Question about article
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Curse_and_mark_of_Cain

Should this be edited or contested in some way to replace all of the YHWH with God? I wasn't sure how religion fell into article guidelines as I'm sure they're a touchy subject.

 * It looks like it indeed could use some editing. There is a pretty good discussion going on the talk page about various aspects of the article, the Tetragrammaton however is not among them.  I don't think there is a style guide that indicates usage.  The God -> YHWH was done last August here by User:COGDEN (talk • contribs). It may not be a bad idea to first propose the change on the talk page, and perhaps drop a note to COGDEN (although his last edit was early Feb.) about it.  I do think using common language improves readiblity.  I've even feel comfortable changing YHWH -> God and then putting a note about the change on the talk page (it can always be reverted if there is some compelling reason for it).  In general, be bold, but as you noted, religion is a touchy subject.  I'll certainly add the page to my watchlist and participate in any discussion there, if need be.  Thanks, --TeaDrinker 19:33, 16 March 2006 (UTC)
