→Addition to warnings about the game?
:::::::By the same logic, many would argue that an encyclopedia isn't "supposed to" promote one viewpoint over another...and thus, Conservapedia should not be pro-Christian. Such arguments strike me as disingenuous at best, when ''this'' encyclopedia makes it abundantly clear that it takes a definite position, and that the articles written here will reflect that position.

:::::::Daphnea: I see no reason that a well-written article on gun safety wouldn't be a welcome addition to the project. Certainly, parents should be aware if their children are handling firearms, and should be involved in ensuring that they know how to handle them safely and responsibly. Given that gun safety is a topic unto itself, and a fairly extensive one, I think perhaps a distinct article with a link would probably be better than just an addition to the main [[Gun]] article, but YMMV. The reason I think a brief warning is appropriate in the body of ''this'' article is because, frankly, D&D doesn't strike me as a topic of as much significance as guns, and "D&D safety" doesn't seem to merit its own article.
:::::::Honestly, folks: D&D seems to be a sacred cow to some people, and any criticism (however mild) prompts hyperbolic accusations. I personally think the current article does a pretty good job of striking a balance between those who think the game is wonderful and those who think it poses serious moral problems for Christians. If you genuinely think that a cautionary note to parents is outside the purview of this encyclopedia (not "an encyclopedia," but ''this specific'' encyclopedia,) we could ask a sysop for clarification. I'm willing to abide by whatever they say is appropriate. --[[User:Benp|Benp]] 22:53, 23 June 2008 (EDT)
