Welcome to Wikipedia. The recent edit you made to Complete Jewish Bible has been reverted, as it appears to be unconstructive. Use the sandbox for testing; if you believe the edit was constructive, ensure that you provide an informative edit summary. You may also wish to read the introduction to editing. Thank you. — neuro^(talk) 21:18, 11 October 2008 (UTC)

This is the only warning you will receive for your disruptive edits.
If you vandalize Wikipedia again, you will be blocked from editing. The next time you add false information into an article, you will be blocked. There is a checkuser case currently ongoing for you, it is blatant that the IP I warned earlier is yourself too, and as such I am giving you an only warning. — neuro^(talk) 21:43, 11 October 2008 (UTC)

As Jewish Anti-Missionary, it is my goal to ensure that when Jewish individuals, who lack a proper Jewish educational background, have a full understanding when reading these "Messianic Jewish" Wiki pages that these pages are Christian pages. They are not Jewish, nor is there any sort of Jewish movement that accepts Jesus as the Messiah. Period.

Friend -- I appreciate your need to defend the faith, but Wikipedia is a neutral reporting resource. Please take a look at my recent edits on the Messianic Judaism header. I've attempted to make clarifications covering your concern in a NEUTRAL way. Neutrality is the key. It's okay to bring your concerns to Wikipedia, but you cannot enforce a certain set of views. Neither mishttp://en.wikipedia.org/skins-1.5/common/images/button_bold.pngsionaries, nor anti-missionaries can obliterate information or promote other information simply because of preference. That being said, however, it's both healthy and good to have a specific interest. Hang around and get the hang of it. And if it gets too painful on a certain subject, just step back for a while and practice on subjects less touchy.SkyWriter (Tim) (talk) 01:33, 12 October 2008 (UTC)

Yeah, what SkyWriter said. If you still want to make such a change, you must attain consensus first. — neuro^(talk) 07:39, 12 October 2008 (UTC)

I think it might be helpful to change your thinking from "Anti-Missionary" to "Wikipedia Editor" -- at least while you're here. You cannot use Wikipedia to serve an Anti-Missionary (or Missionary) purpose. You have to judge your edits based on whether they serve a Wikipedia purpose.

SkyWriter, I would have to respectfully disagree with you here. The edits made, are accurate and truthful. Once again I refer back to Jewish people retaining ownership over Judaism. The idea of renaming the New Testament the Complete Jewish Bible, and adding Jewish flair to traditional Christian beliefs is deceptive at best and altogether wrong. Nowhere does any Jewish individual within the Jewish community ascribe to those beliefs. For centuries, Jews have viewed these beliefs in the raw Christian form as evident in this article by The Jewish Journal[1] KosherYid (talk) 21:43, 12 October 2008 (UTC)

I don't disagree with you that it is deceptive. I'm simply saying that there is a way to document things on Wikipedia, and you have to get the knack of it. My suggestion is to practice on articles that are less touchy for you until you get the hang of it. That's all. There is a spot for almost any kind of notable and verifiable information here -- but sometimes it isn't the exact spot you first identify. SkyWriter (Tim) (talk) 21:46, 12 October 2008 (UTC)

KosherYid, you are exactly the kind of editor that Wikipedia needs - an editor who is not afraid to be bold and actually change major article content. All you need to do is get community consensus before you carry out your actions. — neuro^(talk) 21:55, 12 October 2008 (UTC)
