Talk:Universal Life Church/Archive 2

message: I have this evening removed Adam Savage from this list as there is no verifiable or credible source to confirm this information. I would strongly suggest that the addition of any names to this list as well as any other content on this page needs to be done in a manner which complies with WP:V, particularly when placed in the context of WP:LIBEL and WP:BLP. Page will be monitored for 14 Days to ensure changes are not re-added and citation templates added to page. thewinchester 15:05, 20 December 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Need for citations

message: *Support, in this category simply because the options provided seem arbitrary to me.  I feel that no hard and fast limit in the form of a specific number (such as "just one") on the number of links allowed.  I do believe in limiting the number of links to a minimum, but whether or not a link is allowed should be judged on criteria other than how many other links there are.  A link should be allowed if it:
*#Provides content that is easily accessible, that the average browser would find useful, and is either not already provided by an existing link or is a better source for that info (in which case it should replace that link), or
*#Is an official site for the subject.  If there are multiple official sites, then only the most prominent/important should be linked.
:This criteria applied to most subjects should naturally limit most articles, including this one, to somewhere between 1 and 3 links.  Especially controversial or important ones might have more.  Anyways, I feel that limiting to 1 as a rule is a bad idea.  --Reverend Loki 22:33, 4 January 2007 (UTC)

message: *Support If the religious organisation in question wishes to provide further information about itself, branches, units, etc, then that is its own prerogative and can be handled on it's own official website. WP is not a links directory, and to get into issues about the churches own internal politics could raise NPOV difficulties. thewinchester 01:43, 1 January 2007 (UTC)

replies: text: I'm not understanding why this article should have only one external link. If you look at Assemblies of God, they have a long, large list of external links. Probably too many, but we certainly need more than one. This article is not just about the one little building in Modesto. It's about the Universal Life Church. The organ that is a church. That means more than one link. I'm not saying to post links without some thought or merit, but only one hampers the article. GreenJoe 15:08, 17 April 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: please see above in External link removal and reasons 2,3, and 4 in the Links normally to be avoided section of this policy.   131.10.254.61 18:25, 17 April 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I fail to see your point. Please register so we know who we are talking to. The links should remain per Assemblies of God. GreenJoe 20:10, 17 April 2007 (UTC)
