Talk:Barbara Forrest

message: I obviously just added the header/section.  I think her participation in the trial is  very noteworthy all by itself so it seems to make sense to give it a seperate section versus throwing her testimony in the biography. Feel free to revert or improve.  The Thomas Moore Legal Center, the Discovery Institute and William Dembski have all made great efforts to marginalize and publicly attack Forrest.  Any opinion on us covering more of that in this article?  Mr Christopher 21:53, 13 December 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: And I changed the "..was the main witness" to "... was a key witness" (Ken Miller was not exactly a potted plant at the trial). Mr Christopher 22:28, 13 December 2006 (UTC)

message: WP:DUE states:
#A letter to the editor is not in the least bit prominent.
#Tom McLaughlin is not, in the least bit, a prominent participant or commentator in the Creation–evolution controversy.
Therefore his letter to the eidstor is not sufficiently prominent to be worth mentioning in this article. HrafnTalkStalk(P) 06:21, 25 April 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: You are intelligent and no doubt well intentioned, Hrafn, but once in a while you will preserve your own health if you back off and chill.  Barbara's lecture itself may not have been significant enough to include, but I put it in.  Nonetheless, although I appreciate your point and your close reading of even the notes to the article, one needs to hesitate about editing out the contributions of other users unless a citation is bogus.  And now there are more letters, pro and con.  Rammer (talk) 16:52, 25 April 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Hrafn cited the relevant guidelines to you. No need for him to "back off" or "chill" as those terms would mistakenly imply he wasn't in the right to delete the edit, and that he did so in a "hot" manner. Your comments about his health were personal and out of line and not conducive to a collaborative working environment. Aunt Entropy (talk) 16:57, 25 April 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: I direct your attention to the opinion stated in WP:RS/N that "Usually letters are only deenmed to be RS if the author has an established independently published reputation in the relevant field." As this opinion is also reflected in (the now defunct) WP:Acceptable sources, it would appear to be long-standing. HrafnTalkStalk(P) 17:15, 25 April 2009 (UTC)

text: If so, Aunt Entropy, my sincere apologies to Hrafn.  I also said that Hrafn (you apparently know "him"?) is "intelligent" and "well intentioned."  Although obligations precluded my attending the lecture, I understand that Dr Forrest knew her stuff and that the question-answer session was interesting and dynamic.  The lecture did not happen in a cocoon but had continuing newsworthiness, as evidenced by the fact that Wikipedia's readership can know what is published in the press unless we are opposed to that.
