== My edit == | |||
I'm here explaining some of my changes to this article. | |||
* I removed "ideological", as I felt it was misleading, implying that the site is ''about'' ideology, whereas it is a general encyclopaedia. I did follow the link to the category, which explained that it was for "wikis which deal with the subject matter of ideology". What does that mean? That it has articles about ideological topics? Any general encyclopaedia does, including Wikipedia, which is not so described. In any case, the sentence also referred to the site's point of view, so it was somewhat redundant. | |||
* I changed "specifically toward a Young Earth Creationist worldview" to "specifically toward a biblical worldview", because that's what it is. The YEC viewpoint in the encyclopaedia is as a result of having a biblical viewpoint, and the site's viewpoint is ''specifically'' (i.e. specified as) biblical. | |||
* I removed the following sentence as bigoted nonsense: | |||
::Although the site owner claims aSK is an 'encyclopædia', Rayment strictly enforces his YEC viewpoint and many articles do not include appropriate citations, references or footnotes for independent verification (some articles do have citations, albeit citations to sources biased towards the specific viewpoint, e.g. overwhelmingly Creation Ministries International). | |||
: I enforce the encyclopaedia being what it's designed to be—an encyclopaedia from a biblical viewpoint. And any article that I've been primarily responsible for ''does'' include "appropriate citations, references or footnotes for independent verification", except from the viewpoint of opponents who refuse to see any citation from a creationist as "appropriate". Furthermore, most Creation Ministries International sources that are referenced themselves have many references to the secular literature. This argument is merely special pleading. | |||
