== Protest == Fr. John,I published my article on Hebrew Catholics in the Orthodox Wiki portal for two reasons, the first is I couldn't log in the General Wikipedia and the second because it is related to an Eastern spirituality. You said you deleted it because it is not convenient for your site, i mean, you consider it not appropriate. So, where is the information right for your believers and anybody else? Where is the Christian spirit you proclaim? I don't pretend to alien or romanize the Orthodoxy, as i understand we are from the same Apostolic root. Where is the final period for a real unity? When until are the Latin and Orthodox fighting Changes for little things?I'm a great admiror of the Eastern culture and its ritual traditions. I respect and support the diversity in the Church morning of Christ. I believe in the unity but not the uniformity. So, if you could see i look for the defined identities from the peoples.<small>—The preceding unsigned comment was added by [[User:Levikahano|Levikahano]] ([[User talk:Levikahano|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Levikahano|contribs]]) {{{2|}}}.</small> ::Hi Levikahano, It's not right for OrthodoxWiki because it deals with a Roman Catholic group. I'm not saying the group isn't important or that we may share many things, but this generally isn't in the scope of material that we would include here. I would encourage you to put it on a Catholic wiki, or even on Wikipedia. May God bless you. {{User:FrJohn/sig}} == Deletes and undeletes? == I'm curious as to what exactly you're doing.

I wouldn't do too well on handling theological subject, but history, etc. and sounding off on non-theological subject I can do.

You're probably still working on this, but it looks like the changes I had been meaning made to e-mailing you on the subject pages this morning were lost. A couple of sound (audio) lifesthem were minor, but have kept putting it off. I have did a recording significant wikification/edit of one of the pages [[Bulgarian Eastern Orthodox Diocese of my father-in-law's choir (Victor Pokrovsky) that I recorded at Nicolai-do in 1957 and have wondered if you want to place audio files on Orthodoxwiki. I have the file in two formatsUSA, AIFF Audio file Canada and MP3 Audio fileAustralia]]. I know the perferred format is 'OGG' but so far I haven't found the means to convert it Any chance this can be restored? (P.S. The file is short Thank you for all your hard work!) [[User:Katjuscha|Katjuscha]] ([[User talk:Katjuscha|talk]]) 18:05, May 11 minutes, but of course is a large, 112MB and 127 MB. There is a slight pause at about a one third point for a shorter version.2016 (UTC)

: Hi! Thanks for all your work. The wiki was long overdue for an upgrade (c.f. [[OrthodoxWiki:News|news]] )... I tried first running 1.27, and then 1.26. Turns out that hitcounters were [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T120216 removed]] from core in MW 1.26, so I can send 've moved the file to you if you have access site back to 1.25 and added the [[mw:Extension:HitCounters|HitCounter extension]], so we should be ok moving forward. Let me see what I can do about recovering those edits. (It was a means to convert question of reverting before many edits were made or losing the filehitcounter history, when I get going back to a high speed connection2004...) — [[User:FrJohn|<b>FrJohn</b>]] ([http://orthodoxwiki.org/index.php?title=User_talk:FrJohn&action=edit&section=new talk]) 18:10, May 11, 2016 (UTC) — [[User:FrJohn|<b>FrJohn</b>]] ([http://orthodoxwiki.org/index.php?title=User_talk:FrJohn&action=edit&section=new talk]) 18:10, May 11, 2016 (UTC): ...and please do let me know if you see any other issues. ::No problem! :) I'm on dial-upjust kind of noticing the differences.

::Hi Bill, Of course it's a nice addition, but sysops generally aren't the ones to do the heavy theological writing. Mainly they're just empowered to do a few extra things for the good of the order. Thanks for accepting!::You might not have noticed yet == How can I submit my very subtle announcement on the [[OrthodoxWiki:News|news sandbox page]] about [[osource:Main_Page|OrthodoxSource]], a new sister project to OrthodoxWiki (very much in ''alpha'' stage at this point, which is why the announcement wasn't more strongly stated). The audio recording you mentioned would be great on that site - it's exactly the kind of thing I envisioned it for actually. ::I haven't worked out what to do with large media files yet. There's a few possibilities, including using a free third-party service like [http://ourmedia.org OurMedia]. I think I'd rather keep more direct control of the archives though, so I'm thinking about using something like Amazon's S3 service, which is totally scalable. The downside is that I'd have to ask for donations to cover some of the (relatively minimal, at least initially) cost. We have room to grow publication on the server we're on, but I don't want to overwhelm things, especially if our media hosting grows, as I hope it will.::In terms of formats, I envision being much less strict than Wikimedia Commons - my concern would be less for openness of the format than for general accessibility. In this regard AIFF/MP3 are hard to beat. Maybe the easiest thing to do would be to email you with an FTP login, then you can upload the files at your leisure. Does that sound okOrthodox Wiki?

Your offer, Fr. Hello Father John, sounds very good. I received your e-mail have created a page on the Nuns of Shamordino of Solovki Prison and now Vorkuta Gulag. I will send the file as soon as I learn would like to use the File Transfer Protocol (FTP). This is a first submit it for mepublication. The OrthodxSource sounds like a great addition.[[User:Wsk|Wsk]] 20:10, August 15, 2006 (CDT)How can I do that once the page has been created in Sandbox?

Why, thank you, Father. I'd certainly like to help. My technical/wiki mark-up skills may not be that great, but I'm willing to do anything I can. Just tell me what I need to do next. [[User:GabrielaRelic67|Relic67]] ([[User talk:Relic67|Gabrielatalk]] 22) 18:4714, August 1013, 2006 2016 (CDTUTC)
