Talk:F. F. Bosworth

message: *This article needs at least one more good image, if not 2-3 more.
*This article could use some re-wording.  I wrote most of it originally, so I'd appreciate someone else proof-reading for me.  I can usually catch bad spelling/grammar/sentence structure, but prose can be tough for me...
*"Early Years" and "Ministry" sections need to be fleshed out and expanded.  They're basically just skeletal right now.  
*Add section on "Religious Beliefs"
*Add section on "responses to "Christ the Healer""
*Other suggestions?

thread_title:  Next round of improvements? 

message: Good job including another "Joybringer Bosworth" into this article.  I do think we could do some cleanup after the inclusion of all the data.  It seems like the introduction is now quite lengthy.  What might help is if we re-wikify this and make the sections reflect the information we now have.  I'm not sure how to weigh the sources against one another, but I do think if sources are compared, then "Christ the Healer" has the marks of at least the most notable one--if it is the most reliable remains to be seen.  In general, I'd like to see the article simply cite its sources by template and be uncluttered when the sources do not contradict.  Which will be hard for me to determine--I don't own either book.  Input here?
Finally, I'm going to see what edits I can come up with but definitely do not hesitate to revert me if I end up doing something that is original research as well.  I am hoping that the material we have is also not originial research.  It's important that we get the facts straight first and then discussion evaluation of those facts to determine if it is appropriate. With lengthy sources such as books, it's vital to keep to the main points.  Thanks.  ClaudeReigns 07:27, 6 May 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: New Source!

message: :Fred Francis Bosworth (1877-1958) was born on a farm near Utica, Nebraska. The book Joybringer Bosworth indicates Bosworth was raised in a Methodist home. As well, his conversion at the age of 16 or 17, and his healing from major lung problems a couple years later, had a Methodist connection, indicating that he was initially a Methodist.
I promise you, most readers have electively killed themselves rather than read on, after that inspired start. Is there any possibility you could explain, in a couple of pithy sentences, who this chappie is & why we should care. You can then return to your discussion of lung disease and methodism with relative impunity. See, for instance, News writing#Inverted pyramid. thanks. --Tagishsimon (talk) 20:51, 31 December 2007 (UTC)

What does this even mean, LOL?  How do you convert at the age of 16?  Was he previously a Sikh?  I'll rewrite without the awkward parentheticals. ClaudeReigns (talk) 22:04, 31 December 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Winner of the Wikipedia Most Drab Opening Sentences Award, 2007

message: Seems like a lot of the problems with the opening paragraph concern minutiae that would be better handled in the chronological layout of the article.  I agree with the criticism Tagishsimon brought, and we can best introduce the article by sticking to what's most important.  We can discuss early experiences and demoniational shifts elsewhere.
