[edit] de:Walter Veith

Discussion on th german side about neutrality. For the german Seventh-day Adventist it is reported, that he has speech prohibition--- jlorenz1 09:03, 17 April 2007 (UTC) heard that too.... —Preceding unsigned comment added by 85.127.221.30 (talk) 12:02, 10 October 2007 (UTC)

Its not exactly SPEECH prohibition, but a prohibition to invite him to church inern meetings, according to the german article , he is still invited in interconfesional meetings not directly assosiated with the sevent day adventis church. Also , it says that this was decided because of controversies about the proper usage of certain bible translations ......( i will improve this when i have time )

[edit] Neutrality and the external links

Disclaimer: I'm not all that experienced a Wikipedia user, and I tend to avoid getting involved in disputes, so I'm not sure of what the proper response to this page should be. I had actually hoped that a Wikipedia administrator had noticed the "advert" tag I previously added, and provided some guidance.

Anyway, my gut feeling is that this article is 100% created by people associated with the subject of the article, and nothing else, and that is not suitable for Wikipedia. There are no independent references, no critical statements, no alternative points of view. And the long list of "external references" was just a catalog of all of the web pages directly associated with the subject of the article. (A reference to one web page that happened to link to all of the others would be OK, in my opinion, but not this list of links.)

I may be wrong. If someone wishes to dispute my opinion, I would welcome invoking the Wikipedia process where a "third opinion" is requested. --RenniePet (talk) 20:06, 14 December 2007 (UTC)
