I'm betting this article gets shutdown to edits pretty soon.


I love you.


I know...but it wasn't me that did the editing. I just saw it at RfM...I bet it's someone from there.


That's ok, I love them too, but I love you for pointing it out to us. :D

PS: Is it just me or does Mormonism get a ton of coverage on wiki?

Two years ago I edited wikipedia 3 hours a day. I was met with opposition from the VERY strong "faith based" wiki edits and was told to shut up and go play on another wiki. Specifically the douchebag known as visorstuff was the ringleader of the Mormon wiki editing.

What needs to happen is the formation of a a concerted effort to edit the Mormon wiki to reflect actual fact and counter the plethora of BS that is the Mormon section of wikipedia.

I've edited the exmormon page a few times. I've edited the anti-Mormon page quite a bit, too.

Do you know how to start articles/entries? If so, I'd appreciate a tutorial, assuming you have the time.
