Talk:Bible college

message: Much content was removed from this article with notes that it was unsourced or that the reference (particularly the Canadian Encyclopedia) did not support the claim. The problem seems to be that the citation to the Canadian Encyclopedia is to an article that is split across several webpages (with only 2 or 3 paragraphs on each page). Use the "next" button in the lower right hand corner to read the full article, or get the printer-friendly version at http://thecanadianencyclopedia.com/PrinterFriendly.cfm?Params=A1ARTA0000721 --orlady 19:18, 10 September 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Good call; you might want to specify in your notes which page the information is on. The biggest detractor to use of TCE is that it is an encyclopedia about Canada. Can you find information in a more broad source? Otherwise, you might have to put that information under a subheading just about Canada. I know it's annoying, but those are the joys of being able to cite something well, and you'll find a lot of articles that need to break up subjects by nation and region simply because of the relevance of the info. What do you think? Aepoutre 20:38, 10 September 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: There is NOTHING I wrote in this article that did not have a source. I have very little personal knowledge of Bible colleges, so I was not writing from personal knowledge. I do not see a need to add a source citation for every sentence in an article like this one, as the content is generally uncontroversial. Furthermore, many sentences were synthesized based on information from multiple sources. The primary sources for the history section were The Canadian Encyclopedia, the ABHE, and http://www.spabc.com.au/history.htm (History of the South Pacific Association of Bible Colleges). Note that these sources are geographically diverse: Canada, US, and Australasia. In some instances, multiple sources made almost identical statements. --orlady 03:57, 11 September 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Sources for information

message: I may be an unregistered wikipedian but I feel my concerns are valid. There are great many assumptions made ion the first paragraph of the article. I am not sure the auther is doing enough thorough, non-biased, scholarly reserach. This is also evidenced by the about discussion on the talk page. The main issue for me is the assumptions made about curriculum but no substantiation. I have found 2 Bible Colleges that have a 2-4 course systematic theology curriculum. http://www.cbcag.edu/downloads/catalog.pdf page 91 for example or perhaps http://zbc.edu/documents/academic_catalog.pdf Pages 70-17. I am of the belief that the article posted be accurate and researched done well or be taken down and adjusted. This is, and I subscribe to it, the Jimmy Wales philosophy.
This is important because this article was being used as a reference link that was cited on a specfic bible colleges wikipedia article. That college does actually teach a systematic theology and also has a science course in the academic catalog. --User:Unregistered 09:46, 16 December 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: The removal of the theology statement is fine. It was unsourced in the article, and it's entirely within your right. I respect that you'd like to talk about it rather than edit war. It was, I believe, part of the seminary article before I created a separate bible college article, so I just ported it over. I thought someone might find a source for it at one point, as it seemed to make some sense, but your rationale for removing unsourced material is justified, especially in light of your discoveries. As for your concerns, because they are related to one specific school, I'd say that you have just as much a stake in this as whoever first created that content. The complaint is one of verifiability, not NPOV. I'll remove the tag. --Aepoutre (talk) 17:32, 26 January 2009 (UTC)
