A note on my usage of Wikipedia: I do not typically make edits myself. It is my normal mode to post messages on discussion pages stating my position for changing the article, and allow the community to decide the merit of that position and/or make suggested changes. I may also occasionally add standard wikipedia headers to articles as needed.

A note on my writing style in general: when writing about topics involving politics, religion, philosophy or their kin, I intentionally do not capitalize anything other than the names of real(not mythological or possibly mythological) human beings, place names, or names of periods/ other anthropologically or scientifically derived terms. I use CE and BCE. I capitalize Shakespeare, the Edo Period, Mesopotamia, Vatican City, etc. I do not capitalize: names of movements or political parties(libertarian, feminist), mythological or folkloric persons even if they may have been real (jesus, william wallace) the names of deities, beliefs/rituals or prophets of any religion or the names of religious faiths/sects(zeus, the trinity, abraham, hindu), philosophical concepts/ideas(natural law, anarchism), and the like. I recognize it is not proper English , but it serves the purpose of maintaining a tone of equality and neutrality when discussing such topics that cannot be empirically "proven". If a word/name of this sort is used in a context not involving its legitimacy, it will be capitalized as normal.Moonlightfox (talk) 01:03, 17 January 2008 (UTC)
