| | '''REPLY''' Obviously a name like "antichrist" would be usefull information. It would say that the user was against christianity. I am saying that in this case the username is not very usefull, and clearly not an example of bias. What do you think are the views of harry potter readers? do you have any reason to believe that readers of Harry Potter generaly share the same views? What makes you think that this user ''isn't'' a daily Bible reader? Are you saying that most readers of Harry Potter are under the age of 16? Are you saying that people under 16 are not capable of being editors. Anyone who wants to know the facts about Wikipedia editors can look on Wikipedia itself. This is an unsubstantiated attack on an editor because of his username. If Wikipedia started attacking Conservapedia in a similar manner you would be up in arms about it. You would post it on the list of examples of Wikipedia Bias. --[[User:TimSvendsen|TimSvendsen]] 23:38, 29 January 2007 (EST) | | '''REPLY''' Obviously a name like "antichrist" would be usefull information.

| − | '''FURTHER REPLY''' Many, perhaps most, Harry Potter fans are under 16 years old. And if an adult editor is naming himself after a silly Harry Potter figure, then that is also worth knowing. If an editor deleting pages on Wikipedia called himself "Winnie the Pooh" or the "Easter Bunny" then that would raise some concerns. Does Wikipedia have an age limit on editors? Does Wikipedia have a requirement that editors be informed, or be objective, or even take their responsibilities seriously? It is startling that an editor having power to delete entire entries in Wikipedia names himself after a silly Harry Potter figure. By the way, I do doubt that editor has an informed understanding of the Bible, and I also doubt he even cares. --[[User:Aschlafly|Aschlafly]] 02:39, 30 January 2007 (EST) | + | '''FURTHER REPLY''' Many Harry Potter fans are under 12 years old.
