Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help.

Your GA nomination of Harvard Extension School

[edit]

The article Harvard Extension School you nominated as a good article has been placed on hold . The article is close to meeting the good article criteria, but there are some minor changes or clarifications needing to be addressed. If these are fixed within 7 days, the article will pass; otherwise it may fail. See Talk:Harvard Extension School for things which need to be addressed. Message delivered by Legobot, on behalf of Carbrera -- Carbrera (talk) 19:00, 17 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Briancua, it has been a week without a response. It would be a shame if, like last time, this nomination failed because you didn't respond in time to it. I suggest that the next time you edit here, you give this review your top priority. At the very least, if editing time is scarce, ask for an extension; if you don't post at all, you're likely to find the review closed in fairly short order. Thanks.

Knights of Columbus

[edit]

Why are you hiding the description of their political activities (single largest donor to prop 8). They are basically a functionary of the Religious Right, while also involved in a great deal of secular charity. I have no intention of obscuring the latter but why are you intent to obscure the former? Steeletrap (talk) 16:41, 5 January 2018 (UTC) You claim that noting the political contributions is "too much detail" for the lede. What is your basis for this. The political donations, esp. prop 8, have gotten more RS mentions than the secular charitable causes. Maybe that's wrong but we haev to go off of RS. So either all the mentions of specific charitable endeavors must be removed for the lede, or the political stuff stays. Steeletrap (talk) 20:17, 5 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

DRN Question

[edit]

Please see my questions at DRN. Are you really trying to promote discussion, or to achieve consensus? If you are only trying to promote discussion, Wikipedia is not a debating society, and I will close the thread. If you are trying to achieve consensus, the RFC should either be allowed to run to close, or should be withdrawn, and possibly replaced by a better-written RFC. Robert McClenon (talk) 20:26, 20 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

The current wording of the lede refers to Catholic social teaching in general, which is a reasonable starting place. My own suggestion at this point is to withdraw the current RFC, and to run a new RFC on any particular position that any editor thinks should be included in the lede (as opposed to in the article body). That is my recommendation, but it is your call. Just trying to "promote discussion" to achieve consensus may just cause the positions to be restated over and over. Robert McClenon (talk) 17:20, 21 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

On another note

[edit]

I understand the Knights of Columbus were founded in New Haven and that is their headquarters, but as they list they have councils in about a dozen other countries, the article seems a bit US-centric. They are an international organization, aren't they? What's the story with Mexico, Poland, or the Bahamas? Is it worth adding anything to this effect?, And if so, where? There's a lot of America, but Canada is hardly mentioned except for their opposition to same-sex marriage -which is only an extension of the American politics. -or never mind.

Catholicism and homosexuality

[edit]

I'm starting to find your approach tiresome and wearying I'm afraid. I find it best if we avoid being too defensive when it comes to articles dealing with the Catholic Church. I appreciate that you may have a close bond with Catholicism and want to avoid the Church being misrepresented. But it is crucial at the same time to be neutral as an editor - to be ready to talk about the wrongs as well as the rights of an organisation or individual. There is space both for Catholic "teaching" and those that have suffered at the hands of Catholic teaching. It's not our job to defend a particular organisation or to make it look "respectable". Let's just deal with the facts in an even-handed way. I have dealt with a number of religious editors over the years in relation to this article - each time they took a one-dimensional perspective. I'm afraid it never ends well. And I don't appreciate that you're compiling a dossier against me ready to make a complaint. I don't see that as an editor genuinely acting in good faith. So let's all try a bit harder shall we and I'm sure we can make these articles as informative for the casual reader as possible.Contaldo80 (talk) 13:45, 7 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Reinhard Marx

[edit]

Dear BrianCUA I hope you are well. At 04:49, 30 August 2018‎ I made a number of edits to the article Reinhard Marx. On 01:15, 31 August 2018 you made an edit[1] that directly altered my edit. I note from the article history that this is not an article that you have previously edited. On Wikipedia:Harassment guidance states: "Hounding on Wikipedia (or "wikihounding") is the singling out of one or more editors, joining discussions on multiple pages or topics they may edit or multiple debates where they contribute, to repeatedly confront or inhibit their work. This is with an apparent aim of creating irritation, annoyance or distress to the other editor. Hounding usually involves following the target from place to place on Wikipedia." I'm sure that it wasn't your aim at all to hound me and your edit changes seem a sensible one. And so I am assuming WP:GOODFAITH on this occasion. Have a great day. Contaldo80 (talk) 01:45, 31 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

You are correct on all counts. I had never edited that page before, my edit did change something you wrote, and it wasn't at all to hound you. As you state, the edit was a sensible one. Given your comment last week that you were going to give up editing "for the foreseeable future," I was surprised to see your name appear in my watch list. I checked to see just how active you have been, and discovered what looked like an honest mistake. I took it upon myself to correct it. I didn't think it would be a problem. --BrianCUA (talk) 03:21, 31 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
That's great. No offence taken. Yes, well life is full of surprises I guess. Contaldo80 (talk) 04:27, 31 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Catholic Church and homosexuality

[edit]

If you think using italics to emphasize the word "people" in ""Catholic teaching condemns homosexual acts as gravely immoral, while holding that gay people..." is not a case of WP:SCAREQUOTES then I suggest that you make your case on the talk page. Unduly emphasizing a word like that is not appropriate, whether is is by means of quotes, bold, italics capital letters, or any means. The implication that homosexuals are not "people" is offensive. It was not appropriate for you to restore that contested edit. Meters (talk) 02:18, 31 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Endicott

[edit]

Please stop adding information about random pedestrian strikes at the station. I have already explained to you why it is not relevant to the article. If you wish to include all details about Dedham-related articles at your editorial discretion, local.wiki would be a better choice than Wikipedia.

Culture of Life

[edit]

I feel there is a possessiveness in the way you edit articles. This really has to stop BrianCUA. It is a very aggressive approach and not in the spirit of Wikipedia. You alter my edits the moment they are made and dismiss my arguments and concerns as if they are irrelevant. Contaldo80 (talk) 20:50, 3 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Query

[edit]

You style your username as "BrianCUA". I work with a lot of paid editors, and many of them incorporate the name of their employer in their username. So -- are you an employee of Catholic University of America? If so, is editing WP part of your duties? Thanks.Jytdog (talk) 22:37, 4 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

No, I am not an employee of CUA. I was once paid to create a completely unrelated article, and disclosed this on the talk page.]] That is the extent of my paid contributions to the project. --BrianCUA (talk) 00:01, 5 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks. Are you perhaps an alum then? Jytdog (talk) 00:05, 5 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
If it is not clear why I asked, if you are an alum then you should not be editing the CUA article directly, as its reputation and yours (especially if you have such an affiliation that you include it in your username) are tied, and that constitutes a conflict of interest. Please do reply. Thanks. Jytdog (talk) 20:42, 6 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
In line with Wikimedia's privacy policy, I choose not to reveal any personal details about myself. This includes things like the educational institutions I may have attended. Aside from Traffic School by Improv, which I disclosed, I don't believe I have ever edited in violation of the Conflict of Interest policy. --BrianCUA (talk) 22:41, 6 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
OK. I was asking per the COI guideline; I ask you to keep that in mind, along with advocacy issues, if you choose to keep working on the CUA page. Thanks for your reply. Jytdog (talk) 23:45, 6 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
