Two things occur to me in response to the message you left on my talk page. 1. You didn't leave an edit summary leading me to think it was just petty vandalism. I apologise for reverting your good faith edit, but I was doing RC patrol and removal of an image from an article without leaving an edit summary appears to be vandalism. 2. it would be nice if you yourself could assume good faith. I made a mistake, I am prepared to admit that and quite happy to apologise. It happens occasionally on RC patrol, some good faith edits appear to be vandalism. However in the future you might want to consider just notifying me of my mistake so I can rectify it rather than leaving a note on my talk page demanding an apology. Good luck, have fun and if you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask me. Viridae Talk 11:37, 14 August 2006 (UTC)

Sdasdf, perhaps it would be a good idea to open a discussion about the map on the Talk page of the Abrahamic Faiths article. On the face of it the map, originally added by Dbachmann in April, doesn't appear inaccurate. It could be used to mislead people with a poor knowledge of demographics into an erroneously inflated estimate of the influence of the Abrahamic religions (partly I suppose because the area dominated by the Dharmic religions is high in population density and hence takes up a smaller fraction of the map than the corresponding fraction of the population). On the other hand, it could just be a guide to the regions of the world dominated by the two major faith groups. If you think that a different map would be better, you could design one, or suggest improvements in the Talk page. To delete it with a brief edit summary implying it is deliberate propaganda seems brusque. Give us the benefit of your education in this field, in the Talk page.
