  Please refrain from introducing inappropriate pages, such as St. John's Seminary (California), to Wikipedia as doing so is not in accordance with our policies. For more information about creating articles, you may want to read Wikipedia:Your first article; you might also consider using the Article Wizard. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. Advice - This is a controversial deletion because of what is going on within the church. Additionally, your contribution history suggests a favoritism towards religious articles which goes contrary towards maintaing a neutral point of view.--Morenooso (talk) 17:40, 29 March 2010 (UTC)Reply

Thank you for responding to me. I did not post this stub on St. John’s Seminary. What I did do was remove the segment called “Controversy” because it does not contain any peer reviewed research. As you have said, there is much going on in the Church in the news right now. I have no problem with a balanced criticism of the Church. The statement that St. John’s graduates 10% pedophiles is unsubstantiated and therefore should not be included in such a short article about the seminary. A link to the “documentary” “Deliver Us from Evil (2006)” in a larger and more balanced article about the seminary would be appropriate. If you take a closer look at my editing history of religious articles on Wikipedia, you will see that I am trying to correct errors. For instance, I corrected the use of the word “monk” when referring to Franciscan friars. That is because Franciscans are not monks they are friars. This is an important distinction as monks and friars have very distinctive ways of life. Again, I feel that my deletion of “Controversy” is appropriate in the light of what is going on in the Church today. If someone what’s to talk about the sexual misconduct of priests in the Church, which I think is a valuable and justified thing to do, it should include peer reviewed research; not just some biased “documentary.” 216.56.80.50 (talk) 00:00, 30 March 2010 (UTC)Reply
