Salvation Army
I made a change to the wording of that section. It was incredibly silly that the first line based the world figures off the US, so I've removed that pending the actual number. You're also correct, there's no reason to list the leaders unless there's something else notable about them, so I took that back out as well. I'm not sure I agree on completely taking out the US figures, since it appears that may be approximately half of the total membership and probably worth mentioning. Feel free to change it if you still disagree with the wording. .:.Jareth.:. babelfish 16:53, 11 January 2006 (UTC)
 * Actually, those weren't my statistics, they were already in the article. I'm pulling corrected stats from the SA website now. .:.Jareth.:. babelfish 16:57, 11 January 2006 (UTC)

You're absolutely correct, links to amazon are discouraged, especially when you include a referral -- someone was trying to make money :P Anyways, I've put the references in the standard templates to resolve that.

Since you're reading the year book, it might be interesting to add some of the statistics for other countries. If we can get a lot of information such as the uniform, languages and membership for countries, we could seperate it into another article and only have the world statistics in the main article. .:.Jareth.:. babelfish 15:08, 13 January 2006 (UTC)

I think it would be best to leave the world statistics and make a seperate article, maybe Salvation Army Territories and Statistics that could list each country, territories in it and statistics for those territories -- that way we wouldn't need an example directly in the article and could avoid bias for a particular country. What do you think? (PS, you can sign you name using ~ ) .:.Jareth.:. babelfish 16:48, 13 January 2006 (UTC)

Moving text to seperate articles
This is one of those cases where you can be bold -- move the text to the appropriate article and just make sure you leave an edit summary that explains where you moved it and why. If someone disagrees, you can always discuss it on the talk page. .:.Jareth.:. babelfish 15:23, 7 February 2006 (UTC)
