User talk:Mathijs~enwiki

hey mathijs - long time no see;-7 WojPob

long time?
Last weekend I've had a very unsatisfying clash with some 'reasonable people'
Even Christ has admitted in the Bible that he has some flaws, but I'm not allowed to have any.

That's very interesting. I never noticed that. Can you point to where he says that? <>< tbc

Somewhere Jesus says that he is human, with corresponding human fallacies; I've been searching for the exact verse, without succes, uptonow. BTW: in my opinion the whole new testament is about Jesus being human. If I remember correctly he said something like: nothing human is strange to me

Aren't you thinking of Terence, who wrote "Homo sum; humani nil a me alienum puto" ("I am human; I count nothing human foreign to me"). --Zundark, 2001 Nov 6

I actually only know the Dutch phrase: "Niets menselijks is mij vreemd". nothing human is strange to me is my own litteral translation of that; in English bibles it will most certainly be phrased in many different ways - it might even be apogryphic, I really don't know

This is the exact Dutch wording in a translation of Terence given here. --Zundark, 2001 Nov 6

Terence surely has had a immense impact on young Jesus that he quoted him somewhere (where?). And if he didn't, he should have (in cases like this, it's all about belief, anyway)

I've basically stopped contributing. I shouldn't have gotten involved with Gamefoolz and let people just be delete-happy boneheads, but I couldn't help it. I'm actually more torqued off by the USA PATRIOT Act and the September 11, 2001 Terrorist Attack/Detentions than I am by the state of Wikipedia, so I added those, and I really care about the victims, so I did a little numerical updating, but there have been a wide range of general contributions/updates/maintenance etc. that I would have done earlier that I have no interest in doing now.

Also, I would have made up a good logo or added helpful critique (the ones that are proposed are ugly or flawed--certainly no better than the current one); I would have helped with the GFDL licensing quandary (which shouldn't be a quandary); I'd be more diligent about submitting bug reports/critiques on the new wiki, etc. But from my tone you can see that I would be hard-pressed to be contributory.

And the second a better alternative comes along, I'm totally gone. I may have to create it, but so be it.

Take care.

Your user page

I found your old user page while checking out some old deleted contributions. I have history merged it, so that all edits are in one place. Hope you don't mind. Graham87 14:27, 29 January 2009 (UTC)

Your account will be renamed

Hello,

The developer team at Wikimedia is making some changes to how accounts work, as part of our on-going efforts to provide new and better tools for our users like cross-wiki notifications. These changes will mean you have the same account name everywhere. This will let us give you new features that will help you edit and discuss better, and allow more flexible user permissions for tools. One of the side-effects of this is that user accounts will now have to be unique across all 900 Wikimedia wikis. See the announcement for more information.

Unfortunately, your account clashes with another account also called Mathijs. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Mathijs~enwiki that only you will have. If you like it, you don't have to do anything. If you do not like it, you can pick out a different name. If you think you might own all of the accounts with this name and this message is in error, please visit Special:MergeAccount to check and attach all of your accounts to prevent them from being renamed.

Your account will still work as before, and you will be credited for all your edits made so far, but you will have to use the new account name when you log in.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Yours,
Keegan Peterzell
Community Liaison, Wikimedia Foundation
