→The use of the Time Magazine reference: The misattribution, how it is a misattribution, why it again defies commandment #1 and what I'll do about it
:: No offence Tmtoulouse, but it is a disservice to our readers when an article makes an unattributable statement. Particularly an extreme statement, i.e. ''scientology is heavily criticized for brainwashing'' and not support the statement. It defies Commandment #1, [[The_Conservapedia_Commandments]] to ignore the situation. I understand that you think the article is fine now, but I disagree.

:::: How can I present this to you gently, Tmtoulouse? Your user page states that you hold 2 educational degrees. I don't doubt for a minute that anyone who holds 2 educational degrees has written many papers and in those papers, has substantiated his creation with attributions, with references for the statements within the created articles. But here you just edited to produce:
* "....and has been labeled by a Justice of the High Court of London as "corrupt, sinister and dangerous." [http://www.time.com/time/magazine/article/0,9171,972865,00.html ''Time'' Magazine link] That article does not mention any Justice of London, it does not mention the High Court of London, it does not quote any lawyer saying "corrupt, sinister and dangerous." Using the standards you present here, I could say the moon is made of green cheese and quote the ''Time'' article. How can I present this to you gently, Tmtoulouse ? I am going to go ahead and remove the unattributed line. Please, when you reference, use a reference that applies to the attributed data. [[User:Terryeo|Terryeo]] 14:17, 20 March 2007 (EDT)
