86.181.139.204 keeps saying that [[Richard Carrier]] is a blogger rather that an Ivy League PhD in Ancient History and author of several published books. This same Christian inserted a Criticism section at [[Bart D. Ehrman]]. The talk page section indicates that a Criticism section made up primarily of Christian apologetics is useless.[[User:RosylynGrock|RosylynGrock]] ([[User talk:RosylynGrock|talk]]) 19:06, 9 March 2014 (UTC)

:I've looked at both of those pages. The subject matter is somewhat outside of my knowledge area and interests, but I am happy to give you some pointers here. First of all, please be aware of [[WP:EW]] and, in particular, [[WP:3RR]]. Just because 86.181 makes edits that you consider to be wrong doesn't mean that you have to revert them. Instead, the first thing you should do is to make a comment at [[Talk:Richard Carrier]] and/or [[Talk:Bart D. Ehrman]], explaining your concerns. Just talk about what the articles should or should not say; do not comment on the motivations of 86.181 (see also [[WP:NPA]]). It looks to me like you haven't done that yet, and it's really very much where you need to start. If you are unhappy with whatever follows your talk page comments, then start a report at [[WP:BLPN]]. Editors there will be very interested in making sure that biographical information about these two living persons is correct. I know that I just gave you a lot of Wikipedia alphabet soup, but all of those blue links will be very important for you. I hope that helps! By the way, welcome to Wikipedia! --[[User:Tryptofish|Tryptofish]] ([[User talk:Tryptofish#top|talk]]) 20:28, 9 March 2014 (UTC)

I have opened a talk page discussion for her to comment if she so wishes. I would point out I am a professional historian and therefore my edits are motivated by exactitude not irritation. I have however again reverted the edits to the previous ones, the results of previous talk page discussions on both subjects, until they can be discussed.[[Special:Contributions/86.181.139.204|86.181.139.204]] ([[User talk:86.181.139.204|talk]]) 18:24, 10 March 2014 (UTC)
