on your talk page and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions. Again, welcome! Doc Tropics 05:00, 3 December 2006 (UTC)
Evolution Edit
I have reverted your edit to Evolution. It is against Wikipedia policy to make such preliminary edits in articles (especially Feature Articles). In addition, I deeply disagree with the proposed section so you might want to take your case to the evolution talk page before writing a section that will be deleted right away. A more appropriate article for sections like that (and I'm pretty sure the topic of evolution as religion is already covered there) is Creation-evolution controversy.--Roland Deschain 02:58, 6 December 2006 (UTC)
- Also. You may want to make your proposed section in a separate page such as possibly something like User:DSG2/Draft. Drafts in mainspace are generally not good. JoshuaZ 03:01, 6 December 2006 (UTC)
- Yes! Please be more circumspect in adulterating articles with controversial or outlandish claims. Candy 08:21, 6 December 2006 (UTC)
- I've reverted this edit in so far as it is strongly POV and unsourced. I suggest you read the article on evolution and the article Creation-evolution controversy in detail before making any more edits on these topics. And please, whatever you do, read Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy. JoshuaZ 03:15, 8 December 2006 (UTC)
Wikipedia - an encyclopedia that anyone can edit. DSG2 03:17, 8 December 2006 (UTC)
- I'm not telling you you can't edit- I'm suggesting you read those things before making more edits. See the difference? JoshuaZ 03:18, 8 December 2006 (UTC)
