Animals

I've been watching your edits on the article Animals in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and want to complement you. You've added a lot of good material and cited it well. Keep up the good work! Pahoran513 19:36, 28 December 2006 (UTC)

What makes a linguist

What exactly is the bar that you would have someone jump over to be a "linguist"? Richard Pakham studied linguistics his entire life - got a Masters degree in German, nearly finished his doctorate (opted out of his own accord) after studying dozens of languages. I guess I don't see why you are bent out of shape in calling him a "linguist" - he certainly seems like one to me. I think you would also agree that he is notable as a prominent ex-Mormon who advocates his views on the Internet. Can you explain a little better why you disagree with me, because I just don't understand, and it seems like you are trying to attack his credibility in a POV manner. Please correct me if I am wrong.--Descartes1979 (talk) 05:03, 23 July 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for the corrections at the Linguistics article, upon reflection, I agree with your thinking, and I may have been too quick to edit. I like the wording as it stands now. --Descartes1979 (talk) 17:04, 31 July 2008 (UTC)

Linguistics article dispute

Just wanted to give you a heads up - I reverted your revert of my edits at Linguistics and the Book of Mormon. I carefully reflected on your edits the first time around, and did not do a wholesale revert - I stand by the majority of my edits, and think that they will stand up to scrutiny by the community. I hope we can come to a consensus, and have asked for a third opinion at User talk:Gwen Gale#Could use a third opinion. Lets try to work this out on the talk page before reverting any further.--Descartes1979 (talk) 05:33, 9 September 2008 (UTC)

I appreciate you exercising restraint as you mentioned, I know it is difficult when you don't agree with what the article currently says. I responded at the talk page with more - here's hoping we can come to a consensus. --Descartes1979 (talk) 07:27, 9 September 2008 (UTC)
