I would also suggest that any user who attempts to bypass any reasonable dispute resolution process, and instead chooses to waste the panel's time by getting you to fight their battles for them, should be censured, up to and including permanent blocking if necessary.

==Request for specific change to [[Theory of Evolution]]==
 +
1. The sentence which now reads
 +
:The theory of evolution was published by naturalist [[Darwin, Charles|Charles Darwin]] in his book ''[[The Origin of Species|On The Origin of Species by Means of Natural Selection or The Preservation of Favored Races in the Struggle for Life]]'', in 1859.<ref>http://www.answersingenesis.org/creation/v26/i2/brainchild.asp</ref>
 +
 +
should be changed to:
 +
:The theory of evolution was published by naturalist [[Darwin, Charles|Charles Darwin]] in his book ''[[The Origin of Species|On The Origin of Species by Means of Natural Selection or The Preservation of Favored Races in the Struggle for Life]]'', in 1859.<ref>Darwin, Charles (1859),[http://www.gutenberg.org/dirs/etext99/otoos610.txt The Origin of Species], Project Gutenberg online text</ref> How much credit Darwin actually deserves for the theory is disputed.<ref>http://www.answersingenesis.org/creation/v26/i2/brainchild.asp</ref>
 +
 +
The footnote follow the mention of the book ought to lead to the book itself, not to some other topic. Conversely, the reference to an article challenging Darwin's originality should be placed after a sentence about Darwin's originality or lack thereof.
 +
 +
2. A link to an online version of ''The Origin of Species'' should be restored to the list of recommended reading, as it should ''always'' be recommended that people read the original sources for important scientific theories. [[User:Dpbsmith|Dpbsmith]] 08:29, 16 April 2007 (EDT)
