Welcome to OrthodoxWiki!

Hello, LoveMonkey, 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.

Lossky

Your question in regards to Vladimir Lossky had already been put forward by Fr Lev, and answered on his talk page. — edited by Pιsτévο talk complaints at 06:41, August 29, 2006 (CDT)

Wasn't trying to answer anything about Lossky. As I said in my previous response to Fr Lev, I didn't write it. This user wrote the article using a faulty article name, and because there was already an article at Vladimir Lossky, I amalgamated the information of the Lossky article into the Vladimir Lossky article. Aside from small details about his relations with Elder Sophrony, I do not profess knowledge in this area, nor did I ever claim it. This is a wiki - if you know better, then for the good of everyone who reads this, change it.
Additionally, the reference template (which I wrongly cited on Fr Lev's talk page) is Template:Citation — edited by Pιsτévο talk complaints at 15:57, August 29, 2006 (CDT)
Please do - and saying what ideas (eg sophiology) that Lossky opposed would also make a valuable contribution to the article.
n.b. Just in case this is relevant - don't feel you have to ask permission to edit an article (particularly this one, where I have publicly stated my lack of emotional involvement); this is a wiki, collective knowledge is kinda the only thing we've got. In short - please edit away! :) — edited by Pιsτévο talk complaints at 16:24, September 4, 2006 (CDT)

Exporting to Wikipedia

1. The wiki engine has nothing to do with licensing. It's just a piece of software.

2. I just clarified the existing terms more explicitly, since I saw that there was some disagreement going on over at Wikipedia on the subject.

3. Licensing on OrthodoxWiki was defined by the administration within the first year of its inception. It is unlikely to be changed at this point, since so many edits here have been contributed under its terms. (This same message was posted on my talk page.) —Fr.

Theo-philosophical articles

You have probably noticed that I've deleted a couple articles you've been working on. As I've stated elsewhere, the reason why these articles were deleted is that they didn't fit in to the purpose of OrthodoxWiki, namely, to produce encyclopedic articles on Orthodox Christianity which are accessible to the non-expert (which should be true of any encyclopedia). Remember that this is not a compendium of philosophical essays, but rather of direct, basic educational material. See the Oxford Dictionary of the Christian Church and the Blackwell Dictionary of Eastern Christianity for examples of the kinds of articles that are appropriate.

Thanks for your contributions! —Fr. Andrew talk contribs (THINK!) 21:00, September 1, 2008 (UTC)
