Fred is right in that point. I'm not a gender editor (my articles almost never have problems with gender issues), however, the topic is one where you can find the most biased people on earth: Religion. And I would say you case was not the worst one, the worst case i can imagine (and already happened with me several times) is to remove biased info (or include NPOV info) in an article about a religion / god / dogma who is watched by some believer of the same god / religion. ;) _____ *Béria Lima* Wikimedia Portugal <http://wikimedia.pt> (351) 963 953 042 *Imagine um mundo onde é dada a qualquer pessoa a possibilidade de ter livre acesso ao somatório de todo o conhecimento humano.
