First attempt[edit]

Please do not delete sections of text or valid links from Wikipedia articles. It is considered vandalism. If you would like to experiment, use the sandbox. Thank you. -- Jeff3000 (talk) 11:29, 3 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Following up - I adding some info at the top that can help figure out how to proceed. The article desperately needs more citations, not less! You may also be interested in Wikipedia:WikiProject Bahá'í Faith. Smkolins (talk) 11:19, 5 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry, but I disagree with your points, and given that it is well sourced, I will remove any censoring you are trying to impose. Regards, -- Jeff3000 (talk) 23:12, 26 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia has a policy of being not censored. Just because it is not convient for the audience you are trying to reach is not a good reason why factual data should not be in the article. For example, the image of Baha'u'llah is on the Baha'u'llah page even though Baha'is ask that it be removed. Similarly there are Depictions of Muhammad in the Muhammad page even though most Muslims would rather there not be. So even though Egyptians may not understand the Baha'i Faith and incorrectly label it a Israeili sect, does not allow for you to censor information. As I mentioned above, I will be watching the page carefully and making sure you do not censor any information. Regards, -- Jeff3000 (talk) 21:58, 4 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Agree strongly with Jeff3000 - censoring is certainly not the correct approach. Finding strongly sourced refutation of unsound arguments is a much better course of action. Similar work has been undertaken in other areas and deserves to be done wherever it occurs. But not through censoring. --Smkolins (talk) 02:29, 5 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
