Discuss on talk page
Hi David,

I would like to see you join the discussion on the talk page at Bible codes. I know you have attempted to add some information and I've reverted you...not because the information isn't >>potentially<< relevant, but because it was presented in a way that appeared to be a "promotion" of a specific book, a book that is not before-the-fact notable in the context of the topic. On wikipedia this is referred to as "spamming" and is vigorously opposed. What you need is some third-party validation or discussion of the "extended ELS" technique. What does (for example) Harold Gans think? Have any other codes reseachers commented?

These are the criteria needed to establish this as notable, independent of the book's publication.

Thanks WNDL42 (talk) 13:14, 20 March 2008 (UTC)

Dhammapada addition
You say "The reverted material was not "compiled by yourself," but rather was compiled by referencing only those verses of the Dhammapada that appear in the Excerpts section of the Wikipedia article. In that process, no Dhammapada verses were added or deleted. The source of each verse of Solomon was fully documented by a footnote citing which book and verse of Solomon's writings was quoted, and which translation of the Bible was the source of that translation." That is exactly what we mean by "original research" - please read WP:NOR carefully. You need sources meeting our criteria at WP:RS. Dougweller (talk) 18:16, 5 August 2014 (UTC)
