Jeremiah Wright

Off topic and inflammatory. ~ MD "Webster" Otley (talk) 08:28, 23 November 2008 (UTC)

Biographies of religious leaders are not offtopic. I would suggest making modifications to reduce the "inflammatory" nature of the article and make it more uplifting. --Ashcraft - (talk) 03:16, 25 November 2008 (UTC)

Concur. Jeremiah Wright is not a scientist, nor have I ever considered him a scholar, either of the Bible or of the Table of Nations or anything else that his sermons have touched on, even remotely. He therefore merits neither mention nor reply in a project like this. Specifically, he is not in the same league with Talk.Origins or Richard Dawkins or any specific evolution popularizer. (I'm not even sure what his views really are on evolution or evolutionism; I've never read anything from him on those topics.)

Furthermore, politics is beyond our scope. Let Conservapedia talk about him (as they do). (Full disclosure impels me to reveal that I am an administrator of Conservapedia, and a senior one.) Let us concentrate on building a sound Biblical apologetic, a model for creation, and a refutation of the general theory of evolution. Let us leave politics to other sites.--Temlakos^Talk 12:20, 23 November 2008 (UTC)

If this article receives no defenders within the next week, it shall be deleted.--Temlakos^Talk 20:58, 23 November 2008 (UTC)

Feel free to delete obsolete files or obvious cases of vandalism, but deleting a proper article or opinion piece should be our last course of action, and only after due process.

I do not find this recommendation to be well supported, nor the article to contain content that justifies an almost immediate deletion. I agree that adjustments to the article should be made, but editors must be provided ample opportunity to make the changes necessary to head-off the deletion of a work. Several weeks would be a minimal duration - providing opportunity for improvement is the ultimate purpose for the recommendation process.

Political content is also most certainly not offtopic. It is appropriate and our intent to defend the Biblical worldview through education and also political expositions. The latter is likely to include the promotion of legislature and the support of candidates that uphold Judeo-Christian principles and morals.

I acknowledge the above.

In that case, we'll need to set some clear guidelines about writing an article about any contemporary political and/or religious leader with whom we cannot fail to disagree on most if not all aspects of his program. I am very much afraid that one cannot say anything "nice" about Jeremiah Wright. I cannot justify, nor even excuse, a word he is reported to have said. And though I have seen the Jeremiah Wright article only briefly, I'm not sure that any of the things that it contains could in all justice be considered libelous. As the legal eagles at the firm of Fulbright and Jaworski taught me and several other then-graduating medical students at Baylor College of Medicine,

Now we can certainly confine ourselves to a bald quotation of his sermons, and limit our evaluation of the man to the Essay namespace. But we'll need a guideline for how we want to present ourselves in any namespace. Call it "How to handle inherently inflammatory material without inflaming yourself."--Temlakos^Talk 03:33, 25 November 2008 (UTC)

Appears to have been failed image upload. ~ MD "Webster" Otley (talk) 20:20, 24 November 2008 (UTC)

Done. Everyone who reads this: To upload an image, follow the link labeled "Upload image." That will take you directly to the pool, which is where you want to be.--Temlakos^Talk 20:37, 24 November 2008 (UTC)
