I've edited a few before but this one's the first I've ever created. Nothing fancy and pretty short... :
Ecumenical Apologetics - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I feel like a kid whose just solved Rubik's Cube. Woo Hoo :p

Excellent! Good going!

(Have Wondergirl give you editing tips regarding the punctuation for a more polished look.)

RickJ · Jan 29, 2008, 12:31 PM

Thanks. It's good to know who the expert is. Clearly mine is plain-jane :o

Wondergirl, if you see this feel free to edit the article... then I'll study the code to see what you did :)

Wondergirl is the best. I'll tell her.

I wonder too if there is a wysiwyg editor that could be used. I do see mention of external editors but it's all french to me. I'll have to do some more reading.

RickJ · Jan 29, 2008, 01:15 PM

Well, I found the answer. It's no: "Presently there is no available 'ready-to-go' package for incorporating full WYSIWYG into the MediaWiki software."

Good job Rick. Well written.

Great Job Rick. I don't know how to edit WIKI, but I can tell you were the punctuation oopisies are, LOL

Congrats, does this mean you are officially published now?

Nice job Rick... I've never been able to do that Rubiks cube!!

RickJ · Jan 30, 2008, 06:08 AM

Haha, yes I'm published now :)

Now here's a funny story: I started using that term back in 1999-2000 thinking it had not been used before. My goal was to put a twist on the two ideas/movements of Apologetics and Ecumenism.

I really presumed that I just made it up, but later found that Fr. Benedict M. Ashley used it about the same time in his book.

About 5 years ago there were only about 20 search engine hits for the term... now there are over 1300 :)

... so maybe in a dictionary of the future it's definition will include "Coined by either Rick J or Fr. Fr. Benedict M. Ashley"

... so maybe Andy Warhol was right :p

... It will be interesting to see how, if and by whom the entry gets edited.
