Perhaps one could've argued that a slight rewording was necessary for
clarity. (Perhaps "comparable" rather than "in-line".) I can't imagine
why this is cause to imagine that this segment of the article was part
of the anti-mormon propaganda machine. I think that despite the partial
citation you point out, the article was clear that we are in fact
significantly different from Arius in our theology. It just seemed,
pretty darned fair and I wouldn't have minded sharing it with all my
friends and neighbors without the slightest hesitation. I probably
wouldn't be comfortable mentioning that overzealous mormons launched a
brief cyber-political holy war (battle) attacking a fairly NPOV comment
describing our religion.
I only showed that article as an example of inaccuracies about Mormons
on wikipedia. I realized quickly after the fact when the author
stated his reasoning in the discussions that he had no ill intentions
against us. I'm not saying any more the Arianism topic is
"anti-mormon" (while I would argue to say the First Vision article did
have some anti-mormon biases in it). I am simply saying it was worded
wrong, nor was it cited with examples of people comparing us with
Arians. We were arguing a point that hadn't been argued against us in
the original context. I will agree to disagree when I say I don't
feel Mormons should be on that list. I think any further discussion
should go on the discussion page at wikipedia - since we seem to
disagree that may be the best place to hash it out.
I don't think this is improper use of the list - I've learned a lot
about wikipedia from this discussion and how we can help spread truth
through the use of it. I hope others have too.
