Reversion of text
I was wondering if you had a reason for the reversion. I know that I am new to editing, and realise now that I should have noted the change as an opinion (after all the original reads better). Coralhue (talk) 04:41, 22 November 2009 (UTC)
 * Hello and welcome to wikipedia. Firstly, I apologise for not including an edit summary along with my change - it's always a good idea to note why changes are made, especially when they are not obvious from context.  Your change involved two components;  firstly substituting the words 'anti-Christian' for 'irreverent', and secondly adding your signature to the bottom of the page.  It was the latter part that was the target of my reversion - who changed what is visible in the edit history, changes to articles do not need to be signed.
 * I only gave cursory thought to which of 'irreverent' and 'anti-Christian' was the most relevant attribute of the character to include in a brief summary. He is 'anti-Christian', but only in that he is 'conservative', wishing to retain the ways of his old gods - he'd be anti-anything-new-thankyou-very-much-I-like-thing-just-as-they-are.  Your chosen term implies a more specific character trait than the character has.  'Orthodox' is possibly the most literally correct word, but widely misunderstood to be a religious term - in, I suppose the same way that 'irreverent' is strictly speaking 'anti-religious-authoritarian' but widely used to mean just 'anti-authoritarian' (Merlin's not strictly 'anti-authoritarian' - he's essentially a despot for goodness' sake).  Anyway, I gave up at this point as work beckoned and hit the revert button, for which I apologise - by all means change the wording back if you're convinced by anti-Christian. - TB (talk) 10:55, 22 November 2009 (UTC)

Hello. In case you didn't know, when you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion, you should sign your posts by typing four tildes ( &#126;&#126;&#126;&#126; ) at the end of your comment.
