Welcome to Wikipedia. I am confident you will make useful contributions to the project. The problem you have encountered is that of a disputed matter, on which some say: "A is B", and others say: "A is not B". Because of the Neutral Point of View policy, it is not permitted to make Wikipedia say simply: "A is B". On the other hand, it is perfectly correct to write: "Writer X holds that A is B", provided you give a verifiable source that shows that Writer X did in fact say that.

You will see that at the top of each article there is a tab marked "discussion". Click on that and you get to what is often called the "Talk page". There you can discuss your own opinions and point out weaknesses in the positions of others. You should of course be courteous, but you are quite free to declare there your personal point of view quite frankly and even forcefully. Lima 04:30, 18 May 2007 (UTC)
