Today's MESSAGE for today's visitors:
 * "Targetting and tagging old and new Wikipedia articles for deletion may not imply a high level of tolerance for advancing science and art."


 * Be generous,
 * Be tolerant,
 * Delete less,
 * Preserve more,
 * Advance even more,
 * Let's not DELETE any more Wikipedia articles. 

What is TOLERANCE?
Toleration, also commonly known as tolerance, is "the practice of deliberately allowing or permitting a thing of which one disapproves. One can meaningfully speak of tolerating, ie of allowing or permitting, only if one is in a position to disallow”. It has also been defined as "to bear or endure" or "to nourish, sustain or preserve". Toleration may signify “no more than forbearance and the permission given by the adherents of a dominant religion for other religions to exist, even though the latter are looked on with disapproval as inferior, mistaken or harmful”.

Historically, most incidents and writings pertaining to toleration involve the conflict between a dominant or state religion and minority or dissenting viewpoints. In the twentieth century and after, analysis of the doctrine of toleration has been expanded to include political and ethnic groups, homosexuals and other minorities.

As reported in the Old Testament, the Persian king Cyrus the Great was believed to have released the Jews from captivity in 539-530 BC, and permitted their return to their homeland, now known as Israel.

The Hellenistic city of Alexandria, founded 331 BC, contained a large Jewish community which lived in peace with equivalently-sized Greek and Egyptian populations. According to Michael Walzer, the city provided "a useful example of what we might think of as the imperial version of multiculturalism."

Increasing Awareness on Neovandalism
The concept of neovandalism or regulated vandalism pertains to orchestrated efforts by old and new Wikipedia users or editors to delete unwanted articles or information in Wikipedia using highly regulated approaches including obtaining supports from administrators. Given high burden of work many editors or administrators may not be aware of being persuaded by such users.

Official doppelgänger of burntout123
User burntout1234 is the legitimate and fully disclosed doppelgänger of butntout123.

What is a Doppelgänger

 * A doppelgänger account is a second account created with a username similar to one's main account to prevent impersonation. Such accounts should not be used for editing. Doppelgänger accounts may be marked with the doppelganger or doppelganger-other tag (or simply redirected to the main account's userpage).

Legitimate Alternative Accounts

 * Except when doing so would defeat the purpose of having a legitimate alternative account, editors using alternative accounts should use provide links between the accounts. Links should ideally take the form of all three of the following:
 * Similarities in the username (for example, User:Example might have User:Example public or User:Example bot).
 * links on both the main and alternative account user pages, either informally or using the userbox templates made for the purpose. To link an alternative account to a main account, use the main account to tag any secondary accounts with (using the main account shows it's genuine) or  if the account is being used to maintain security on public computers. The main account may be marked with User Alt Acct Master.
 * links in the alternative account signature: if not linking to both the alternative and main account, link to the alternative account, and if necessary provide a note there requesting contact be made via the main account, or simply redirect the user talk page.
 * Editors who have multiple accounts for privacy reasons should consider notifying a checkuser or member of the arbitration committee if they believe editing will attract scrutiny. Editors who heavily edit controversial material, those who maintain single purpose accounts, as well as editors considering becoming an administrator are among the groups of editors who attract scrutiny even if their editing behavior itself is not problematic or only marginally so. Note that email is generally not considered a secure way of communication. Concerned editors may wish to log into Wikipedia's secure server then email the arbitration committee or any individual with checkuser rights through a secure connection to Wikipedia's computers.
 * Editors who have abandoned an account in order to edit under a new identity are required to comply with the clean start policy.
 * Editors who have abandoned an account in order to edit under a new identity are required to comply with the clean start policy.
