Hi, Randy. I am trying to improve my article creation skills. Could you please explain why you feel this article is "promotional"? The page is no different from other academic journal pages on Wikipedia, such as "The Journal of the Evangelical Theological Society" or "Religious Studies (journal)." In my opinion, none of the content on the page gives undue weight or partisan promotion to the journal. The content merely states what the journal is, its affiliations, and a listing of its areas of research and editorial board. None of these constitute "unambiguous promotion." The article is clearly neutral in its perspective, stating only facts with no positive or negative remarks. There are no points of view expressed in the article. Thanks, Randy.
