transfer from article-request page[edit]

at february 11, 2012, the entry at the request page (Wikipedia:Requested articles/Biography/By profession read:

"* James Johnson (minister) (1832–1917) (req. pre-2012-01-26) – a Yoruba member of the African Methodist Church of Sierra Leone founded by African-American settlers in 1821; attributed the success of Islam to its use of African customs and institutions; ordained and became a bishop in west Africa from 1900 to 1917"

noted discrepancies with article (at february 11, 2012),

year of birth – 1832 (in request above) vs. c. 1836 (in article, but without attribution)
assistant bishop vs. bishop – "became a bishop in west Africa from 1900 to 1917" (in request above) vs. "In 1890, Johnson became assistant Bishop of the Niger Delta and Benin territories, holding this post until his death in 1917." (in article, but without attribution)
Islam – request mentions it; article is silent
African Methodist Chruch – request mentions it; article does not

the request included no attribution.--71.167.157.17 (talk) 16:25, 11 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
