And ahhhh wikipedia. A few years ago I was in a huge battle over that article to get it to the state it is in today. It used to be a total hyperpreterist propaganda piece, but there was a level-headed Hyperprterist, Mike Beidler, and he and I hashed out some things. It certainly does need references, and if you are certain that yours are correct, stand your ground. Get an admin involved if you need to. One thing I noted though, you will have much better luck if you initiate a discussion on the talk page of the article for your changes. Wikipedia encourages that arguments be talked through, and oftentimes that helps settle disputes. It appears that there are two hyperpreterists editing your changes. One of them, Virgil, did invite you to the talk page to discuss, so I would definitely take that route and speak with him. I will be keeping an eye over there as well – I had kinda forgotten about it.

So I’ve been working with editing the Wikipedia entry of “Preterism,” since yesterday, to give reference support to the Orthodox position’s beliefs. I even posted citations from documents of the church fathers and Robert Townley, showing that the fathers’ orthodox preterism preceeded Townley’s hyperpreterism by nearly 1700 years. Cites are gone this morning and I can tell it’s been altered shoddily, because “Full Preterism” is now called “ull Preterism.”

Who does this stuff? The information was completely accurate! I’m kind of smelling a stinker.
