This is your Talk page where you can receive messages from other Wikipedians and discuss things with them. At the end of your messages you must put your signature by signing with four ~~~~ (just as I have done) or by pressing the button in the editor bar as shown here in the picture. By the way, you don't need to sign edits that you make in the articles themselves as those messages will be deleted. Another valuable page that may provide information and assistance is User:Persian Poet Gal/"How-To" Guide to Wikipedia. My name is Buster7. If you have any questions or face any initial hurdles, feel free to contact me on my talk page and I will do what I can to assist or give you guidance and contact information. Good Luck editing!

Hi there, I see that you've made changes to templates here and here so rather than continue on a templat-by-template basis I thought I'd post to you here on your talk page. I do take your point that the pentagram or pentacle can be disputed as a general symbol for modern paganism but I don't think your cross-in-circle has a better claim to being representative. If a general discussion in principle is needed, maybe we could have it here? I think we nbeed the input of others beyond just you and I as we obviously see things from very different perspectives! If we don't get much discussion on that page we could alert some of the frequent editors to pagan topics and see if they'd join in. Is that a reasonable way forward?

I just answered on the template talk-page. --Schwert von Feuer (talk) 15:49, 11 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Now I have copied the answer on the general project discussion. --Schwert von Feuer (talk) 15:53, 11 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, as I think the project talk page is the best place to have a general discussion I suggest we move it there. But I'll wait for others to respond for a while as I think this should be a discussion involving more than just the two of us. Kim Dent-Brown <sup>(Talk)</sup> 15:59, 11 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I understand you're acting in good faith and trying to improve things the best you can, however:

1. You must understand your perspective is not the only one. You are boldly editing, which is good, but I notice a pattern of you boldly editing in accordance with your point of view and offering little in the way of citation. You may want to consider bring suggestion to the talk pages before making substantial edits.
2. In the case of formatting (as with {{Neopaganism-sidebar}}), you seem to be making a lot of intermediate edits as you work out how things should look. This is disruptive. If a page's preview function is unsuitable for some reason, you should make use of Wikipedia:Sandbox or Special:MyPage.

I have reverted your changes to Paganism (contemporary) and {{Neopaganism-sidebar}}. However, I reapplied the border, re-added Gnosticism, and removed Interpretatio graeca in the template. I will bring this up on Template talk:Neopaganism-sidebar for further discussion.

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Svyatogor, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Belarusian (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

I've reverted your name change - on an article that is fairly actively edited, especially where there has been recent controversy over the content, a name change requires discussion - see WP:COMMONNAME for the relevant policy on names. Dougweller (talk) 20:53, 15 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I just posted a message on your talkpage.--Schwert von Feuer (talk) 20:56, 15 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks. I think the talk page discussion is probably enough but of course you can post a move request. Dougweller (talk) 13:43, 16 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.
