Mormon group article
hi, thanks for contributing to Wikinews. i just wanted to let u know that the Wikinews Content guidelines do not permit Wikinews to republish press releases written by parties to a dispute (see also What Wikinews is not). while writing an article about a controversial issue, pls use multiple sources and ensure that the views of all parties are represented (see WN:NPOV). articles that fail to meet these standards will not published on Wikinews and will be deleted unless they are adequately improved upon. as mentioned in the welcome message above, Writing an article walks u through the steps of writing an article. &mdash; Doldrums(talk) 16:32, 29 January 2007 (UTC)
 * the main problem with Press Releases is not so much the copyright restriction as the fact that they are almost invariable not NPOV in content and expression. to write an unbiased article, pls use multiple sources including those independent of the disputing parties, represent the views of all parties and finally, pls do not publish an article until u are sure it meets the minimal standards for an article. do note that repeatedly reverting someone's edits is considered Wikinews:Edit warring and is expressly frowned upon. &mdash; Doldrums(talk) 16:37, 29 January 2007 (UTC)
 * pls do not repeatedly attempt to publish disputed content without addressing the content raised. it is considered edit warring and can get u blocked from editing Wikinews. &mdash; Doldrums(talk) 16:47, 29 January 2007 (UTC)

REPLY: This article follows the guidelines of all fine Schools of Journalism and it is quoting from a Primary source. As far as a dispute. There is no dispute as to whether the letter was sent or written. IF Wiki. chooses to censor this article than it would have to censor every article that someone finds offensive.

Lawsuits are filed for libel and slander. In every case, the court holds the Primary Source reponsible, not the news publisher. We have quoted the primary source. Please publish the article and stop the stonewalling. Thank You.
 * Well I see that your familiar with this. Anyways, please see the comments on Farmers Insurance's Mormon War. [most importantly, please address WN:NPOV ] Bawolff ☺☻ 05:24, 4 February 2007 (UTC)
