Hello, I'm Ben Ben. Wikipedia is written by people who have a wide diversity of opinions, but we try hard to make sure articles have a neutral point of view. Your recent edit to Birth control seemed less than neutral to me, so I removed it for now. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. Ben Ben (talk) 13:08, 21 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Refs

A number of refs you have added are not reliable including http://www.catholic.org/prwire/ and youtube.

Birth Control Religion

Dear Doc James,

You wrote,

"A number of refs you have added are not reliable including http://www.catholic.org/prwire/ and youtube."

yet you did not just delete sentences referencing those sources, instead you deleted the whole post. Could you explain why you deleted comments from the Pope please. I also noted that the second half of the second sentence has no citation, but you did not delete that. Is there a reason why you deleted the citation needed (which by the way I did not post) but deleted everything I wrote? Thanks — Preceding unsigned comment added byVerbumDomini (talk • contribs) 02:25, 24 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Sure. The other reason I removed the rest was that the main article is for a simple overview. We give each religion only a line or two. You can add to the subpage if you wish. Ref added.

Dear Doc James,

I'm going to delete the second part of the second sentence, because in Roman Catholicism, religious views (which is the heading) are defined by the Church. Catholicism is not a democracy. If you want to create a subpage for Catholic behavior, go ahead. Nothing in your first citation showed that Catholics as you write "accept" modern contraception.

Wikipedia defines a reliable religious source as:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Reliable_source_examples#Religious_sources

The textbook and other source you cited do not meet these specifications.

It is referenced thus restored. Feel free to discuss on the talk page. Doc James (talk · contribs · email) (if I write on your page reply on mine) 03:05, 24 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

It's sources do not meet Wikipedia's criteria of a reliable source for a religious view thus deleted. Please explain why you are not using a reliable source in concordance with what Wikipedia defines?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Reliable_source_examples#Religious_sources

These are both proper secondary sources and reliably support the content in question. Feel free to ask for further input if you wish. Doc James (talk · contribs · email) (if I write on your page reply on mine) 03:11, 24 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Edit warring

Please be careful about repeatedly making the same change to articles. Edit warring is strictly frowned on here, and reverting someone else's change more than 3 times, in whole or in part, is grounds for temporary blocking. Thanks. --SarekOfVulcan (talk) 03:11, 24 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, I'm Jim1138. I noticed that you recently removed some content from Birth control without explaining why. In the future, it would be helpful to others if you described your changes to Wikipedia with an edit summary. If this was a mistake, don't worry, the removed content has been restored. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks, Jim1138 (talk) 03:11, 24 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Your recent edits

Hello. In case you didn't know, when you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion, you should sign your posts by typing four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment. You could also click on the signature button or located above the edit window. This will automatically insert a signature with your username or IP address and the time you posted the comment. This information is useful because other editors will be able to tell who said what, and when they said it. Thank you. --SineBot (talk) 03:33, 24 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Off-wiki action

Thank you for retracting your comment here. Using off-wiki means to influence content discussions is very much a no-no. --SarekOfVulcan (talk) 04:56, 24 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
