How is using a religious terminology at all related to what we do on this site? I made sure that my choice of words were clear and descriptive. "Genesis" might not be very clear to non-English speaking Wiki browsers. Change it back if you disagree. I personally think the [[DMA]] article and any others should not contain such "speculative" information, Audits anyone? ;-) --[[User:Brynet-Inc|Brynet-Inc]] 18:15, 16 September 2007 (CDT) |

The [[DMA]] article is written like it is a bible story, so it should be Genesis. It fits, and it works. Non-English speakers should have some idea of what Genesis means (the bible is the most read book, after all). I don't see any offence towards non-Christians, either. It's a humourous reference, not like it's being preached. On the other hand, in Porting Newlib, it should be Preparation. It's not Genesis, it doesn't fit, and it's not at the beginning.

Neutral
Really? 'Neutral'? For something to be neutral, I was under the impression that there had to be a disagreement about it. How, by any meaning of the word, is using 'Genesis' not appropriate as a synonym for 'Beginning'? Moreover, in DMA, using Genesis makes the article a little more together due to it's style. I should say it's perfectly acceptable. Such edits seem to cause quite the opposite of the intent. --Alboin
