Overall, Mongols were highly tolerant of most religions, and typically sponsored several at the same time. Many Mongols had been proselytized by the Church of the East since about the 7th century,[3] and some tribes' primary religion was Nestorian. In the time of Genghis Khan, his sons took Christian wives of the Khereid clan, and under the rule of Genghis Khan's grandson, Möngke, the primary religious influence was Christian. The practice of Nestorian Christianity was somewhat different from that practiced in the West, and Europeans tended to regard Nestorianism as heretical for its beliefs about the nature of Jesus. However, the Europeans also had legends about a figure known as Prester John, a great Christian leader in the East who would come to help with the Crusades. One version of the legend connected the identity of Prester John with a Christian Mongol leader, Toghrul, leader of the Kerait clan. When the Mongols conquered northern China, establishing the Yuan Dynasty (1271–1368), Nestorian Christianity was re-introduced to China after a gap of centuries. As the Mongols further expanded, the Christian sympathies of the court, primarily through the influential wives of the khans, led to changes in military strategy. When the Mongols conquered Baghdad in 1258, many of the citizens of the city were massacred, but the Christian inhabitants were spared. As the Mongols further encroached upon Palestine, there were some attempts at forming a Franco-Mongol alliance with the Christians of Europe against the Muslims. Mongol contacts with the West also led to many missionaries, primarily Franciscan and Dominican, traveling eastward in attempts to convert the Mongols to Roman Catholicism. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Williamjullide (talk • contribs) 19:56, 30 July 2015‎

Hello! Regarding your posts on my talk page: I know how a version control system works, thank you. I just like to keep my talk page free of clutter.Phoenix0316 (talk) 23:38, 23 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I already opened a discussion on the talk page. He doesn't want to explain his nonsense edits, because he can't.--Zeremony (talk) 02:44, 25 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Jim:

I presume you are a bona-fide Wiki editor, and I am writing this here on that basis.

I represent Other Half Entertainment. Edits made to the Laura Branigan page were done swiftly yesterday and I did not have time to explain every edit late last night. I will endeavor to do so over the next week or so, but I do ask that you leave edits as is for the time being, since my time will be limited for some time, as this weekend is the "Spirit of Love" Memorial Gathering, which we host and run. Also, today is the 11th anniversary of Branigan's death, and we have learned to be "hyper-vigilant" regarding content published and posted online.

I will tell you there is a small group of so-called "fans" of our artist who are fixated to an unhealthy degree, with "correcting" what they perceive as "errors" in Branigan's biography. Recently, these people have appeared to hijack databases, Wikipedia entries, and social media content, editing content that they perceive is "incorrect", and Branigan's Wikipedia entry is no different.

Thank you for your understanding.

You claimed my edit on the article Sweden democrats wasn't constructive, the article provided false and biased information and thus i changed it to the information the party provides themselves. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.224.177.144 (talk) 18:26, 26 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Jim. The page is about music. That's the reason why I find inopportune a paragraph about alleged 'antisemitism' in Johannes Passion text. If one wants to debate on religion, religious texts ect he-she can do that on a different page. There are sooo many things to say about J.P. text, but I'm unfortunately not surprised to notice anti-christian feelings on wikipedia. I erased that paragraph 2 times. The first time I wrote my reasons. The second time I was not given opportunity to explain. It is not correct to sully the person, and the greatest musician, Bach, by attacking a text that, do not forget this, simply explains the historical facts that happened in Jerusalem 2000 years ago (it is undisputed that the jews-phariseans- sentenced Jesus to death, and let the romans enforce the sentence). I hope you wil take into consideration my point. Music on pages about music. Religion on pages about religion. Thanks, Gianluca. 151.33.226.85 (talk) 01:40, 27 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, I saw you placed a speedy deletion on the page I just created on the company I was reviewing. I saw that no where on the wiki was HQC listed. I created this page out of my love to this company so that people will know a little bit more about it. I provided great links to outside sources such as alexa internet, an interview with the ceo and their own site. Please let me know what els I need to change to make it stay on wiki.

Cheers,

Nick Sutherland

what was my edit? i do not remember anymore. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 117.198.49.139 (talk) 19:02, 28 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Hello,

I am Gilak and i sure the article (Gilaki people) has some mistakes.

1. name: we are Gilak and our language is Gilaki so it is mistake to say we are Gilaki people. correct is Gilak people or Gilaks.
2. Gilan Province is our land but some talysh people also live in Gilan an some gilaks live in Mazandaran Province. is it correct to say Gilani people? No it is mistake because Gilan is for everybody. Gilaks too live in Gilan.

• I Request you to change "Gilani people" or "Gilaki people" to "Gilaks" or "Gilak People"
• Sorry that my English typing is bad.--شیخ (talk) 11:18, 29 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Your efforts to explain Wikipedia policies and the evolution article to John.r.r are laudable. Unfortunately, you are not the first to fail to get through to them. Hope the rest of your weekend is swell, though. Cheers. --‖ Ebyabe ^talk - Repel All Boarders ‖ 23:35, 29 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

@Ebyabe: Naw, I just needed to practice banging my head on a wall. I usually do here, but I was home today and needed a fix. ;o) Good evidence that evolution is not a ladder. Thanks for stopping by! Jim1138 (talk) 23:42, 29 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, with individuals like that, I can only quote a friend, "Nothing is impossible to the person impervious to reason." ;) --‖ Ebyabe ^talk - Border Town ‖ 00:24, 30 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

@Ebyabe: I think we were created moments ago memories included as an experiment to see what will happen next. That is my theory hypothesis as to why the world is so nutty... Given that computers will continue to become more powerful, eventually people will simulate events over and over with slight changes to see what "would" have happened. Given that, it is highly unlikely that this is the first time you and I are having this conversation. -H. Keith Henson Cheers Jim1138 (talk) 01:06, 30 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Hiya - I didn't intend to make a sourceless addition to the article. I was merely cleaning up the quality of English on the page. Maybe I accidentally deleted a citation? If so, I apologise. 86.130.161.95 (talk) 11:24, 30 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I've already posted a request for assistance at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject LGBT studies, so for the moment there's really not much more I can do to make more women get involved. Unfortunately, Wikipedia as a whole has a very definite gender gap, with far more men than women actually contributing much of anything at all on here — but I can't claim to have the ability to singlehandedly fix that. Bearcat (talk) 18:50, 3 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

@Bearcat: She has not edited anything since creating the article. So, it may be moot. Know any female editors who wold contact her? All of us ogres might cause consternation. Jim1138 (talk) 19:10, 3 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Hey Jim,

Just asking that you participate a bit more in discussions on the talk page of the Prov article... there are several threads going on major structural aspects of the article, and haven't seen your name involved in the discussions though you have been quick to respond to edits to the article itself. Im sure you are busy but youre input would be helpful, thanks GIOSCali (talk) 19:23, 4 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

@GIOSCali: Providence (religious movement) is a little-read article about yet another religious group with a godman for a leader. Its zealots, of course, want to whitewash the article. Note the numerous permanent blocks to WP:SPAs; the number of which is quite amazing given how little read the article is. Providence stats Catholic Church stats Westboro Baptist Church stats. Essentially, the article is a waste of time. Jim1138 (talk) 08:53, 8 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Accuracy is important regardless of the amount of views. Basically, if you want to participate, you should participate fully, not just reverting edits here and there, but engaging in discussions as well. GIOSCali (talk) 16:31, 9 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Jim,

You sent me a message stating that I'd made a change to Mr. Holtz's page w/out providing a reason. I apologize for not having done so. The change I made was to the opening sentence of his bio, where it stated that he is, "...a former American football player..." I changed this to read, "...an American former football player..." I see this all the time on Wikipedia (and elsewhere). Mr. Holtz is not a former American. He is, in fact, a former football player (and coach), who happens to be American.

Dear Jim, Thanks for the feedback. I get that my is "Synthesis". However, can I write the following instead:

Originally intended:

Based on the narratives and reflections in these blogs, Balu's upcoming 'crowd funded' book, "I, the citizen" discusses how citizen and community engagement could combat poverty, inequality, and exploitation of marginalized communities^[1].

Revised: Based on the narratives and reflections in these blogs, Balu's upcoming 'crowd funded' book, "I, the citizen" motivates readers to reflect on development, democracy and citizen engagement^[2][3]. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Shamkashyap (talk • contribs) 04:59, 7 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

@Shamkashyap: This statement: Based on the narratives and reflections in these blogs... Who said this? If this is you, it would be synth. Also, it appears that the citations you list are by Ramaswami Balasubramaniam If so, they would be wp:primary sources. wp:secondary sources should be used instead. Jim1138 (talk) 07:53, 7 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

@Jim1138,

The sentence Based on the narratives is the exact wording used in the referred source(Rangde) which is an independent organization talking about the author. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Shamkashyap (talk • contribs) 05:00, 9 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

@Shamkashyap: Where does it say this? It wasn't obvious on your two cites above. BTW: the @Shamkashyap is the result of a wp:ping Jim1138 (talk) 06:40, 9 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I should preface this by saying that I'm not a frequent editor on Wikipedia. I noticed you've complained about an IP (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:50.26.207.216) that has been hitting a page that I watch with a bunch of random edits (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_colors_(compact)). This includes changing information incorrectly (at least as far as I can tell). Is there something I should be doing to protect this page or are my reverts doomed to be ignored?

I'm more curious than angry. I've written an Objective-C library (https://github.com/danblakemore/UIColor-MoreColors) that grabs information from the list of colors page to generate a programatic list of a bunch of named colors. It's not a big deal and not used widely, but if someone makes an incorrect change to the page, my library reflects that, so I kind of care about whether the content is correct.

I figured I'd ask you since you seem to be a frequent editor and care about good content.

Check my edits on that page for the last few weeks for details on what I'm talking about.

Thanks,

Hi, if you actually type in Pia Mia in google, it comes up to the right and shows you her age/d.o.b. also I went to her bio page via http://piamia.wikia.com/wiki/Pia_Mia and it also confirms her age. (I'm new to wiki, so I only know how to do certain stuff, i'm still learning)

Hi, not sure how to reply to your comment.

As I say, I don't really know how to use wiki. all I know is how to use the Insert name here and that's about it.

in response to the pia mia article, I wouldn't understand what you're on about, its kinda complicated to me lol

The information you continue to remove is accurate.
