I hardly think an article about a donor from a private library constitutes the claim that the donor is "recognized as one of the most distinguished theologians of the century." I recommend revising this language, as it is hyperbolic. 134.139.22.230 03:23, 4 April 2007 (UTC)
The Apotheosis of...Frank Stagg—whoever he was
Seriously, who wrote this article?!
In the opening section, we are treated to special boxes that show what a great man he was—and look at the source of the quote! And we are treated to appropriately encyclopedic tidbits like his anointing as "Teaching Prophet."
I don't know who he was, but this article certainly doesn't recommend him well—or at all. It recommends the writer even less. I haven't seen an article this wanting of common decency in a very, very long time. Someone needs to clean this up—preferably someone who is content to not engage in deification. If this isn't the very embodiment of a Vanity Article, I don't know what is. InFairness (talk) 05:28, 27 February 2010 (UTC)
- Hello InFairness. I am the author. Dr. Stagg was my mentor and professor. Your expletive and explosive criticism is very offensive and unnecessary. I could also ask, who are YOU to be so negative and critical?
- This article was one of the first that I wrote on Wikipedia, so I apologize for the wantonness you find with the article. As the article reflects, Dr. Stagg died in 2001, so there is no vanity involved. No one is submitting this article for [[WP:GA], so I don't understand the energy with which you condemn me and it. Even several thousand edits later, I don't see it as unprofessional. Can it be improved? Which article can't? Am I willing to do some work on it? Not unless you calm down and are WP:Civil. Abusive slams like you levied aren't very inspirational.
- Dr. Stagg was ahead of his times. He taught me and so many others the example and teaching of Jesus that, in true Christianity as He intended and exemplified it, women had just as much responsibility and authority as males to minister and proclaim the Gospel. ...That, along with so much more about NT exegesis. He caught a lot of flak for his bold stand that even today won't fly within the official stance of his ultraconservative denomination.
- Now that hopefully you've gotten your frustrations off your chest, if you are willing to constructively describe what edits you consider most crucial—and WP:AGF on my part, I will work in some editing on the article. Like you, I am pretty tied up and don't see this as a major emergency. But with your apparent expertise, you can provide constructive and helpful suggestions. Thanks. ─AFA Prof01 (talk) 06:37, 27 February 2010 (UTC)
