[edit] Before we start an edit war

I made some minor changes. They were undone with no comment. I'm willing to believe that there is a very good reason my changes were bad. Please, someone explain it here. Pending that explanation I've put them back. My reasoning is that the link did not appear to have any content, and that without reference for any of them it did not make sense to separate the estimated numbers that way. --Alynna 23:29, 18 August 2007 (UTC)

No edit war intended. I will look for references and will refrain from making any further edits until I can provide references. Thank you. --Lanternix 00:45, 19 August 2007 (UTC)
Okay, cool. I may have been over-inclined to expect one in a religion article. Thanks for the reference-looking. --Alynna 03:19, 19 August 2007 (UTC)

I agree.
Even if those numbers are true, then that would contradict what you were saying.

...what is 100% - 80%? You don't have to have my level of math to know that one! ~ Troy (talk) 22:44, 18 November 2007 (UTC)
