Welcome to Misplaced Pages, and thank you for your contributions. One of the core policies of Misplaced Pages is that articles should always be written from a neutral point of view. It appears you have not followed this policy at Intelligent Design. Please always observe our core policies. GSlicer (t • c) 00:12, 2 September 2007 (UTC)

Please note that sections of Misplaced Pages's Neutral Point of View policy that apply directly to intelligent design related articles are:

• NPOV: Pseudoscience
• NPOV: Undue weight
• NPOV: Making necessary assumptions
• NPOV: Giving "equal validity".

Hope you find that helpful, .. dave souza, talk 07:04, 2 September 2007 (UTC)

Speedy deletion of Intelligence Preparation of the Battlefield

A tag has been placed on Intelligence Preparation of the Battlefield requesting that it be speedily deleted from Misplaced Pages. This has been done under section A1 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a very short article providing little or no context to the reader. Please see Misplaced Pages:Stub for our minimum information standards for short articles. Also please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources that verify their content.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the article's talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would would render it more in conformance with Misplaced Pages's policies and guidelines.

February 2008 edits

Please do not add commentary or your own personal analysis to Misplaced Pages articles, as you did to political positions of Barack Obama. Doing so violates Misplaced Pages's neutral point of view policy and breaches the formal tone expected in an encyclopedia. Thank you. · jersyko talk 22:52, 12 February 2008 (UTC)

Please do not add commentary or your own personal analysis to Misplaced Pages articles, as you did to Jihad. Doing so violates Misplaced Pages's neutral point of view policy and breaches the formal tone expected in an encyclopedia. Thank you. ITAQALLAH 13:22, 21 February 2008 (UTC)

Everything I submitted regarding Jihad was factual, relevant, and well sourced. It is outrageous that you do not consider the Umdat al-Salik to be an authoritative source on Islamic jurisprudence. Even the Misplaced Pages entries for the Umdat al-Salik and for Shafi`i, which pages have both been fairly stable and non-controversial entries for several years, put this source in a most high position. Please explain why this source does not meet Misplaced Pages's standards for citation.Jwbaumann (talk) 07:01, 13 April 2009 (UTC)

Since no response has been offered in 3 months time, I will consider this criticism to be unfounded and retracted. I will continue to provide relevant, factual, and well sourced edits in the future. Jwbaumann (talk) 05:47, 14 July 2009 (UTC)

Final warning

I see from this page you have already been warned several times to avoid putting personal commentary into articles. I see it has not stopped you. This is your final warning - if you do it again, you will be blocked. Raul654 (talk) 01:47, 4 September 2008 (UTC)

My addition indicated that the big bang, speciation, and dinosaur behavior were neither observable nor repeatable. Is this factually incorrect? Is it irrelevant to a discussion of the nature of science? Or does it not fit comfortably with the POV that evolution theory is truth? I fail to see how a relevant, factual statement is a violation of the TOS. Please explain.Jwbaumann (talk) 06:21, 13 April 2009 (UTC)

The absence of any response tells me that this criticism was meritless. I will continue to offer relevant, factual edits as opportunities arise.Jwbaumann (talk) 18:50, 16 October 2009 (UTC)

July 2009

Please stop adding unreferenced controversial biographical content to articles or any other Misplaced Pages page, as you did at Barack Obama. Content of this nature could be regarded as defamatory and is in violation of Misplaced Pages policy. If you continue, you will be blocked from editing Misplaced Pages. DKqwerty (talk) 05:42, 14 July 2009 (UTC)

What in the hell are you talking about? The point of my edit was that there ARE no official references to Obama's birth location. Note that the above criticism is both unfounded and unsigned. Jwbaumann (talk) 05:37, 14 July 2009 (UTC) And boom, now the above is signed.Jwbaumann (talk) 05:54, 14 July 2009 (UTC)

Disruptive editing

I am blocking you for 24 hours for disruptive editing. You are welcome to appeal the block, which is your chance to see if another admin thinks it is fair. A whole series of editors and admins have given you warning above about adding obvious personal opinion into articles but you persist . I have gone through several pages of your edits and you come close to qualifying for an indefinite block as a Vandal only account. Please consider the objections people make and listen. You will become a better editor when you do so. --BozMo talk 16:30, 25 November 2009 (UTC)
