I am starting to get seriously offended by John254's preaching and sermons to the editors of Wikipedia on these talk pages. Is there some way I can view my watchlist without being subjected to his lengthy and self-righteous epistles?

I note that it has already been suggested that he "might enjoy making [his] contributions through the Christianity WikiProject" [1], but I'm very worried about children and minors coming across his unfounded and unreferenced claims regarding the feelings and sensibilities of a "significant portion of [Wikipedia] readers", about which he apparently knows so little. --Nigelj 20:40, 10 July 2006 (UTC)

Nigelj's statement "about which he apparently knows so little" is a personal attack. Please see Wikipedia:No personal attacks. Additionally, I believe that my comments on article talk pages have been legitimately related to content decisions, and that Nigelj's characterization of such comments as "preaching and sermons" is false. From Sermon: "A sermon is an oration by a prophet or member of the clergy. Sermons address a Biblical, theological, or religious topic, usually expounding on a type of belief or law." To my knowledge, nothing I have posted to talk pages is even remotely close to a sermon. Alternatively, if the words "preaching", "sermons", and "epistles" are used in a metaphoric sense, then Nigelj's selection of these particular words in describing my comments appears to be an implicit personal attack against me, based on the religious beliefs that WCityMike has ascribed to me [2]. From Wikipedia:No personal attacks: "There is no excuse for personal attacks on other contributors. Please do not make them."

Furthermore, in regards to Nigelj's claim that I have made "unfounded and unreferenced claims regarding the feelings and sensibilities of a 'significant portion of [Wikipedia] readers'" I would observe that article talk pages are often used to debate inherently subjective editorial questions as to which most claims are necessarily unreferenced. Please note that Wikipedia:Verifiability only "determine[s] the type and quality of material that is acceptable in the main namespace". John254 05:19, 11 July 2006 (UTC)

This is the talk page for the article Vulva. Please take personal disputes elsewhere. Nigelj, if you have a problem with John254, it would be a good idea to contact him on his own talk page. And John254, if you have a problem with Nigelj, you may do the same. If there is a serious issue regarding personal attacks and/or POV that needs to be resolved, a good place to take it would be WP:ANI. Thanks, romarin [talk ] 17:28, 11 July 2006 (UTC)
