Thanks for restoring the official links that you restored; I guess I wasn't paying enough attention when I deleted them. Nyttend 18:32, 16 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Abaddon

Using CARM to point out the JW's point of view is like quoting a militant Islamist website as a reference on Buddhist doctrine. No fundamentalist protestant doctrine is provided by that CARM link except for "the JWs are wrong." As for the links supposedly being one sided, fundamentalist protestant view have been provided, (see the links in the line "Some bible scholars believe him to be the antichrist or Satan."). These links are the source material for the fundamentalist protestant view, just like watchtower articles and Charles Taze Russell's writings are the source of the JW beliefs. The link to CARM ultimately does not contribute anything to the article anymore than a link to JW site quoting Matthew Henry and saying "that's wrong." I know darn well I don't own the article but I am not going to allow anyone to allow JWs and fundies to use the article for petty arguing over tertiary adiaphora. If we allow the links with fundies saying "the JWs are wrong," we have to allow JW links saying "the protestants are wrong" to keep the articles from being one sided. It is easier to just all views as advocated by the original sources. Ian.thomson (talk) 16:31, 21 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Re: Joplin Walmart

I can appreciate that you had a personal experiences, but personal experience is not a reliable source on Wikipedia.

Regardless, the point is moot, I have removed the sentences from the article because they go into speculation about whether different roof construction would have led to fewer fatalities, which isn't directly supported by the sources. -RunningOnBrains^(talk) 16:29, 1 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
