Hello Beersquirrel, I reverted your edit[1] to Taitz since it is a biography of living persons article, we have to be careful to present information about the subject as neutrally as possible. Which means if we want to cast doubt on her claimed religion, we will need to have clear reliable sources that make those specific doubts in direct relation to her (and not just in general.) Additionally, the Charles Lincoln information needs to be sourced and the negative information about him needs to be directly applicable to Taitz. With regards to her holocaust claims, we can't state that "she has never presented documentation" unless a reliable source has made that specific claim (or have raised those specific doubts.) I hope this clarifies why I reverted your edit. Please don't hesitate to seek further clarification here, or at the Taitz talkpage, or at my own talkpage. kind regards, --guyzero | talk 04:44, 18 October 2009 (UTC)Reply

Hi again, I got your note on my talkpage.

I apologize for not snipping out the other good information you added ... please feel free to add back anything you feel does not violate this policy: WP:BLP. I doubt the article about her will be deleted as she (to quote Madow) "is the Queen of the Birfers!" Anyway, editing biography articles are a little tricky in that we do have to be careful not to break the policy I linked just above. Please let me know if you have any questions, and you can always feel free to propose or discuss changes on the article talkpage (as you already have done) and folks will reply. kind regards, --guyzero | talk 04:59, 18 October 2009 (UTC)Reply

I reposted it. I hope these changes are more in line with appropriate policy.

Hi again, your re-edit looks great in my opinion. Nice work. I did some minor copy editing.[2][3] We'll need to find a better source for the judgment (as scribd isn't a reliable source, though the document certainly looks official.) Welcome again to Wikipedia by the way. On my talkpage, I moved our conversation down to the bottom (to separate it from an older conversation.) kind regards, --guyzero | talk 05:07, 18 October 2009 (UTC)Reply

Hello. In case you didn't know, when you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion, you should sign your posts by typing four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment.
