As I recall making a comment earlier on the wikipeida

relevance. As of my most recent e-mail, I asked how the template assisted the
encyclopedia or its goals or if there were any edvidence of its informative capacity. The
questions still haven't been answered. -Zero

"Read the article without fear"....? What on earth are you talking about...?
"Trust in our readership"...? As if sweating day and night making them
articles of good quality weren't trustworthy enough! -Zero
