== Appropriateness of Bible Quotes == I am curious what the usefulness of Bible Quotes is to this article. Is there a Appropedia policy regarding the use of religious materials on the page? [[User:Munimortal|Munimortal]] 13:01, 24 March 2011 (PST) :There's no explicit policy, but there probably should be one. My own feeling is that if someone has a particular perspective, it's ok to mention that; or if an organization is faith-based, it's ok to explain that aspect as part of the background. For personal projects/experience/research, then I feel it's appropriate if someone wants to put it in their background section, but not as a major focus of the article. And if someone wants to put something in their [[A:userspace|userspace]], they would have more leeway to write what they want. :If we go with that policy, I think this page will need to be edited, with some of the religious material removed or moved to George's userspace, and I trust that George will understand this. How does that sound? --[[User:Chriswaterguy|Chriswaterguy]] 17:43, 3 April 2011 (PDT) ::What is the religion of Appropedia? If there is none, then irrelevant Bible quotes (or irrelevant quotes from any religious text) should not be in article space. I see no evidence that any particular supernatural being had anything to do with the results claimed. Would it be possible for Hindus or Muslims or atheists to be "cured" of diabetes? Or is the "cure" only available to followers of a particular sect of Christianity? The followers of many contradictory religions make miraculous claims, suggesting that if religion is having any effect, it isn't due to the doctrinal payload of a particular religion. Unless all but one religion is lying. --[[User:Teratornis|Teratornis]] 18:34, 19 April 2011 (PDT) :::Please keep this a discussion of what belongs on Appropedia main article spaces and not a religious debate. I think it makes a lot of sense to move the religious parts directly relevant to George, to George's userspace. We also need to have a clear policy that is openly discussed... hopefully without attacks on religion. Teratornis and Chris probably know the best page to carry on that discussion. [[User:Georgedappilly|George]], thank you for your continued contributions and for helping us to find the best course of action that couples personal beliefs on user pages and the scientific findings, methods and procedures, criteria, materials, background, and general how to in the article spaces. :::Thanks, --[[User:Lonny|Lonny]] 23:01, 19 April 2011 (PDT) ::::I have also similar feelings about the inappropriate mentioning of https://www.appropedia.org/Diabetes_mellitus_cured_-_George%27s_experience#Praise_The_LORD in this forum. And I doubt that one persons diary is sufficient as basis for a medical article. However it is of course nice that George seems to becoming better. --[[User:Yeahvle|Yeahvle]] 02:18, 21 June 2011 (PDT)
