Yeah, but what do we expect from a 19th-century Bible dictionary? The original article author keyed in tremendous volumes of information from that book, which doesn't seem like an entirely bad thing to have done (I commend him on his labor). Us WikiPedians just need to go over the stuff and reproject it through a lens of (attempted) objectivity. As a lifelong atheist, I personally would find it extremely valuable to have a non-religious resource for many of the names/places/dates and folklore of the Judaeo-Christian-Islamic tradition. --Branden |
