Main Page News

Tony:

Template:News is not subject to protection. Check with Chris, by all means, to see whether he wants you to edit that. But the News template is not protected, and any registered user may edit it. It even has a link at the bottom: "Post News." That allows you to publish new items of news without changing the Main Page layout, which is protected.--TemlakosTalk 19:49, 12 January 2008 (EST)

Regarding Main Page News Headlines

I was wondering if I am able to update the news headlines, I would love to do that most days, if possible as I am always on the web looking at the news and have the time. --Tony Sommer 19:22, 12 January 2008 (EST)

Yes definitely. You can update the Current events page also. But the News lists should only be used for news specifically related to creation apologetics. The main page news list is used for press releases over the past 12 months, and as that page should be limited to the current length, the news posted there must be very selective. Also note that qualifying news should also be redundantly posted to one of the news archive pages also, so they arent lost when their 12 month term expires.

Personally, I dont feel either of the news items you just posted are suitable for the main page or subject news archive pages. However, it is suitable to place such news stories in the footer of the appropriate article. I would suggest that you instead place the following news items in the footer of the stem cell and DNA replication articles.

I would simply use the External links section and maybe create a news section in Bold (not a level 3 heading). We really dont want the reference or links section to have subheadings and stretch the menu.

MATCH UPDATE

Hey tony, I am editing MATCH stuff on my talk page now. Feel free to come over and drop any thoughts comments or project material.--Tylerdemerchant 16:55, 17 January 2008 (EST)

References

good changes to the stem cell article.

This is a way better way to do references.--Tylerdemerchant 14:34, 18 January 2008 (EST)

biblical characters

Which should be used for what. Are we essentially aiming to move all biblical characters into the Biblical person category instead? --Tony Sommer 17:20, 19 January 2008 (EST)

Yes. When a category becomes fully developed, we will divide the contents into subcategories. There may be some lingering need for that category for articles that dont fall into other categories. Otherwise, we're now using these instead.

Do not delete content

You deleted the majority of the Progressive creationism page.[1]

In the future, propose deletions (more than a sentence long) using the discussion page and it will be removed if deemed appropriate. This a site-wide policy that we expect all users to uphold.

Portal updates

Tony,

We need someone updating the Portals periodically and I thought maybe you'd be up for it.

It would involve updating the various Portal items, such as the lists of article and categories. But also selecting new featured articles, pictures, and bios. The updates are done through the various templates that make-up the page. Take a look and see what you can do.Portal:Biology

--Mr. Ashcraft - (talk) 20:01, 24 January 2008 (EST)

Tony - since we were offline for a while after bringing this up the first time, I thought it deserved another mention. Let me know if you need any guidelines or cant figure out how to edit the portals. Its a little tricky, but the page is simply a composite of templates. You would need to use the category for the portal subject (i.e. [[category:biology]]) to update the list of articles and categories. --Mr. Ashcraft - (talk) 01:40, 25 March 2008 (PDT)

Scientific technique

Should Intelligent Design be considered a Scientific technique? --Tony 14:19, 8 March 2008 (PST)

No - I dont think so. A scientific technique is generally thought of as a physical process that is performed during the course of research. While ID can refer to a research program, its not a technique. --Mr. Ashcraft - (talk) 18:27, 9 March 2008 (PDT)

sorry

sorry Tony

I also edited while you were editing and I hope I didnt screw anything up. I think it is very important that we emphasize "why" these mutations are not mathematicaly probable. If evolutionists simply say that many, many accumulated mutations would eventually be related is ludicrous because then 1000 more mutations would be unrelated or even related in a negative manner. I also wrote a pretty big responce to scorpionman's question on the talk page ;)--Tylerdemerchant 00:24, 25 April 2008 (PDT)

Old church

Did you see the news item on the Jordanians discovering what they claim is the oldest church ever discovered? I don't know if that would be of any use to you for the ecclesiastical history page, but I thought I would mention it to you. ~ MD "Webster" Otley (talk) 02:07, 14 June 2008 (UTC)

mutation insertions

Tony, what about insertions. Wouldnt these be new information?

for example, in a double helix, there could be a random insertion, couldnt there?--Tylerdemerchant 20:41, 16 July 2008 (UTC)
