Welcome to Wikipedia, and thank you for your contributions. One of the core policies of Wikipedia is that articles should always be written from a neutral point of view. A contribution you made to Timeline of evolution appears to carry a non-neutral point of view, and your edit may have been changed or reverted to correct the problem. Please remember to observe this important core policy. Thank you. &#124; Uncle Milty  &#124;  talk  &#124;  01:35, 7 August 2010 (UTC)

Your edits to Timeline of evolution

 * 1) The "see also" hat note is for subjects that the reader might confuse for the article in question.  Someone might be looking for the timeline of human evolution rather than of evolution in general.  The hat note is there to let them know that they might want to read the more specific article.  The page WP:HATNOTE states "Hatnotes are short notes placed at the top of an article (hence the name "hat"), normally to provide links to other similarly named articles or disambiguation pages."  It is unlikely that someone who is looking for an article on creationism is going to search for "Timeline of evolution", so there is no need to mention it in the hat note.
 * 2) It is also unnecessary to make statements "warning" the reader about who considers evolution to be a "scientific fact" or a "belief", especially in the introductory paragraph.  Disputes about evolution are covered in articles like Creation–evolution controversy and Objections to evolution.  Furthermore, you did not provide any reliable sources substantiating your claims that "many scientists want the disclaimer to read that this is a "belief" by some, and not pure science."  ...  disco spinster   talk  03:42, 7 August 2010 (UTC)
