Greetings. Thanks for following up my new article on [[Clarence Bouma]]. I don't believe the initial "R." is warranted. The only source seems to be the Records of the Evangelical Theological Society found in the Billy Graham archives at Wheaton, but every other reference omits the R. I believe that is was (at the time) shorthand for Reverend, rather than an initial for his first name. Older and more official records (such as the bulletins for Princeton and Harvard) probably would have used his given first name if there was one.

Hello my name is Jason and I am a student at Clemson University. I have started a page for Matt Chandler in my sandbox for my english class and am hoping you would be willing to aid me or advise me in making my article worthy of wikipedia.

Parable of the Good Samaritan
Dear StAnselm
I am sorry that you have seen fit to delete my link to a parody of the Parable of the Good Samaritan.
Humour and poetry are as much art forms as painting and the page contains links to paintings of the Good Samaritan.
It is my opinion that while such links should never take more than a small fraction of a Wikipedia entry they are generally harmless and occasionally useful.
I first heard that parody as a digression in a sermon - if preachers looking for inspiration find this link they may find good use for it.
Best wishes

New Jerusalem
You removed my edits on New Jerusalem. I'd like to know why.
The info I added is the latest published research and theory on size and shape. The theory has solved a question that was unanswered for 2000 years. Why would you delete it when it is relevant to the page? The info is easily verified by a simple google search.

If you feel the text lacked a reference you could have checked and added it your self. Aren't these references good enough? Will you add the text back now? I see no reason to deny new academic knowledge. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.186.136.110 (talk) 14:05, 17 October 2012 (UTC)
