February 2008

Please do not add content without citing reliable sources, as you did to The Way of the Master. Before making potentially controversial edits, it is recommended that you discuss them first on the article's talk page. If you are familiar with Wikipedia:Citing sources please take this opportunity to add your reference to the article. Contact me if you need assistance adding references. Thank you.

I added no content, so no source was needed --Walkingcod (talk) 02:00, 15 February 2008 (UTC)

Yes you did: here you reinserted the unsourced sentence "In January 2006, the organization expanded its ministry to radio with a daily two-hour talk show, Way of the Master Radio."

Please do not delete content from pages on Wikipedia, as you did to David Barton, without explaining the reason for the removal in the edit summary. Unexplained removal of content does not appear constructive, and your edit has been reverted. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox for test edits. Thank you.

I did not delete content, just moved it for the purpose of maintaning a Neutral point of view which is a fundamental Wikipedia principle. NPOV is absolute and non-negotiable especially for biographies of living people.--Walkingcod (talk) 02:00, 15 February 2008 (UTC)

Your moves had nothing to do with "maintaning[sic] a Neutral point of view". Please read WP:LEAD: "The lead should be able to stand alone as a concise overview of the article. It should establish context, summarize the most important points, explain why the subject is interesting or notable, and briefly describe its notable controversies, if there are any." [My emphasis] That Barton's work has been widely criticised and widely described as pseudohistory is a "notable controversy". Also his affiliation with the Providence Foundation is neither a "publication" nor a "criticism" but a biographical fact -- so belongs in the biography section.

Most of your contributions about David Barton appear to be destructive. If you have an axe to grind against him, I sugest you do it in a blog.--Walkingcod (talk) 02:00, 15 February 2008 (UTC)

That Barton's work has been widely described as pseudohistory is a verifiable fact. If you don't like wikipedia policy, then you're welcome to find yourself another wiki. Hrafn^Talk_Stalk 02:28, 15 February 2008 (UTC)

Please don't worry about this message. I have completed the attribution and transferred the file to Wikimedia Commons. On that note, you can always use files from Commons over here too, because Commons is the central file repository for all Wikipedia projects. Just link the file from Commons as you would do with an image that is hosted here at Wikipedia. Regards, De728631 (talk) 14:55, 17 July 2013 (UTC)
