Importance

Ste4k wrote: My questions about importance have not been satisfied. In fact they haven't even been discussed. Please use this dicussion page to come to a mutually agreeable understanding on what basis this article claims to have any importance. This article was up for debate today, and appears to have been rushed through without allowing for an adequate number of people to have the opportunity to review it. You may have had discussions about this article before, but Misplaced Pages has many new users join the effort each day and they should have the opportunity to discuss the fundemental reasons for having an article in the first place. I have read the additions since I originally applied the tag, and they are insufficient as well as unilaterally addressed. I don't see any reason to make a big issue out of this, however. Please respectfully and mutually discuss this issue before removing the importance tag. I am sure if someone can answer my concerns, that there will be ample reason for me to remove it, myself. Thanks!

Importance " Widely debated, source of a lawsuit "

Three hours in the middle of the night is not sufficient time to be drawing such conclusions. The introductory paragraph clearly elucidates the importance of the article. Widely debated, source of a lawsuit. The Importance tag is nonsense. I'll remove it. --The Editrix 14:24, 24 June 2006 (UTC)

Ste4k wrote: I appreciate your help, TheEditrix. Are you calling my use of the Importance tag nonsense? Or are you saying that "Importance" is nonsense? Please leave maintenance tags until we can establish a consensus on such things. Ok? Thanks. :) Could you tell me if I am understanding you correctly, please? Are you saying that the lawsuit is being widely debated? or are you saying "widely debated" and "source of a lawsuit" are two different reasons why this is important? Also, do you believe that there is a reason to be removing tags without discussing them first? Is there a hurry I am unaware of? I placed the maintenance tag on the article to indicate that the matter is unresolved. Should I have placed a WP:OR tag instead? You probably have more experience than I do at these sorts of things and your opinion would be appreciated, Thank you! :)

Contradiction

Ste4k wrote:The court case referencend supports the statement that the 'ACIM' is in the public domain. However, one of the sources cited in reference (notes) clearly shows a registered trademark ( Wapnick,Gloria and Wapnick, Kenneth Ph.D. "FACIM Publication: The Most Commonly Asked Questions about ACIM®".{{cite web}}: CS1 maint: multiple names: authors list (link) pages 102-3) The cited source with the trademark is unverifiable having no reliable published source per Item 6.3. The other cited source is a New York District court which is verifiable.


Urantia

Should be a cross-link to the Urantia Book lawsuit, which was argued on similar grounds. AnonMoos
