Hi, welcome to Misplaced Pages. I've reverted most of your edits on the Larry Darby page since they either did not conform to Misplaced Pages's neutral point of view policy or were not sourced to reliable sources. Per the Misplaced Pages's policy regarding biographies of living people, all potentially negative information which is not reliably sourced must be removed immediately. I am not aware of any reliable source that documents Darby's disavowal of atheism although it seems to be discussed on multiple blogs and other non-reliable websites (including the one you cited which seemed to be too close to a blog to cite for this purpose). If you are aware of any reliable source where this disavowal has been mentioned, we can cite it there. JoshuaZ 03:43, 30 January 2007 (UTC)

Larry Darby is the author of the article at Mathaba. He speaks with first-hand knowledge of the Atheist Law Center and Disavowed Atheism! You can't get more reliable than that, my friend. You posted anti-Gentilist propaganda, such as the link to the Jewish hate group, ADL. --BopBeBop

Bop, a few things. First, I suggest that you familiarize yourself with basic Misplaced Pages policies such as WP:NPOV and WP:RS. Second, I strongly suggest that you read WP:VANDAL and not call edits with which you disagree vandalism. Third, I suggest you be careful of the three revert rule and fourth I suggest that you bring up any specific issues you have on the talk page(such as possible objection to the ADL as a source) rather than edit war over them. Now, regarding the Mathaba piece- I am aware that it claims to be from Darby. However, we have no guarantee of that and the website seems to have minimal editorial oversight and contact and is therefore not a reliable source (that is, we have little reason to believe that the claim there is in fact Darby). Since a major change in his religious attitudes is potentially negative we cannot put that in without a more reliable source. JoshuaZ 05:13, 30 January 2007 (UTC)
Also, please don't mark non-minor edits as minor. In particular, minor edits should be used only for things like spelling and grammar corrections. Thanks. JoshuaZ 05:17, 30 January 2007 (UTC)
