Mutiple Issues - October 2016
It would be nice to know who added the mutiple issues template to the article so that one can understand what has been stated. We had had the article reviewed before being made live and no issues had been reported during the review. Like many articles those who are invovled in the writing of them have personal knowledge of the subject matter. Of course additional editorial support is welcomed. Additional research and citations are planned to develop the article further. It would seem that the multiple issues tag has been unfairly added especially when similar articles exist without such citation.

 * You can see from the edit history that I added the maintenance tags because these are areas where the article needs improvement. Although you have changed your username, you still have a clear conflict of interest and so should not be editing the article directly. There are plenty of claims in the article that are unsourced and possibly not able to be sourced to acceptable sources for example the church attendance numbers and seating capacity. These and other information are not really encyclopaedic, hence the 'essay like' tag. Cheers, Melcous (talk) 09:25, 10 October 2016 (UTC)
 * Thank you for your reply. It is most helpful.  The attendance numbers were obtained from the citation from BHO.  Many individuals interested in church history are keen to know of such information and as the BHO themselves thought that it was relvant historical information we felt that it would beneficial to be added.  I will of course look to rewrite it and place it in the third person more clearly that appears to have happened.  Additionally I hope to improve the citations. It is also provable that other similar articles have individuals who you would consider a conflict of interest in editing, which woudl be petty to list.  I would be keen for others to join the editorial and to take lead.  I have yet to pull out citations which I have to add which we believe show the church has historical links back to the 1600's which again make the article more noteworthy.

 * Are we able to review the "essay" tag and the "citations" tag? What is needed to be changed to ensure that it does not read as opinion or an Essay, and likewise what citations are needed to fulfil the requirement?
