Edgar Allan Poe
Hello! You have added a couple categories to Edgar Allan Poe's article relating to Christianity. I had reverted those additions and explained why in the edit summary and on the discussion page. You added them again anyway so I reverted those additions again. Please do not re-add them unless you want to participate in the discussion first. Please see Talk:Edgar Allan Poe. Remember that Wikipedia is a community effort and we like to work together on things. Articles like Poe's which are at "Good Article" status are usually the ones that require the most careful considerations before additions are made. Anyway, welcome to Wikipedia and enjoy your time here. --Midnightdreary 14:10, 20 August 2007 (UTC)


 * Thanks for responding. So you are basically admitting that your adding of these categories is based on pure speculation or on original research ("like many other writers, he passed through an atheistic period" - that's purely speculative and probably not provable). That's certainly a no-no. If your best evidence is Poe's final words being "Lord, help my poor soul!" you certainly have more work to do: Poe probably never said those words (see Death of Edgar Allan Poe for the reliability of that source). The text of the main article really should include a discussion about religion if he is going to be categorized into religious categories. That discussion must be sourced with reliable sources. Stubborn or not, we're trying to make a solid encyclopedia article here. Keep adding it if you must, but I'll keep reverting it until there is solid evidence to make those additions appropriate. I'm not trying to be a pain, but it's worth reading the Wikipedia policies so you get a better understanding of some standard norms we follow here; check out some of the links on your talk page at the top. (By the way, don't forget to sign your comments. Thanks!) --Midnightdreary 17:40, 22 August 2007 (UTC)
