Talk:Hebrew Christian Alliance of America

Odd recent addition
DeknMike has just added to the article material which included this odd material: "Its semi-monthly prayer-meetings, described as wonderfully uplifting, undoubtedly added much to the grand work done in those years by the A. S. M. C. J. in a large number of cities in all parts of the United States. The exact date on which this Prayer Alliance ceased to exist cannot be discovered, but we have reason to believe that it began to decline in the late fall of 1853 and had ceased to exist at the anniversary of the A. S. M. C. J. in May, 1854. In 1855 scandalous reports affecting the character of Rev. Mr. McGregor, caused not only his retirement from the office of secretary of the A. S. M. C. J., but the suspension of all activity of that society, until the Hebrew-Christians came to its help. However, the A.S.M.C.J continued to decline and ceased to exist in 1867" Aside from the fact that it completely violates WP:NPOV, is written in the first person plural, and its tone is completely un-encyclopedic, it appears to be a direct copy of Minutes of the first Hebrew-Christian Conference of the United States (1903)". I am sadly completely unsurprised to have to remind DeknMike that one cannot simply copy text verbatim from sources, and that the minutes of a 1903 meeting would not be considered reliable secondary sources for the purpose of this article.
