Fair use rationale for Image:AOGlogo.gif
Image:AOGlogo.gif is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

Assessment
The "fundamental doctrines" could each be expanded a little to provide more detail about the specific meaning of some of them, and there are, in general, fewer reference citations than would generally be wanted, which is generally at least two per paragraph. The last section of notable churches and members of the body could probably be turned into two links in a separate "see also" section. Otehrwise, good work!

Photo request
Can anyone please add an image of an Assemblies of God worship service, preferably from an "averaged sized" congregation as we already have images from more larger churches. Thanks. Ltwin (talk) 08:38, 16 January 2010 (UTC)

Removal of external link
I have removed an external link to the AG's Church Multiplication Network which was placed in the "Ministries" section of the article in good faith. While the AG has many ministries and only a few are currently listed in the article, we need to be careful not to create link farms. If a ministry of the AG has a Wikipedia article, I have no problem with it being listed here, but if it has no article then it probably isn't notable enough on its own to merit listing in this article or an article just hasn't been written yet. I would welcome a Wikipedia article on the missionary work of the AG in general. The official AG website is listed in the "External links" section. It offers information on a variety of the denomination's activities that do not merit attention in an encyclopedia article. Ltwin (talk) 09:13, 16 January 2011 (UTC)

Too long, uncommon name

General Council of the Assemblies of God in the United States of America → Assemblies of God USA Yes, this may be the full official name, but it is not what most people call this denomination. The lead even indicates the more common name "Assemblies of God USA," and the article only uses "Assemblies of God" throughout. This title is just going to keep people from finding this article.

It's pretty common for a shorter name to be used for the title of an article, with the longer name mentioned only in the lead. I think we should do that.

Or, to put it in policy terms, almost no reputable sources refer to this denomination by its current title. We need to follow WP:COMMONNAME. — trlkly 13:53, 9 January 2014 (UTC)


 * Agreed. As the editor responsible for writing most of the article and nominating it for good article status, I think this would be a good idea, even though I'm pretty sure I'm the one who chose the longer name. :) Ltwin (talk) 19:28, 9 January 2014 (UTC)


 * I think WP:UCN and WP:CONCISE are policies. Strong support. Red Slash 02:14, 10 January 2014 (UTC)

Status of Cedar Point Church maryville tenn
Please explain the current status. 2600:1004:B113:B87B:3411:5B45:AF19:34F7 (talk) 19:47, 11 April 2022 (UTC)
 * Are you asking whether this church is part of the Assemblies of God? Wikipedia is not affiliated with the Assemblies of God. You would need to contact that denomination or look up the church in the AG's church directory which can be found on its website: https://ag.org/resources/directories/find-a-church.
