Courtesy and defending those who are being attacked are both things that we should encourage on the pedia. But we should also encourage internationalism and multiculturalism, and in this regard crusading symbology is about as helpful as that of the Auto da fe. We are writing an encyclopaedia and trying to share the knowledge of all humanity with the whole of humanity. I would like to see less use of divisive symbology in the pedia rather than more.

It was an early "newbie" attempt to respond to harshness and a definite, abrasive, non-collaborative attitude that I was percieving (at that time). I'm not sure where the divisive symbology is. I am a Baha'i. The family of man is a core belief of mine. I'm not sure how I conveyed something contrary to what I believe.--Buster7 (talk) 16:54, 28 November 2009 (UTC)

Hi Buster, anything to do with the crusades is liable to be offensive to some moslems and some eastern Orthodox. As for the Teutonic knights stuff, there are still national disputes in the eastern Baltic based on their era. So it isn't your text so much as the pictures.

Wikipedia:WikiKnight

There is a risk of this page/concept getting confused with that of the Wikipedia:WikiKnight - a legendary type of Wikipedian known for over simplifying Wikipedia conflicts into a binary struggle between good and evil and overly strict enforcement of rules.

Feel free to purge this from wherever you feel it might do harm. Thank you, ―Buster7 ☎ 17:50, 7 January 2022 (UTC)

Hi Buster, I'm not suggesting purging it. But if you want to take the idea further you'd need a name that hasn't already been used within the wikiverse. ϢereSpielChequers 12:00, 8 January 2022 (UTC)
