Thanks, but no thanks.
If you think my addition to the talk section on "Abortion and Religion" wasn't focused on improving the article, then you didn't read it. Start at the end if you have to. I was making a point by framing it personally, and this was, after all, a TALK page.


 * Talk pages are not free-for-alls. They fall under wikipedia rules just like article pages.  They are there to improve the article -- not for POV pushing, original research, or letters to other wikipedians.

Read the whole thing before you delete it again.

Nothing except etiquette, by the way, stops me from taking a hatchet to the whole article and rewriting from my own perspective, as others apparently do routinely. But I asked politely first.


 * No, I'd prevent you from taking a hatchet to the whole article and adding in POV, as would others who watch the page.

I saw your edits, too, Quasipalm.


 * Are you suggesting I added POV to the article? It's all clearly sourced -- please feel free to add what POV I added and let me know -- we can discuss it on the talk page.

In case it hadn't occurred to you, this issue is way bigger than just Mark, or you, or me. Most of the letters in the New Testament were written in the same style I wrote that section - personally. Would you have deleted them as well? Would all of the NT epistles not survive your opinion of what contributes positively to a discussion? Make sure you have an answer for yourself, before you delete it again.


 * Yes, I would. If Jesus himself wrote POV, meandering, original research letters in Wikipedia, I would remove them.

Peace and love to you as well.


 * Thanks. Good luck to you. -Quasipalm 18:40, 16 April 2006 (UTC)
