Check again:[1] This is valid and referenced information. It's fact, it's not an opinion nor a personal attack. You just deleted the sections and replaced them with christianity-related comments which represented a clear point of view, not a fact.--Orthologist 13:31, 23 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Recent edits

I concur with the above. Your edits may seem perfectly reasonable from your point of view, but they have no place on Wikipedia. We aim for neutral points of view and verifiable information. It is neither neutral nor verifiable to claim that Hinn is a faithful servant of God who deserves the blessings he has received.

If you do not care for the restrictions of Wikipedia, you are welcome to convey this information in an appropriate venue. But it does not belong in this encyclopedia. Phiwum 15:45, 23 March 2007 (UTC)

== conversation==I hope this is how to leave you a reply. I am new to this and want to learn. My understanding is that Wikipedia's policies and non libel, non negative material about a living person, no personal details and no personal attacks. The article had these items in them and I believed I was following policy. If not, forgive me. GODS VESSELS 2:09 23 March,2007

Yeah, hi, God's Vessel. You inserted material which is theological in context in the article. This might not sound offensive to you, but is your point of view, and might offend readers. Also, I think you must have misunderstood the policies. Policy states that personal attacks are prohibited, but this means that the article itself mustn't be libelous. It just mentioned some criticism about the person that had been expressed by others, not editors. For instance, if an article reads "Person X sucks", this is a personal attack. However, if it reads "Person Y claimed that X sucks", this is perfectly aceptable. Regarding negative material, well, we can't remove it. If a person did something bad, for example Adolf Hitler, we must keep the negative information as long as it's fact and verifiable. Lastly, Wikipedia policies don't state that personal details do not belong in articles; on the contrary, it encourages editors to make article more detailed, as long as the details do not infringe copyrights and have been released to the public. Hope that helps.Orthologist 19:15, 23 March 2007 (UTC)
