I am confused. Unlike Wikipedia, there is no way to create new pages or request pages be made. I am very familiar with Wikipedia and I don't know how to get this done here. The pages we need are: 1) Father Arseny, aka Piotr Andreyevitch Streltzof (1893 – 1973). and maybe 2) former evangelical comedian turned Orthodox cultist Mike Warnke and his Holy Orthodox Catholic Church in Kentucky. Here are some websites on the latter.

I took off the 'To Do' list because so much of it was done - that's great! I just sent out an email to the OCA Clergy list soliciting contributions. More solicitations to come. [[User:FrJohn|FrJohn]]

==Clean Up tags==
Hi, I think adding 'clean up' tags to just about EVERY article I create is getting beyond ridiculous ... I cant believe that everything I contribute is considered by Martha as rubbish and requiring clean up ... I think Administrators need to moderate how much 'policing' they exhibit on this site as it can appear to be personal and out of control some times ... I challenge anyone to compare the Jacob disambiguation page to the Mary disambiguation page and explain to me why the Jacob page requires a clean up and the mary page DOES NOT? If anything the format is the same, the etymology is there, all saints with that name have been listed, put into chronological list AND linked to availale OW pages ...do u know how much work went into doing that? It was hours ...and its disappointing to have a 'clean up' tag just added with no IDEA what it is I need to clean up! [[User:Ixthis888|Vasiliki]] 06:47, April 10, 2008 (UTC)
 
: It is true that the tag is often included in an article without an explanation&mdash;it would help if we were all a little more fastidious in that regard. In any event, it's never meant personally. It's just a mark noting that work needs to be done on the article to bring it up to OrthodoxWiki standards. It may appear that your articles have been tagged often, but let's face it: you've also added a rather massive number of new articles in a short time. It stands to reason that many tags may be included.
 
: I think the reason why many of your articles are tagged is that it's clear that academic English is not your primary means of communication, in addition to various non-standard bits of formatting and so forth. I can see a lot of things that need to be fixed in both the [[Jacob (disambiguation)]] and [[Mary]] articles (and most of the other disambig articles you've done), especially in their introductory paragraphs. They don't read as sentences, for instance&mdash;more like erratically parsed dictionary entries. The language notes need to be put inside parentheses, and there's a broken link in the Jacob article. If you want to see a well-done disambiguation page, check out [[Symeon (disambiguation)]] or [[Synaxis]].
 
: Remember&mdash;it's not personal. A general rule, though, is that if you feel emotionally agitated by something on the wiki, it's probably best to take a wiki-break and then come back to the work later. &mdash;[[User:ASDamick|<font size="3.5" color="green" face="Adobe Garamond Pro, Garamond, Georgia, Times New Roman">Fr.

== Unable to Save - 500.shtml ==
I am experiencing the following problem, it wont allow me to save or modify any articles. The following message appears:
:500.shtml
:From OrthodoxWiki
:OrthodoxWiki does not currently have an article with this exact name. (Page titles on OrthodoxWiki are case sensitive except for the first character.)
:You can Start the 500.shtml article.
:If you have created this page in the past few minutes and it has not yet appeared, it may not be visible due to a delay in updating the database. Please wait and check again later before attempting to recreate the page.
:Search for 500.shtml in other articles.
:If you created an article under this title previously, it may have been deleted by the administration. (Check the deletion log)
 
::I am getting the same error Vasiliki. Tried logging out and backing in; tried editing smaller sections of an article, still no go. This error pops up. [[User:Angellight 888|Angellight 888]] 16:44, October 6, 2009 (UTC)
