Hi there and welcome. Noticed you around various pages I edit. You may have noticed this on Anti-French sentiment in the United States and wondered if you wanted to have a go at it: User:Marskell/Anti-French sentiment. I'd like to make it ship-shape and comprehensive and replace A-F sentiment in the U.S. with it, probably under the title Francophobia. It needs: historic anti-French sentiment (Louis XIV, revolution, Napolean etc.) and colonial Anti-French sentiment. I think I can safely add stuff about Britain. Anyhow, you noted you were French(a la France ou Quebec?) and I thought you'd be interested. Marskell 13:30, 26 August 2005 (UTC)
For the Anti-Frenchism article:
I asked another admin to speedy it yesterday and it was shortly done. Congrats. Notice that if you follow the link above three sections to requests for expansion on the page I have made a note there. Marskell 13:53, 8 September 2005 (UTC)
Historically (within its historical context), agnosticism was a reactionary movement against orthodox Christianity, which had been established for centuries (almost two thousand years) as the guiding force behind Western civilization. (If you do not believe that this is so, try removing Christianity as the guiding force, and see where [in which direction] Western civilization goes.) Far from being a mere intellectual enterprise, agnosticism was actually a revolutionary concept introduced into Western civilization at the time. Not all revolutionary ideas are good. Ideas can be dangerous. For instance, look at what happened during the French Revolution, when the French street masses, the uneducated poor people, evidently tried to copy the American Revolution at home. But, they did it without knowledge, without a plan. The furious French mobs ended up chopping the heads off of a large part of the educated French nobility, killing into the tens of thousands of people. For what? Did they (the street masses) have a better plan for the French people? If so, what was it? After they had guillotined all those people, did hunger and poverty go away?
My point is this: if you are going to do away with something (some long-established convention, such as God, or the monarchy, that has been accepted as a cornerstone of life for centuries, and has been guiding things), you had better think about it first. Any demagogue can lead people down the prim-rosed path. (Jesus said this about demagogues: "Let them alone. They are blind guides for the blind. Both will end up falling into a pit", or into "the Pit".) Before you blindly follow such revolutionary ideas as agnosticism, ask yourself questions such as these: do I have the wisdom to make these changes? Will mankind be better off if I follow this course (the utilitarian principle of reason)? Do I know what I'm talking about? (It seems inherently dangerous to me, to follow a person whose very doctrine is entitled, "I don't know". Why would you follow someone who is saying he "doesn't know" the way? [or, "the Way": Jesus said, "I am the Way, and the Truth, and the Light, or Life, and no man can come to the Father, God, but by, or through, Me." ]) Question: would you drive up to a party behind an agnostic, and ask him the way? Definition of an agnostic: he's telling you he doesn't know! More than that; the agnostic seems to be saying, "I don't know, and you can't possibly know, either." How does the agnostic "know" if someone else is experiencing God? [see David Hume, "knowledge is experience"] To know, in the Biblical sense, means, "to become intimately acquainted with": for example, "You shall know, and be known," (in Heaven). This concept is related to sexuality: knowing another person as intimately as possible ("He knew her, and she conceived", or, "the two shall become one flesh", or the opposite, "How can I give birth, when I have not known a man?"-Mary, to the angel Gabriel, about the coming miraculous virgin birth).
If you are going to replace something, certainly something as important as God, then, have a care! Please think about what you are going to replace Him with. (with nothing? creating a gigantic vacuum; and what is going to move in to fill this huge, empty space?) One of the very first proverbs (recorded ancient wisdom in the Bible) is this: "the fool says in his heart, 'there is no God!'" (The Biblical definition of a "fool" is one who loses his own soul.) If you are going to divorce yourself from God, intellectually or otherwise, then whom are you going to turn to, to fulfill your needs? (I notice that, in times of distaster, even most agnostics will say, "God, help me!" (not, "Darwin help me"). Whom is going to become the care-taker of your soul? (Ned-Sept.)
I know you won't change your view one bit for that, since your beliefs are so strong and reliable, but it still felt good writing it. Jules LT 00:26, 12 September 2005 (UTC)
Hi. I realized that I probably should have started the discussion at Talk:Francophobia so I copied the section over to there. Thanks for the reply. I agree and was glad to see there was some support for keeping them separate. - Tεxτurε 19:11, 13 September 2005 (UTC)
Not a problem. Hopefully the entire situation can be resolved amicably and without resorting to administrative procedures. You both seem to have useful contributions to make here.—chris.lawson (talk) 20:50, 23 September 2005 (UTC)
The user user:Adrigo who has been editing articles related to theism, atheism, and agnosticism, is Donald Alford (AKA DotSix) who has been injoined by the Arb Committee from editing any page except the evidence page for his Arb Hearing [1] and his own user pages. Please revert EVERY edit he makes to any other page, including talk pages, with a simple comment that he is injoined. Please do not argue with him. Doing so just feeds a troll. Thank you. --Nate Ladd 01:42, 25 September 2005 (UTC)
Thanks for supporting the Arb Comm action. But please remember that he can read anything you post including tips on how to recognize him. We don't want to make it easier for him to disguise his identity in the future. --Nate Ladd 23:49, 26 September 2005 (UTC)
"So I think what unites most atheists is the desire not to be decieved [sic] - we prefer truth to being happilly [sic] deluded."
The arbitration committee has reached a final decision in the Wikipedia:Requests for arbitration/DotSix case. →Raul654 01:26, 28 October 2005 (UTC)
Please don't insert 'big' tags in pages. It will temporarily make them easier to read, but will likely cause them to screw up when TidyHTML is fixed once more. Radiant_>|< 23:30, 14 November 2005 (UTC)
We have a content dispute issue. Please comment on the talk page.

Notice you made an edit today after a couple of months. Do you want to take another look at Francophobia? I have removed the stereotypes section from the end but I have been a touch unilateral and wanted to see if you agree. Marskell 10:06, 27 February 2006 (UTC)
Hi, I noticed you are characterized as a New Yorker or someone living in New York City so perhaps you might be in the NYC area in June. If you are interested we are having a meetup for Wikipedians in June in NYC. Take a peek at this and please tell any other Wikipedians that you think might be interested in participating about this event. Thanks. Alex756 02:25, 11 April 2006 (UTC)
Template:Bsm has been nominated for deletion. You are invited to comment on the discussion at the template's entry on the Templates for Deletion page. Thank you.
Also, similarly for ((esm)).
You will especially notice this when you look at your quotes page. — Kevinkor2 16:45, 20 March 2007 (UTC)
Please start a debate on your proposed merge on the article talk page by stating your case, or else remove the templates. I will probably oppose this merge, depending on the argument you can make. SpinningSpark 16:01, 29 August 2009 (UTC)
A tag has been placed on Massage therapist organizations requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be a clear copyright infringement. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words.
If the external website belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text — which means allowing other people to modify it — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials. If you are not the owner of the external website but have permission from that owner, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission. You might want to look at Wikipedia's policies and guidelines for more details, or ask a question here.
If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding ((hangon))
to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag - if no such tag exists then the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate and adding a hangon tag is unnecessary), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

I notice in the history that you wrote
Criticism of Beatification: there are also non-catholic opposers, btw I don't doubt that - however I didn't have references to support that - if you do then you might want to add it to the article Beatification_and_canonisation_of_Pope_John_Paul_II#Criticism_of_beatification

Hi Jules.LT. In one of your recent edits, you changed the word "Trump" to "Drumpf". I assume that this was unintentional and caused by having the Drumpfinator extension enabled. To avoid this kind of mistake in the future, please disable the extension before editing articles that mention Trump. Thank you. —Granger (talk · contribs) 06:13, 23 June 2016 (UTC)
