Temple Institute
I had to tone down many of the edits you made to this article. The basic problem is that you rewrote it to reflect a pro-Temple Institute perspective and to present Temple Institute positions and claims as fact and to remove references to these claims being controversial. Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy requires that articles be written from a neutral perspective presenting each of the major views on controversial matters without endorsing any as fact. For this reason, the article cannot endorse the Temple Institute's position on a variety of disputed matters such as whether it is a mitzvah to rebuild the Temple in the absence of a moshiach, whether it is permissable to ascend the Temple Mount in current circumstances, and other matters. Moreover, the Undue weight policy requires Wikipedia articles to identify majority and minority views and not to give undue weight to minority views. The Temple Institute's view on a number of matters is, correctly or not, currently a minority view. The article, while it can of course present the views of its subject, does need to indicate the cases where these represent minority views. Best, --Shirahadasha (talk) 22:42, 15 June 2008 (UTC)
