I ask that you remove my account from your wiki. --Patriarchanthony 14:22, December 2, 2005 (CST)

Unfortunately, accounts can't be deleted (as you know if you're administering MediaWiki), but we can block it. I trust that isn't necessary though. Fr. John

It depends on your Administrators. If they had an issue with me they should have address me personally. Instead they took it to public forum and that is outragous. I have removed all content that was from your websites and would like to remind you that the content here on Orthodoxwiki was listed as released under GNU FDL. But I see from your admins this license display is false. --Patriarchanthony 14:31, December 2, 2005 (CST)

Hmm... well, the discussion on OrthodoxWiki:Administrators was removed, but I do think a public response to a public site is appropriate. Yes, our "original" content is all GFDL, but please note GFDL does require attribution, at least to OrthodoxWiki. Please read the GFDL license for details.

Let me say too that we (and the Copts) aren't persecuting you out of spite, as you seem to imagine. We do not believe that someone can just start an Orthodox church on their own. Using these titles for your group, and the trappings of Orthodox, means to us that you are being deceptive in your claims. That's why we have to put the independent notice on your page -- otherwise we would sacrifice our own credibility. I hope you can understand this. I don't know why you want to create your own group, what your issues are. But to us being "Orthodox" means something - it has a definite shape and a canonical embodiment. Hope that helps, Fr. John
