[edit] Faggot (epithet)
Regarding your edit to Faggot (epithet), thanks. I seem to have over-reverted. Good catch. -Harmil 00:50, 24 March 2007 (UTC)
Your recent edit (reversion) noted an "edit war"... uh, what edit war? Seriously, there's one editor who injected his own take on homosexuality, complete with biblical quotes, and was reverted by three separate editors (of which I was only the first), and subsequently has stopped. He's since been trying to make his case on the talk page. That's fine and good, but that doesn't (nor should it) bring improvements to the article to a halt. What's more, you described the image as "controversial." I'm not sure how that could be the case. Are you suggesting that the image either doesn't contain relevant subject matter (the word "fag") or that it's not illustrating the section to which it's been added (the intro)? Frankly, I was shocked in my search through Commons to find that there was actually a decent image that fit the article so well. Now, if you think the image isn't relevant or seeks to introduce a point of view, then please feel free to bring that up in more detail, but I've been editing Faggot (epithet) for years now (I was, for example, the one who found the literary link to the Harlem renaissance), and I didn't think I had to stop just because someone tried to insert a Bible quote. -Harmil 16:26, 28 March 2007 (UTC)
