Hi BTR,
The Executive of St Michaels had one of its regular meetings last night and have asked if I can convey the following request:
That the picture and text regarding Scot's Church that is on the St Michaels and Francis Macnab entries be removed by you and we will remove the FM/ST M's material on the Scot's entry.
I have explained that Wiki is public domain and the entry is not owned by the particular entity referred to....
If this is not possible as an alternative could we have reference to the address of 5th October and the new 10 commandments first on the ST M and FM sites and then the response of Scot's session after it?

- Hi Sdmc13,
- Just as St. Michael's doesn't own it's article, neither do I own any of them. I think the best place to discuss this would be the talk page of the article about Francis Macnab. I'll copy your comments there and reply to them, seeking input from other editors too. User:Blarneytherinosaur gabby? 06:45, 28 October 2008 (UTC)
I've been wondering how much coverage we should have about the 10 Commandments issue. Yesterday I raised the question of how much should be at Scots' Church, Melbourne. Now we are asked to consider how much should remain here and at St Michael's Uniting Church, Melbourne.
I suggest that:
Should time permit, I intend to make mock-ups of how I propose that the articles would appear and post links here for comment.
I further note that if these changes should be made, it should not be seen as an indication that the subjects of articles are able to control the content of Wikipedia articles. Blarneytherinosaur gabby? 07:08, 28 October 2008 (UTC)

Responding to a request for input at Wikipedia:Australian Wikipedians' notice board...
Perception of COI disclaimer - I'm much closer in theology to Scots' than St. Michael's. Peter Ballard ( talk) 01:22, 29 October 2008 (UTC)
I've cut quite a bit from the actual Scots' article. Not sure whether to leave the text of the sign in the article or not. Blarneytherinosaur gabby? 03:48, 29 October 2008 (UTC)
I've also cut the St Michael's article quite a lot, including the new commandments in a reference, and doing the same with the Scots' response (though the text of latter could be removed from the refrerence). Blarneytherinosaur gabby? 04:11, 29 October 2008 (UTC)
Now I've done a revision of this article. It is significantly shorter, but covers all of the material included originally but in 454 words (with his new 10 Commandments in the notes) instead of 1177 words.
The St Michael's article has 5 paragraphs: 1 stating the original statement, 1 on the published responses from within the UC, 1 of the motion moved by the Synod of Vic & Tas about removing the ads, 1 on the Scots' response (since it is across the road and typical of most criticism), and the summary of Dr Macnab's response with his new commandments in the notes (though they could be in the text if we decide to do so). 352 words in place of the original 1177.
The Scots' article only notes the original statement from Dr Macnab, Scots' response, and the summary of the 5 October statement remains. 344 words in place of the original 901.
Are there further suggestions for changes? Blarneytherinosaur gabby? 05:01, 29 October 2008 (UTC)
I would prefer to have Dr Macnab's new commandments in the text on the ST M and FM articles as blarney suggests and but am happy to keep the Scots version in the reference or as a link. Sdmc13 ( talk) 05:28, 29 October 2008 (UTC)
I have added a photo of the banner re the 10 Commandments for comment. I will photoshop it in the next day or 2
For those interested in viewing my mockup:
A suggestion if detailed mention in one article is preferred, why not a new article "The New Faith" which FM. ST M and Scots could refer to as a link or in the footnotes.
Then the pictures and references of each others Churches could be removed from each article. Sdmc13 ( talk) 06:05, 30 October 2008 (UTC)
