As <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/media/wikipedia-co-founder-larry-sanger-says-online-dictionary-scrapped-neutrality-favors-lefty-politics" rel="nofollow">reported </a>by Fox News (which WP may still conditionally <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Reliable_sources/Perennial_sources#Sources" rel="nofollow">sanction </a>as a generally reliable sources) in 2020, Wikipedia co-founder Larry Sanger himself a blog post declaring that the site is “badly biased,” “no longer has an effective neutrality policy” and clearly favors lefty politics. Likewise in <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/media/wikipedia-co-founder-larry-sanger-propaganda" rel="nofollow">2021 </a>. <br /><br />And of course the likes of you would not qualify as a scholarly source (I was even told I could not cite Robert A. J. Gagnon in the WP Bible homosexuality page - which included wild nonsense - as a "scholar" since Pittsburgh Theological Seminary was biased, despite his extensive <a href="http://www.robgagnon.net/" rel="nofollow">resume </a>. <br /><br />I did just mention your work though, after a RC linked to the WP on Luther's canon, since the lead states "it is the biblical canon attributed to Martin Luther, which has influenced Protestants since the 16th-century Protestant Reformation. While the Lutheran Confessions[1] specifically did not define a canon, it is widely regarded as the canon of the Lutheran Church." <br /><br />Yet as I said on the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Luther%27s_canon#POV_tag" rel="nofollow">Talk page, </a> <br /><br />This leads the reader to believe that the Lutheran/Protestant canon is Luther's canon, which is simply not true, nor is "it is widely regarded.." even substantiated. The Protestant canon is larger than that of Luther, and who expressly stated that it was his own judgment which others could disagree with. Thus the second sentence is misleading and should be removed. Too bad Swan's research cannot be cited: https://beggarsallreformation.blogspot.com/2015/01/luthers-view-of-canon-of-scripture.html <br /><br />Maybe you can provide some sources for the above. And thanks for the help you have been. May God bless you. PeaceByJesushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08754948549904895669noreply@blogger.com
