Yosemitest... I think this may mean that the FR moderator doesn't want Comet Ison articles in the "Extended News" sidebar. Probably only a site administrator could have removed the Topics that you placed on the article and then also moved it to one called "Religion & Science" (see just above Reply #1).
Your reference to the moderator as "some dummy" probably won't help you in this regard in the future.
And to Gamecock...
This article shows Religion forum up at the top right of this page, but I think that Religion & Science is a sub-topic of it, as their lists of recent articles are different (the URLs are different just after "tag/")
