Hello and welcome to Conservapedia! I think that some of the material you deleted as opinion was factual. I have replaced that material along with references. Thank you for your contributions! ~ SharonS 17:27, 21 February 2007 (EST)

If I did that, it was entirely unintentional, and I am glad you put it back. Can you tell me which entry I mistakenly deleted facts from? Also thank you for the welcome. -Reginod

Sir Isaac Newton was certainly a Christian, so I added a reference for that. I also put back the direct quote in Descent of Man along with a more neutral version of the last sentence. ~ SharonS 17:35, 21 February 2007 (EST)

Never mind, I see the replacement you made. Very interesting, I had no idea about Newton—I’m going to put that he said he was inspired by God since we have no way of knowing whether or not he was actually inspired by God (and that was my original concern, since I didn’t know the rest about Newton and there was no citation, I just took the whole sentence out)

I couldn’t figure out how to make the last sentence neutral, and without it the quote seemed out of place. Sorry if I got over eager—just trying to help.

Good point about Newton. Your edit to the Descent of Man was fine. I just thought it would be alright with the last sentence reworded. ~ SharonS

Warning, Reginod: you are deleting too much useful information. I also notice many rollbacks associated with your entries. As a new contributor, you not be deleting so much information by others. Add citations rather than deleting factual info. If this continues, then you will be temporarily blocked to give you an opportunity to read more before you make changes.--Aschlafly 09:12, 22 February 2007 (EST)

I apologize for my earlier over-enthusiasm. I did not intend to delete information—I was simply trying to clear out opinion and make sure the article read cleanly after my edits. I think I’ve stopped that—but if you are concerned that I’m still doing that, please let me know (and, if you would be so kind as to point to specific examples so I can be sure to not make the same mistakes twice, I would appreciate it. I also take it that part of the problem is that I am/have been deleting quotations lacking the citation that the site’s rules call for—is there some way I should handle this other than deletion, can I flag posts or what? Again, thank you for putting up with my sincere, if occasionally clumsy, enthusiasm for this site. -Reginod

Thanks for your thoughtful reply. You can add something to information such as "reference needed" without deleting the information.--Aschlafly 10:28, 22 February 2007 (EST)
Reginod, I'm not sure who added the gossip about Newton being a "confirmed bachelor," but such gossip is contrary to our rules. I deleted it.--Aschlafly 11:16, 5 March 2007 (EST)
I left the “confirmed bachelor” part in—I had no reason to believe or disbelieve—but I did not add it, I’m not much interested in such gossip, but I must admit, it doesn’t bother me either—I’ll try to keep the rule against gossip in mind when editing and try to delete it when I see it. -- Reginod
For what it is worth (http://www.conservapedia.com/index.php?title=Sir_Isaac_Newton&diff=18420&oldid=16258) it looks like the line was added by the user "RightOn" on 2/23/07. -Reginod
Thanks much. I think RightOn has been blocked for a much more inappropriate entry.--Aschlafly 13:08, 5 March 2007 (EST)
