NPOV
editI chose the NPOV tag rather than the {{advert}} tag; either one would work. The article is straying further from the neutral point of view that Wikipedia articles should strive for. tedder (talk) 16:55, 14 August 2009 (UTC)
- The tag is very cool if it attracts interested editors. The only sentence that is conceivably not straightforward, observable and verifiable fact, I imagine, is the third-and-last one:
I have posted a couple of notices for help (for example, at the LDS project talk page). Thanks! :^) ↜Just M E here , now 17:50, 14 August 2009 (UTC)The site's individual bloggers and visitors share their own experiences as a means of providing support to others of an informal, pastoral nature.
- You are right- the two things that caught my eye were the "type of site" sentence in the infobox and the "providing support of an informal, pastoral nature" sentence that you saw.
- We both have biases- I make it clear on my user page that I'm atheist. That's perfectly okay, though. I'd rewrite this article if I had the ability to do so. It isn't bad, it just shouldn't promote the entity. tedder (talk) 18:27, 14 August 2009 (UTC)
- I just went through it quickly. Comments? Between what the three of us (tedder, JHN, John Carter) have done, I think it looks much better. My only other complaint (not related to the tag) is the excessive seealso list. As WP:SEEALSO says, "A reasonable number of relevant links that would be in the body of a hypothetical "perfect article" are suitable to add to the "See also" appendix of a less developed one." I think a dozen wikilinks may be excessive- somewhere in the range of four seems more suitable. tedder (talk) 19:12, 14 August 2009 (UTC)
I cut the external links to Bloggernacle, the fellow middle-way community (to Dehlin's) New Order Mormon, an LDS apologetics online community (FAIR blog), and the two disaffected LDS online communities. ↜Just M E here , now 19:40, 14 August 2009 (UTC)
- Great work. It was fun to collaborate and improve this so quickly. tedder (talk) 19:43, 14 August 2009 (UTC)
