Line 217:

::::No, they are not aware. That is the point. They read the article and take it literarly word for word. Is there some reason you wish to subvert putting this encyclopedia into historical context? Historical context may be obvious to you, but its not obvious to other people. --[[User:Stbalbach|Stbalbach]] 21:27, 22 December 2005 (UTC)

::::Also, what does "greatest edition" mean? That is a subjective POV statement. If I wrote that in any article on Wikipedia Id be thrown out. "King Kong is regard by some people as the greatest movie ever made". Completely inappropriate to Wikiepdia. It's pretty obvious you have a strong bias in favour of eb1911 and are not soleysolely interested in being fair and balanced. --[[User:Stbalbach|Stbalbach]] 21:32, 22 December 2005 (UTC)

:::::Where do you get the idea I "wish to subvert putting this encyclopedia into historical context"? Putting it into historical context is not "criticism". And the article does not say it's the greatest edition, which would indeed be POV. It says it is widely regarded as such, which is just fact. This works for movies just the same, e.g. [[Lo que le Paso a Santiago]] says it "is considered by many to be the greatest movie ever produced in Puerto Rico" or [[Balthazar (film)]] says it "is often praised as one of the greatest films ever made".
