Ah - this is a great point.  It hasn't come hither, actually - at least not yet.  I didn't write the article, myself, FYI.  I actually tend to disagree - I think I know who wrote it, though, and he probably wrote it light-heartedly.  I figure, for now, if people don't agree, they can always change it.  However, it makes sense to put this in force.  I mean, I would hate to have people bashing a compilation or hymn directly in the article.  If people really want to state their opinions, they can do it on the forums (in this case, it would be on the [http://www.nabble.com/HymnWiki%3A-Hymnal-Discussion-f22711.html hymnal discussion forum] or perhaps rather the [http://www.nabble.com/Hymnal-Reviews-f22707.html Hymnal Reviews forum]).  Whatever the case, it won't be ''exactly'' like Wikipedia's way if I institute it. I'll probably just say 'do not post biased content' and let people interpret that for themselves; this is, after all, a site for hymns (and not everything controversial the world has to offer).  Yeah, I think I'll just tell people not to state their own opinions in articles.  I can't tell people not to post biased hymns, as some historical hymns really are biased (and many hymns are biased to one religion or another, anyway) - but editor commentary/bias should be labeled appropriately.  I've added this to the [[HymnWiki:Appropriate content|appropriate content]] page, though I suppose it still needs work. Please tell me any comments/advice you might have.  I'm pretty flexible with ''most'' things.  Thanks for joining HymnWiki, by the way! [[User:Veramet|Veramet]] 19:26, 18 May 2007 (MDT)
