Hello, I'm Nick Levine. Wikipedia is written by people who have a wide diversity of opinions, but we try hard to make sure articles have a neutral point of view. Your recent edit to Intelligent design movement seemed less than neutral and has been removed. If you think this was a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. Nick Levine (talk) 06:49, 14 March 2023 (UTC)


 * Hello Nick Levine,
 * I am Tim Reiter, a certified science teacher. I have extensively researched the concept of, and evidence for (and against) the theory of intelligent design. I follow the scientific method, objective evidence, and logic. I edited the Intelligent Design Movement entry because it referred to Intelligent Design as
 * "neo-creationist religious campaign for broad social, academic and political change to promote and support the pseudoscientific idea of intelligent design... driven by a small group of proponents."
 * Your reply to me was the following: "...we try hard to make sure articles have a neutral point of view. Your recent edit to Intelligent design movement seemed less than neutral and has been removed."
 * The passage from the entry quoted above is certainly not neutral. The author of this definition of intelligent design is very biased, uninformed and inaccurate. I added no text, but deleted any misleading terms in the first paragraph only. I removed
 * "neo-creationist religious, pseudoscientific" and "...driven by a small group of proponents.".
 * As an informed reader, I know that none of those terms or phrases are accurate or neutral. My edits were appropriate, restored a semblance of neutrality to the first paragraph, and I stand by them.
 * Respectfully and Sincerely,
 * Mr. Timothy C. Reiter 96.74.205.35 (talk) 08:10, 14 March 2023 (UTC)


 * Mr. Reiter, I have to inform you that you either abide by WP:PSCI or you'll be site banned. tgeorgescu (talk) 08:23, 14 March 2023 (UTC)


 * To tgeorgescu: Is this Nick Levine? If not, please MYOB. I was very respectful.
 * Why do you resort to threats? 96.74.205.35 (talk) 08:37, 14 March 2023 (UTC)


 * About MYOB: what happens at Wikipedia is also my own business. Wikipedia is an Omnipticon, and everybody watches everybody else.
 * It was not a threat, it is a statement of fact from me, because I know very well the WP:RULES of Wikipedia and the consequences for violating these rules. The same as a lawyer knows very well the laws from their own country. tgeorgescu (talk) 09:08, 14 March 2023 (UTC)
 * My reply was to Nick Levine. You are not Nick Levine. You are not a lawyer,
 * and WP is not a country. I tried to fix mistakes, but apparently if you cite
 * inaccuracies, its acceptable. I'm sorry you are afraid of ID (intelligent discussion)
 * and prefer bullying because you think you are superior. El Fin! 96.74.205.35 (talk) 09:44, 14 March 2023 (UTC)
 * Having your POV not touted by Britannica is not a violation of human rights.


 * Having your POV not touted by Larousse is not a violation of human rights.


 * Having your POV not touted by Wikipedia is not a violation of human rights.


 * If your edit gets deleted because the Ivy League finds it is rubbish, it is not discrimination, and it is nothing personal.


 * Wikipedia is crowdsourced, while Britannica and Larousse aren't. That's the only difference. For the rest all three have the same ideals and values.




 * You were violating our WP:RULES. Do you understand that? Even the Friedrichshof Commune had rules, why do people find strange that Wikipedia has rules?


 * Learning the above from me is the easy way. If you reject these and want to learn the hard way, be my guest.


 * And, yup, some purposes in life are simply put unattainable. We have to live with that. tgeorgescu (talk) 14:21, 14 March 2023 (UTC)
