Welcome to OrthodoxWiki!
Hello, Arbible, and welcome to OrthodoxWiki!
Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Please note that OrthodoxWiki is always in development, so not everything works quite right yet. You can help, though!
OrthodoxWiki is a community-edited encyclopedia of Orthodox Christianity. Articles are created and edited by our members, and so everything that we do here is subject to review and revision. The result is a true consensus product, with every interested editor contributing his own knowledge and writing skills. As such, when you feel that criticism of an article is warranted, we encourage you to join in and fix it! Don't worry about breaking anything or doing something wrong—the other editors here are happy to jump in and help you learn.

PLEASE read carefully the section of the Style Manual titled OrthodoxWiki:Style Manual (Point of View). Also please note that other editors will assume that you have read the Style Manual (our official editing guidelines). If you're wondering why an edit was reverted, an article renamed, or any other unexpected changes were made by another editor, check there. |
Please also take a few moments to edit your user page by clicking on your name here, so that we can know a bit about you: User:Arbible. Feel free also to add your picture to the OrthodoxWiki:User gallery.
If you are uploading images, be sure you're doing so legally and according to OrthodoxWiki policy. Failure to abide by policy may result in your images getting deleted without warning.
If you would like to experiment with the wiki, please feel free to do so in the Sandbox.
By the way, you can sign your name on Talk and other discussion pages using three tildes, like this: ~~~. Four tildes (~~~~) produces your name and the current date. Please sign your comments on Talk pages, so everyone will easily be able to see who left them.
You'll have to verify your email address before editing any pages. This helps us prevent spam. Don't worry, your email won't be viewable to anyone but the sysops. We respect your privacy.
If you have any questions, see the help pages, add a question to the Questions page, or ask me on my Talk page.
We hope you enjoy editing here and being a part of our community! —magda 15:09, 2 Jul 2005 (EDT)
Recent image uploads
Thank you for your recent contributions. I've noticed that you uploaded multiple images pertaining to Pope Shenouda III. Those need to be tagged with Image licenses. Please do so that we know they're not potential copyright violations.
Additionally, some of them have names which are non-descriptive or not specific enough (e.g., 26defe3.jpg, P1010582.jpg, and With_Pope_John_Paul_II.gif). They'll need to be reuploaded with new names (along with tags). —[[User:ASDamick|—Fr. Andrew talk contribs (THINK!)]] 13:46, 7 Jul 2005 (EDT)
Re: Copyright discussion
Certainly you are forgiven. Please forgive me if I offended you in any way. It's easy for these sorts of things to become misunderstandings. —[[User:ASDamick|—Fr. Andrew talk contribs (THINK!)]] 17:22, 7 Jul 2005 (EDT)
Coptic Contributions
Just wanted to say that I'm very happy to have Coptic contributions to this site. We've tried to make our own bias and position very clear in OrthodoxWiki:Style_Manual#Neutrality_and_the_OrthodoxWiki_Bias. I remember fondly contacts with non-Chalcedonians at seminary, and the sense of closeness we had, and know people who have very good relations with Pope Shenouda. Fr. John
Saints and calendar dates
For the information you add regarding saints who are common to both the non-Chalcedonian and Chalcedonian churches, would you mind including the dates according to the Chalcedonian calendar, as well? I don't think most of us who aren't non-Chalcedonians are going to know what the equivalent date on our own calendar will be for the Coptic calendar or other Oriental Orthodox calendars. —[[User:ASDamick|—Fr.
