I knew such addition/deletion will take place by people that don't agree with the content of Wiki like the last paragraph I translated in "Einistien".
I wish people could understand that was an article about Einistien and that was his belief and not necessarily mine:) I would want the reader to know about the scientist's belief. Thats not why I posted, I would like to know how to go about article "X" which from my point of view it is a black article but you see it as a white article? let me be more specific, a Moslem writing about "Jesus" and a Christian writing about the same?
Regards,
It is nothing to worry about, those things happen in a Wiki. What matters the most is what stayed at the end.
Something close to that subject, is that many articles so far (specially those that are Islam-related) are written from a Muslim point of view, not only with information, but also with context, and language used. For an encyclopedia it should be neutral, but at the same time respecting for all views. I wanted to change some articles to make more neutral, but I was afraid that it will be misunderstood. Although the majority of Arab speakers are Muslims, the articles of the Wikipedia should be in a scientific, neutral language, not the same language you read in Islamic history/religion books.
This is my say about this..

I believe what are you looking for might be http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:NPOV
this is the Wikipedia concept for dealing with different views on subjects like you mentioned.
It may help to put a shorter version of this (and the tutorial this page links to) in the arabic wikipedia, too.
greetings, elian

I agree...but something inside of me tell me we will encounter lots of those "point of views" mishaps:)
