User talk:R at MEMRI

Wecome, R

I notice it has been a month and a half since you posted on the MEMRI article's talk page and no one has gotten back to you here. I hate to sound cynical but this does not surprise me. I am, however, saddened. While I'm fairly new to WP, and, don't feel qualified or yet, motivated to write on any subject authoritatively, I do proof and citation clean up to help out. I'm afraid I'm not going to be much help in your goal of taking a hand in the rewrite of the article, but I thought that, that, shouldn't stop me from complimenting your tact and forthrightness in taking on the editorial labyrinth that is WP. It has struck me since starting this note, that there is a decidedly Kafkaesque aspect to WP editorship, as a result, no doubt, of the design of the thing. I left a comment on the MEMRI article's talk page, concerning the mess I think it is. I do hope others will take up the cause and produce something more neutral in a WP/POV context. I don't think many in the west today are sensitive to the position of people who risk a great deal trying to reform from within a religion that has rationalized, as it were, such a violent approach, for some, in dealing with modernization. I applaud your courage.Bjhodge8 (talk) 12:31, 1 November 2016 (UTC)
