gay marriage

I see you've made a lot of edits. Good job, it looks better. Unfortunately, any popular article in general, especially a controversial one, will have people on both sides trying to slant the article with "sources" to make their POV legitimate. Don't be afraid to use the View History function, compare versions and simply "undo" a previous edit. Good work! <tommy> (talk) 10:26, 13 September 2009 (UTC)

False statements?

If you're going to accuse another editor of lying you should provide an example. Furthermore, if you're going to remove material with strong academic sources you need a better reason then "it makes SSM look bad."

Fact: SSM was very uncommon in the ancient world. Most same-sex unions were temporary and pederastic. If you have reliable sources that say otherwise, then include them.

You use "homosexuality and the Bible" as a reference, and you claim I'm being biased? Spare me... - Linestarz (talk) 11:54, 13 September 2009 (UTC)

That wasn't me. You need to relax.Ragazz (talk) 11:58, 13 September 2009 (UTC)

HIV

Hi Linestarz,

I've no idea whether what you added to HIV is true, but I reverted your edit ([1]) as it was sourced to a book by Edward Hooper. You might like to check out Wikipedia's article on him to see why his book would not be considered a reliable source.

No problem, that's okay - Linestarz (talk) 08:59, 11 October 2009 (UTC)
