== Kokomo ==

IndyGuy:

I want you to know that I did not intend to step on your edits of Kokomo. I had been working on some revisions and when I went to sage, I saw the conflict with your posting. I tried to carefuly save all your edits when I saved mine, but it was just easier to save overtop of your paragraph that try to reconstruct my own edits. If in the process I deleted an edit of yours, it was not my intent. Feel free to put back if you like.

Cheers,

Hi! About [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Cathedral_High_School_%28Indianapolis%29&oldid=prev&diff=696897148 this edit], I don't know of ''enough'' all male primary and secondary schools in the State of Indiana.

If I know of at least five I'll make a template (like [[Template:Boys' schools in Illinois]]) for that particular state. But if there's too few I just do a see also. Right now I only know of two all boys' or former all boys' schools in the entire state.

== Opinion, please ==

Would you mind offering an opinion at [[Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Log/2016 August 16]] in the CFD for [[:Category:Metropolitan school districts in Indiana]]?  Four years living in Indiana (specifically, in a [[Monroe County Community School Corporation|school corporation]]) wasn't enough to help me understand the differences between school corporations, school cities, school towns, and metropolitan school districts, so it would help to have an outside opinion on whether the MSDs ought to have their own category.

:Having been around when Unigov was enacted, I've always known the Beech Grove, Lawrence, Southport, and Speedway are the excluded cities, and all the other municipalities are included. The [[Unigov]] article has the information, and https://www.cgr.org/consensuscny/docs/CaseStudies_ec-unigov514.pdf and http://www.lwvindy.org/files/unigovhandbookweb_2011.pdf are a couple of links. Cumberland is unusual in that the portion of the town within Marion County is subject to Unigov as an included city/town, while the portion in Hancock County is independent of Unigov simply because it's outside the boundaries of Marion County.

== Marking a non-vandal edit as vandal ==

[[User:Indyguy|Indyguy]] If you wished to revert the change and open discussion topic in the talk page that would have been more appropriate. The concept of [[historical Jesus]] is as old as [[Jesus]] the difference being solely one is based on provable fact and the other based on hearsay. You failed to address my summary in your own and violated the NPOV by marking my change as a vandalism. It is very likely that you are a non-Arain Cristian and my change offended you. Vandalism is a serious violation of the basic ideology in Wikipedia and is not a term that should be thrown around lightly. This will also be posted in the [[Talk:Arian controversy]] where this should have been addressed in the first place.

== Luther and Indulgences ==

Indyguy, let me know if you have proof that the indulgence sellers actually said this.  Tetzel in particular is often accused of all sorts of corruptions, but scholars exonerate him on most charges.  Here's an excerpt from an old Catholic Encyclopedia article found online at http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/14539a.htm:

For a critical scholarly study which shows [Tetzel] in a proper perspective, he had to wait the researches of our own time, mainly at the hands of Dr. Nicholas Paulus, who is closely followed in this article. In the first place, his teaching regarding the indulgences for the living was correct. The charge that the forgiveness of sins was sold for money regardless of contrition or that absolution for sins to be committed in the future could be purchased is baseless. An indulgence, he writes, can be applied only "to the pains of sin which are confessed and for which there is contrition". "No one", he furthermore adds, "secures an indulgence unless he have true contrition". The confessional letters (confessionalia) could of course be obtained for a mere pecuniary consideration without demanding contrition. But such document did not secure an indulgence. It was simply a permit to select a proper confessor, who only after a contrite confession would absolve from sin and reserved cases, and who possessed at the same time facilities to impart the plenary indulgence (Paulus, "Johann Tetzel", 103).  <!-- Template:Unsigned --><small class="autosigned">—&nbsp;Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[User:Amosjohnlong|Amosjohnlong]] ([[User talk:Amosjohnlong#top|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Amosjohnlong|contribs]]) 04:11, 8 February 2017 (UTC)</small> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->

== Why my edit were always reverted? ==

It's what we walk on.  Whether we are referring planet Earth, the Earth that plants grow from, Earthenware creations, Earthquakes, Earthworms, etc, it deserves the trait of being capitalized.

== Editing of the Church of the Lutheran Confessions page ==

Hi Indyguy,

You recently re-added some references I had removed on the "Church of the Lutheran Confession" (CLC) site, indicating that the references I had removed appeared to be reliable.   In our opinion these references are not reliable - these references point to another organization's website which reflects THAT organization's understanding and opinions concerning the issues between our organizations - not our opinions.  Since this Wikipedia page represents The Church of the Lutheran Confession's history and beliefs, it should accurately indicate our opinions and beliefs - not our opinions and beliefs as presented by another organization.   I am responding officially as the CLC Webmaster.  Please email me if you have any questions.  Thanks! Glenn Oster (goster@CLClutheran.com).  [[User:Goster|Glenn]] ([[User talk:Goster|talk]]) 04:16, 13 December 2017 (UTC)

== Enlarge name ==
Is there any place that Wikipedia rules out enlarging the name of a school on top of he infobox, especially if this doesn't require another line? Also, must the address of a school be spread out over more rather than fewer lines: some would regard the brevity more elegant. [[User:Jzsj|Jzsj]] ([[User talk:Jzsj|talk]]) 10:02, 6 January 2018 (UTC)

:{{reply to|Jzsj}} Although there are very few things that the Wikipedia absolutely rules out, one of the concerns is to maintain a consistency from article to article. That's one of the things that infoboxes help to do. So the question becomes, why should this particular school's infobox look different from those of the other thousands of schools. As far as the size of the name is concerned, you say that making it larger does not require another line. Are you sure that's the case on every device and screen size currently in use and that might be used ten years from now? As far as the address is concerned, often an infobox produces microcode used by programs. I don't know if the address elements are affected in that way, but even if they aren't currently, they might be in the future if someone modifies the infobox coding. All in all, it's just better to use the standard setup rather than trying to be fancy in isolated cases. [[User:Indyguy|Indyguy]] ([[User talk:Indyguy#top|talk]]) 14:13, 6 January 2018 (UTC)
:* I see your perspective but I've also found a good deal of tolerance for different points of view, and not reverting others' work unless for obvious reasons. My changing the address format is because I find that some seem to follow the infobox possibilities slavishly, perhaps without seeing the other possibilities of making a more elegant and concise address section. I don't see this as fancy in isolated cases but as preferable in most cases, especially where there's little reason to fill out both the county and the zip code lines. As far as some future changes in codes, I've noted that Wiki tries to avoid such changes precisely not to upset the thousands of articles that are constructed according to the present conventions.
:* As to the title, I find that if "110" doesn't require an extra line, neither will "100" or "125" which are the usual viewing sizes that people might use. There really is no great consistency in how schools choose to use the many options in infoboxes, so enlarging the name to fill the line doesn't seem to me to be out of order; after all, the titles on the top of infoboxes are quite diverse across the whole range of infoboxes, so no one style is being imposed. Respectfully submitted, [[User:Jzsj|Jzsj]] ([[User talk:Jzsj|talk]]) 23:48, 7 January 2018 (UTC)

Hello, you have twice reverted my edits on [[Corydon, Indiana]]. I do not intend to edit war with you, but I want to let you know I disagree with your edit summaries.

Maybe it would be even better just to just say "Corydon was the site of the [[Battle of Corydon]], the only official pitched battle waged in Indiana during the [[American Civil War]]."  and avoid having to mention "war" twice in the same sentence.

== Clermont, Indiana ==

Dear Mr. Indyguy, I'm new to Wikipedia, so I’m new to the editing process. My apologies if I'm not replying to you the usual way.

Here's your explanation for undoing my revision to the article about the small town of Clermont, Indiana:
Undid revision 865439702 by ClermontMB (talk) Need reliable sources of notability for those people that do not have WP articles; the positions they have held are not particularly notable. For those who have WP articles, none of their articles mention Clermont at all, so reliable sources for their connection to the town are needed.

(1) I will work on providing the sources I used for all the people that I listed. I will take your comment "the positions they have held are not particularly notable" into consideration.

(2) I found the Wikipedia article [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Notability_(people) Notability] for determining people are "notable." I will follow those guidelines, including these below: 
A sportsperson is presumed to be notable if the person has actively participated in a major amateur or professional competition or won a significant honor and so is likely to have received significant coverage in reliable secondary sources that are independent of the subject.
The following are presumed to be notable:
Politicians and judges who have held international, national or sub-national (statewide/provincewide) office, and members or former members of a national, state or provincial legislature.[12] This also applies to persons who have been elected to such offices but have not yet assumed them.
Major local political figures who have received significant press coverage.[8]
Just being an elected local official, or an unelected candidate for political office, does not guarantee notability, although such people can still be notable if they meet the primary notability criterion of "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject of the article".  
Many articles contain (or stand alone as) lists of people. Inclusion within stand-alone lists should be determined the normal criteria established for that page. Inclusion in lists contained within articles should be determined by WP:SOURCELIST, in that the entries must have the same importance to the subject as would be required for the entry to be included in the text of the article according to Wikipedia policies and guidelines (including Wikipedia:Trivia sections).

(3) In the future, it would be nice if you could reach out to an editor like me who is new and advise, rather than remove everything first. Some of the notable people in the list I created did have sourcing and were clearly notable, so it would have been better to advise rather than remove those, for example.

== Connersville SR1 ice-over? ==

My family has lived in the town for 60 years, so I'm fairly familiar with the issue.  I70 is the main drag for getting anywhere that matters.  The problem during winter is that I70 gets cleared, but how do you get to I70? By SR1. SR1 is in essence a country road, and won't be routinely cleared by Connersville-based plows because it's not a city or county road.

If you're planning on going somewhere, or receiving a package when the road is closed, you're going to have to wait until the snow melts on its own.  The point is, unlike Richmond, which has US40, when it snows in Connersville, there's no passable road out of town. If you're considering opening a business which does a lot of shipping (like manufacturing cars), do you think that'd matter? [[User:Sbalfour|Sbalfour]] ([[User talk:Sbalfour|talk]]) 20:40, 27 November 2018 (UTC)

::Hello {{reply to|Sbalfour}}. If it really is that unusual, then it should be possible to find a reliable source that says so. The problem is that even though you are a long-time resident and know a lot about the town, you are not a reliable source as far a Wikipedia is concerned. Wouldn't INDOT be responsible for plowing a state road? If so, why would those particular state highways not get plowed? Perhaps a newspaper in Connersville or Richmond has done a story on it. [[User:Indyguy|Indyguy]] ([[User talk:Indyguy#top|talk]]) 21:12, 27 November 2018 (UTC)

:::INDOT is responsible, but state plows aren't based in Connersville but Indianapolis, and SR1 is a long way from Indianapolis.  It gets ignored, or by the time INDOT salts it, it's already become passable by natural conditions.   I don't know of any newspaper stories on it; closures are usually broadcast on TV and radio because they're strictly temporary conditions. No, I'm not a wiki source, but fact is, about 50% of text in wikipedia is unsourced or improperly sourced.  We allow the text because by and large, we want people to write, and allow the text to remain if it's probably true, and probably sourceable  if someone is industrious enough to do the research.  We've got bigger fish to fry than this phrase, so I'm moving on. Cheers, [[User:Sbalfour|Sbalfour]] ([[User talk:Sbalfour|talk]]) 00:21, 28 November 2018 (UTC)
::::{{reply to|Sbalfour}}: According to the map for the Greenfield District of INDOT at https://www.in.gov/indot/2704.htm, Fayette County is in the Cambridge City subdistrict, and there are INDOT units (whatever that exactly entails) at Cambridge City and Liberty. I doubt the plows come all the way from Indy. Maybe you can complain to the Greenfield District at the email address they list.

== Indian Removals in Indiana date of treaty? ==

What treaty was that in 1785 that effected Indian removals in Indiana?  The Treaty of Greenville in 1795 nullified all the older treaties.  The Treaty of Greenville itself didn't effect Indian removals in Indiana, because "the gore" wasn't part of Indiana until AFTER the Indians were removed. There were no Indians in "the Gore" in 1803 when it was ceded, so it wasn't Indiana's problem.  Whether you accept that or not, the date cannot be earlier than 1795.  [[User:Sbalfour|Sbalfour]] ([[User talk:Sbalfour|talk]])

:{{reply to|Sbalfour}}: "1785" is a typo that should be "1795", which I will correct. While the Treaty of Greenville did not mandate removal, it did transfer ownership of the land to the United States, which then proceeded to sell or otherwise transfer it to settlers. The end result is that most of the Indians would not longer be living there, and is certainly part of the process that led to the official removals. And as far as the Gore being part of the Ohio Territory immediately prior to 1803, using that logic would mean that none of the treaties signed prior to 1816 should be in this article since the state of Indiana did not exist until then. The article is talking about the area that is currently the state of Indiana regardless of what jurisdiction it was under at various times. Also, the Greenville treaty is discussed in the body of the article, so mentioning it in the lede is acceptable. [[User:Indyguy|Indyguy]] ([[User talk:Indyguy#top|talk]]) 20:28, 15 January 2019 (UTC)
::Ok - date is a typo, got it.  But if we're generally referring to government action in removing Indians, whether territorial or state government, because it had jurisdiction over the area to remove them, that won't include the gore, because the state of Ohio or the government of the Northwest Territory removed the Indians before it got to Indiana (territory or state).  Harrison never had to trot over on his horse to 'the gore'. [[User:Sbalfour|Sbalfour]] ([[User talk:Sbalfour|talk]]) 20:38, 15 January 2019 (UTC)

== Advice on writing about Forest Park Il election. ==

I am not exactly sure what the procedures are for creating a page, about a small town election. I'm not sure if it is important enough to have a page, but it will be the biggest election in a long time for Forest Park. Anthony Calderone(the mayor) is gonna be gone, and we might have a whole new set of commissioners.
Calderone has been uncontested/little opposition for the past 20 years he was in office. 

I also want to create a page for Anthony calderone because that apparently doesnt exist. I dont know if he is important enough. He is the CEO of an alarm company, and is a long time small town mayor. [[User:Wild1-2001|Wild1-2001]] ([[User talk:Wild1-2001|talk]]) 05:34, 10 March 2019 (UTC)

== Law and Gospel ==

Hello Indyguy,

I added the following text to the section of differences between the reformed and Lutheran view on the Law. I quoted directly from the published works of Luther and Calvin back in the sixteenth century, I quoted directly from Calvin's Institutes_of_the_Christian_Religion and from Luther's commentary on Galatians.  
Both these Books are being published from the sixteenth century from various respectable publishers. I cited their books from https://www.ccel.org, but they published by respectable publishing houses.

Baker book house:
https://bakerbookhouse.com/products/commentary-on-the-epistle-to-the-galatians-9781483701615

https://bakerbookhouse.com/products/the-institutes-of-christian-religion-9780801025242

There some many other publishing houses are publishing these books.

Please review and add my addition to the topic. 

"To Calvin law won’t condemn a man in the conscience after he comes to faith in Christ but rather acts as a guide to the believer. He wrote, “Law does not now perform toward us the part of a hard taskmaster, who will not be satisfied without full payment.” “Law is not to believers what it formerly was; in other words, that law does not, by terrifying and confounding their consciences, condemn and kill.”  But in Luther’s view the Law always terrifies, condemns and kills a believer in his conscience before God, he wrote “The Law requires perfect obedience. It condemns all do not accomplish the will of God. But show me a person who is able to render perfect obedience.” “To live unto the Law is to die unto God. Vice versa, to die unto the Law is to live unto God. If you want to live unto God, bury the Law, and find life through faith in Christ Jesus.” Luther says when a man is Christian, he is free and not under the obligation to keep the law. he believes that Law hss no authority over the conscience of the believer to accuse him or judge him. He wrote “You are above all laws as far as conscience is concerned. You are saved. Christ is your liberty and life.” “we will not give up the liberty of conscience which we have in Christ Jesus. We refuse to have our conscience bound by any work or law so that by doing this or that we should be righteous or leaving this or that undone we should be damned.” While Calvin thinks Law has not lost its authority over believers and they obliged to obey it. He wrote “it must ever remain an indubitable truth, that the law has lost none of its authority over believers, but they must always respect and obey the law.”       "  <!-- Template:Unsigned --><small class="autosigned">—&nbsp;Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[User:Funof2019|Funof2019]] ([[User talk:Funof2019#top|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Funof2019|contribs]]) 00:12, 21 April 2019 (UTC)</small> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->
:{{reply to|Funof2019}}: The problem is that you are quoting statements made by Calvin and Luther and saying that those quotes completely summarize their positions. This is original research because you are the one picking out the quotes. What you need to do is find a published work by a recognized scholar that makes the comparison and use that as the basis for what you add. Luther, especially, wrote a huge amount of material, so just because you find some quotes in one of his books that seem to answer the question, there may be other things he has written or said that have to be taken into account. This is probably less of a problem with Calvin since he was a systematic theologian (something Luther was not), and what he says in his ''Institutes'' is more likely to be very descriptive of his view. Even so, you need to rely on what a published source says rather than using your own interpretation. [[User:Indyguy|Indyguy]] ([[User talk:Indyguy#top|talk]]) 02:09, 21 April 2019 (UTC)

== Apology ==

Sorry for not noticing that you had already undone the anonymous edit of [[Apostles' Creed]].

:{{reply to|Bealtainemí}}: No problem. Citing a source that has only the version in question is a good idea, but it probably won't stop people from making changes to what they think is the correct grammar without, apparently, actually looking at the cited sources.

== Jesus and wine ==
Hello, the reason I feel there is a place for the addition in the beginning of the article on Jesus and wine is because the first paragraph already mentions how Jesus made wine and with the first sentence of the article emphasizing the article is about alcohol in the bible it leads one to believe that Jesus made alcoholic wine.  Given this first paragraph, I feel it is proper for the next paragraph to provide context and clarify, as the article on alcohol also has a picture of Jesus making wine near the beginning of the article.  Along with providing the context, I feel referencing the text of the source, which speaks to the ways in which non alcoholic wine was available during that time, is helpful, but am fine removing the link to bibleinfo if you feel it may not be reliable(?) and will instead will reference theologians [[Albert_Barnes_(theologian)|Albert Barnes]] and [[Adam Clarke]] commentaries on the Bible, who are both noted as reliable theologians -- In his commentary on the Gospel of John (Albert Barnes, Notes on the whole Bible), Albert Barnes wrote, “The wine of Judea was the pure juice of the grape, without any mixture of alcohol. It was the common drink of the people and did not produce intoxication.” And Adam Clarke, commenting on Genesis 40:11, wrote, “From this we find that wine anciently was the mere expressed juice of the grape without fermentation. The saky, or cupbearer, took the bunch [of grapes], pressed the juice into the cup, and instantly delivered it into the hands of his master. This was anciently the yayin [wine] of the Hebrews, the oinos [wine] of the Greeks, and the mustum [wine] of the ancient Latins.”.

==Christian views opening==
Hello, given the nature of alcohol and the evidence submitted of clergy urging Christians to abstain, I feel the opening summary of the page "Christian views on Alcohol" should include mention of this view happening during that time in history, given how the article currently opens in contradiction to that evidence. Without that mention, the article gives an impression that there was only one, differing view with alcohol for Christians, that abstaining generally didn't happen. The article already mentions in the early church section an example that contradicts this view from Clement of Alexandria (died c. 215) who wrote in a chapter about drinking that he admired the young and the old who "abstain wholly from drink," who adopt an austere life and "flee as far as possible from wine, shunning it as they would the danger of fire." He strongly warned youth to "flee as far as possible" from it so as not to inflame their "wild impulses." He said Christ did not teach affected by it. "...the soul itself is wisest and best when dry."

Because of this evidence (and further evidence I've submitted that contradicts the current opening assumption of the article) I believe the opening summary (and a few small tweaks to a couple other statements in the article that reference the view held in the opening summary) should be restated to include the view presented with the evidence submitted. I also feel there should be some mention of the evidence of abstinence that happened between the period of the early church and the 19th century as there were churches during that time who professed abstaining from alcohol. I've added an example with the Brethren Church who professed a statement of abstinence after the reformation, but before the 19th century movement towards abstaining.  

Given this evidence, are you ok to revert?

== Insisting on mdy dates in county WP pages ==
I wish you could see your way clear to using dmy date format - a line of text looks so much cleaner without the added comma, and the separated numbers (with the month separating the day and year) makes reading so much easier.  You say the dmy format is the "American" way, but I choose to disagree. I am as "American" as anyone, and the other way makes more sense to me. Incidentally, the US military, as well as the rest of the whole world, agrees with me. So, I would encourage you to become a person with a Worldwide Outlook instead of holding onto your Indiana roots.

== Question about items to be in included book sections in L.S. Ayres article ==

I have noticed that you recently reverted my clean-up of the "book" section from the [[L.S. Ayres]] article.  My original deletion and your reversion can be considered "style" and does not really change content so I can go either way.  So my question to you is: Should this section include only books, or ALL references, or just SELECTED references (which is what it is now). Books needs to be listed in this section or {{tl|sfn}} would fail to work properly.  Your suggestions and your reasoning behind your suggestions would be greatly appreciated, especially if the selection is just selected.

::Shorten FootNotes {{tl|sfn}} is a really cool but underutilized editing tool for INLINE CITATIONS since it make life much easier for a person who needs to go to lookup a particular page of a book (especially when parts of the book is available directly online) to see if the given citation supports a particular paragraph or claim. General references are not really useful when compared with inline citation and I would suggest avoiding general reference sections when possible and only used them to hold books which Shorten FootNotes needs to generate an external link. The [[L.S. Ayres]] article now looks much cleaner with all citations being placed inline via SFNs, but it took awhile to convert properly. -- [[Special:Contributions/68.50.32.85|68.50.32.85]] ([[User talk:68.50.32.85|talk]]) 03:02, 17 December 2020 (UTC)

Thank you for your edits to my recent article creation on [[Henry Sieck]]! I'm more familiar with his son (whose article I started a couple of years ago), but the other day I realized Rev. H. Sieck met notability requirements when I saw he had been president of a college. I'm out of my depths in writing about the Lutheran church, but I've long felt Lutheranism and especially LCMS people and topics are underrepresented on Wikipedia, so I like to create brief articles on seminary presidents as a very small contribution. I appreciate your cleaning them up/expanding/making calls on what should be included! 

I'd like to see more articles on the historic big-city churches, too, and I've been playing around with doing that for a few in St. Louis. I see you've created articles on churches and at least one school. Would you be willing to look at a couple of drafts and edit/contribute to them if and when I have them ready? I am always concerned that I'll do the work and an article will go to AfD because I struggle to communicate the notability of the churches to the non-Lutherans looking over pages and wondering where the notability is.

What part the edit do you find unserious — the grammar corrections, the improved reference format, the correcting of hyphens to en dashes in year ranges, the removal of a section heading that had no text under it, or the removal of unnecessary bolding in table items? Apparently it was the bolding, since you changed it back. I won't revert your change because [[MOS:BOLD]] doesn't explicitly address it, but in general bolding is not supposed to be used except in certain specified situations, and items in a table is not one of them. [[User:Indyguy|Indyguy]] ([[User talk:Indyguy#top|talk]]) 04:32, 18 March 2022 (UTC)
:: Clearly I only did the quotation parts to do the bolding, plus to match up others rows or columns who have bolding on the word and are the colored ones. If that makes sense, or if that clarifies things. P.S.: I don't mind you adjusting on some wordings of context on some of the chronological timelines (which I would eventually fix on those from other athletic conferences' articles at some point), the only issue was the un-bolding, which I momentarily corrected.

::: @[[User:Johnluisocasio|Johnluisocasio]] - It would have been better if you had actually stated what your complaint was rather than typing a snarky "Are you serious?" [[User:Indyguy|Indyguy]] ([[User talk:Indyguy#top|talk]]) 05:33, 18 March 2022 (UTC)

== Denise Paul Hatch ==

Why did you remove Denise Paul Hatch the Center Township Constable Elect under Center Township Notable Persons? Marion County Election results have been certified and she won the contested primary as can be seen at Marion county election board results page and IS the Center Township Constable ELECT until Nov election and Jan 1 swearing in. She is running uncontested with no challenger in the Nov general election. I suspect slated establishment partisanship on your behalf is the real reason for the deletion.

There was a long discussion about navboxes that are invisible to the majority of our users, the mobile users. The {{tl|Monuments of Rome}} cannot be used by them. The next landmark under The image is taken from this navbox. [[User:Ruedi33a|Ruedi33a]] ([[User talk:Ruedi33a|talk]]) 15:48, 5 June 2022 (UTC)

:@[[User:Ruedi33a|Ruedi33a]]: So, you had a discussion about using an image map to accomplish this which just about everybody opposed, so you removed the ones you had added to articles. Now you just start putting these "next landmark" comments in captions without any further discussion. This solution is just as bad because there is no context and does not work if there is more than one navbox in the article. It would be better if you obtained consensus ''before'' making mass edits like this to dozens of articles. [[User:Indyguy|Indyguy]] ([[User talk:Indyguy#top|talk]]) 16:34, 5 June 2022 (UTC)

== [[Frank Buchman]] article ==
Hello indyguy. You asked me why I want my mention of Queen Marie's relationship with the Baha'i Faith to be left even though there appears to be no connection with Frank Buchman. Her initial introduction to and long term involvement with the Baha'i Faith was a spiritual turning point in her life, and during the time she was connecting with Buchman the two were extremely important to her. Her commitment to the Baha'i Faith was life long whereas her connection with Buchman wasn't. [[User:Violadude63|Violadude63]] ([[User talk:Violadude63|talk]]) 14:47, 16 August 2022 (UTC)

:{{ping|Violadude63}}: That's exactly the reason why it ''doesn't'' belong in Buchman's article. Her faith was important to her even after her contact with Buchman ended, and there's no indication that Buchman was instrumental in her decision. The article is about Buchman, not Marie. The material you want to add belongs in her article. [[User:Indyguy|Indyguy]] ([[User talk:Indyguy#top|talk]]) 15:01, 16 August 2022 (UTC)

I felt that it was relevant but if you really wish it to stay out then so be it. Thank you for your patience. [[User:Violadude63|Violadude63]] ([[User talk:Violadude63|talk]]) 15:04, 16 August 2022 (UTC)

You recently edited an article and removed material using the [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=United_Lutheran_Seminary&curid=53835314&diff=1106499292&oldid=1106486064 edit summary] "People in Notable people sections need to meet Wikipedia notability standards. In practice it generally means that they need to have articles of their own." [[WP:N|Notability]] is only required for a subject to have its own article; the notability guideline explicitly says that it "does not determine the content of articles, but only whether the topic may have its own article." [[WP:LISTBIO|Wikipedia:Notability (people)]] makes this even more explicit: "Inclusion in '''lists contained within articles''' should be determined by [[WP:SOURCELIST]], in that the entries must have the same importance to the subject as would be required for the entry to be included in the text of the article according to Wikipedia policies and guidelines (including [[Wikipedia:Trivia sections]])."

Hi, Indyguy. I recall you have helped contribute to the Sylvia Likens article over the years.

== Lutheran articles ==

Thank you for helping clean up my Lutheran-related articles over the past few years. I have an awareness and an appreciation for the history as well as a desire to share info that is not on the open internet, but I have no great knowledge of any one topic. 
I am winding down my Wikipedia work and plan to semi-retire, but I'd had sources for Alfred Fuerbringer for a few years, so I thought I'd live the sunk cost fallacy rather than toss the little research already done. But it's so incomplete. 
I didn't include much family info, dates of education institution attendance and presidencies, but may add those soon, if I can find good sources for all of it. If I knew more about Seminex, I'd look into his involvement and write something up, as but, alas... And the parallels of him and his brother are interesting. Makes me wish I could have been a fly on the wall in their childhood home. I've rambled here. Sorry! 
Thanks to your cleanup, adding it to WikiProject, etc., The article ready looks better; I'm less concerned about seeing improvement templates, etc. I appreciate what you've done for all of the articles. If I ever get to write about Fuerbringer's grandfather, you may find yourself with quite a bit more cleanup, as I will be far out of my depths.

== Eucharist ==

If the Britannica page says that, it's wrong.
Research the passage. It doesn't say what I corrected, it says my correction. [[User:GregLGII|GregLGII]] ([[User talk:GregLGII|talk]]) 05:22, 10 March 2023 (UTC)

:@[[User:GregLGII|GregLGII]]: Then you should be able to supply [[WP:RS|reliable secondary sources]] for your contention. Furthermore, you would also need to show by those sources that the current rendering is considered incorrect by the most scholars. [[User:Indyguy|Indyguy]] ([[User talk:Indyguy#top|talk]]) 15:44, 10 March 2023 (UTC)
::The reference is already on the page. (Luke 22:19-22).
::I quoted the New English translation (2017). If you research the passage, you will see the vast majority of English translations render the passage as I posted it. The real question is, what translation renders the passage the way it is on the page now? [[User:GregLGII|GregLGII]] ([[User talk:GregLGII|talk]]) 16:24, 10 March 2023 (UTC)
:::@[[User:GregLGII|GregLGII]]: I suggest you look at the [https://bible.oremus.org/?passage=1%20Corinthians%2011:23%E2%80%9325&version=nrsv 1 Corinthians 11:23–25] passage. The New Testament uses variations in terminology in the different passages that talk about the Eucharist. So either way is correct. The cited Britannica article is probably referring to the Corinthians passage, perhaps because most New Testament scholars think that Paul wrote it before the Gospel accounts were written. The problem is that your change does not agree with the cited non-primary sources. Again, you first need to find a reliable secondary source and cite it. [[User:Indyguy|Indyguy]] ([[User talk:Indyguy#top|talk]]) 16:48, 10 March 2023 (UTC)
::::Britannica is attempting to quote the Gospels. The Britannica article misquotes the passage.
::::Britannica says, “According to the Gospel accounts, Jesus established the practice at the Last Supper, a traditional Passover seder, when he blessed the bread, which he said was his body, and shared it with his disciples. He then shared a cup of wine with his disciples and told them that “this is the blood of 𝗺𝘆 𝗰𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗻𝗮𝗻𝘁, which is poured out for many.””
::::Subheading; "Origin in Scripture"
::::https://www.britannica.com/topic/Eucharist
::::The Gospels say, “Then he took a loaf of bread, and when he had given thanks, he broke it and gave it to them, saying, “This is my body, which is given for you.

==how to be a good editor (Reggie Miller)==
I was the person who gave the reference for the edit you made, I was NOT the person who wrote the original information that corrected a mistake on Wikipedia (check the IP's). A good editor before removing a very short true correction on an error without a reference would have made a quick Google search where there first thing that comes up works, instead of removing it, the same time you spent removing it could have been correcting it.  You are correct he should have made the reference, and if I made the comment I likely would have done so.  (you were the 3rd reckless editor to make undo their correct change and if not for the fact I was looking into the anti truth history of one of the earlier editors, I would not have discovered this and given the reference).  That said I stand by what I said, if it takes less then 1 minute to find a clearly acceptable citation do not delete and if you do you are at fault even more than they are. They made the change more truthful but ignored the citation, you by removing the truthful statement (without a citation) actually (re)created a falsehood that was previously on Wikipedia.  You are more anti good editing than the previous offender.  <!-- Template:Unsigned IP --><small class="autosigned">—&nbsp;Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[Special:Contributions/108.21.243.42|108.21.243.42]] ([[User talk:108.21.243.42#top|talk]]) 22:10, 20 April 2023 (UTC)</small> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->

Not trying to give you a hard time, but some pics you have to make bigger than others so they are easier to see.  I get you want things all to be standardized, but you also can't assume everyone has 20/20 vision either. [[user:Vjmlhds|Vjmlhds]] [[user talk:Vjmlhds|(talk)]]  03:21, 23 April 2023 (UTC)

[[File:Canal park evening akron ohio 2005.jpg|thumb|With no upright parameter]]
:{{ping|Vjmlhds}} According to [[MOS:UPRIGHT]], "Except with very good reason, a fixed width in pixels (e.g. 17px) should not be specified." Using a fixed width prevents the image from being displayed properly if a user uses a base width other than the default 220 pixels. On my browser, the first two images at the right are approximately the same width. Using the upright parameter with no value is the same as upright=0.75, which results in the image being displayed slightly narrower than the 175px one. The third image is with no upright parameter, which I think, because the image is a horizontal rectangle, allows sufficient detail to be seen. This is what was being used before you changed it to 175px. Are you using an unusual base width setting in your preferences?

:Not that I know of.  My whole point is that not everyone's eyes are the same, and not everyone's computer is the same, so you just can't do a "one size fits all" approach.  That's why you tweak and adjust and try to get it a good as you can.  I'm not trying to reinvent the wheel or anything, but I just just want a nice clear picture.  Remember back in the day when people had to fiddle around with their vertical hold on their TVs to get the picture just right?  Kind of the same idea here.

==Anglican Church in North America==

No source?  How about the 1662 Book of Common Prayer itself?  In the Order for the Last Supper, we find this:

ALMIGHTY God, whose kingdom is ever-lasting, and power infinite: Have mercy upon the whole Church; and so rule the heart of thy chosen servant CHARLES, our King and Governor, that he (knowing whose minister he is) may above all things seek thy honour and glory: and that we and all his subjects (duly considering whose authority he hath) may faithfully serve, honour, and humbly obey him, in thee, and for thee, according to thy blessed Word and ordinance; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who with thee and the Holy Ghost liveth and reigneth, ever one God, world without end.

The book acknowledges the British sovereign as King and Governor, and they promise to obey him.  Such a promise is inconsistent with the duty of a citizen of the United States.  Indeed, one of the reasons the Episcopal Church was established, and the Book of Common Prayer rewritten, in 1789, was to remove the requirement of professing allegiance to the British King.[[User:Alexander Springstea|Alexander Springstea]] ([[User talk:Alexander Springstea|talk]]) 21:08, 13 May 2023 (UTC)

:{{ping|Alexander Springstea}} The 1662 Book of Common Prayer is at most a source for the fact that those sentences are in that book. It does not state anything about the ACNA and whether the ACNA's adoption of the the 1662 BOCP extends to such historically conditioned provisions. It certainly does not say "Thus they are not loyal to the United States or the principles of the American Revolution", since the US did not exist then. In other words, you need a current reliable secondary source that says all that. [[User:Indyguy|Indyguy]] ([[User talk:Indyguy#top|talk]]) 21:52, 13 May 2023 (UTC)
::If the provision is as harmless as you say, why was the Protestant Episcopal Church in the United States of America formed, and why did they see a need to change the Prayer Book?  And why does ACNA feel a need to regress backwards to the time when people in North America were subjects of the British King? [[User:Alexander Springstea|Alexander Springstea]] ([[User talk:Alexander Springstea|talk]]) 23:14, 13 May 2023 (UTC)
:::{{ping|Alexander Springstea}} I'm not making any argument about whether the provision was harmless or not, and that doesn't matter. You are making an assertion that requires a [[WP:RS|reliable source]] to support, and haven't given any such source. Instead, you are taking a statement in a 17th century document and coming up with your own interpretation of the impact that has now on the ACNA. That's [[WP:OR|original research]], which is not permitted on Wikipedia. I suggest you read the policies I have linked to so that you better understand what the rules here are.

Even if you can't make it at the time we scheduled for the event, since you don't need the Wikipedia tutorial, let me know if you'd still like to use a free ticket to use for any other time during fair season.

==Hi Indyguy==

I see you removed my comment regarding Christian Justification. The popular belief that once a person is saved by faith alone with eternal life despite what good/bad works comes afterward is not mentioned anywhere in the article and it does not fall under Protestantism. As the page says, some who believe in saved by faith alone, believe one can lose it, or another believes good works will come as evidence. The description I provided was different from these and therefore needs to be re-added.

::::''Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me '''hath''' everlasting life.''
::::This shows that once a person believes, they '''have''' (present tense) eternal life. If God was to take that eternal life away for bad works, then this verse would be a lie. It would make God a liar and according to the below verse cannot happen:
::::'''Titus 1:2 KJV'''
::::''2 In hope of eternal life, which God, that '''cannot lie''', promised before the world began;''
::::The following verse shows that good works won't automatically come after salvation by faith alone, rather, it shows an instruction that we '''should''' perform good works (rather than the word '''must''') in order to be a good ambassador to Jesus Christ.
::::'''Ephesians 2:10 KJV'''
::::''For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we '''should''' walk in them.''
::::If good works automatically came post salvation, then The Apostle Paul would have no need to encourage believers to do them. It is possible for a person to get saved and to do no good works, but still be saved:

== Reverting "CLC" on "Concordia Lutheran Conference" page ==

Indyguy,
You reverted the edits I recently made to the "Concordia Lutheran Conference" page.  The reason for your reverts was that my claim of "CLC" as a protected trademark of the "Church of the Lutheran Confession" was false.  Please view our USPTO page at https://tmsearch.uspto.gov/bin/showfield?f=doc&state=4801:aag6vh.2.30.  You will note that the very first line indicates that the letters "CLC" are indeed a protected Word Mark.  Please remove your reverts.  
Thanks!

:@[[User:Goster|Goster]]: I had to do a new search of the site because the query you referred to had expired. I found registration serial number 87209558, which I assume is the correct one, and it says "The mark consists of a stylized design of a cross and to the right of the cross are the letters "CLC", which indicates to me that it does not consist of merely the letters "CLC". [[User:Indyguy|Indyguy]] ([[User talk:Indyguy#top|talk]]) 15:24, 23 August 2023 (UTC)
::You are referring to the "Service Mark" (also known as the "Design Mark").  There is also the protected "Word Mark", which you will find indicated at the TOP of the listing.  We have trademarked both the "Word Mark" and "Service Mark".

::The literal element of the mark consists of CLC. [[User:Goster|Glenn]] ([[User talk:Goster|talk]]) 16:54, 23 August 2023 (UTC)
:::@[[User:Goster|Goster]]: Generally WIkipedia follows the common usage of words. I would suggest that until you can prevail upon the Concordia Lutheran Conference to stop using "CLC" on their website, there's no reason for Wikipedia to do so. Please understand that Wikipedia articles are not owned by their subjects, so the Concordia Lutheran Conference article is not speaking on behalf of that body, but rather is describing it, and in this case the "CLC" is just an abbreviation used internally in the article. [[User:Indyguy|Indyguy]] ([[User talk:Indyguy#top|talk]]) 17:22, 23 August 2023 (UTC)
::::This mark is not being used 'internally', but PUBLICLY to refer to this organization.  The use of this mark has already caused confusion (which is why I became involved). Despite what you say Wikipedia's stance is, I do not believe Wikipedia has an interest in defending trademark infringments. 
::::   As far as the use of this mark on their website, this is being handled on an official level between our synods.

Hi Indyguy,
What do you think about adding a biography page for the 2024 Prohibition Party candidate Michael Wood? www.Prohibition2024.com has a bio and photo. [[Special:Contributions/2003:F6:EF0B:3D94:7840:11A8:E876:4529|2003:F6:EF0B:3D94:7840:11A8:E876:4529]] ([[User talk:2003:F6:EF0B:3D94:7840:11A8:E876:4529|talk]]) 11:56, 31 December 2023 (UTC)

:He would have to meet the Wikipedia's standards for [[WP:BIO|notability of people]]. I suspect that as the nominee of a very minor party who is will not even be on the ballot in most states, it would be difficult to meet that standard unless he is notable for a reason other than politics. The bio that you referred to is one paragraph long and says only that he is from California, was CEO of an unnamed company, and is retired. That could easily fit in the article on the party.

== Concordia University Suspension ==

Hi Indyguy,

You recently reverted an [[Concordia_University_Wisconsin|edit I made]] regarding the fact that Gregory Schulz has not been reinstated. He is still not back teaching classes; I don't know what exactly you're looking for as a source. I could reference the entire course catalogue for 2023-2024, but I feel like that's excessive.

Wikipedia [[Wikipedia:Citing_sources|says]], "Wikipedia's verifiability policy requires inline citations for any material '''challenged or likely to be challenged''', and for all quotations, anywhere in article space" (emphasis added). This isn't a piece of information that's challengeable, given that a reinstatement (and not a lack thereof) would have accompanying sources. In other words, it seems like you're demanding a source for a fact that's based on ''lack'' of information (e.g. I couldn't give you a source if I asserted that there are no purple people in America—it's a fact based on the fact that no one has documented a purple person). Would you prefer the sentence to read something like "There was no documented reinstatement of Schulz"? That seems unnecessary.

Thanks, [[User:Nathanael Hahn|Nathanael Hahn]] ([[User talk:Nathanael Hahn|talk]]) 19:36, 4 January 2024 (UTC)

:@[[User:Nathanael Hahn|Nathanael Hahn]]: This [https://thefederalist.com/2023/02/23/professor-banned-for-calling-out-racism-at-christian-university-negotiates-his-return/ article at the ''Federalist''] from last February is one of the few recent articles I could find about the case. According to it, the reason that it's dragging on as long as it has is that the synod's current dispute resolution process, which has not been used before, is cumbersome. The problem is that simply stating that "Schulz was not reinstated at CUW" implies that a decision has been made not to reinstate when his case is still in the dispute resolution process and (apparently) no decision has been made. I think if your addition were worded to include the whole matter of the dispute resolution process and that a resolution is pending as of February 2023 and included the ''Federalist'' article as a ref, it would be fine. By the way, it didn't take me more than a few minutes to find that article with a web search. [[User:Indyguy|Indyguy]] ([[User talk:Indyguy#top|talk]]) 05:32, 5 January 2024 (UTC)

== Edit Reverted on Lutheranism ==

Why was my edit reverted on Lutheranism. As far as I can understand I was just adding links to help integrate it into other pages, so if you didn't know or understand something you could simply click on the link to learn more. [[User:Beauzo2979|Beauzo2979]] ([[User talk:Beauzo2979|talk]]) 16:13, 29 January 2024 (UTC)

:Hi @[[User:Beauzo2979|Beauzo2979]]. I reverted your edits for a variety of reasons:
:# Generally only the first instance of a term or its variants is linked. [[Catholic Church]] is already linked in the first paragraph, so no need to link to it again. Same thing for Martin Luther.
:# Linking "Scripture" to "Religious text" is not specific enough since the reference is clearly to the Christian Bible. In addition, the word "Scripture" is part of a quotation, and linking to terms in a quotation is discouraged.
:# Linking "evangelical" to "evangelicalism" is simply incorrect. Evangelicalism is a movement that arose in the 20th century. "Evangelical" is a term arising from the Reformation in Germany and refers to the Gospel message. It was used to distinguish Lutherans and other Protestants at that time from the Catholic church.
:# I have no problem with the link to Byzantine Rite, so go ahead and add it again.
:# I think "theologian" is a commonly used word that doesn't need a link.
:Take a look at [[MOS:LINK]] for Wikipedia's Manual of Style regarding linking.
:By the way, you don't need to actually make an edit to a page to watch it. Just click on the star on the top of the article's page. If the star is filled in, then it is on your watch list. [[User:Indyguy|Indyguy]] ([[User talk:Indyguy#top|talk]]) 17:03, 29 January 2024 (UTC)

We never reached a consensus on Baker's birth place. I only found the one document that listed Weisburg. This was not filled out by Baker himself. If you feel better with moving it back to Dearborn County, I won't disagree.

== WHAT IS YOUR PROBLEM? ==

I got all of my information from another Wikipedia article and you took them down twice. You are an absolutely unbelievable human being. My information was in fact true, but you took it down anyway with no reason why. Now because of you, I’ve got admins coming at me saying that I can’t rewrite edits previously taken down. You only did that because you are a troll. I think that you were jealous that you didn’t add the information first, so you took it upon yourself to destroy it. [[User:Editor1231967|Editor1231967]] ([[User talk:Editor1231967|talk]]) 00:20, 22 May 2024 (UTC)

:@[[User:Editor1231967|Editor1231967]]: I reverted your edit because, as I said in the edit comments, you did not supply a reliable source for the information. That you found it in another Wikipedia article isn't good enough for two reasons: One, you didn't enter a citation indicating in what article you found it so that a reader can verify that the statement is accurately representing the source, and, two, Wikipedia is not itself a [[Wikipedia:Reliable sources|reliable source]].
:Now, as far as you having admins coming at you: If you talk to other editors in the same way that you talked to me just now, you'll find yourself banned pretty quickly. As a Wikipedia editor, you should be polite and [[Wikipedia:Assume good faith|assume good faith]] toward other editors.  [[User:Indyguy|Indyguy]] ([[User talk:Indyguy#top|talk]]) 00:48, 22 May 2024 (UTC)
::If you keep trolling, you’re going to get banned too. But, it doesn’t matter because I’m going to stop editing completely since everyone takes things too seriously. However, if Wikipedia is not a reliable source, then why are you taking things so seriously? I know my facts are correct, so there’s no argument. If viewers doubt my work even a little bit, then they should stop being lazy and search if it’s correct. It’s not that difficult. But, keep acting holier than God himself, keep being a phony believer in the Afterlife, and keep up taking things more serious than it needs to be. Congratulations, you’re the cause of why another editor has left Wikipedia. #IndianaPeople😂 [[User:Editor1231967|Editor1231967]] ([[User talk:Editor1231967|talk]]) 01:11, 22 May 2024 (UTC)

== Re: Revert revision 1241981052 by ZachT1234 on FedEx Shooter Talk ==

I would like to make it known that the original comment on the talk page was posted by me, the same person who made revision 1241981052, which deleted the aforementioned comment on the talk page. I deleted the comment because I felt as though the changes have been satisfactory, and no longer require any mentions on the talk page. If not deleting my own now-redundant comment, how would you rather me go about cleaning up the talk page from my already rectified topics?
[[User:ZachT1234|ZachT1234]] ([[User talk:ZachT1234|talk]]) 03:56, 30 August 2024 (UTC)

:@[[User:ZachT1234|ZachT1234]]: I reverted my revert shortly after making it when I realized you were the original poster. I originally thought it had been done by a different editor. As far as cleaning up the talk page, generally archiving is used, which just moves the outdated discussion to a subpage of the talk page.

== Classifying churches in info boxes ==

Greetings. In info boxes churches are classified by their principal classification such as Protestant, Old Catholic etc. They are *not* classified as "Christian" because that is, obviously, not a classification as such. All you need to do is check the articles of any particular church to see how this is meant to be done. Please don't edit war on this issue. You are definitely not correct in your assertions about this matter. Thank you. [[User:Afterwriting|Afterwriting]] ([[User talk:Afterwriting|talk]]) 02:00, 4 February 2025 (UTC)

== Bruce Park ==

Hiya. You may have noticed I've been working on old Indy ballparks some. I was wondering if you live anywhere near the city and hence whether you potentially have direct access to any old maps that would show this location more definitively. The Library of Congress collection is only a subset, and is insufficient to cover some of the earlier ballparks. ←[[User:Baseball Bugs|Baseball Bugs]] <sup>''[[User talk:Baseball Bugs|What's up, Doc?]]''</sup> [[Special:Contributions/Baseball_Bugs|carrots]]→ 05:06, 9 June 2025 (UTC)
