Religion and Wikipedia I understand that the spelling Jehovah especially its vowels is of paramount importance to followers of the Jehovah s Witnesses religion If it were not this article would not exist However Wikipedia policy is explicit that articles must follow scholarly convention and scholarly consensus One can not make an article on Wikipedia conform to the doctrines of the Jehovah s Witnesses nor may one compel editors to conform their edits to any religion whatsoever Convention and the scholarly consensus are quite clear in regard to the use of the word Jehovah and official statements from official sites of the Jehovah s Witnesses differ markedly This version of this article here is sourced and cited It also incorporates the contributions of numerous editors including that of Jehovah s Witnesses Each Jehovah s Witness is certainly welcome to his own point of view The Jehovah s Witnesses have their own websites and there is even a section in this article allowing for discussion of these views The overwhelming majority of editors do not follow that religion but the community has been generous and even indulgent in incorporating these sectarian views in the article Thus in the interests of Policies and Guidelines particularly Wikipedia is not a soapbox Jehovah s Witnesses are strongly urged to cease conforming articles against scholarly convention and consensus More importantly kindly cease from demanding that editors follow sectarian religious doctrine Editors take offense at such tactics and are unlikely to comply We consider it rude and it reflects badly on Jehovah s Witnesses There are ample websites already owned by Jehovah s Witnesses for followers to contribute to All are welcome to contribute here inasmuch as each follows the rules
