 * The Wikipedia policy of Biography of Living Persons and verifiability requires that reliable sources for any statement in the article. Reliable sources are non-self-published sources, that do not include personal websites or blogs.  That one writes about a subject does not make one a believer in a faith.  A reliable source is needed that specifically states he is a Baha'i.  Regards, -- Jeff3000 (talk) 13:01, 20 March 2009 (UTC)

Jeffrey, you are inaccurate in your assessment. A reliable source is a university website. Please look at the Emory University website. You really need to be much more careful and less more zealous and over-protective. Stick to the facts Jeffrey: http://www.emory.edu/EMORY_REPORT/erarchive/2001/September/erSept.10/9_10_01profile.html There is nothing to be ashamed of if one is a Bahai scholar in the USA. Afterall there is freedom of religion in the USA unlike elsewhere in the world. I agree with Bahai100 that an official university website is a reliable source for a biography. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Religioustudies (talk • contribs) 14:50, 20 March 2009 (UTC)
