== Changes for the morning of May 11, 2016 ==
  
== Interwiki ==
+
You're probably still working on this, but it looks like the changes I made to pages this morning were lostA couple of them were minor, but I did a significant wikification/edit of one of the pages [[Bulgarian Eastern Orthodox Diocese of the USA, Canada and Australia]].  Any chance this can be restored(P.SThank you for all your hard work!) [[User:Katjuscha|Katjuscha]] ([[User talk:Katjuscha|talk]]) 18:05, May 11, 2016 (UTC)
 
 
Father, would it be okay to get rid of some of [[Special:Interwiki|these]]?  For instance, the [http://andstuff.org/ AndStuff] wiki is personal and closedFor many of these, it's doubtful that we would ever link them, let alone in quantities enough to justify having an interwiki link ([http://www.linuxwiki.de/ LinuxWiki], for example).  On the other hand, it may be easier to keep them than weed them out.  Additionally, some of the interwiki links do not link to wikis, like those related to Google.  Your thoughts?  {{User:Magda/sig}} 13:06, November 21, 2005 (CST)
 
 
 
== Favicon License ==
 
 
 
Father, That license for the favicon was for the favicon that I created. If you read the log, I think HappyGrievling replaced it with a favicon of his version. He just didn't change the license.
 
 
 
== [[OrthodoxWiki:Buzz]] ==
 
 
 
Father, I thought you might be interested in [http://blogsearch.google.com/blogsearch?hl=en&q=orthodoxwiki this link] which I found last night. {{User:Magda/sig}} 09:23, November 24, 2005 (CST)
 
 
 
== Link buttons ==
 
 
 
Fr., the [http://www.flickr.com/photos/magdalainn/13560522/ first one] is link-button size, but the [http://www.flickr.com/photos/magdalainn/13445237/ second] is more banner-sized, and rather illegible when reduced to the size of the firstStill want the secondYou're welcome to both, of course{{User:Magda/sig}} 12:08, November 25, 2005 (CST)
 
 
 
== [[OrthodoxWiki:Photo galleries]] ==
 
 
 
* [[:Category:Skete Images]] - For images used by permission from Skete.com - See [[Special:Whatlinkshere/Template:Skete.com]]
 
I have noticed that [[Special:Whatlinkshere/Template:Skete.com]] does not include all of the images which actually use the template (cf. [[:Image:Dionysius the Areopagite.jpg]]).  Also, how do you make the category page show up as a gallery? {{User:Magda/sig}} 12:56, November 26, 2005 (CST)
 
 
 
== Press photos ==
 
 
 
They're probably actually more in the line of "fair use" than public domain, something like [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template:Promotional what you find here] or [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template:Promophoto here], i.e., that the image was produced for mass distribution.  {{User:ASDamick/sig}} 14:13, November 26, 2005 (CST)
 
 
 
== IRC ==
 
  
Fr. I noticed that Dcn. Damick, Magda, and yourself are doing some serious work with images. I would jump in and help, but don't know where to start. Do you use Firefox for your browser? If so, have you looked at the ChatZilla IRC Client [[OrthodoxWiki:Chat|I wrote about]]. I think this would help everyone talk about what everyone else is doing at the moment and might help speed things along. This is the last time I will mention it for a while. I am currently logged into the #orthodoxwiki channel at irc.freenode.net using the default user name. Joe 18:09 EST 26 Nov 2005

: 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've moved the 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 question of reverting before many edits were made or losing the hitcounter history, going back to 2004...) — [[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)

Okay, so what images do you want in [[:Category:Icons|''this'' category]]?  Each and every icon?  Just want to make sure before going ahead. My plan is to go through [[Special:Imagelist]] tomorrow (or later today, in my time zone) and make sure they're in the lists by subject. {{User:Magda/sig}} 23:17, November 26, 2005 (CST)

:More specifically, do you want to add <nowiki>[[Category:Icons]]</nowiki> even to the images which are already in, say, [[:Category:Skete Images]]?  The Skete Images category itself is in [[:Category:Icons]], but the individual images do not show up in the [[:Category:Icons]] gallery.  {{User:Magda/sig}} 14:30, November 27, 2005 (CST)

If you have any comments, either public or private, they would be very welcome.

Changes for the morning of May 11, 2016

You're probably still working on this, but it looks like the changes I made to pages this morning were lost. A couple of them were minor, but I did a significant wikification/edit of one of the pages Bulgarian Eastern Orthodox Diocese of the USA, Canada and Australia. Any chance this can be restored? (P.S.

No problem!  :) I'm just kind of noticing the differences. I got a whole bunch of server errors for a couple minutes there, but I'm sure that was from the upgrade (I don't get them anymore either). I am determined to get the counter on the front page to 4900 (and hopefully beyond that!)
How does this look?
Awesome! Thank you!  :) Katjuscha (talk) 20:26, May 11, 2016 (UTC)

How can I submit my sandbox page for publication on Orthodox Wiki?

Hello Father John, I have created a page on the Nuns of Shamordino of Solovki Prison and Vorkuta Gulag. I would like to submit it for publication. How can I do that once the page has been created in Sandbox?

Thanks very much. Robert

Invitation to a Conversation

Fr John, I have left a lengthy question about contraception and the Theology of the Body over at Talk:Birth Control and Contraception#The_Theology_of_the_Body. I've benefited from what you have contributed in that talk section. I am reaching out in good faith to see what I can learn from other people. If you have any comments, either public or private, they would be very welcome.
