[edit] Hello, I'm Tgeorgescu. Wikipedia is written by people who have a wide diversity of opinions, but we try hard to make sure articles have a neutral point of view. Your recent edit to Historical reliability of the Gospels seemed less than neutral and has been removed. If you think this was a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. tgeorgescu (talk) 08:00, 5 August 2022 (UTC)
- Hi, I only picked this up. I can't remember what edit I made, but I can't see where I was 'less than neutral' The question was about whether the NT in its entirety is a 'primary source' in the historical sense. It clearly isn't, that's a matter of fact. I suspect what has happened is an equivocation error. The article says 'primary source' and links the article on 'primary sources', and when you read that it's very clear that the ET in its entirety doesn't qualify. Remove the link, it's better, but I think what's happened is that someone has used 'primary source' in the sense of 'most important source' and someone later has added the link, or the original author added the link not quite knowing what the article linked said. I can't see at all how trying to stick to the historical definition of 'primary source' is 'less than neutral'. In fact, I'd think it very neutral. Bobn2 (talk) 15:46, 13 April 2023 (UTC)
