[edit] Battle Cry (organization)
Hi. Please read WP:NPOV which describes Wikipedia's "neutral point of view" policy. If you read Talk:Battle Cry (organization), you'll see that people who both agree with and oppose Battle Cry have contributed to the article, and after some work, the article has settled down into a form that's reasonably acceptable to all sides. On Wikipedia, this is done by paring the article down to verifiable facts with sources, and using neutral language. Your changes were a bit one-sided, so I backed them out. You're welcome to add more to the article, but please try to maintain the neutral point of view. Thanks.
It's tough doing this on religious subjects. But it can be done; see the Abortion article. --John Nagle 08:17, 2 May 2006 (UTC)
- WorldChanger - You keep up doing your edits as you please, within reasonable NPOV guidelines, under The Five Pillars. Controversial subjects, especially articles on religious organizations, tend to draw a lot of detractors and suspicious outsiders, who feel it is their duty to "neutralize" the article, which really means to twist it towards their personal POV, regardless of the "truth" of the matter, under the cover of NPOV. I reviewed your edits carefully, and for the most part they seem just fine to me. Mr. Nagle blanket reverted your edits, regardless of their quality, based on the fact that you appeared to be a "new" user. He ignored some of your factual additions - eg: it is called the "THE TEENAGE BILL OF RIGHTS", [1] not just the more restrictive "Battle Cry Teen Bill of Rights" as implied in Nagle's reversion. Keep up the good work, and Be Bold! - that is Wikipedia policy. --T-dot 11:36, 2 May 2006 (UTC)
