[edit]

Hello! Over the past two years, a vast number of articles related to the Trinity, the Arian controversy, and 4th century Church history have been overhauled and/or bloated with material of a decidedly pro-Arian/anti-Trinitarian slant, including Homoousion, Arian controversy, and dozens more. The main user behind this transformation is AndriesvN, an extremely prolific Arian apologist who runs the blog revelationbyjesuschrist.com, one of whose stated purposes is to "oppose the Trinity doctrine." See his contributions for a sense of their scope and character.

While the user in question often adds serious content and cites legitimate scholarly works, it's consistently written in a polemical tone that fails to meet Wikipedia's Neutral POV principle, and often is improperly cited and/or mixed with original research from his blog. He's also shown himself averse to constructive criticism, as seen from his talk page.

While I've attempted to fix some of the more egregious revisions (e.g. to Athanasius of Alexandria), as a Wikipedia rookie and full-time theology student I lack the bandwidth to revise and factcheck all the articles in question, and for this reason I'm appealing for your help, especially those of you who have background in theology/Church history. Your assistance with reviewing, revising and factchecking these articles is greatly appreciated. Thank you!

(And of course, feel free to get any other community involved if you think they could help. I'm about to ask WikiProject Eastern Orthodoxy.)
