This is a bogus copyright infringment claim. The author is Brian Flemming who I think posted this. The infringement claim is an advertisement for his movie. What is really happening here is that Christians are taking over Wikipedia and trying to block anything that doesn't agree with their narrow twisted view of the world. The did the same thing with my [Church of Reality] web site as well as Universialists. It's a form of electronic book burning. I'm beginning to wonder if we should start boycotting this site? --Marcperkel 19:36, 31 July 2005 (UTC)

I did not write or edit this Wikipedia entry, but I DID write the plot summary in question. I am the director/producer of the movie The God Who Wasn't There and made a plot summary available free to all here. This plot summary was used, in part, by Microcinema, IMDb, Wikipedia and other sites. (Wikipedia also quoted some promotional text, but that text was put in quotes, appropriately indicating that that is how the film was marketed.) Additionally, this Wikipedia entry contains other material unique to Wikipedia. I strongly suspect the attempts to delete this entry are ideologically motivated, but, motivation aside, they are also entirely unwarranted. I request that the administrators re-activate this page and allow the Wikipedia community to edit it if there are improvements to be made. I freely gave the text in question to the public domain. This can be confirmed by contacting me through the film's official site. --BrianFlemming 19:49, 31 July 2005 (UTC)

The guy who censored you is Doc Glasgow who is a raving theist. There's no doubt in my mind this is vandalism. He also seems to have failed to put a link back from the copyright violation page like he was supposed to. I had to dig through the page history to find who did it.--Marcperkel 19:58, 31 July 2005 (UTC)

Is this kind of vandalism allowed here, or will Doc Glasgow be reprimanded in some way? --BrianFlemming 20:07, 31 July 2005 (UTC)
