==List of groups referred to as cults== |

I've reverted your deletions from [[List of groups referred to as cults]] so that we can talk about them on the talk page. I beleive everything you deleted was sourced. The list has carefully-defined criteria, and if a group meets the criteria we include regardless of our own opinions.

==Edit to John de Gray== |

I appreciate trying to be more precise, but you broke the infobox. The fact that his election was quashed is explained in the text. I could possibly be incorporated in the infobox, just not in the fields, as trying to change those breaks the box. I'll attempt to change the actual statements in the box, so the box won't be broken.

== Please do not alter quotes == |

Hi, I appreciate your concern that Catholic priests not be falsely labeled as pedophiles however we do not censor and we don't alter quotes to suit our needs. We could provide a reliable source to show that no priest was involved in pedophilia to balance out those statements however. [[User talk:Benjiboi|Benjiboi]] 12:02, 28 January 2008 (UTC) |

:Dear Mamalujo, Benjiboi has been reported for his disruptive behaviour. Don't let him intimidate you - you are exactly right about the "quotes". And pay no attention to his last strange sentence. [[User:Str1977|Str1977]] [[User talk:Str1977|<sup>(talk)</sup>]] 17:01, 28 January 2008 (UTC) |

== [[Anno Mundi]] == |
|||
[[Image:Information.svg|25px]]Per various discussions on WP:MOS, please do not use Christian-specific dating in articles that are important to religions other than Christianity. Also, per various ArbCom discussions, changing an article which already has a distinct style to another one against consensus has been considered [[Wikipedia:Disruptive editing|disruptive]]. Thank you. -- [[User:Avraham|Avi]] ([[User talk:Avraham|talk]]) 16:37, 28 January 2008 (UTC) |

== Amanda Marcotte == |
|||
The reason I have twice removed the quotes is that their inclusion is biased. She is notable not only for her inflammatory statements, and even if she were, repeating only the most outrageous of them--i.e., those **selected and repeated by her critics**--places favor on those who criticised her. That's not to say that the quotes weren't rephrehensible, or that they were, but to use the majority of the article to repeat those statements of hers found most widely offensive, without any analysis, seems unfair. Placement bias is a bias like any other. And finally, an article that is mostly quotes isn't really the purview of wikipedia, as opposed to wikiquotes. |
|||
I do understand your argument--that wikipedia's mandate is to give the maximum amount of information in those fields which make people most notable--but I feel that it's invalidated in this case, in that none of her quotes were drawn from, e.g., the posts that convinced the Edwards campaign to hire her in the first place, or from other noteworthy posts she made. |
|||
I'd like to draw your attention to the [[Criticism_of_Tony_Blair]] article. Although it contains quite a lot of his positions that have been criticised, no section consists of simply a list of his statements others found offensive, in their most offensive form. |
|||
I won't revert again, because the version that is currently up is the one that predates me, and to stem off an edit war, but I invite you onto the [[Talk:Amanda_Marcotte|talk page]] to discuss this with me, and the user who made the original edit. If, as I suspect, we find ourselves unable to resolve the dispute shortly, I suggest we petition a mod for arbitration. |
|||
I'd like to mention at this point that I agree that this is a difficult and ambiguous case, and if anything I've said above is insulting or agressive, it wasn't meant to be. You know how it can be on the internet with energizing issues. |

Hello. Regarding your removal of sourced information from this article, please take conversation to the talk page. As policy sets out at [[Wikipedia:Consensus]], when someone reverts your change, the proper procedure is to discuss it. In respect to this particular proposed change, I've been waiting a reply since January 8th, and, if you continue to feel the information is inappropriate, I will be happy to discuss alternatives for handling that material with you there. --[[User:Moonriddengirl|Moonriddengirl]] <sup>[[User talk:Moonriddengirl|(talk)]]</sup> 13:49, 8 March 2008 (UTC) |

==Speedy deletion of [[:Godspy]]== |

[[Image:Nuvola apps important.svg|48px|left]] A tag has been placed on [[:Godspy]] requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under [[WP:CSD#A7|section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion]], because the article appears to be about a person or group of people, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the [[WP:CSD#Articles|criteria for speedy deletion]], articles that do not indicate the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please [[Wikipedia:Notability|see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable]], as well as our subject-specific [[Wikipedia:Notability (people)|notability guideline for biographies]]. |

Why don't you motivate your changes, that is not your private page. Mamioletto |

== Francisco Franco == |
|||
First, I like your edit regarding Opus Dei and the Franco administration. From what I've read, technocrats with ties to Opus Dei replaced the Fascist ideologues in Franco's administration and helped set Spain on course for the [[Spanish miracle]] and other improvements. I didn't intend for the previous version to portray Opus Dei negatively--and I don't think it did--but the version fleshes out Opus Dei's contributions better. |
|||
I made an edit removing the "Despite popular misconceptions Franco was not a Fascist" (paraphrase) part of your edit. I think this is POV and your citation just says that Franco was not a "core fascist," so the citation doesn't even support such a strong statement. The definition of fascism is pretty fungible, but the Wikipedia entry mentions a few core elements to fascism including nationalism and militarism. Franco was definitely a nationalist and a militarist, so he would meet this definition of Fascist. Franco also put himself in charge of the fascist Falange, used Fascist symbols (including the Nazi/Fascist salute), and allied himself with Nazis and Italian Fascists. That said, most accounts say that Franco avoided ideology and was more focused on getting and maintaining power rather than attaining an ideological goal. I think that Franco's relation to fascism is a complex issue and the current article does a decent of reflecting this. If you disagree, I think we should start a discussion on the article's talk page.--[[User:Bkwillwm|Bkwillwm]] ([[User talk:Bkwillwm|talk]]) 01:19, 20 June 2008 (UTC) |
