Hey, T...
...Welcome to Wikipedia. I think you'll find that you'll have better luck getting your edits to stick if you well cite your sources and try to make the edits consistent with the existing article. I understand if you want to "correct mistakes", but the people who put the "mistakes" there will resist and revert your edits unless you can convince enough other editors that your correction is better supported than their "mistakes". There is some naked bias that needs fixing, that's true. Intelligent design is quite biased in tone and content, and you'll never persuade the editors defending that POV that it is. So check that out and see what sticks (your edit decidedly will not stick) and then, if you're up for it, join the never-ending conversation on the talk page. Rot's o' ruck. 70.109.188.149 (talk) 01:18, 18 July 2014 (UTC)
