Talk:Jimmy Akin

message: Folks, the man is notable. Whether you agree or disagree with him, he is a notable lay apologist. SophoclesOedipusRots (talk) 00:48, 22 August 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  Notability 

message: I'm curious what (if any) educational credentials Mr. Akin has. If not, it's not a problem since he's known as a lay apologist, I was just curious (and if he does have some relevant degree, it would be an important piece of info to put on his page).  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 63.166.23.91 (talk) 18:22, 21 January 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  Academic Qualifications? 

message: Calling him a Catholic "apologist" seems a bit POV, but I'm not familiar with this guy. Would less loaded terms like columnist, commentator, etc be more appropriate? -- Hongooi 10:46, 25 January 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: He is the Director of Apologetics at Catholic Answers, and his blog has won the "Best Apologetics Blog" award.  It seems to be an apt description to me. -- Cat Whisperer 12:12, 25 January 2007 (UTC)

message: :Image:JimmyAkin.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is  other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page.  Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion.

thread_title: Fair use rationale for Image:JimmyAkin.jpg

message: This first of all, seems utterly trivial compared to several books he has wrote and his daily appearances on Catholic Answers Live. That being said, the wording is twisted up. Who made the charges? Who's self-flagellating? What is that? Why is this relevant to Akin's bio? Elizium23 (talk) 16:18, 19 April 2020 (UTC)
thread_title:  Charges of self-flagellation 

message: I added this link  to Jimmy's own website as I had heard that his wedding date was wrong (1988 can be seen mentioned there, not 1991 as previously in the article). After I did so, it seems to be an electronic version of the chapter from Madrid, Patrick (2018). Surprised By Truth : 11 Converts Give the Biblical and Historical Reasons for Becoming Catholic cited elsewhere in the article. Can someone check or confirm so we can simply footnotes? >> M.P.Schneider,LC (parlemus • feci)  00:03, 6 May 2023 (UTC)
