Hello, I'm C.Fred. 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 Historical Jesus seemed less than neutral to me, so I removed it for now. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks, —C.Fred (talk) 03:45, 1 August 2012 (UTC)


 * Just a quick touch-up: it's a majority of sources and not a majority of editors per se. But if the majority of sources and majority of editors are aligned... WhisperToMe (talk) 07:02, 4 August 2012 (UTC)
 * To clarify that, although reviewing the available sources is part of reaching consensus, Wikipedia policy also comes into play. Consensus isn't a first-past-the-post vote, but ultimately it requires agreement from a significant number of involved editors that the sources present the most accurate picture and best comply with policy. —C.Fred (talk) 12:16, 4 August 2012 (UTC)
 * While Wikipedia editors decide consensus in general, NPOV states clearly: "Keep in mind that, in determining proper weight, we consider a viewpoint's prevalence in reliable sources, not its prevalence among Wikipedia editors or the general public." (I added the bolding) - Jimbo Wales's 2003 statement on viewpoints and how they should be put in Wikipedia is in mind too WhisperToMe (talk) 12:48, 4 August 2012 (UTC)
