[edit] Marley influence on I Am Legend
I'm sorry you're frustrated about your Marley contribution, but the reason I removed it was that it appeared to be your analysis of the film, not that of a credible source, such as an established reviewer or even the film's director or producer. You even say, "I'd personally like to stress the significance of Bob Marley in the title," indicating it is your observation. As WP editors/contributors, we can only reference observations and analysis of reliable sources, and then we must cite then appropriately so others are able to verify them. Otherwise our contributions are considered original research, which is not allowed in WP.
If a credible Marley source can be found, it's inclusion in the article would likely fit in Development or a future Themes sections (you could even be the editor that starts the Themes section). I did a quick search, however, and any credible references to Marley influences or themes are slim to none (this doesn't count mentions in blogs, which are not considered credible sources). There is this one, but it doesn't offer much. Another one is more explicit, but not well-written. The Marley influence is fairly obvious (Neville's daughter is named Marley, even), but since there aren't many references in reviews, it doesn't yet appear significant enough to include in the article.
I hope this helps. Don't hesitate to check the Page History of the article and look for the revision that removed or changed your contribution. If the editor is worth her or his salt, an informative Edit Summary will at least give a hint as to the concern or issue. Let me know if you have any questions and please don't hestiate to ask for help in my Talk page. Welcome to Wikipedia, and Happy Editing!

[edit] Wikipedia and opinions
The reason your opinions and theories get deleted from Wikipedia is because all theories and opinions get deleted. That's not what Wikipedia is here for. Wikipedia is for verified facts that have been published elsewhere. - JasonAQuest (talk) 20:05, 19 January 2008 (UTC)
And like I said, it is a proven theory through sources that have been speculated in other titles relating to the subject in question. The way you're trying to hide your hate towards anti-christianity is pathetic.
