Anton, thanks for the link at FLDS article! Hope to see more of your work in the future. Hawstom 22:35, 23 Mar 2004 (UTC)

Hello, Mr. Hein. You have probably noticed that I have changed all your links to your Religion News Blog by substituting the phrase "Apologetics Index weblog." My reason for doing so is that your blog, like your main Apologetics Index, has a POV, that of evangelical Christianity, and a signal to that effect needs to be accompany the link. Your sites also contain material from other points of view, and that is commendable, but it would still be misleading to simply place your link on the Wikipedia page without notating in some way that you have a "dog in the fight," so to speak. I think simply announcing that this material is from the Apologetics Index is probably sufficient as a signal to POV, as readers may then look up the Wikipedia article on your organization if they are interested in learning more about the leanings you may bring to the subject. I think this solution is better than commenting excessively about your organization in the link itself, and it certainly beats removing your link altogether, as you should have the opportunity to say something about these topics. I have also moved these links back into the "External links" section, as there is no Wikipedia convention for a "News" section. --Gary D 00:55, Oct 24, 2004 (UTC)

Dear Gary,
On a number of occassions you have changed links to Religion News Blog (RNB) into "Apologetics Index Weblog." You mention that you have done so because "your blog, like your main Apologetics Index, has a POV, that of evangelical Christianity, and a signal to that effect needs to be accompany the link."
I have no problem with such a 'signal.' I do have a problem with your changing the name of the blog. For one thing, we are planning to introduce an 'Apologetics Index weblog' medio 2005. We do not want it to be confused with Religion News Blog.
Incidentally, the news blog consists of news items culled from - for the most part - secular newspapers.
Regards,

How about either, "Apologetics Index's Religion News Blog" -or- "Religion News Blog - from Apologetics Index"? --Gary D 18:58, Oct 26, 2004 (UTC)
That would be fine. Thanks for the suggestion.

Anton, are you behaving badly, or have you checked your recent actions with Gary D? Tom - Talk 21:07, 26 Oct 2004 (UTC)
