I can tell you are making some definite improvements to articles on Bible versions. Thanks for these! I also noticed what seems to be a campaign to spread links to the Bible exhibits at drgenescott.com. May I ask how you came to decide that these are valuable links to add to these articles? Specifically, are you in any way affiliated with any of the activities of this ministry? (Wikipedia policies ask editors not to post links to websites with which they are affiliated.) While I do appreciate that the pages you're linking to are free of advertising, on the other hand it is my impression that Eugene Scott spent around 50% of his on-air time asking for donations, so it doesn't have the odor of a public-interest scholarly website either. Do you share any of these reservations? Thank you for the further information. Wareh 01:33, 17 March 2007 (UTC)
No, I have no affiliations to Dr Scott (or indeed any other Bible-related campaign). I deliberately linked straight to the pages for the Bible collection rather than Dr Scott's home page (which in any case does not appear to have a link to the pages for the Bible collection). I felt that these pages were useful because they are relatively up to date and (unlike others) have useful pictures. Frankly this is a better set of pages than any from the more prestigious library/museum websites that I have found so far. I have been unhappy about so much material coming from the 1911 Encyclopedia Britannica. A lot has happened since then. Indeed there are even developments since Herbert's catalogue, and Scott's pages contain statements that lack the right degree of uncertainty. I still hope to find better material for the external links sections. Probably I should have chosen different pages from the bible-researcher.com website, because the Kenyon articles, for all their virtues, are also very old.EEye 01:53, 17 March 2007 (UTC)
Who gets to add the warning "This article or section does not adequately cite its references or sources", and who decides when the warning can be removed? A lot of the articles that I worked on should have had that warning when I started, and may still need it. On the other hand, I hope that Early Modern English Bible translations is close to the point where the warning can be removed.EEye 02:34, 17 March 2007 (UTC)

Hello, this is a message from an automated bot. A tag has been placed on Taylor Hobson, by another Wikipedia user, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. The tag claims that it should be speedily deleted because Taylor Hobson seems to be about a person, group of people, band, club, company, or web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not assert the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.
To contest the tagging and request that administrators wait before possibly deleting Taylor Hobson, please affix the template ((hangon)) to the page, and put a note on its talk page. If the article has already been deleted, see the advice and instructions at WP:WMD. Feel free to contact the bot operator if you have any questions about this or any problems with this bot, bearing in mind that this bot is only informing you of the nomination for speedy deletion; it does not perform any nominations or deletions itself.

Thanks for uploading Image:Lens2a.svg. You don't seem to have indicated the license status of the image. Wikipedia uses a set of image copyright tags to indicate this information; to add a tag to the image, select the appropriate tag from this list, click on this link, then click "Edit this page" and add the tag to the image's description. If there doesn't seem to be a suitable tag, the image is probably not appropriate for use on Wikipedia.
For help in choosing the correct tag, or for any other questions, leave a message on Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. Thank you for your cooperation. --ImageTaggingBot (talk) 01:08, 14 February 2008 (UTC)
