==Programming question==

Woops, this computer remembered me using my old Rcouch account (which I'd like to delete) on that last comment....

A related programming question: How hard would it be to prompt non-logged in users to either log-in or create an account when they submit edits? I think they should still be given the chance to just use their IP address without an account, but it's a good excuse to prompt them to create an account (and a good reminder for those of us with an account to login if we forgot!). --[[User:RobertC|RobertC]] 19:26, 13 Aug 2005 (CEST)

It is a great idea. I don't think it is very easy, but maybe one day we will have the resources to do it. In the meantime I'll add it to the list of suggested enhancements. --[[User:Matthewfaulconer|Matthew Faulconer]] 07:12, 14 Aug 2005 (CEST)

>my old Rcouch account (which I'd like to delete) 
Done. --[[User:Matthewfaulconer|Matthew Faulconer]] 05:59, 24 Aug 2005 (CEST)

Robert, I notice Cheryl's new post is extremely long in the entry window yet your other posts just give an excerpt & an invitation to "read more." I write pretty short posts, so this hasn't cropped up as an issue yet. I prefer the excerpt version & wonder if you can fix that with Cheryl's Less.9 post & tell me how to do it if per adventure I have a longer-than-normal-for-me post. Thanks--Nanette 02:01, 26 February 2007 (CET)

:Thanks for pointing this out, I got it fixed. There's a little icon at the top of the Wordpress.com editor that will insert a "more" break. I think the icon has a little box above a separated larger box, or something. --[[User:RobertC|RobertC]] 03:41, 26 February 2007 (CET)

==Scripture journal==

On [[User:Matthewfaulconer|Matthewfaulconer]]'s page, he lists "less introspective" as one of the goals of this site that differentiates it from other blog sites. I personally would like to hear other people's introspective thoughts, esp. in regard to the questions on the commentary page. I think allowing a place for such ruminations on this site will help create a sense of community as well as spark ideas that may eventually become an improvement on the main commentary pages.

However, I understand this may be beyond the scope of this site, at least as originally intended. This also adds 'noise' to the ''recent changes'' page, which is probably followed by many users. So if a personal scripture journal is not appropriate for this site, please let me know. Because these personal reflections don't directly further the main goal and scope of this site (they're too introspective), I'm putting links on the discussion page, not the commentary page.

:I like the idea of people posting some personal reflections on the scriptures that may or may not work well (and not having to worry about whether it does) on their own personal pages. The issue you bring up about noise on the recent changes page is legitimate. I think it wouldn't be too hard to add another switch on this page so that you could hide edits to user pages. I'll add that to the list of enhancements.--[[User:Matthewfaulconer|Matthew Faulconer]] 16:08, 16 Aug 2005 (CEST)

== Please see... ==

Robert, check out my comments [[Help talk:Commentary pages#Discussion about giving credit|here]]. I hope you don't mind me using Heb 5:1-5 as the example. I wanted to use this example because I figured you agreed that your name should have been removed there. --[[User:Matthewfaulconer|Matthew Faulconer]] 17:32, 25 Feb 2006 (UTC)

== Moroni 7 ==

I just got around to looking at the changes you made to [[Moro 7:1-5]] and the stuff you added to the talk page. I like the improvements to the commmentary page. Nice work. Also, I want to continue working on this chapter and this talk pge stuff is good food for thought. Thanks, --[[User:Matthewfaulconer|Matthew Faulconer]] 14:06, 28 Apr 2006 (UTC)

RobertC, when you get a minute, would you check out my questions on my user page, please? I'm trying to get my wiki legs. Thanks --[[User:Nanette|Nanette]] 18:51, 27 Jan 2007 (UTC)

== RE: CR Citations ==

Thanks for the feedback regarding the "Related Links" to GC talks. I had previously talked to Matthew about adding links as a project, and he gave me the thumbs up. I can already see it's going to keep me busy for the next few months. Last night I spent about an hour, and didn't get very far. I am not adding every scripture referenced in the talk, only those that are expanded to some degree in the text, which means that I have to ''read'' the talks pretty carefully. I also had to go back and edit my entries after I determined I was formatting the citation incorrectly. (You know, correct use of italics, abbr., etc...) BTW, do you know what ff. means--footnotes?? --[[User:John|John]] 03:10, 10 February 2007 (CET)

:Seems like you've got a great excuse to read conference talks! I think "ff" means fortissimo meaning "really loud." Just kidding, it [http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/ff means "(and the) following"], though I have no idea why there are two ff's (and I don't think there is a period in this abbreviation). Also, I'm not sure I really use it with correct syntax.... --[[User:RobertC|RobertC]] 03:25, 10 February 2007 (CET)

Hey, if you're around can you check your e-mail? I need some help with a blog post. thanks, --[[User:Matthewfaulconer|Matthew Faulconer]] 06:37, 15 February 2007 (CET)

== greek ==

Hey Robert, Is the Greek in the lexical notes on [[2 Thes 2:1-5]] messed up for you? I'm seeing block squares. Do you know how to fix it (I don't)? --[[User:Matthewfaulconer|Matthew Faulconer]] 05:53, 11 July 2007 (CEST)

:It actually looks OK on my computer, but I installed some Greek fonts a while ago (through Crosswalk's site I think it was). I actually copied the Greek letters only because I wasn't sure how to transliterate this. Generally, I think it's better to just transliterate here to avoid problems and potential problems like this (seems there will always be browsers that struggle with whatever font we choose...), so I went ahead and guessed (though I tried to double check it with the Blue Letter Bible site!). --[[User:RobertC|RobertC]] 06:56, 11 July 2007 (CEST)

== Portuguese version ==

Hi RobertC,

I'm a brasilian user to http://en.mormonwiki.com and http://pt.mormonwiki.com projects.

I've knew '''FATW''' just now (someone talk about this project at MormonWiki-EN).

There is a Portugese version to '''FATW''' project?

If there is not, who can create it? Whatever, we can create a subproject here, making a page like that:

'''1st option''':
*[[Portuguese version]]
**[[Portuguese version/Velho Testamento]] (Old Test.)
**[[Portuguese version/Velho Testamento]] (New Test.)
**[[Portuguese version/Livro de Mórmon]] (BoM)
**[[Portuguese version/Doutrina e Convênios]] (D&C)
**[[Portuguese version/Pérola de Grande Valor]] (PGP)

'''2nd option''':

The expression "Portuguese version" may be changed for only "pt", subpage of the english page:
*[[The Old Testament/pt]]
*[[The New Testament/pt]]
*[[The Book of Mormon /pt]]
*[[Doctrine & Covenants/pt]]
*[[Pearl of Great Price/pt]]

'''3th option''':

(creating a NAMESPACE: <tt>Portuguese:</tt>), doing:

*[[Portugese:Página inicial]] (Main page)
*[[Portuguese:Velho Testamento]]
*[[Portuguese:Novo Testamento]]
*etc.

What do you think?

(excuse me for my bad English)

Att,

{{User:Franklin Kerber/signature}} 17:48, 8 December 2008 (CET)

:Ok,
:It's so much more easy for me to know you send me a message if you respond in my talk page... (I'm moving your respond text to there place).
:If the problem is only now how to do it, I can help, but if the problem is host it, I can't. :(
:Maybe I will create a sub-project at MormonWiki, or maybe something at [http://www.wikia.com Wikia] (Wikia has so many rules about what is legal to put in that, I'm afraid I can't do it there).
:One more thing. I can't confirm my e-mail. I ask for that at [[Special:Confirmemail]] but I did not receved a e-mail to do it. If you can, help me in this too.
:Thank you,

==Why not more content?==
Hi, Matthew.
I really like the idea of this site, especially if it is moderated - as it appears to be. What I am wondering is why there is not more content. For example, your father's lesson notes that appear on the blog should be here at a minimum - don't you think? In any case, I will be using the site more, and I will encourage others to do so. --[[User:Rick]]

:Rick, since Matthew's out of town, let me reply in the meantime: Yes!

:Jim has, from time to time, posted his notes here on the wiki. And, from time to time, others of us have added Jim's notes here. The problem is, quite simply, that it takes work and time to add the content here. Jim started doing his SS notes at the Time and Seasons blog before the wiki ever started, and I think it's easier for him to just type up his notes all on one page and post them to the blog (which, by the way, more users seem comfortable using...) rather than posting his questions (and comments) on various pages of the wiki. He's said he's game for transferring his notes to the wiki, it's just that it takes time, which is something all of us seem to be a bit short on....

:Anyway, welcome to the wiki. If you're interested in transferring Jim's notes, or taking up any other project, we'd love some help. --[[User:RobertC|RobertC]] 18:50, 12 October 2007 (CEST)

:I admit that the Wiki is new and a little confusing. All the same, I would be willing to help transfer Jim's notes. How would I get started? --[[User:Rick|Rick]] 05:19, 13 October 2007 (CEST)

::Rick, looks like you've already figured out the wiki on your own, nice job. Nevertheless, you can go to [[Philip 2:5]] to see how I transferred Jim's note on that verse.

::You might notice that I made some slight stylistic changes when I was removing the instructions on the pages you edited (typically we remove the instructions for each section once content is added), but these changes simply reflect my own idiosyncratic preferences, not any site-wide policy we've adopted or anything.

::Thanks for the work you've already done on D&C 3, and thanks in advance for the contributions you make in the future! --[[User:RobertC|RobertC]] 22:33, 13 October 2007 (CEST)

Hey Rick, I'm just catching up after being away for a bit. Thanks for taking the time to post some stuff. Several people have given their permission to transfer stuff to the wiki, see this page: [[Site:Works to incorporate]]. Often to do it well, some changes have to be made to integrate the text--given the slightly different purpose of this site versus what the author was doing when they wrote it. I think carefully integrating text into the site is a great way to get to know a specific passage of scripture well--a nice sort of personal scripture study exercise. I wish I did more of it myself.

Maybe someday someone who is writing a set of questions or text relevant to, e.g. several chapters at once, would be able to integrate their comments questions into the site and people could respond to them easily, but as of now, the blog is just much better at that. The wiki, in contrast is a better format for incorporating additional and future thoughts related to the same scripture into the same text. Adding a new thought into an existing text is harder than say responding to a post, but, in my view, that hard work is also more important in the long run. I see the wiki and outside resources like the blog as happily co-existing with the wiki stealing ideas (and sometimes text) from outside resources where appropriate, other times just adding links.

Not sure if that answers you questions. Let me know if not.
--[[User:Matthewfaulconer|Matthew Faulconer]] 06:52, 19 October 2007 (CEST)

===Printing glitch===
Is it possible to print the wiki commentary with the scriptures in context? I don't think the formatted material that I could see how to print from the wiki would be very useful. What do you think? Please tell me how you use the site. Thanks. --[[User:Rick|Rick]] 07:16, 14 October 2007 (CEST)

:Rick, I'm not sure if this is what you meant, but I noticed that if you go to print a commentary page, the scripture window does not seem to print the correct passage. That is, if I go to print, for example, the [[D&C 3:11-15]] page, the scripture window prints the D&C 3 heading and only the first line of v. 1, not vv. 11-15. I hadn't noticed this problem before (I hardly ever print anything out from the wiki...), and I doubt Matthew is aware of it. Let's see what he has to say when he gets back in town.

:When I do print things out, I usually print out the commentary for an entire section or chapter at a time (if you click on the chapter or section heading at the top of any commentary page, there will be an option at the bottom of the page that opens allowing you to view all scripture commentary on one page for that section or chapter), and then I print the scriptural text out separately from lds.org, or just use my own scriptures to read from. --[[User:RobertC|RobertC]] 13:50, 14 October 2007 (CEST)

::I don't think this is possible. If someone who knows more knows a way to set the iframe [the scripture window] at the correct bookmark on the printing page let me know. Sorry. Maybe an improvement is to remove the window all together when a user clicks the link "Printable version" --[[User:Matthewfaulconer|Matthew Faulconer]] 06:52, 19 October 2007 (CEST)

:::I like the idea of a "printable version," though I have no idea how hard it would be to create, and I personally don't really consider it a high priority. --[[User:RobertC|RobertC]] 23:09, 19 October 2007 (CEST)
::::Ok. Just so we are on the same page. we have a printable version but it has the same problem. I'm thinking we may be able to fix it. To see the printable version click on the link "printable version" in the toolbox on the left underneath the search. --[[User:Matthewfaulconer|Matthew Faulconer]] 09:09, 27 October 2007 (CEST)

== Invalid Pointer? ==

Hello,
I just discovered this site today, and it sounds like a really great idea. I tried to click on some links leading to BYU articles (Nephi's Outline), and I got an error page saying "invalid pointer". Do you know what that's about? Thanks.
Jon
:Hey Jon, Glad you found the site. Probably the site hosting the BYU article on Nephi's outline changed something on their side since the link was posted. Which page is it (can you give me the link?) that has the link to Nephi's Outline which is causing problems? Thanks, --[[User:Matthewfaulconer|Matthew Faulconer]] 06:49, 30 May 2007 (CEST)

== Um... ==
To tell you the truth, I know next to nothing about how to work in wiki. It took me a couple minutes to figure out how to reply to your message. Anyway, I do have to answer math questions still, but it says that once I confirm my email address (I think xxxxxxxxx is the one I'm using for this account, though xxxxxxxxxx is my personal address) then I won't have to answer math questions anymore. I just haven't taken the time to do that yet.

After skimming your user page, it looks like you're the founder of this whole project. Is that right?

I hope you are enjoying participating. --[[User:Matthewfaulconer|Matthew Faulconer]] 02:55, 9 July 2007 (CEST)
:Also, thanks for letting me know that the math thing is working as expected. And you are doing fine with the wiki stuff. --[[User:Matthewfaulconer|Matthew Faulconer]] 02:57, 9 July 2007 (CEST)

Hey Matthew, I've lost my user password and I requested that it be sent to my email account, but it didn't send. Could you help me out? Thanks - mjberkey

== google books bible commentary ==

I was just messing around this evening seeing what I could find in the way of full text bible commentaries available on google books. I haven't looked in these books yet--i have no idea if they are any good. But I intend to look quickly to see if any of them have an easy answer to the recent question on [[Isa 1:11-15]]. I'll let you all know how it goes.

For now these are in the order I found them--which I think is probably arbitrary.

:Jim F: The major problem with these commentaries--sometimes, though not always, a significant one--is that they are more than 100 years old. A lot of new thinking has gone into reading the Bible, and a lot of new sources have been discovered, so works this old should be used with some caution.
::Good point. Though it is too bad that people who have done work later haven't allowed those works to be published freely on the Internet -- meaning that we have to rely on things where the copyright has expired.
::On a separate but related note, I think I should delete this section pretty soon because in fact these sources I foudn weren't helpful--at least not when researching the thing I was looking for. --[[User:Matthewfaulconer|Matthew Faulconer]] 07:42, 21 May 2008 (CEST)

I just took a quick gander to see if Keil and Delitzsch is on Google-Book, and I found at least some of the volumes there available for full view. It might be worth fishing around a bit to find them all and to set up links. I also checked for Adam Clarke's commentary, and it looks like it might be available for full view as well. If any more-than-100-year-old commentary is worth keeping on hand, it is probably these two: both are detailed examinations of the scriptures, verse-by-verse. Clarke's commentary provides a good overview of how liberal Christians were reading the Bible in Joseph Smith's day, and Keil and Delitzsch is still widely read and used (a German product). --[[User:Joe Spencer|Joe Spencer]] 16:50, 21 May 2008 (CEST)

Thanks, by the way, for the above links--I think we should add them to one of our resource pages at some point (I'm actually on vacation for the next couple weeks and probably won't get to it for a while). --[[User:RobertC|RobertC]] 13:13, 21 April 2008 (CEST)

==Programming question==

Woops, this computer remembered me using my old Rcouch account (which I'd like to delete) on that last comment....

A related programming question: How hard would it be to prompt non-logged in users to either log-in or create an account when they submit edits? I think they should still be given the chance to just use their IP address without an account, but it's a good excuse to prompt them to create an account (and a good reminder for those of us with an account to login if we forgot!). --[[User:RobertC|RobertC]] 19:26, 13 Aug 2005 (CEST)

Robert, I notice Cheryl's new post is extremely long in the entry window yet your other posts just give an excerpt & an invitation to "read more." I write pretty short posts, so this hasn't cropped up as an issue yet. I prefer the excerpt version & wonder if you can fix that with Cheryl's Less.9 post & tell me how to do it if per adventure I have a longer-than-normal-for-me post. Thanks--Nanette 02:01, 26 February 2007 (CET)

==Scripture journal==

On [[User:Matthewfaulconer|Matthewfaulconer]]'s page, he lists "less introspective" as one of the goals of this site that differentiates it from other blog sites. I personally would like to hear other people's introspective thoughts, esp. in regard to the questions on the commentary page. I think allowing a place for such ruminations on this site will help create a sense of community as well as spark ideas that may eventually become an improvement on the main commentary pages.

== Portuguese version ==

Hi RobertC,

I'm a brasilian user to http://en.mormonwiki.com and http://pt.mormonwiki.com projects.

I've knew '''FATW''' just now (someone talk about this project at MormonWiki-EN).

There is a Portugese version to '''FATW''' project?

If there is not, who can create it? Whatever, we can create a subproject here, making a page like that:

'''1st option''':
*[[Portuguese version]]
**[[Portuguese version/Velho Testamento]] (Old Test.)
**[[Portuguese version/Velho Testamento]] (New Test.)
**[[Portuguese version/Livro de Mórmon]] (BoM)
**[[Portuguese version/Doutrina e Convênios]] (D&C)
**[[Portuguese version/Pérola de Grande Valor]] (PGP)

'''2nd option''':

The expression "Portuguese version" may be changed for only "pt", subpage of the english page:
*[[The Old Testament/pt]]
*[[The New Testament/pt]]
*[[The Book of Mormon /pt]]
*[[Doctrine & Covenants/pt]]
*[[Pearl of Great Price/pt]]

'''3th option''':

(creating a NAMESPACE: <tt>Portuguese:</tt>), doing:

*[[Portugese:Página inicial]] (Main page)
*[[Portuguese:Velho Testamento]]
*[[Portuguese:Novo Testamento]]
*etc.

What do you think?

(excuse me for my bad English)

:Ok,
:It's so much more easy for me to know you send me a message if you respond in my talk page... (I'm moving your respond text to there place).
:Maybe I will create a sub-project at MormonWiki, or maybe at [http://www.wikia.com Wikia] (Wikia has so many rules about what is legal to put in that, I'm afraid I can't do it there).
:One more thing. I can't confirm my e-mail. I ask for that at [[Special:Confirmemail]] but I did not receved a e-mail to do it. If you can, help me in this too.

==Programming question==

Woops, this computer remembered me using my old Rcouch account (which I'd like to delete) on that last comment....

A related programming question: How hard would it be to prompt non-logged in users to either log-in or create an account when they submit edits? I think they should still be given the chance to just use their IP address without an account, but it's a good excuse to prompt them to create an account (and a good reminder for those of us with an account to login if we forgot!). --[[User:RobertC|RobertC]] 19:26, 13 Aug 2005 (CEST)

It is a great idea. I don't think it is very easy, but maybe one day we will have the resources to do it. In the meantime I'll add it to the list of suggested enhancements. --[[User:Matthewfaulconer|Matthew Faulconer]] 07:12, 14 Aug 2005 (CEST)

Robert, I notice Cheryl's new post is extremely long in the entry window yet your other posts just give an excerpt & an invitation to "read more." I write pretty short posts, so this hasn't cropped up as an issue yet. I prefer the excerpt version & wonder if you can fix that with Cheryl's Less.9 post & tell me how to do it if per adventure I have a longer-than-normal-for-me post. Thanks--Nanette 02:01, 26 February 2007 (CET)

==Scripture journal==

On [[User:Matthewfaulconer|Matthewfaulconer]]'s page, he lists "less introspective" as one of the goals of this site that differentiates it from other blog sites. I personally would like to hear other people's introspective thoughts, esp. in regard to the questions on the commentary page. I think allowing a place for such ruminations on this site will help create a sense of community as well as spark ideas that may eventually become an improvement on the main commentary pages.

However, I understand this may be beyond the scope of this site, at least as originally intended. This also adds 'noise' to the ''recent changes'' page, which is probably followed by many users. So if a personal scripture journal is not appropriate for this site, please let me know.
