KitHutch, we would like you to become a member of the Football Variants Taskforce of WikiProject Football.

Hello KitHutch, it is nice to meet you. I came across your page when I went through the list of people who had edited articles in this category about Football variants, and I wondered if you were intrested in joining a new taskforce that covers this category, as we are looking for members. Thank you for your time - DeMoN 2009

Thanks for uploading File:UClogo.jpg. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'file' pages you have edited by clicking on the " my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "File" from the dropdown box. Note that all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Rockfang ( talk) 21:10, 28 July 2009 (UTC) reply

I understand that the Bible section of the page discusses the beliefs of orthodox Lutheranism. The article clearly says as much. Although this is a limited topic, that does not mean that article is POV. It just means that someone can expand the article by mentioning the contributions of Modern Liberal Protestantism and how Rationalism and Liberal & Neo-orthodox Reformed scholars influenced the development of Lutheranism through history. This might be easiest to do in the History section. By the use of the word liberal, I am not implying insult, but instead just using the terms traditionally used to discuss them.-- Epiphyllumlover ( talk) 15:05, 18 August 2009 (UTC) reply

I remember reading some Lutheran theologians from ELCA predecessor churches that were unwilling to say the Bible is the Word of God. Dr. Kersten's study, "The Lutheran Ethic" in 1970-71 revealed that 11% LCA, 32% ALC, 43% LCMS, and 74% WELS college students surveyed at the time agreed that the Bible was God's Word. For pastors, 29% LCA, 35% ALC, 62% LCMS, and 77% WELS thought the Bible to be the Word of God. I personally know one current theologian that is only willing to accept the idea with qualifications. There really is no agreement on any doctrine among those that call themselves Lutheran.-- Epiphyllumlover ( talk) 20:55, 18 August 2009 (UTC) reply

Thanks for your help in keeping the NPOV of the ELCA article. Since the user who keeps adding the offending text to the lead paragraph appears to be shifting IP addresses, maybe it makes more sense to have the article locked so only registered users can edit it, as I've seen done with some other articles. You seem to know more about how to deal with this sort of thing than I do. What's the process? Ruckabumpkus ( talk) 14:45, 22 June 2010 (UTC) reply

It is beyond me how the two of you can claim to be enforcing the NPOV when you continue to cover for the lies and untruths of the the ELCA. The fact of the matter is, THE ELCA IS NO LONGER 4.8 or 4.6 million strong and I have offered proof in two different websites they can't be! Stop trying to block the truth or I will have to assume you are on the ELCA payroll and report you appropriately! Kit, it is beyond me how you can truly know anything about the ELCA at all since it appears you were raised Catholic! What is your burning interest in protecting the lies of the ELCA?

To "Conservative Mark" (username not actually regisgtered): If you are Lutheran, I invite you to meditate for a while on Luther's explanation of the 8th Commandment. Ruckabumpkus ( talk) 14:28, 5 July 2010 (UTC) reply

To "Conservative Mark," although it doesn't matter, I was raised United Methodist, but attended a Catholic high school. Then, I affirmed by baptism at an ELCA congregation in 2005 where I have been attending since. The ELCA will report new membership figures eventually. All denomination report their own membership numbers even the Roman Catholic Church. I understand that you have a strong opinion, but it needs to be in the proper context with properly cited articles. You also need to realize that phrases like "lies" and "untruth" are not part of a neutral point of view. I do suggest that you read Martin Luther's "Small Catechism." When it comes to the 8th Commandment, Luther wrote, "We are to fear and love God, so that we do not tell lies about our neighbors, betray or slander them, or destroy their reputations. Instead, we are to come to their defense, speak well of them, and interpret everything they do in the best possible light." KitHutch ( talk) 19:10, 5 July 2010 (UTC) reply

[[User:]]Werieth state that the images are in violation of WP:NFTABLE. But the policy does state that the exemptions are given on a case by case basis.

A tag has been placed on Tacoma Stars (disambiguation) requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G14 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is an orphaned disambiguation page which either

• disambiguates only one extant Wikipedia page and whose title ends in "(disambiguation)" (i.e., there is a primary topic);
• disambiguates zero extant Wikipedia pages, regardless of its title; or
• is a redirect with a title ending in "(disambiguation)" that does not target a disambiguation page or page that has a disambiguation-like function.

Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such pages may be deleted at any time. Please see the disambiguation page guidelines for more information.

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 deleted 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. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator.

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed! Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by Dan arndt was:

This submission's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article—that is, they do not show significant coverage (not just passing mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject (see the guidelines on the notability of music-related topics). Before any resubmission, additional references meeting these criteria should be added (see technical help and learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue). If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia.

 The comment the reviewer left was:

Fails WP:NALBUM, lacks significant coverage in multiple independent reliable secondary sources.

No. American English uses singular for collective nouns. "My team is winning". Every MLS team used this form. Five did not, but I have corrected those. Do a quick Google search. This is even addressed at MOS:PLURALS where it reads "In British English, such words are sometimes treated as singular, but more often treated as plural, according to context", the article on collective nouns: "In American English, collective nouns almost always take singular verb forms (formal agreement)", and other places. In short, if "every other North American sports team uses it", they should not. Walter Görlitz ( talk) 17:03, 29 May 2020 (UTC) reply

So Wikipedia does things differently from the Associated Press Style Manual, Chicago Business Style Manual, and the Modern Language Association. That makes a lot of sense to not follow formal grammar rules from organizations established to make grammar rules. Next time I read in the newspaper “The New York Red Bulls are winners,” I will write the paper and tell them they are wrong. ----

Thanks for uploading File:Ody2.jpg, which you've attributed to http://www.odyoung-csd.k12.ny.us/photoweb/00_Owen%20D%20Young%20CS.jpg. I noticed that while you provided a valid copyright licensing tag, there is no proof that the creator of the file has agreed to release it under the given license.

If you are the copyright holder for this media entirely yourself but have previously published it elsewhere (especially online), please either

• make a note permitting reuse under the CC BY-SA or another acceptable free license (see this list) at the site of the original publication; or
• Send an email from an address associated with the original publication to permissions-en@wikimedia.org, stating your ownership of the material and your intention to publish it under a free license. You can find a sample permission letter here. If you take this step, add {{ permission pending}} to the file description page to prevent premature deletion.

If you did not create it entirely yourself, please ask the person who created the file to take one of the two steps listed above, or if the owner of the file has already given their permission to you via email, please forward that email to permissions-en@wikimedia.org.

If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Non-free content, use a tag such as {{ non-free fair use}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:File copyright tags#Fair use, and add a rationale justifying the file's use on the article or articles where it is included. See Wikipedia:File copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have provided evidence that their copyright owners have agreed to license their works under the tags you supplied, too. Here is a list of your uploads. Files lacking evidence of permission may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described in section F11 of the criteria for speedy deletion. You may wish to read Wikipedia's image use policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. -- TheImaCow ( talk) 09:34, 11 January 2024 (UTC) reply
