I'm fairly new to editing on Wiki pages still. I can see how my edit of Bible violated the NPOV policy.


 * No problem. I think anytime we refer to a book as a "religious text," it's already implicit in that description that the text will mean different things to different people, and as such, it's unnecessary to label any of them explicitly as fiction. The same goes generally speaking; while it's considered WP:POV to say something like "Joe Smith is regarded as a bad guy," it would be acceptible to say "Notable TV Pundit Mike Jones stated in April of 2006 that he thought Joe Smith was a bad guy, but talk show host Mary Johnson said in May of 2006 that Smith was a true hero." In other words, it's OK for an encyclopedia to report the opinions of notable people and groups, but not OK for the encyclopedia to state an opinion as fact. You get the idea....thanks for understanding! OhNo itsJamie  Talk 21:49, 18 November 2006 (UTC)
