A summary of some important site policies and guidelines

Also, in an academic context, a myth is any sacred story where the truth value is found in philosophy, metaphysics, or some similarly ephemeral form -- with no comment for or against historicity. This is why C.S. Lewis referred to the story of Jesus as a myth that is also true.

Your recent editing history at Tower of Babel shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war. To resolve the content dispute, please do not revert or change the edits of others when you are reverted. Instead of reverting, please use the talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. The best practice at this stage is to discuss, not edit-war. See BRD for how this is done. If discussions reach an impasse, you can then post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.

Being involved in an edit war can result in your being blocked from editing—especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring—even if you don't violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.

Given that you recently became an editor, and the people reverting your edits are highly experienced editors, best you assume that you do not yet understand how Wikipedia works. I suggest you stop trying to edit Tower of Babel. David notMD (talk) 10:19, 3 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Verifiability

[edit]

Our policy deals with the ability to check sources, read WP:VERIFY. It doesn't mean what you think it means. Doug Weller talk 05:20, 2 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
