User talk:Gold Dragon

Hello Gold Dragon and welcome to Wikipedia! Hope you like it here, and stick around.

Here are some tips to help you get started:

To sign your posts (on talk pages, for example) use the '~' symbol. To insert just your name, type ~~~ (3 tildes), or, to insert your name and timestamp, use ~~~~ (4 tildes).
Try the Tutorial, and feel free to experiment in the test area.
If you need help, post a question at the Help Desk
Follow the Wikipedia:Simplified Ruleset
Eventually, you might want to read the Manual of Style and Policies and Guidelines.
Remember Wikipedia:Neutral point of view
Explore, be bold in editing pages, and, most importantly, have fun!

Good luck!

I liked your changes to Baptist -- looks very good to me! I may go over it later -- looks to me like in a few places you forgot to capitalize "Baptist". :-) Please keep contributing -- you do excellent work. Leave me a note at User talk:Jwrosenzweig if you ever need my help or want a question answered. Welcome to Wikipedia! Jwrosenzweig 18:52, 5 Aug 2004 (UTC)

I'm all alone on the emerging church page and need your help (to walk me through in baby steps) on endnotes. Looking forward to hearing from your again.--Will3935 23:48, 26 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I understand being busy. Been there. You are still missed on the emerging church article. I do hope you noticed 1) My expression of gratitude for your concern and prayers for my health 2)My removal of the link to my article. Hope you get more free time soon.--Will3935 23:44, 28 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Wanted you to know it wasn't me that added the link to my article. The guy who did runs theemerge.com (really).--Will3935 23:29, 30 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Albigensian Crusade[edit]

I'm contacting you out of courtesy as you have contributed to the page and may wish to supply your own citations. If you feel this doesn't matter to you, please ignore it. This page was rated as a Good Article, but has been downgraded because nobody did the donkeywork of listing the attributions to the various statements provided, which is after all a fairly serious dereliction of duty in what's suppoed to be a historical record. Having discussed the withdrawal of GA with LuciferMorgan, I give notice that I am sitting down with the three classic original source texts (Puylaurens, Vaux-de-Cernay and de Tudèle - the last in the Livre de Poche edition as the Martin-Chabot is long out of print) to add the missing inline citations to this page. I do not intend at this point to make any textual alterations, but if comments are made which are NOT justified, be prepared to state your sources now.

Anonymity[edit]

I know you meant me no harm a while back when you mentioned that a particular article was written by Will3935. I sometimes discuss my articles with individuals on their talk pages, asking for their feedback or critiqes so I am not upset that you did this. Still, sometimes scary characters appear on Wikipedia. I encountered one about a year ago on a different article that I felt was threatening me with bodily harm. I am sure you will appreciate my concern to have some degree of anonymity. Thus, you would do me a real favor if you did not mention Will3935 as the author of a specific article on the discussion page (even though I may select some editors to tell that to on their talk pages). I suspect you would feel the same way as you once (a long time ago) told me about your concern to maintain anonymity. I hope all is well with you. I am still struggling with health problems but managing to get some things done nevertheless. I am sure medical school is going well for you. I would be interested to know sometime what specialty you are leaning toward.Will3935 (talk) 08:46, 14 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Good GP's are very important. My wife was misdiagnosed by a GP and suffered needlessly for a couple of years before consulting a different physician. I have also found them to be vital as the first link in my healthcare. The one I have now works uncomfortably fast but he seems to be very sharp and is able to do his job very competently. I could elaborate but we are not supposed to use these pages for personal dialog. Competent GP's who really care are a valuable resource for the sick and suffering. I think that helping those of us with health problems is doing God's work.Will3935 (talk) 12:33, 14 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
