moved paragraph in "Textual criticism"
Hello. I wanted to let you know that I moved your recent addition to the article Textual criticism to what I felt was a more relevant section. Here's why. Your paragraph deals (I think appropriately) with theological issues pertaining specifically to Christian scripture. The article as a whole, however, is not about the New Testament; there is a separate article for that: Novum Testamentum Graece. I often link to the Textual criticism article when I write about subjects in classical antiquity for which readings of the source texts are at issue in interpreting historical or literary evidence. So I see the need for the article to present an overview (per Wiki guidelines) -- that is, the basic 'mechanical' processes of textual criticism apart its application to scriptural exegesis. People may be coming to the article looking also to understand vexed readings in fragmentary Latin histories or Romeo and Juliet. Those first three paragraphs of general intro make no mention of sacred texts or religion -- correctly so, since the article is about a process applicable to Shakespeare or Plato too. Please know that I respect the integrity and value of your content, and I may not have placed your paragraph to best advantage within the New Testament section; you may wish to find a better place for it there. It's just that the intro needs to remain general and capacious. Cynwolfe (talk) 13:32, 24 March 2009 (UTC)


 * Thanks for your nice response. Sometimes people can be touchy about these things, which is why I may have over-explained the edit. As I said, I'm still not sure I placed your paragraph to best advantage. Cynwolfe (talk) 00:10, 1 May 2009 (UTC)
