Til[edit]
As you're new here it may be helpful for you to know that this is not the first time someone has explained the academic rather than vulgar meaning of the word myth to this particular editor. Please do continue discussing terminology with your fellow editors; with this one at least tho, you are re-plowing well tilled ground. KillerChihuahua?!?Advice 16:46, 29 September 2011 (UTC)
- So, what do you suggest I do? I edited Queen of Sheba because it claims that Hebrew Biblical Accounts includes Qur'anic and Ethiopian accounts, as if they are part of the Torah. I can't change it to "Religious Accounts" because the Ethiopian texts are more historical-cultural rather than religious. And if I change it to historical-cultural that sounds as if I'm trying to deny that the Bible, the Torah, and the Qur'an are part of religions. He keeps reverting my change back to the old way, which is unsatisfactory for the reasons mentioned above. Umm huraira (talk) 17:45, 29 September 2011 (UTC)
- Interesting conundrum. The applicable policy is WP:RNPOV; I know the actual word "myth" was treated in greater detail elsewhere but I cannot recall where. I will look. KillerChihuahua?!?Advice 17:55, 29 September 2011 (UTC)
