  Welcome to Wikipedia. It might not have been your intention, but your recent edit removed content from Wikipedia. When removing text, please specify a reason in the edit summary and discuss edits that are likely to be controversial on the article's talk page. If this was a mistake, don't worry; the text has been restored, as you can see from the page history. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia, and if you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. Thank you.. In particular, do not remove entire sections, sourced information or source citations from articles unless you have gained consensus to do so or have proof that they must be removed per a policy such as WP:BLP. Furthermore, you are editing a highly controversial article, and should thus gain consensus for any substantive changes at all, or editwarring will probably result. Finally, you are making massive changes to this and one other article and editing nothing else, and your edits in many cases are strongly pushing a non-neutral point of view. This makes it look like you are a single-purpose account who is here to push an agenda on one more topics you are heavily connected to in some personal way. Hopefully this is not the case, and you can assuage other editors' concerns by focusing less doggedly on having Kevin Trudeau and Mazzaroth read the way you want them to. — SMcCandlish Talk⇒ ʕ(Õلō Contribs.


I accept your criticism, and I accept that I am a newcomer and have much to learn. I apologize for not properly researching editing rules before making my posts. However, I only edited things that had no sources attributed to them or that were clearly in violation of a WP:NPOV. My areas of expertise do tend to be concentrated in a few areas; Judaism, comparitive religions, natural medicine and nutrition; however that does not mean I am "pushing an agenda" or connected to anyone in any personal way, which I am not. Mazzaroth is a linguistic/etymological article, and should be considered for merging with Jewish views of astrology. (it is the hebrew word for constellations, appearing twice in the Jewish Bible, nothing more --- the previous content was not only overtly biased by a christian point of view but also made unverifiable and unsourced claims of a more "esoteric" nature to this term.)
