In particular please note Wikipedia:Manual_of_Style/Capital_letters#Religions, deities, philosophies, doctrines and their adherents. There are also other subtleties like emphasizing sources from scholars commenting on subjects rather than using primary sources. Smkolins (talk) 02:30, 22 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

And note that the Bahá'u'lláh article is a mature article having been previous granted a "good article", a "GA-Class" and a "vital article" and as such is watched carefully. This in no way means that it can't be improved - but it has been through many hands and a consensus approves of it's overall form. Consulting on major changes to the article will bring a needed quality to it's growth in quality as it is needed from multiple points of view - the very nature of a wiki as it were - rather than interesting development of the age, no? Please use the talk page of the article. As a new editor you may well have new ideas about improving the article but also not understand why things are the way they are. Improving the understanding of things will leverage your effectiveness in other articles you may well wish to work on as well. Smkolins (talk) 15:48, 22 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

December 2016[edit]

Please do not add commentary or your own personal analysis to Wikipedia articles, as you did to Jehovah's Witnesses. Doing so violates Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy and breaches the formal tone expected in an encyclopedia. Thank you. General Ization ^Talk 04:54, 1 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
