oppose: In my view reality is just the opposite as stated in the summary above. I have been following a revert war on male cicumcision lately. User Robert Blair is improving NPOV statement and balance of the article. User Jakew keeps constantly reverting almost without comment. --Woodstone 21:10, 2005 Jan 26 (UTC)
