Census of Quirinius[edit]

I posted this after you post in Quirinius Talk and wanted to make sure you read it.
____________________________
Agree with most of your points. The problem is finding someone who will cut the bad stuff out of the article and whip it into shape in a fair and neutral manner. The non-Christians are so intent on ensuring that "everyone" knows that the Bible is crap (and therefore want to make sure the lede says so) and the Christians are intent on ensuring that the Wiki narrative stays absolutely faithful to the Biblical account. So random editors come in, add and subtract as they see fit and you are left with what we have and no one with an interest in really improving the page has time to follow it through. IMO, this is true with many Bible pages on Wikipedia where the (predominantly) secular editors war against the Biblical ones and concensus is hard to gain without ticking off one party or the other.

That being said, you seem to have both a (passing) interest in the subject as well as knowledge in writing techniques and methods - you don't need to know the subject in depth to be able to honestly read through it, correct obvious mistakes, and cut out the chaff. Think about it. Yours - Ckruschke (talk) 20:40, 31 December 2012 (UTC)Ckruschke[reply]
