User talk:Favedave
Hi Favedave, welcome to Wikipedia. I sent this message to User talk:69.239.114.85 and the Talk:Joan of Arc page, as well. There wasn't a way to send an email message until you registered as "Favedave." It will explain a lot about how we do things. Because we report on religious things, doesn't mean we espouse them. Our policy of npov is our "prime directive."
"Greetings. If you are the Favedave who sent me an email message, then you were blocked for removing sections of the Joan of Arc article multiple times in one day without any communication from you, even when the other editors asked you not to in their edit summaries. I realise that you are new to Wikipedia, so you will be forgiven quite a bit, and I hope you end up liking the place and sticking around, but your aggressive tone in the email message to me, things like "And it's obviously not (an encyclopaedia) if your primitive religious views trump all else" needs to be modified if you are going to edit successfully here. Wikipedia is run by consensus, so there were other reasons for the reversions of your removals, reasons you should consider and discuss if you want your edits to remain relatively unmolested. I will shorten your block time, but in the meantime please review the following links in order to help your sojourn at Wikipedia be more productive.
