Pope, the Orthodox Patriarch, and the Emperor of Neptune" then I might disagree! If anything, I disagree that apostolic succession is necessary (or more accurately, that some individuals have it while others don't). In my extremist view, I disagree with anything that limits God, i.e. God can only work through a specific group of people with the proper credentials. For Heaven's sake, Jesus picked fishermen, tax collectors, and the chief persecutor of Christians to be apostles! Talk about credentials!

I just wanted to make sure that was clear; I know about them, but I'm not one of 'em! The answers I give to "what does the Church teach" questions are always what the Church teaches, not what I believe. (Oddly, I've never been asked "What do you think?") I act as a sort of "devil's advocate" so-to-speak. So, my answer to your question was "Catholic by proxy;" I was just saying what they would have said, although they might have said it in Latin...

Anyhow, I'm prepping my research on the "five solas" controversy, and will post a response there as soon as I make sure I know what I'm talking about (I'd hate to have missed an ex cathedra pronouncement somewhere along the line!) Peace be with you! Essjay (talk) 23:35, Jun 10, 2005 (UTC)

Okay, I've answered on "five solas." Give it the once-over. By the way, thanks for the "good catch" on Alleluia; maybe I should award myself the "Strides in Ecumenism Award!" PAX VOBISCUM! Essjay (talk) 01:08, Jun 11, 2005 (UTC)

Hey KHM, wellcome back from your Holiday! I just noticed a request on Talk:Indulgence for the views of other Christians, and I immediately thought of you, the master ecumenist! Could you give Indulgence a look?

 * If you have a second, can you evaluate the accuracy of my edits in prevenient grace and total depravity vis-a-vis Methodism? My edits in the latter were revised with the comment, "Methodists do not differ so radically from the Arminian position, as these sentences affirm they do. Revising accordingly." Thanks! --Flex 13:29, 22 Jun 2005 (UTC)

 * Hoping to get this on your to-do list. :-) If you don't have time, that's fine. --Flex June 28, 2005 20:09 (UTC)

 * I asked Jim Ellis to give his two cents on total depravity, and he asked a question at Talk:Total depravity that you can probably handle better than I. --Flex July 1, 2005 17:23 (UTC)

Keith, I hope you take my edits to prevenient grace and imparted righteousness in the spirit I intended. My goal is to be forthright and helpful to the articles. My latest cut in "imparted righteousness" should be more palatable. BTW, it is not necessarily a concept I disagree with. :-) Along that line, I am thinking that a section in the Righteousness article to address imputed, imparted, and infused all together would be helpful, but I'm not sure I'm up to the challenge.  Hope you are having a great vacation.  Jim Ellis 15:02, July 29, 2005 (UTC)

Roman Catholic Church
Hey KHM, welcome back, again!

My take on the RCC article is this: I revised most of the criticism section; I didn't really do a lot, as far as I'm concerned, besides shorten it up and try to make it more concise. My personal criticisms of the church fall in the "contemporary criticisms" section, and I feel like it does a fair job of mentioning them. The other areas, I don't know about. I asked for input from people who actually hold the views, and got slapped with "you just want to make it Catholic Criticism run amok."

One user asked for a review of the anti-Semitism section, so I expanded it to give a better idea of the Church's position; I feel like it really should be cut down. However, for the most part, I am at a loss, and inclined to throw up my hands and refuse to work on it under my "no controversey" policy. I feel like if I make it any more apologetic, I'll take fire from the critics, and if I make it any more critical, I'll take fire from the Catholics. I'm in the strange position of being one of the few people who really has an NPOV (I see the Church academically, not as a critic or supporter).

I'm under a bit of an attack by Lima for I don't know what. Truthfully, I think if he has problems with the article, he should just make the changes. He strikes me as an uber-apologist, so I doubt I can ever really make him happy. For now, I'm just going to stay away from the article. -- Essjay ·  Talk 17:32, Jun 23, 2005 (UTC)

Reprobation
KHM03, I wish you would give me a first name to call you, I feel we're getting to the "first name basis" stage of our relationship. :-) It would seem odd to address you as saint KHM03.

Regarding Reprobation, I hoped you would appreciate the bluntness of Boettner's summary, I know it flies in the face of Arminianism. It should be easy to snipe at because he doesn't pull any punches. I know many Calvinists who wince at the doctrine and try to soft pedal it -- preferring to say that God positively chose some while leaving the others to their just deserts, and we should not look at the flip side as an active reprobation to condemnation. Boettner says, rightly, that by choosing only some to salvation, God logically, by definition, chose the remainder for condemnation. It is interesting to note that the doctrine of Reprobation is the very point that drove the Remonstrants (according to scholarly sources).

Your Wikipedian friend (in spite of theological differences), Jim Ellis July 6, 2005 22:22 (UTC)

 * Dear St. Keith, I find the quote by Grider quite acceptable. While I remain predominately Calvinistic in my personal theology, I do not think one must believe in the "five points' to be a genuine Christian saved by grace. If a person has faith in the Christ of the Bible and is trusting in Him alone for life and eternal salvation, I consider that person a fellow Christian.  As Charles Spurgeon once said, "I do not ask whether you believe Calvinism. It is possible that you do not. But I believe you will before you enter heaven. I am persuaded that as God may have washed your hearts, He will wash your brains before you enter heaven." (Sermons, Vol. 1, p. 92).  Regards, Jim Ellis July 7, 2005 00:24 (UTC)

Infant Communion
Yes, it reads very POV to me. Honestly, I don't think it's about infant communion at all; it reads like a criticism of the author's local priest's position on communion for the mentally retarded. Frankly, I think most of it should be rewritten, but considering that the author has been so vehement on the talk page, I'm not going near it. Really, a VfD might not be out of line; the topic of infant communion deserves an article, I'm just not sure it's this one. -- Essjay ·  Talk 20:55, July 21, 2005 (UTC)

 * Having re-read the article, I have a few suggestions. First, I think the mental retardation section needs to go entirely. If Sophroniscus wants an article about communion for the mentally disabled, I suggest Communion for the Disabled, which could discuss everything from refusing the Eucharist to the mentally retarded to having Extraordinary Ministers take the Eucharist to the homebound.

 * Second, as I said before, the article has serious POV problems. I've put together my proposed revision in one of my sandboxes; it's basically a rewrite of the existing material, and I'm going to check the sources on it (should be done shortly). Although I don't usually get into content disputes, I'm willing to bring the issue up on the talk page and propose my revision; perhaps my credentials will make Sophroniscus think twice about inserting POV. I think it should be stated clearly that the article is unacceptable as it is now (16:15, July 22, 2005 (UTC)) and that if there is opposition to removing the POV material (particularly the information on mental retardation) then an RfC should be filed. I'm willing to offer "expert testimony," as it were, for an RfC.

 * Honestly, I think that Sophroniscus should have taken his/her concerns to the diocesan bishop, rather than writing an encyclopedia article, but that is only my opinion. A sneaking suspicion tells me that the Wikipedia article hasn't done a lot to redress his/her grievances. -- Essjay ·  Talk 16:15, July 22, 2005 (UTC)

NB: I moved the proposal from my regular sandbox space to a special page, so there would be a clean talk page to comment on. -- Essjay ·  Talk 16:37, July 22, 2005 (UTC)

I wonder if you would consider voting on this VfD. It is headed for 'no consensus', which IMO would be unfortunate. The article confuses vatious patristic references to give the impression of evidence for a proto-Matthew, in a way no Bible commenary or Bible Dictionary would ever countenance (indeed none mention something called 'Authentic Matthew'). The author's insistance in linking it into other Biblical Studies articles is driving me to desparation. --Doc (?) 21:45, 29 July 2005 (UTC)

Perseverance of the saints
Hi, Keith. I saw your addition of contrarian print resources to Perseverance of the saints. Two questions: Cheers! --Flex 14:16, August 15, 2005 (UTC)
 * 1) Do you see those as necessary in addition to the web resources? (For such a short page with no citations of those books, it seems like overkill to me.)
 * 2) Do those books particularly address the perseverance of the saints, which is to be distinguished from "once saved, always saved"-type eteranal security.

 * Flex...is it this particular Calvinist doctrine that contains the "once saved, always saved" ethos? I've always thought that "eternal security" was a part of or version of perseverance of the saints. If there's another place for it, let me know. I just wanted to present all views...pro and con...in both print and on the web. I just know more "anti" sources than "pro"! Let me know! Thanks...Keith 16:04, 15 August 2005 (UTC)

The Calvinist doctrine of perseverance certainly does teach that somone once saved will always be saved, but that actual phrase is most commonly used by non-Calvinists like Charles Stanley who believe it for different reasons (reasons which Calvinists typically deny). Thus, in my second point, I was asking if those resources deal with the Calvinist version of eternal security, the Stanley-esque version, or both. My first point, however, remains: I think there are too many if they are unreferenced. Just my opinion. Maybe you should create an article on eternal insecurity where they would fit better. ;-) --Flex 16:21, August 15, 2005 (UTC)

 * Flex - the page doesn't really go very far in explaining the difference between "once saved, always saved" and what you're calling the Calvinist view. To most of us, I think they are synonomous.  Maybe you could explicate that a bit more on the page.  Should "Eternal security" or "Once Saved, Always Saved" be a different article from Perseverance?  KHM03 20:48, 15 August 2005 (UTC)
