 ==Religion and Wikipedia== 

 I understand that the spelling ""Jehovah"" (especially its vowels) is of paramount importance to followers of the Jehovah's Witnesses religion.   If it were not, this article would not exist. 

 However, Wikipedia policy is explicit that articles must follow scholarly convention and scholarly consensus.  One cannot make an article on Wikipedia conform to the doctrines of the Jehovah's Witnesses, nor may one compel editors to conform their edits to any religion whatsoever. 

 Convention and the scholarly consensus are quite clear in regard to the use of the word ""Jehovah"" and official statements from official sites of the Jehovah's Witnesses differ markedly.  This version of this article here:   is sourced and cited.  It also incorporates the contributions of numerous editors, including that of Jehovah's Witnesses. 

 Each Jehovah's Witness is certainly welcome to his own point of view.  The Jehovah's Witnesses have their own websites and there is even a section in this article allowing for discussion of these views.  The overwhelming majority of editors do not follow that religion, but the community has been generous and even indulgent in incorporating these sectarian views in the article. 

 Thus, in the interests of Policies and Guidelines  particularly Wikipedia is not a soapbox, Jehovah's Witnesses are strongly urged to cease conforming articles against scholarly convention and consensus.  More importantly, kindly cease from demanding that editors follow sectarian religious doctrine.  Editors take offense at such tactics and are unlikely to comply.   

 We consider it rude and it reflects badly on Jehovah's Witnesses. 

 There are ample websites already owned by Jehovah's Witnesses for followers to contribute to.  All are welcome to contribute here inasmuch as each follows the rules.  -    "
