[edit] Merge to 1 Corinthians 11

Merge Seems to be the exact same subject since 1 Cor 11 is the only passage on headcoverings. Since 1 Cor 11 already contains several points of view, this would take care of the POV problem. --Ephilei 23:56, 17 July 2006 (UTC)

I actually did consider that; however, that would make the 1 Corinthians 11 article rather lopsided and non-neutral. Also, this is an article on why some cover, not everybody and their brother's view on it. That is treated on the 1 Corinthians 11 page. However, I can understand that this article may lack neutrality. --God's Webmaster 01:07, 23 July 2006 (UTC)

Sorry to take so long. 1 Corinthians 11 covers the three major views only - not everyone's view. Making this article NPOV would require repeating those views here - so either way. Wait! What are we talking about?! What information is there to merge? I've already merged what little there is to merge into 1 Corinthians 11#Universal view. However, if this article addressed more than just 1 Cor 11, say, the history of Christian headcoverings, then it could justify its own article. Would you like to add that? --Ephilei 23:50, 14 August 2006 (UTC)

Actually, that's why I was proposing merging this article with Veil, since it does have a history of veils. I would be willing to help update the Veil page to include more relevant information on Christian Headcoverings.--God's Webmaster 00:31, 21 August 2006 (UTC)

Well, there it is. A history of headcoverings and a more balanced viewpoint. Does that pass muster? I am dropping my proposal to merge this with Veil. God's Webmaster 01:39, 25 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Merge to Veil

I am proposing merging this information instead with the Veil article, since it has a section on the Christian headcovering.--God's Webmaster 22:43, 12 August 2006 (UTC)

There's little evidence that 1 Cor 11 is talking about a veil versus coverin the scalp. And regardless of what 1 Cor 11 actually says, very few Christians also interpret it to mean a veil.--Ephilei 23:50, 14 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Types and degrees of headcovering

Hi, all. I'm new to Wikipedia so please help me go in the right direction :)

I am myself a headcovering Christian, and I couldn't help but notice how minimal this article was. I was thinking of adding a paragraph on the types and degrees of headcovering. Do I just add it, or what? Thanks for helping me with my feebleness ;D

Sure, just add it by clicking the "edit this page" button at the top. It's a good idea to use the "show preview" button before submitting your additions if you aren't sure that everything will come out right. One note: Wikipedia is supposed to have a neutral point of view. You may find your writings marked if they are thought to be un-neutral (though I'm not saying that I personally will mark them.)
