I have made a few alterations to the original. I had thought of writing such an article but it had drifted down my 'to-do' list. Hope my suggestions are OK. (Lyonnessite 11:12, 21 January 2006 (UTC))

Having made some more substantial edits I feel some justification is required: This entry is written in the same tone as the texts initially describing SRV. SRV has become so little understood - with many who argue about it having clearly not understood it, or simply arguing about damaging actions that have been said (unreasonably) to be based on SRV. Some (only some) of the causes of this are related to the history and personalities of those involved with SRV. Therefore I suggest that a Wikipedia entry is a good opportunity to increase understanding on all sides. As an initial step I have tried to put in some simpler language in the initial section (if only to change its tone so that it appears less like a standard text), and to begin a section about misconceptions. I hope that those who understand and support SRV do not incorrectly interpret this as a criticism of the language initially used. I'd also like to see a constructive section about the limitations of SRV. Such a section would best be written initially by people who support it, not those who have an anti-SRV agenda, as it might open up a route for more constructive discussion.
