It's been in my sandbox covered by other projects for a long time. Glad to see Jeff3000 wrote up the article - and nicely done too!--Smkolins (talk) 16:16, 2 May 2008 (UTC)Reply
Oppose - I disagree, there's too much detail in the Obligatory Baha'i prayers article, that if included in this one, would swamp the rest of the content in this one, over-stressing some of the finer points. Regards, -- Jeff3000 (talk) 14:20, 14 June 2008 (UTC)Reply
Question - does this mean that you feel that it would be a prudent merge if information on Baha'i prayer in general outside of obligatory prayer were expanded?
Comment No, there is enough content in the Obligatory Baha'i prayers to be it's own article. The best way to organize it, is as it is now, as per summary style. If all this content was in the Baha'i prayers article, and the rest of the article expanded, that article would be a mess, and the content would have to be to summarized and moved to it's own articles as per summary style anyways.

Oppose - There's enough specialization in the Obligatory section, like history of, that it's not part of prayer in general, but very specific to Obligatory.--Smkolins (talk) 19:29, 15 June 2008 (UTC)Reply
Thanks It's pretty clear that everyone wants them to be separate. My preferences haven't changed, but it's irrelevant to consensus. Thanks. —Justin (koavf)❤T☮C☺M☯ 22:29, 15 June 2008 (UTC)Reply
No, no Thank you. It's a small thing, Peter, but seeing a courteous note of acknowledgment makes someone want to continue editing Wikipedia. Anyway, back to the encyclopedia. —Justin (koavf)❤T☮C☺M☯ 02:45, 17 June 2008 (UTC)Reply
