How can there be a debate when each time an article is created, it is filled with selective, out of context quotes and then locked? A debate requires that each side be allowed to contribute. Anything else is simply a staged show. --[[User:Mtur|Mtur]] 16:09, 2 April 2007 (EDT) | How can there be a debate when each time an article is created, it is filled with selective, out of context quotes and then locked?

Your requested feedback
Ed,
I took quite a bit of time to try to respond to your request for feeback. Unfortunately, it was all lost due to a computer snafu.
Here is the Reader's Digest version.
1. I suggest having User:Philip J. Rayment a Sysop so he can edit the page which will probably get protected as this page will likely be a edit war battlezone and the panel will decide its direction. He may know more about the history of the debate than I do.
2. I think you need more footnotes.
3. I don't think this page should become a Theory of evolution article. We already have one.
4. I am against a Aspects of evolution article as it seems by its title to assume that macroevolution occurred. Maybe its just a title problem.
5. I suggest reading these links and reading the WSJ article:

Here are some links which show that biblical creationism is growing around the world and gives some history of the debate:

- I'm sorry for your lost typing. It happens to me every once in a while, and it's terribly frustrating.
- Philip sounds like a good sysop choice.
- Footnotes have always been my weak spot, ever since 8th grade. *sigh* I gotta work on that.
- One ToE article is all we need. My suggestion is only to have a page where the debate itself is outlined. Or not. I'm an "easily led Christian". Just tell me what to do. By "aspects of evolution" I meant something else. I will explain at length later. I'm posting this before a computer glitch eats this long reply.

How can there be a debate?
How can there be a debate when each time an article is created, it is filled with selective, out of context quotes and then locked? A debate requires that each side be allowed to contribute. Anything else is simply a staged show. --Mtur 16:09, 2 April 2007 (EDT)
