message: Hi — I've tagged this article with Template:citation style because it uses both <ref> footnotes and external links for citations. The best course would probably be to switch the external links into <ref> elements. —ptk✰fgs 23:00, 9 August 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: That wouldn't be a big deal, but won't consistency mean trading one click for two--one to get down to the notes and another to get to the URL of the external links?  --John Foxe 00:26, 10 August 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: It would, but for someone who prints out the article, the external links will currently just show as numbers. Using <ref> elements will allow them to see the references. The <ref> footnoting style is a de facto standard for featured articles, and for most developed articles of significant length.. Using footnotes also helps when you have a site that goes dead -- rather than just linking to a URL, you may list who wrote it, when it was written, and when it was retrieved. The use of named <ref> elements also makes it easy to cite the same source more than once. —ptk✰fgs 00:35, 10 August 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Thanks.  That makes sense. --John Foxe 13:36, 10 August 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Citation style 

message: I have no problem with the substitution made by K.Lee, but I would suggest that the Supreme Court, if it had chosen to do so, had reasonable cause to look behind the University's declaration that the no-interacial dating rule was a sincerely held religious belief.  There was a lot of medicinal alcohol drunk during Prohibition. --John Foxe 21:07, 17 August 2006 (UTC)

message: Can we get a better logo? That one looks really pixulated. If pixulated is really a word. If it isn't then it looks bad. :) --BenWoodruff 22:12, 28 January 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I removed the logo.  Perhaps a geekophile can upload a better image.--John Foxe 22:18, 28 January 2007 (UTC)

message: Wikipedia has an article on Holocaust denial, not on the euphemism for Holocaust denial, "Holocaust revisionism". Please don't link to re-directs, and please call belief systems by their actual names. Thanks. Jayjg (talk) 16:40, 21 February 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I left a note on your talk page.  Provan is not a true holocaust denier, and he has been criticized by those who are.--John Foxe 19:19, 21 February 2007 (UTC)

message: Rillian removed Darell Koons from this page a few hours ago "until he has a proper Wiki bio."  Well, he now does.--John Foxe 22:38, 22 February 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Darell Koons 

message: Rillian also removed Carl Blair from this page yesterday "until he has a proper Wiki bio."  Blair now has a worthy biography too.--John Foxe 21:41, 23 February 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Carl Blair 

message: JohnFoxe, I would like to here your reasoning for removing what she was well known, or notable for, Who's The Boss?
:Descriptions of people on the notable list are as brief as possible and emphasize their relationship to BJU, especially folks who have have their own Wiki articles. Besides, that  Helmond was most notable for her role in Who's the Boss? is a matter of opinion and probably one neither she nor other fans would share.--John Foxe 11:12, 25 February 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Katherine Helmond 

message: For some time now I've thought that the list of notable people associated with BJU should be split from the main article as it is for other schools, such as the University of Pittsburgh.  In some ways, it's unfortunate to fork off any information that might be helpful to a casual reader, but the BJU article is pretty long, and it seemed more logical to fork the people than the rules.--John Foxe 22:42, 24 February 2007 (UTC)

message: The articles forgets the complete support of this university to eugenics ; at least on the past.The article also forgets the senseless pseudo-scientific believes f this university.This university has prestige, but only among some protestant cults/churches.Agre22 (talk) 22:44, 30 April 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Although the subject rarely arose in conservative evangelical circles, American fundamentalists generally opposed the eugenics movement because it derived from Darwinism.--John Foxe (talk) 23:33, 30 April 2009 (UTC)

message: I see the Day Student Handbook is cited a few times. Is this available somewhere? They seem to be very secretive about it and won't let outsiders access it. --Mosquitopsu (talk) 01:27, 18 August 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Most of the significant rules are on line here at the BJU website.--John Foxe (talk) 01:45, 18 August 2009 (UTC)

text: Needs further editing...from the link provided above-"**After you arrive on campus**, you will attend various orientation sessions that will explain how the policies apply to you. Some of the information has been provided for you in the above links."
The key here is that neither students nor parents may access the actual rule book until enrolled and moving-in for freshman orientation...the link above DOES NOT provide any 'significant rules'  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 184.100.223.244 (talk) 19:45, 2 June 2011 (UTC)

text: Most everything that's important about the rules can be seen by starting at the link and then using the menus.--John Foxe (talk) 23:49, 2 June 2011 (UTC)

message: Why is there no list of notable alumni, faculty, and staff for Bob Jones?
--TMH (talk) 07:35, 31 March 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: There's a heading near the bottom of the article "Notable people associated with BJU" with a link to List of notable people associated with Bob Jones University. (The list also includes some donors, honorary degree recipients, and a few famous and notorious non-graduates.)  Long ago I was pleasantly surprised to note that vandalism dropped dramatically when the list was moved to a separate page.  I guess vandals either tend to be people in a hurry or they don't find vandalizing sub-pages as satisfying.--John Foxe (talk) 13:40, 31 March 2010 (UTC)
