Hello, I'm Binksternet. Wikipedia is written by people who have a wide diversity of opinions, but we try hard to make sure articles have a neutral point of view. Your recent edit to David Barton (author) seemed less than neutral and has been removed. If you think this was a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. Binksternet (talk) 00:37, 2 July 2020 (UTC)

The simple edit made on David Barton’s page removed descriptors that can only be viewed as biased and they changed the page from an accurate account into an opinion hit piece. I would imagine a group of editors as “diverse” and interested in intellectual honesty would see it beneficial to add Unfounded negative descriptors. It destroys any semblance of neutrality and is viewed as clear bias that hurts the process. David Barton’s page reads like a political hit piece. Is this the level of discourse wanted on Wikipedia? Or is fair, balanced and accurate editing more important? Historical-Account (talk) 00:56, 2 July 2020 (UTC)


 * Wikipedia is a mainstream encyclopedia. We call Young Earth Creationism pseudoscience. We call racists racists. We call unorthodox views unorthodox if that's how they are seen by reliable sources. Unlike you, I think it would be immoral to do otherwise. Doug Weller  talk 12:03, 2 July 2020 (UTC)
