[QUOTE="spnadmin, post: 177947, member: 35"] The Sikh pages are accompanied by pages for other religions too. Then in the left column navigation pane, other topics are also "taught". The site is called "Bitesize" and I suppose that means the intent was to keep things simplistic and short. That is what "short" gets you, something that is so simplistic that it is probably wrong and/or misleading. If you backtrack, you can find there are some tests. For Sikhism: Sikhism: beliefs about God Sikhism: good and evil Sikhism: revelation [url]http://www.bbc.co.uk/schools/gcsebitesize/rs/god/[/url] What should I do if I fail one of those tests? Maybe I should confess to the forum in a public and humble way. What should I do if I get an "A?" Maybe I should brag to the forum in a public and not-so-humble way. Maybe I should write to the editor and complain. The last time I did that, I wrote to an international Sikh newspaper regarding a major controversy. The editor wrote back and told me and "your kind" to get a life. That ties in with the simple and short theory. Does the BBC believe that very many people want to spend time thinking about Bhagat Ramanand and what he thought about god, good and evil, or revelation. Too Complicated But his shabads sum up deep Sikh beliefs, beginning with ਰਾਮਾਨੰਦ ਜੀ ਘਰੁ ੧ रामानंद जी घरु १ Rāmānanḏ jī gẖar 1 Raamaanand Jee, First House: [url]http://www.sikhiwiki.org/index.php/Bhagat_Ramanand[/url] It would be good to know more about the origins of this site on BBC and who its founders were. [LIST=1] [*]How were the authors who wrote the religion pages selected? [*]Did any particular 'panthic' bias predominate among those who were selected, or those who were doing the selecting? [*]Was there an editorial board and did it think that a site for children and/or newbies should employ uncomplicated explanations? [*]Was there internal controversy when the Sikh pages were being written? [LIST] [*]Did those who were present in the largest numbers prevail? [*]Did those with the loudest voices prevail? [/LIST] [*]Final question. How would non-Sikh desk editors and feature editors who had primary responsibility for this project know who to listen to? [/LIST] Somehow the site does not surprise me. It would be very interesting to hear from members of other faiths who would take the time to look over the sections and tests for their religions. They might get back to us with their concerns.
