-== Congratulations! ==
-Congratulations on your very well deserved promotion to Sysop and other privileges!--[[User:Aschlafly|Andy Schlafly]] 13:48, 28 February 2010 (EST)
-:Oh wow!  Thank you so much!  I'm very excited about this, and I hope I can continue to build our courses here for a long time. [[User:JacobB|JacobB]] 13:49, 28 February 2010 (EST)
-::Perseverance and hard work are conservative values, and they pay off! Congrats, Jacob. --<big>[[User:TK|'''ṬK''']]</big><sub>/Admin</sub><sup>[[User_Talk:TK|/Talk]]</sup> 14:19, 28 February 2010 (EST)

-Thank you all! [[User:JacobB|JacobB]] 15:59, 28 February 2010 (EST)
-== Blocked? ==
-I really don't understand why you blocked me for "last wordism." Is that basically a way to prevent further discussion as to result in not moving the article, as you favor? Or, if it really was for last wordism, I'm not the only one who's guilty of such.
-It's not like great reasons were given for having Obama's middle name in the article title, anyway. All the reasoning I've read so far for having Obama's middle name in the article:
-*Obama tries to soft-peddle his Muslim roots, so let's bring attention to that fact
-*Something about [[Hussein bin Ali]] and 700 years
-*Obama likes change, so let's move away from tradition (?)
-*There's a big difference between Hussein and Jefferson, which, quite honestly...so?
-*He was inaugurated with the name (but so were many other presidents)
-I don't see anything on how his name should be formatted differently, leaving a "hole" in the argument as DerikJ pointed out.
-On a sidenote, why 497 minutes? Seems like an odd number.
-Don't expect me to reply here; I wouldn't want to be blocked for "last wordism" again. But I probably will be for "trouble making." [[User:Kayvan|Kayvan]] 19:23, 28 February 2010 (EST)
-*Noticing this post of yours, I think you are correct, Kayvan. Your mistake, in case you want to know, was belaboring the point and declaring your intent on your user page.  Godspeed to you! --<big>[[User:TK|'''ṬK''']]</big><sub>/Admin</sub><sup>[[User_Talk:TK|/Talk]]</sup> 20:16, 28 February 2010 (EST)
-== Corvidae ==
-Hi there. The link at the bottom of the article provides the required evidence for the mirror test. I will reinsert it as a reference instead of further reading. Additionally, the study in question was on magpies I believe, which are still Corvids. God bless, [[User:Myrobi|Myrobi]] 12:58, 1 March 2010 (EST)
-:When sourcing a statement, use <nowiki><ref></nowiki> tags. Additionally, I gotta say, for me, this does more to raise doubts about the mirror test than convince me birds are self-aware. [[User:JacobB|JacobB]] 13:01, 1 March 2010 (EST)
-:: Me too. On the one hand, it is fairly illogical that such a small-brained creature could be self-aware. On the other hand, it would be a wonder and testament to God's greatness. [[User:Myrobi|Myrobi]] 13:14, 1 March 2010 (EST)
-== Very nice translation ==
-Very nice translation in Luke 22!  We're on track to complete "the most beautiful book ever written" by Easter.--[[User:Aschlafly|Andy Schlafly]] 23:44, 1 March 2010 (EST)
-== Can we finish by Easter? ==
-I did some estimates and figure that we have translated over half the New Testament.  With Easter over a month away, I wonder if can complete by Easter.
-MBack has been doing the Gospel of John and seems to contribute every 10 or so days.  Translating John runs the risk of being overwritten by MBack.  Perhaps we should carve up the other books between you, Douglas, Chris, me, and any others?  I'll ask TerryH to return from the Old Testament in the spirit of finishing the New Testament by Easter.--[[User:Aschlafly|Andy Schlafly]] 22:33, 3 March 2010 (EST)
-:That's a good idea. Just the Gospels is a huge accomplishment.  What division do you suggest? [[User:JacobB|JacobB]] 22:44, 3 March 2010 (EST)
-::It think every can just add wherever they like.  Perhaps less structure will mean more productivity.  Tomorrow I'll announce it on the front page (or you can, since you have privileges now to do so!).  I'll rouse TerryH also to return to the New Testament.--[[User:Aschlafly|Andy Schlafly]] 22:53, 3 March 2010 (EST)
-:::This is an excellent sort of challenge.  Leaving aside John for MBack (or we could contact him to prevent conflict), we should be able to translate an enormous amount, if not succeed at completion.  Personally, less structure seems like a good idea, as we can learn from other people's approaches and possibly get a bit of overlapping insight on difficult sections, rather than working alone.
