What would be the proper forum on which to debate such doctinal questions? Should it be moderated? Is it a problem that none of the participants are authorized to speak for the Church?
The Wikipedia answer (yes, there is an answer), is to cite authorities and experts, and if there is significant disagreement on a subject, be sure to cite all sides fairly and sympathetically. Regarding the specific passage in question here, an applicable official Wikipedia policy might be "No original research" [[WP:NOR]]. In other words, if no scholarly or ecclesiastical source can be found that discusses the idea, you have good backing to request that the article not "go there". Simply cite [[WP:NOR]] (after reading it, of course) and say, "Cite your sources, or please leave it out." There are so many facts (citations of existing sources) to be added to Wikipedia that there is really no time to be arguing for interesting original conclusions. -- Tom Haws Have a beautiful day. _______________________________________________ Ldsoss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.ldsoss.org/mailman/listinfo/ldsoss
