message: For a large part of this article there is no documentation.  "How do you know all that" may be asked even by one quite sympathetic with the content of the article.(EnochBethany (talk) 03:36, 18 July 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: Most of the Wikipedia article is a cut-down version of that in the 1911 edition of the Encyclopaedia Britannica (available at reference 5), with the exception of the sections about his family and criticisms by an American Flat-Earther. The source article was written by the Rt. Rev. Herbert Edward Ryle, Dean of Westminster, who probably did "know all that." The old Britannica never gave chapter and verse for everything it said.

thread_title:  Lack of Documentation 

message: "He now occupied a position for which he was supremely fitted, at a point in the reform of university studies when a theologian of liberal views, but universally respected for his massive learning and his devout and single-minded character, had a unique opportunity to contribute."  Why be oblique?  If he was liberal, then say so, but define the term for him.  Liberal means a lot of different things in different historical contexts.  Modern conservatives seem to love his commentaries.  Liberal in theology implies denial of the fundamentals of the faith, like verbal inspiration of the Bible and the deity of Christ.  You need good documentation is you wish to assert that such was Westcott.(EnochBethany (talk) 03:48, 18 July 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: The description of Westcott as a "liberal" has by now been edited out of the main page, but it may be useful to point out that EnochBethany seems to understand the word in the 20th century American sense of one who does not fully accept the "Five Fundamentals" promulgated by the General Assembly of the Presbyterian Church of the USA in 1910, nine years after his death. Whatever the previous writer meant, it cannot have been to impugn an Anglican bishop for not being Calvinist enough. NRPanikker (talk) 23:04, 6 May 2019 (UTC)
thread_title:  Westcott a Liberal? 

message: Phrases like "he threw himself into the new work with extraordinary energy..." tend to suggest that he is obsequiously admired by the writer.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 58.171.88.114 (talk) 12:44, 17 September 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: Comparison of their WikiPedia articles shows that the writer Herbert Edward Ryle was another bible scholar 31 years younger than Westcott, who had been his student at Cambridge and a little later his junior colleague at King's College. NRPanikker (talk) 13:38, 7 May 2019 (UTC)

thread_title:  External links modified 

message: An IP wants to add "Socialist" to the category scheme. (I reverted.) The edit note justifying this is Westcott's own commentary. But do we have a secondary source describing him as a Socialist? No. (Nor is he described as a socialist in the article text.) We need textual use of the term, supported by non-WP:SPS sources.  – S.

thread_title:  Social-ist? 

message: The link labeled "Wescott and the Ghostly Guild" goes to Kjvonly.org. Clicking the link takes browser to 
a site called Financeflick.com. ???
There's a button I could click that says "Subscribe Now" hmmm... It's so tempting, but I'll resist :)
Does anyone else agree? This looks like a fishing scam, or just a fake site at best. There's no information related to the article.
No need to worry about a phishing scam at that web link. Mr. May's page expired some time ago and someone had taken the link to use for their own means. It is now a domain up for sale. DollyArtist2013 (talk) 19:37, 23 November 2021 (UTC)
