Criticism of the Baha'i Faith
Well done! --Soundofmusicals (talk) 22:31, 24 February 2018 (UTC)
 * Thanks! By the way, seeing as you're an experience editor, if you have some spare time I was wondering if you could give me a second opinion on Pierre Nkurunziza. Do you think it is neutral enough to remove the neutrality tag? If not, what would you suggest should be done?

 * Had a quick look - looks reasonably neutral to me, but I'd need to know a good deal more than I do about the subject to give an answer that was worth very much, or suggest any constructive changes. Sorry not to be more helpful. --Soundofmusicals (talk) 03:12, 4 March 2018 (UTC)


 * Returning to the subject in the heading! Noting with interest your extensions to the "unity of religion" bit. Applaud your intention to make the article more balanced, but I suspect a lot of what we now have in this section really belongs in the "main article"(Bahá'í Faith and the unity of religion). Or even, dare I suggest, in the article on Universalism or Comparative religion. It is not necessarily "fairer" or "more balanced" to turn an encyclopedic article on one subject into an evaluative critique in terms of another. Even on our talk pages, this is not a debating club. Imagine if we intruded Baha'i theology into articles about Christianity or Islam! Best in the first instance for you to critically examine your own work here first in any case.

 * My intention was not to make the article more balanced... It was to add more information, flesh out the section and to crucially add more references. It seems to me, that ever since I made that one edit, removing slightly biased wording from the intro to that page, you seem to think I am out on an agenda against your religion. Yes, I strongly believe in NPOV, but unless I explicitly state that as the reason for my edit, my edits are not made with that sole intention. A lot of what is in that section do not belong in those pages you mentioned as these are specific criticisms to the Bahá'í view of universalism (which is sort of what that section is for). They are criticisms which overlap with another subject - but all criticisms of all faiths inevitably do. In fact there is a lot of overlap in articles in Wikipedia as a whole. Also not sure where you got the idea that my edit was made in the spirit of debating... I was simply adding information to the page. Finally I think it is fine to "[intrude] Baha'i theology into articles about Christianity or Islam" when it is suitable for those views to be added, particularly when those articles are the criticism pages of those religions. Followers of different religions and belief systems can and do criticise something differently to each other. Have a nice day. Hesnotblack (talk) 17:21, 25 April 2018 (UTC)
