I did not Vandalize the Unification Church Page
Why did you revert my work on the Unification Church page? It was not vandalism. I have years of experience with the Unification Church. The article was so slanted the way it was. Almost pure Unification Church propaganda. My edits were good. The article needs much more balance to it and that is what I did in a very clearest way I could. Please restore my edits or at least tell me which ones were not appropriate. Right now I'm feeling very discouraged with Misplaced Pages's ability to be fair and unbiased. - User:Marknw
I see also you rolled back my edits on the Divine Principle Page. Are all edits to the Unification Church material forbidden?
Misplaced Pages is not a soapbox
Misplaced Pages is not a soapbox or a vehicle for propaganda and advertising. Therefore, Misplaced Pages articles are not:
Propaganda or advocacy of any kind. Of course, an article can report objectively about such things, as long as an attempt is made to approach a neutral point of view. You might wish to go to Usenet or start a blog if you want to convince people of the merits of your favorite views. You can also use Wikinfo which promotes a "sympathetic point of view" for every article. Misplaced Pages was not made for opinion, it was made for fact. Self-promotion. You are free to write about yourself or projects you have a strong personal involvement in. However, do remember that the standards for encyclopedic articles apply to such pages just like any other, including the requirement to maintain a neutral point of view, which is difficult when writing about yourself. Creating overly abundant links and references to autobiographical articles is unacceptable. See Misplaced Pages:Autobiography, Misplaced Pages:Vanity, and Misplaced Pages:Notability. Advertising. Articles about companies and products are acceptable if they are written in an objective and unbiased style. Furthermore, all article topics must be third-party verifiable, so articles about very small "garage" or local companies are not likely to be acceptable. External links to commercial organizations are acceptable if they can serve to identify major corporations associated with a topic (see finishing school for an example). Please note Misplaced Pages does not endorse any businesses and it does not set up affiliate programs. See also WP:CORP for a proposal on corporate notability.
Misplaced Pages is not censored
Misplaced Pages may contain content that some readers consider objectionable or offensive. Anyone reading Misplaced Pages can edit an article and the changes are displayed instantaneously without any checking to ensure appropriateness, so Misplaced Pages cannot guarantee that articles or images are tasteful to all users or adhere to specific social or religious norms or requirements. While obviously inappropriate content (such as an irrelevant link to a shock site) is usually removed immediately, some articles may include objectionable text, images, or links if they are relevant to the content (such as the article about pornography) and provided they do not violate any of our existing policies (especially Neutral point of view), nor the law of the U.S. state of Florida, where Misplaced Pages's servers are hosted.
- KI, you posted a notice that user:Marknw was vandalising articles about the Unification Church. None of the material that I see counts as vandalism (Misplaced Pages:Vandalism). Can you please give specific diffs poinitng to the vandalism? I do see unexplained reverts by you, which are not good either. Please try to discuss the changes with each other. -Will Beback 20:18, 3 June 2006 (UTC)
