Looks like you need to be aware of WP:3RR William M. Connolley (talk) 20:41, 1 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Noted. Thanks.  To the point of my edit, why does Wiki want to bias the list by describing the scientists on it as out of the mainstream?Battleship23 (talk) 21:01, 1 October 2008 (UTC)


 * Also, what are you trying to accomplish by breaking the link in the William M. Gray article? —C.Fred (talk) 20:44, 1 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Sorry, didn't mean to break the link. That was not my intention.  I'm brand new to this today and am working to learn all of the protocol.  Just trying to remove what I preceive to be bias in the characterization of the scientists on the list. Battleship23 (talk) 21:00, 1 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Then you should start at the article, not at Gray. Be aware that the page has reams of discussion; your suggested change just won't work William M. Connolley (talk) 21:02, 1 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Will do.Battleship23 (talk) 21:49, 1 October 2008 (UTC)
 * (edit conflict) You may want to take a look at the talk page (and any archives) of that list. Generally, with articles with contentious names, the name has been hashed out over time as a compromise. —C.Fred (talk) 21:03, 1 October 2008 (UTC)
 * I see that now. Thanks.Battleship23 (talk) 21:49, 1 October 2008 (UTC)
