Continuous revelation
[edit]No problem. There's actually a couple Wikipedia policies that came into play with the shortening of the content. Wikipedia has a neutral point of view policy, and part of that policy is undue weight, which states that beliefs or ideas can only be mentioned in relation to the number of people who hold them. Given that there are around 6 million Baha'is, the Baha'i view on topics can't be included everywhere, and can and should not be as long as the Christian or Islamic view. The other important policy is verifiability, which states that content must be sourced, from non-self-published sources, which ideally would be secondary-sources.
