Removal of the word 'evangelical'

I'm copying this here from my talk page:

 I kind of disagree with your edit summary  
 here. Would  
 you care to expound on why you think he is not actually an evangelical? Possible at [[Talk:Ben 
 Carson]]. Cheers, Ansell 07:13, 18 October 2006 (UTC)

I simply removed the word "evangelical" that said Ben Carson was an evangelical Christian. For years the evangelical movement labeled Seventh-day Adventists (SDA's) as a cult and wanted nothing to do with them. SDA's, although they believe in evangelism, they do not consider themselves evangelicals and neither does anyone else; Just like Baptist's don't consider themselves to be evangelicals. Ben Carson considers himself a devout Christian and an Adventist, but to throw the word evangelical really is an assumption and is POV. If you can show me otherwise, I truly stand and differenciate evangelicals and SDA's. --Maniwar (talk) 12:11, 18 October 2006 (UTC)

Quotes

I went ahead and removed the quotes section of the article. None of the quotes seemed too terribly important to the article, and no citations were provided for any of them. —Mears man 00:50, 29 September 2007 (UTC)

everything here

is sourced from publications by the author. I intend to remove anything that cannot be sourced from third party sources. DGG (talk) 05:45, 31 January 2008 (UTC) someone seems to have done it a little too enthusiastically. I have removed the most irrelevant part. I ask again for sources on the rest, reminding everyone of WP:BLP and WP:V. DGG (talk) 07:02, 10 February 2008 (UTC)

why do they make it sound like he worked/studied hard or something...? He actually worked much less hard than the average Asian student, they don't even sleep every day over there, Ben slept every single day. Asides from that he had it good. I have Asian friends who studied more than that in first grade, why aren't they getting movies made about them? And what obstacles did he face...? Being poor? how is that a hinderance from getting good grades when I know homeless kids that get straight A's? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.81.195.55 (talk) 01:02, 19 August 2011 (UTC) used to molest children — Preceding unsigned comment added by 216.199.244.226 (talk) 17:22, 3 February 2012 (UTC)
