Your edits on Adolescence

Hi Nateland. I understand how you feel, but please understand that few will come to your defense when you cannot keep your cool. We must remain civil at all times, even against vandals. Xiner (talk, email) 02:32, 6 January 2007 (UTC)

I'm sorry you are getting so upset over the editing on the Adolescence article. I'm not defending what Dr Sax says, but you can not simply delete it because you don't like it. Doubleday is one of the worlds largest book publishers, it should be no problem for you to get a copy of his book at a bookstore or at the library and read for yourself what he has to say. As I said on the talkpage, if you have evidence that refutes him, by all means WP:Be Bold and edit the article. However, I might reccomend that you read his book. It may change your mind, and teach you a few new things (both on this topic and many others). Finally, you can not simply delete text because you disagree with it, or because someone else altered what you said. Just remember that every time you make an edit that WP reminds you "If you don't want your writing to be edited mercilessly or redistributed by others, do not submit it." (check out the bottom of the page the next time you edit one.) Happy editing to you, --Illuminato 04:42, 6 January 2007 (UTC)

Nateland, I think you should post your text on the article's talk page, so that stylistic and POV issues can be ironed out in a central place (e.g., stats from the other side, don't capitalize words for emphasis). Illuminato, I disagree that we should rely on one authority for the statements in our articles. Xiner (talk, email) 21:42, 6 January 2007 (UTC)
Nateland, you said on the adolescence talk page that you know you shouldn't be deleting the information you disagree with, yet you continue to do it. I know you are young, and that you are new to WP, but now I know that you are aware it is wrong, so please stop. Thanks, and happy editing --Illuminato 00:44, 9 January 2007 (UTC)

Please be more careful

Nateland, please be more careful in your edits. On the adolescent sexuality page in one of you edits you wrote: "According to Ponton Lynn, a proponent against sex between adolescents." There are several things wrong with this sentence. To begin with, it is not a complete sentence; it lacks a verb. Secondly, her name is Lynn Ponton, not Ponton Lynn. Also, I'm not quite sure what a proponent against is. I think you mean an opponent. Finally, and most importantly, if you have ever read any of her books you would know that she is not opposed to consensual sex between older adolescents, provided that they are prepared for it based on the guidelines she sets out in one of her books. You can not simply ascribe a position to her when you have clearly never read anything shes ever written. In the future, please be more careful and do your research before you post. WP is not a place for you to place your own opinions on any topic. --Illuminato 22:27, 15 January 2007 (UTC)

Reference

Hi there, I see you have some problems with references... please test them on the sandbox instead than using a live article ;) also, you may wish to search on the Help:Link section of the help. Please do not use html tags ! --Raistlin 23:02, 6 January 2007 (UTC)

India

Evening, neighbour. In response to your question on the Homosexuality page about India: the Indian Penal seems to imply that homosexuality is illegal. "Whoever voluntarily has carnal intercourse against the order of nature with any man, woman or animal, shall be punished with , which may extend to ten years, and shall also be liable to fine... Penetration is sufficient to constitute ." There's more information on the Homosexuality in India article. Also, Indians are mainly (80.5%) Hindus.

You find "Jew" offensive? Why's that? -- User:Wozocoxonoy 19:58 10/01/2007 (GMT)

Re: Final Warning

nateland, you are not an administrator. You have no authority to place that warning on my talk page. You can not ban me from editing any more than I can ban you. The edits I am making are not a personal vendetta. I am not out ot get you. I am just trying to make WP better. Please read the comments on the talk page where I outline some of the problems with your version of the article. I didn't include them all, as I am not out to embarrass you. Please try to keep your cool. --Illuminato 20:44, 20 January 2007 (UTC)

Just so you know i AM trying to keep my cool, and ANYONE can report a 3RR violation I am quite sure, though i'll put it in the adolescent sexuality talk page to find out just WHO can report 3RR violations.

And no, you're doing what I did early on in wikipedia, recklessly screwing up the adolescent sexuality page just so that you can inject your own biased 'facts'.

This is my opinion and that's FINAL. Nateland 20:46, 20 January 2007 (UTC)

Adolescent sexuality article

Thanks for your comment. The story started with unbalanced additions taking over the adolescent psychology section of the adolescence article. Moving it to a separate article hopefully will eventually allow something more balanced to develop. I just added a legal aspects section, but a religious aspects section would be useful in the future. Fight the battles on limited fronts, withdraw when you need, you can always come back later. Regarding Islam, I am not very knowledgable - I dropped a note at the Talk:Islamic sexual jurisprudence page. Paul foord 01:07, 21 January 2007 (UTC)
