Hi Delta x under the entry on Servetus I found the following:
In 1903 latter-day followers of Calvin erected a plaque at the site of Servetus' death 'repudiating his (Calvin's) mistake which was the mistake of his age'(see picture).
My question is this: Who actually erected this plaque? Was it the followers of Servitus or the followers of Calvin?
Can you help?
Thank you

Good question, though I don't have a ready answer. If I do find any info however, I'll edit it in. Delta x (talk) 17:46, 6 March 2010 (UTC)

In the absolute sense, maybe, maybe not. Academic American Encyclopedia, Collier's Encyclopedia, Encarta, Encyclopedia Americana and Encyclopedia Britannica Micropedia do not mention it at all. The Encyclopedia Britannica Macropedia gives it a paragraph. Then again, we have a lot of detail in our article that is no other encyclopedia. So, if you wish, go ahead and add something. It also would be great if you could stick around and help us improve the entire article. --CTSWyneken(talk) 21:15, 21 August 2006 (UTC)
Delta x, I do not know if you got a chance to watch the entire documentary. You are can find it on YouTube here: The Great Global Warming Swindle [1] Best wishes.RonCram 16:09, 21 March 2007 (UTC)
Hi, Ron. As it happened, I didn't get a chance (ironically) to see it when it first aired. However, I did discovered it on YouTube shortly thereafter (what a surprise huh?). But many thanks anyway for the heads-up. Might even watch it again just as a review. Delta x 01:47, 22 March 2007 (UTC)
Hi,
I'm currently working, with others, on the article Snowball Earth, with the aim of restoring it to Good Article status.
I noticed that you made a few contributions to the article, and there's quite a bit that could be done to make a large improvement, so I was wondering whether you might be interested in helping out? I've knocked together a 'wish-list' of what the article could to with which you can view on the article talk page; if you're keen to address any of those points, or make any other improvements, it would be much appreciated! I'll be working through them myself as much as my busy schedule allows. Hope to see you there!
Thanks,

Hi, you apparently uploaded this image:
claiming it contained a facsimile of handwriting by Martin Luther. Are you certain? Reasons why I doubt it:
So, isn't this just a contemporary 19th century handwritten essay written into the 19th-century book? Fut.Perf. ☼ 17:50, 7 July 2007 (UTC)
Hi, thanks for your message. In order to fix links, it's easiest to go to the redirect page and click on "What links here" in the toolbox, which will show you all the pages that link to that page, including via redirects. I would add that firstly, Corpus Catholicorum (Series) should be moved to Corpus Catholicorum (series), as in Star Wars (video game). Secondly, Corpus Catholicorum should be the page with the most commonly used defenition of the title - something of which I'm entirely unsure. For more information you should see Wikipedia:Disambiguation.
Finally, when Edwin Hubble refers to a "favoured location" in a negative sense, he means that if there is one specific point in the Universe from which all matter is receding, then the Universe is not homogeneous ie. the same everywhere. This would be at odds with special relativity, which says that all inertial frames are equivalent.
There is currently a third opinion review happening at Talk:Johann Tetzel. Can you please provide your point of view? Thank you, Dusti*poke* 20:19, 12 January 2011 (UTC)
Greetings. The priest & bishop claim in the article Paul_the_Apostle was removed because it is not appropriate for the head(intro) section which is the place for a concise summary of material that appears in the body of the article. See copy below in case you didn't save a copy and want to develop the idea further and add it into the Critical Views section, or where ever else seems appropriate. The page before the page the 2nd reference pointed to had a footnote disagreeing with the author of the first reference. Both authors torture the text to make their respective assertions. The 3rd reference is extremely weak, (and hard to read with old style long-S typography,) and it is not clear what religious "parties" make the "bishop" claim. Such a claim needs secondary sources, if there are any.
A computer word search for "priest*" in the KJV revealed that no form of the word priest occurs in Paul's 13 epistles between Acts and Hebrews. Indeed, Dunn said that "a very striking feature of Paul's letters is the absence of any reference to priests in the Pauline churches. There was evidently no distinct or separate function which required a 'priest' to carry it out." The word "hierourgounta" which Dunn translated as "priest" is not the noun priest, it refers to "ministering" as in the KJV, and it is figurative. Paul was not married, so the requirement that a bishop be the husband of one wife precludes him from that office. The basic idea seems a bit on the fringe side, since neither Paul himself nor anyone else in the Bible called him either a priest or a bishop. Thanks for your attention to this matter.
