Strength rating for contradictions/errors?

Hi Peter-

This is a great wiki, I'm glad we are working to do this as a group effort, since individual efforts tend to be lost. Anyway, I was thinking about the problem of list size - a list of many contradictions must include ones that are on the borderline for being real contradictions, yet giving only a small list of the best contradictions makes it look like the small list is all there is. To resolve this, what about adding a subjective "strength" rating (maybe a 1-10 scale) to each page - then we can edit it up or down as we all see fit (maybe by vote), and someone could do a search for, say, "all contradictions that are an 8 or stronger"?

Just an idea. I just joined and hope to help out here and there. Also, can I add likely "con" arguements to pages, even if I am "pro" on that page? Thanks for bearing with me. I'm very inexperienced with wiki stuff.

Thanks- Equinox

Hi again - it's been a while, and I haven't seen a response to this. Should I email you directly? - Equinox 8.23.06

Hi Equinox. Peter Kirby hasn't done much here in the last six months except apologize for not doing much here in the last six months. The best way to reach Peter is to email him directly. If more people bothered him to respond it would probably increase our chances of getting a response. Anyway, I'm the Owner of ErrancyWiki. Regarding your questions:

Eventually I would like to have a strength rating for Errors that would be searchable. In the meantime we need more Pro arguments in General and a few really detailed ones.

Theoretically the Con (think about that word) area is reserved for those who really believe in it. Ideally, a Con argument by a Pro person should be dealt with in the Neutral section. But, until we get more arguments I'll probably just leave such arguments in the Con section for the time being.

Hi Joe! Thanks for the response. Sounds like a good plan. I'll do my part in adding more pro sections so we can get the rating going eventually. I'll put cons in the neutrals, and pro responses to cons in the pro section. Should we have a single page that lists a bunch of standard, boilerplate con arguments, such as "the hebrew word means something different", and "we cannot question god", and "in ancient hebrew culture there is no contradiction"? Would you like me to start a page like that? where? --

Let's hold off on the special page you described for now.

Creating New Pages

Peter, how do you create a new page?

Orphaned Page

Hi, Peter,

There's an orphaned page that needs to be deleted at 1st Chronicles 3--it was evidently the first draft of the 1 Chronicles 3 page.

Admin Discussion

You (and the other admins, when they are appointed) may also want to consider a Vote for Deletion procedure.

--JustinEiler 18:10, 21 Aug 2005 (CDT)

I'd rather leave deletion at the discretion of the admins, with experience with the frivolity and acrimony engendered by VfD. Most comments will be on existing verse pages anyway.--Peter Kirby 19:44, 21 Aug 2005 (CDT)

Regarding the Admin offer--I still have my doubts about my qualifications, but if you'll have me, I'll accept it with thanks.

Blocked IP

Several cases of vandalism from an IP within Visteon Corp. Tomorrow, I'll contact the company and see if they'll do something with the vandal.

Admin Resignation

Hi, Peter and Joe,

Due to reasons of health, I'm going to have to step down as an ErrancyWiki admin, effective immediately. I apologize for the short notice, but this kind of caught me without warning.

Thanks,
