You did an amazing job, and I could not sit idly by and see your article penalized for that reason. Thank you for inviting me to help.

Hey Afaprof01, thanks for working on the Christian article. Just a note (not meaning to talk down to someone who's been here longer than I have) but when I see edits like this removing sourced content without an explanation why, it's hard to figure if you're just removing it (and what your reasons might be) or if you're working on the article and plan to add it back later. Edit summaries are the grease that helps prevent friction and miscommunication, so here's a friendly reminder to use them more often. Thanks :)

P.S. - I'm still not sure I understand why the Religious Tolerance stuff deserves to be in this article (especially since it's a bit North-American-centric) but I appreciate the effort you put into re-working it so it wouldn't be plagiarism any more. Thanks.


 * Joren, I appreciate your nice note and polite critique. While I personally disagree that the original Religious Tolerance stuff constituted plagiarism since it was credited to the source, your challenge did bring to light the dead link of which I was unaware, and also inspired some more work on the section.


 * Re: North-American-centric and undeserving. I hope we can agree to disagree. If you go back in the article's Talk page history, you will find that about a year ago there was considerable discussion and 3RR's over several sections. The Religious Tolerance section came through several "trials by fire" and ultimately reached consensus. I firmly believe the issues they raise are very germane to the topic, although I haven't been able to find much in the literature. Thanks again. ─AFA Prof01 (talk) 21:38, 9 November 2010 (UTC)


 * Maybe you are thinking of a different talk page? I wasn't able to see the discussion from a year ago (I did search the archives at Talk:Christian) but I did see some discussion on the talk page from two months ago that seemed to show consensus was against keeping it.  It's not that I disagree with the points made.  It is a rather good summary of the state of things as far as the lack of consensus on what a Christian is.  I just question their standing as a reliable source -- see their credentials and consider that this is a self-published project by a non-authority in the field -- and I wonder if we couldn't do better as an encyclopedia, and perhaps find a more global perspective of it while we're at it.
 * As far as the plagiarism stuff, my own perspective is mostly informed by WP:COPYPASTE. It has to be clearly marked as a quote.  I tried to do that with my last edit, but I still worry that the quote is too extensive.  Thank you for your reply, and I hope that even if we disagree on the value of this particular source, we can perhaps find an even better one that makes the points needed in this article.

Hi, I'm looking for a reviewer for New Testament Christian Churches of America, a small church whose main RS turned up largely negative information on them. I noticed that you're one of the only currently active reviewers in this area, so I hoped you'd help. Cheers (: BE——Critical __Talk 21:52, 20 November 2010 (UTC)
