Hello, !

It was really helpful of you to upload File:DisciplesToday.jpg, but in order to keep new images, we need to know their exact source and copyright status.

If you can edit the description page and add that information, that would be great. If you're not sure how or would like some help, please ask us at the media copyright questions page and we'll be happy to assist you.

File copyright problem with File:Church of Christ Service.jpg
Thank you for uploading File:Church of Christ Service.jpg. However, it currently is missing information on its copyright and licensing status. Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously. It may be deleted soon, unless we can verify that it has an acceptable license status and a verifiable source. Please add this information by editing the image description page. You may refer to the image use policy to learn what files you can or cannot upload on Wikipedia. The page on copyright tags may help you to find the correct tag to use for your file. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem.

Please also check any other files you may have uploaded to make sure they are correctly tagged. Here is [ a list of your uploads].

If you have any questions, please feel free to ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thanks again for your cooperation. Sfan00 IMG (talk) 13:50, 21 January 2012 (UTC)
 * If the copyright holder (not you) forwarded the correct release for copyright to the address at WP:OTRS, you just need time for the staff at OTRS to process the information and assign a ticket. Once that is done, and OTRS admin may restore the image with the appropriate copyright release. Skier Dude  ( talk ) 03:57, 3 February 2012 (UTC)

August 2012
Your recent editing history at International Churches of Christ shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war. Being involved in an edit war can result in you being blocked from editing&mdash;especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring&mdash;even if you don't violate the three-revert rule&mdash;should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.

To avoid being blocked, instead of reverting please consider using the article's talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. See BRD for how this is done. You can post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection. &mdash; Scientizzle 16:01, 21 August 2012 (UTC)

Hello, I'm Velella. This might not have been intentional, but I noticed that you recently removed some content from International Churches of Christ without explaining why. In the future, it would be helpful to others if you described your changes to Wikipedia with an edit summary. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks,  Velella  Velella Talk 11:35, 18 September 2012 (UTC)

ICOC articles
Hi Jamie. I just downloaded a whole bunch of copyrighted ICOC-related articles to PDF form from Factiva. At Nietzsche123's request, I will email them to him/her. Since you are also an interested party in the conversation, I would be glad to do the same for you. Simply email me so that I have your email address, and I will send them.

File permission problem with File:ICOC Service at AT&T Center.jpg
Thanks for uploading File:ICOC Service at AT&T Center.jpg. I noticed that while you provided a valid copyright licensing tag, there is no proof that the creator of the file agreed to license it under the given license.

If you created this media entirely yourself but have previously published it elsewhere (especially online), please either
 * make a note permitting reuse under the CC-BY-SA or another acceptable free license (see this list) at the site of the original publication; or
 * Send an email from an address associated with the original publication to permissions-en@wikimedia.org, stating your ownership of the material and your intention to publish it under a free license. You can find a sample permission letter here. If you take this step, add OTRS pending to the file description page to prevent premature deletion.

If you did not create it entirely yourself, please ask the person who created the file to take one of the two steps listed above, or if the owner of the file has already given their permission to you via email, please forward that email to permissions-en@wikimedia.org.

If you believe the media meets the criteria at Non-free content, use a tag such as non-free fair use or one of the other tags listed at File copyright tags, and add a rationale justifying the file's use on the article or articles where it is included. See File copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have provided evidence that their copyright owners have agreed to license their works under the tags you supplied, too. You can find a list of files you have created in [ your upload log]. Files lacking evidence of permission may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. You may wish to read the Wikipedia's image use policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. VernoWhitney (talk) 22:47, 29 January 2013 (UTC)


 * VernoWhitney I have sent through the permission email to the address mentioned above. Please let me know when the file is again available for use? JamieBrown2011 (talk) 07:06, 13 February 2013 (UTC)

Unwelcome Comments on My Talk Page
I've deleted your recent comment on my talk page. Find someone new to stalk and harass. -Nietzsche123 (talk) 12:24, 5 July 2013 (UTC)
 * I can assure you I have no interest in "stalking" you or "harassing" you. My note on your page was there because you were engaged in WP:CANVASSING which is inappropriate on wikipedia. If you are innocent then there is nothing to hide, and no need to delete my note.JamieBrown2011 (talk) 15:41, 5 July 2013 (UTC)

My apologies
I asked the following question on the ICOC talk page and JamieBrown2011 responded:

"Who is an authority on the ICOC? How do Wikipedia members and readers know that what they are reading on the ICOC page is true?

Also, why does factual information about the ICOC that is negative get deleted or changed?Qewr4231 (talk) 14:11, 18 August 2013 (UTC)

Qewr4231 (talk) 06:18, 23 August 2013 (UTC)

I apologize for discussing my personal experiences in the ICOC. I posted those questions in all sincerity. I don't know who or what constitutes a reliable source on the ICOC. Qewr4231 (talk) 06:55, 23 August 2013 (UTC)

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Universal Display Corporation, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Pioneer (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ* Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

3RR rule
Please familiarize yourself with WP:3RR, which you egregiously violated today. Specifically, you cannot perform three or more reverts in an article space, regardless of what specific content is being reverted (unless libelous, BLP-violating, outting, etc.). Also, given your editing history, you may also want to read WP:SPA. DKqwerty (talk) 22:49, 4 September 2013 (UTC)

International Christian Church Page
Hi JamieBrown2011!

I am trying to understand why you keep reverting the edits that I have made in the International Christian Church article. My edits are giving some background to the letter that was written to Kip McKean. You have noted in you edits that you are removing POV material. I understand that various wording can be labeled "POV", but the majority of what was added is not POV, but details that help to explain the situation. I am bringing this up on this Talk Page in order to comply with Wikipedia standards. I hope that we can come to a reasonable resolution on this matter. Thank you! --CdHess (talk) 20:46, 30 September 2013 (UTC)


 * The section that keeps being inserted has no references so it is considered WP:OR or WP:POV editing. Wikipedia is not a newspaper or a blog but rather an Encyclopedia that references what reliable sources has already said about a subject. I hope that helps.. Also in future please sign your talk page posts. JamieBrown2011 (talk) 05:20, 30 September 2013 (UTC)

Disruptive Behavior on ICOC Article
Please note that users are expected to collaborate with others, to avoid editing disruptively, and to try to reach a consensus rather than repeatedly undoing other users' edits once it is known that there is a disagreement. While it is true that I have reverted a number of your edits, I always justify why I make each individual edit on the talk page. You reverted my edit three times without discussing the statement about university chaplains warning their students of the ICOC. And you have yet to discuss why you keep violating WP:UNDUE even though it's going on five edits now. Please discuss these matters in full on the talk page before making willy-nilly edits. I'm interested in constructing a quality WP page on the ICOC. This requires us to discuss matters on the talk page over controversial material. -Nietzsche123 (talk) 00:01, 22 October 2013 (UTC)


 * While I still maintain that your behavior has been disruptive, Jaime, I acknowledge that mine was, too. I want to personally apologize to you for it.  While I did justify my edits on the talk page, I acknowledge that I should have placed a proposed rendition of the paragraph in question, which I've now done on the talk page.  After we resolve this paragraph, I'm going to take a little break from editing here on WP. Again, apologies.  Best, -Nietzsche123 (talk) 01:58, 22 October 2013 (UTC)


 * @Nietzsche123, I accept your apology. I look forward to working together with you to find a wording that is accurate and a fair rendition of the US News and World Report article. Another editor mentioned it that you have an unusual interest in the ICOC and it's problems, so I wanted to ask, were you personally hurt or negatively influenced by them in someway? JamieBrown2011 (talk) 19:16, 22 October 2013 (UTC)


 * Thank you, JamieBrown2011. I do have a particular interest in the ICOC, or at least its WP page. I'm just really busy right now with graduate work.  So while I would like to work on other articles too, I just can't make the time right now.  And yes, I was negatively influenced by the ICOC.  I was involved with a house church that based much of its beliefs and methodology on the ICOC. -Nietzsche123 (talk) 17:44, 24 October 2013 (UTC)

International Christian Churches
Hi there Jamie! I would like to talk and collaborate on the ICC page. I want a fair representation of the good bad and ugly. Can we talk? I am at 4168372046 timckernan@Gmail.com


 * @TimCKernan Vandalism is probably not your best approach to collaboration on a WP page. Please go and read WP:VANDAL JamieBrown2011 (talk) 15:28, 15 September 2014 (UTC)


 * @JamieBrown2011 I did not intend any vandalism. I think I pressed save and messed things up a bit. Sorry about that. That being said I do think that this page is not balanced at all. Can we discuss so that a fair and balanced page can come out of it? — Preceding unsigned comment added by TimCKernan (talk • contribs) 16:05, 15 September 2014 (UTC)


 * @JamieBrown2011 Automatically reverting edits is no way to edit on Wikipedia. This is an encyclopedic community. I have made comments in each of my edits and I feel that they are appropriate. You even reverted a formatting error that I corrected. Why? You need to explain yourself in comments or create a section in the Talk Page. CdHess (talk) 20:54, 23 September 2014 (UTC)
 * @CdHess, you removed a series of properly sourced edits from the page without proper explanation, which I restored, and then you added POV commentary onto the page. JamieBrown2011 (talk) 05:51, 24 September 2014 (UTC)
 * @JamieBrown2011 - I removed one edit from the introduction and I did explain why. I explained that McKean being disfellowshipped does not belong in the intro of the article. This fact is not necessary in the intro of an article. McKean being disfellowshipped is then discussed in detail later in the article. The other additions I made were not POV. They listed specific dates and simply added to what was already in the article. I did not remove any info. You should read carefully the content that is being put up and taken down before you revert the edits in a knee-jerk way. In no way have I made unreasonable edits to the article. CdHess (talk) 21:40, 24 September 2014 (UTC)
 * @CdHess, you are mistaken. WP Policies state: The lead should be able to stand alone as a concise overview. It should define the topic, establish context, explain why the topic is notable, and summarize the most important points, including any prominent controversies. ...controversies should neither be suppressed or allowed to overwhelm. By you removing the controversial aspects in the lead, you are going against WP Policy. JamieBrown2011 (talk) 04:43, 25 September 2014 (UTC)
 * @JamieBrown2011 - You are making the intro about McKean when you keep that last portion in there. There are plenty of things that are controversial about the ICC that can be mentioned. You focusing on the controversy of McKean alone is unreasonable and inappropriate. This portion would belong just fine in the article intro for McKean. As far as the ICC article, I think not. CdHess (talk) 20:58, 25 September 2014 (UTC)
 * @CdH, Since the ICC began because of and after McKean was ex-communicated from his previous church, that makes it a significant enough event to include. Feel free to add additional controversies to the lead section if you deem them necessary. JamieBrown2011 (talk) 06:20, 26 September 2014 (UTC)
 * @JamieBrown2011 - the ICC movement began years before Kip was disfellowshipped from the ICOC. I will be making additional edits to reflect that history. I hope that you will respect these edits and add to them as necessary. Thank you. CdHess (talk) 14:18, 26 September 2014 (UTC)
 * @CdH, you are talking about movements within the ICOC, however the ICC did not exist as a formal organization until after McKean was disfellowshipped as you put it, so trying to suppress that information will be in violation of WP policies. JamieBrown2011 (talk) 15:13, 26 September 2014 (UTC)
 * @JamieBrown2011 - You are correct in that the name came directly after McKean was disfellowshiped, but you are in error that the disfellowshipment was only directed toward McKean alone. Sure, he may have been the catalyst or whatever, but the entire Portland Movement was disfellowshipped. It is not fair to the history of the ICC to make the whole thing about McKean. CdHess (talk) 15:26, 26 September 2014 (UTC)
 * @CdH, there is a "history" section where you can flesh out those details.JamieBrown2011 (talk) 19:21, 26 September 2014 (UTC)
 * @JamieBrown2011 - Great! I will do that. I will also edit the intro to reflect that history since this article is about the ICC and not about McKean. Thanks! CdHess (talk) 19:28, 26 September 2014 (UTC)
 * @CdH, you know that is not what I was suggesting! You have the "history" section to add detail. The LEAD does not have to cover the detail you are suggesting. JamieBrown2011 (talk) 20:09, 26 September 2014 (UTC)
 * @JamieBrown2011 - I highly disagree with you. The intro for the ICC should cover the ICC. The intro for Kip McKean should cover Kip McKean. We will see how this all fleshes out in the community. As a reminder, this is not your personal page to edit as you see fit. I started this discussion in the hopes that we could come to agreement. Instead your only response is that my edits will be violating Wikipedia standards. You are mistaken. I too know Wikipedia and have been a registered user for years. Let's let the rest of the community decide the fate of this page. The community may be better at deciding the article's fate anyway since it is obvious that you have a clear bias in your edits. CdHess (talk) 20:28, 26 September 2014 (UTC)

@CdH, following the policies of Wikipedia concerning the lead section does not indicate bias. You have yet to show one policy that exempts the leader's controversy from his group.JamieBrown2011 (talk) 20:54, 26 September 2014 (UTC)
 * @JamieBrown2011 - The Five Pillars of Wikipedia state that the articles are to be encyclopedic. The sentence about McKean at the intro is disjointed and not inline with the previous sentences. If you take a look (from an objective viewpoint) it does not read well topically and therefore falls under the Editorial discretion guideline. I am here to create an accurate, balanced and informational article. Please remember that the goal of Wikipedia is to create a public encyclopedia. Don't get caught up in guidelines and semantics. Remember the 5th Pillar - Ignore all rules. -- CdHess (talk) 21:51, 26 September 2014 (UTC)

To be clear, Kip Mckean was never "disfellowshipped." Mckean was taken out of World Sector Leader leadership and as leader of the ICOC, transferred to Portland as their lead evangelist, and not kicked out of the ICOC. Later on, Mckean became dissatisfied that he was no longer the leader of the movement he started, chose to leave, and chose to start his own new movement. Qewr4231 (talk) 10:37, 5 May 2015 (UTC)

Kip Mckean made a rule that any leader whose child leaves the ICOC must step down from leadership. Kip's daughter, while studying at Harvard, and having her tuition paid by the ICOC, chose to leave the ICOC. Kip Mckean was forced to follow his own rule and step down as leader of the ICOC. Kip Mckean was then assigned to the Portland Church of Christ. That's how Kip Mckean got to Portland and eventually broke off from the ICOC and started the ICC.

International Christian Church recent edits
Hi Jamie, in this edit Trueandreasonable removed content on the basis that it was unsourced. That is a legitimate reason to remove content. Do you have a remedy for that? Thanks, Cyphoidbomb (talk) 16:30, 1 April 2016 (UTC)


 * @Cyphoidbomb, no problem, I will source those references. JamieBrown2011 (talk) 21:07, 1 April 2016 (UTC)
 * Much obliged, thank you. Cyphoidbomb (talk) 04:40, 2 April 2016 (UTC)


 * JamieBrown2011 The recent edit by Soupforone you reverted was to fix a typo I made and differentiate "Bible" vs "Whole Bible" which is a reason for the Icc's core conviction on the matter as they differentiate themselves from the restoration movement with this ideology. I would put it back as the other guy had it.  Just my two cents. Coachbricewilliams28 (talk) 17:26, 8 June 2017 (UTC)

International Churches of Christ
Hi there, you've probably noticed that we're edging on an edit war regarding your removal of content from the article International Churches of Christ. You cite WP:UNDUE as your justification, but I'm having a hard time understanding your rationale. If your concern is a lack of references citing the claim, I'm happy to provide more as it's somewhat well covered. In the spirit of the bold, revert, discuss cycle, I'd appreciate your feedback. Thanks! Drewmutt ( ^ᴥ^ ) talk  16:04, 30 May 2018 (UTC)
 * Drewmutt ( ^ᴥ^ ) talk  thanks for opening the discussion. Yes, I removed that edit not because it isn't sourced but because there is already a better and more accessibly sourced criticism of the ICOC on college campuses . Adding another paragraph of essentially the same thing comes across as ...UNDUE. Happy to hear your perspective. JamieBrown2011 (talk) 06:10, 31 May 2018 (UTC)

Hello again
Hi there, I noticed you undid my edit on International Christian Church citing that the source was not self-sourced. According the source's own "About us" section: Icoc HotNews was created by Mike and Justin with the simple goal of making available information and news from the ICOC (International Church of Christ) congregations around the world.. I have a hard time seeing how that isn't a self-sourced. Feedback welcome! Drewmutt ( ^ᴥ^ ) talk  21:14, 22 August 2018 (UTC)
 * Hey Drewmutt, the church Page we are editing is the International Christian Church, the newspaper you are referring to is the International Church of Christ. Two different organizations. Also, ICOC HotNews has professional journalists on their editorial board, so one assumes it passes as RS.JamieBrown2011 (talk) 21:22, 22 August 2018 (UTC)

Notability
Your edit summary here on International Churches of Christ is a problem. I agree with the removal (for other reasons), but your claim of the material failing WP notability is not valid. Notability is not a valid reason to remove content. Please read WP:NN, in particular WP:NOTEWORTHY Meters (talk) 05:02, 23 February 2019 (UTC)


 * Meters (talk) Thanks, good point. You mention it should be removed for “other reasons” Is UNDUE a more relevant policy or are you thinking of something else? JamieBrown2011 (talk) 05:45, 24 February 2019 (UTC)
 * See the article's talk page. There were several valid reasons for removing that material, but notability was not one of them. According to the cited source there was no mention of public perception related to the issue, so calling that a public perception issue appeared to be the editor's opinion. Even had there been a source that explicitly commented on public perception of the church related to this incident I think it would have been undue.. A bereaved family member pointing the finger at the church is not something we need to mention. Meters (talk) 06:17, 24 February 2019 (UTC)

College Campuses
Hello JamieBrown2011, just wondering what your rationale is for reverting the edit "Added alternative names used by affiliated campus ministries" by IP user 73.158.117.105 on the page International Churches of Christ. It seems factual and pretty innocuous. In the meantime, I reverted your undo. I'm happy to discuss further to reach an agreeable path forward on how to deal with this. LignorA (talk) 23:21, 15 November 2020 (UTC)

@LignorA, if you go read the sources you will see why I reverted the edit. They either have nothing to do with the content being submitted or come from sources that are clearly not WP:RS JamieBrown2011 (talk) 07:49, 16 November 2020 (UTC)

Welcome to Wikipedia. Everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia. However, discussion pages are meant to be a record of a discussion; deleting or editing legitimate comments, as you did at Talk:International Churches of Christ, is considered bad practice, even if you meant well. Even making spelling and grammatical corrections in others' comments is generally frowned upon, as it tends to irritate the users whose comments you are correcting. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you. Cordless Larry (talk) 22:09, 3 September 2023 (UTC)

US College Campuses
Hello, JaimeBrown2011. I'm trying to improve the International Churches of Christ Wikipedia page, but my edits have been reverted twice by you. While I appreciate that you cited WP:UNDUE and WP:WEIGHT, I don't understand how my edits violate either policy. Please help me understand on the article's Talk page. Thank you and best regards, WW. Walterkwhite (talk) 15:09, 2 July 2022 (UTC)


 * @Walter, if you read those policies mentioned above, my edits become self explanatory. There has been extensive discussion (see the history on the talk page)on how much coverage should be given to one aspect (US campus colleges) to an organization spread over 150 nations. Adding more text and weight to one aspect is WP:UNDUE JamieBrown2011 (talk) 08:52, 4 July 2022 (UTC)


 * @Jamie, I read WP:UNDUE and I'm not sure that my edits violate it. The US College Campuses section currently comprises 627 of the ICOC article's 5,706 words. While reading WP:UNDUE I read WP:NPOV. I would think that my edits are more in line with WP:NPOV: they provide both the source comments and ICOC's responses. Agreed that the ICOC is spread across many countries, but most members live in the US, no? They also mainly have recruited and still recruit on US college campuses (as opposed to colleges around the world), no? Anyway, I hope that you had a good holiday weekend. Thank you and best regards, WW. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Walterkwhite (talk • contribs) 19:00, 6 July 2022 (UTC)
 * @Jaime, hope you're doing well. Saw that you undid my edits to the ICOC page. Did you see my comment above? I reinserted my edits because my points remain. Thank you and best regards, WW. Walterkwhite (talk) 03:34, 31 July 2022 (UTC)
 * @Jaime, hello. Hope you're doing well. I saw that you deleted quotations from chaplains at Holy Cross and MIT. The Holy Cross quotation links to a Web site with an address that contains the term 'blog'. I guess you saw 'blog' in the address and thought the quotation was from a blog. It appears you also thought the statement from the MIT chaplain was also from a blog because you deleted that too. But neither statement is from a blog. Rather, they're from articles published by those colleges, which I believe meet the criteria for RS. The Holy Cross news site just contains the term 'blog' in its site. This is fairly common for news sources. If you scroll to the bottom of the article you'll see the chaplain's name, date of publications, etc. So I'm reinserting the quotations. Thank you and best regards, WW Walterkwhite (talk) 13:46, 23 August 2022 (UTC)
 * @Walter, you would need to take that to the RS board before re-inserting. I have never heard of school newspapers regarded as sources to be used for an encyclopedia. You could quote them on social media I guess but not here. JamieBrown2011 (talk) 07:21, 25 August 2022 (UTC)
 * @Jaime, good evening. Thanks for the tip. Do you know how I take it to the RS Board? I reviewed WP:RS and don't see how college newspapers would be unreliable sources for quoting college chaplains. Thank you and best regards, WW Walterkwhite (talk) 01:00, 31 August 2022 (UTC)
 * @Jaime, hello. How do we take this to the RS Board? College newspapers are great resources for reporting on what their chaplains say about a religious group on campus. Certainly seems worthy of an encyclopedia to me. Thank you and best regards, WW Walterkwhite (talk) 02:43, 26 September 2022 (UTC)
 * @Walter, go to the RS noticeboard and ask. Until you get approval from them to use school newspapers on Wikipedia I highly recommend you do not keep inserting low quality material into the ICOC Page. JamieBrown2011 (talk) 07:51, 28 September 2022 (UTC)
 * @Jaime, please cite the "low quality material" that you're referring to. I have not been reinserting the quotations by college chaplains from their university newspapers. Rather, you've been deleting additional material without justification. I will go the RS Noticeboard first before the college chaplain material is reinserted, if it's reinserted at all that is. I cannot imagine them having an issue with university newspapers being a reliable source about the ICOC's interactions on university campuses; but I'll check with them. That said, I notice that much of the ICOC page currently cites ICOC sources. I'm not sure that the ICOC itself can be a reliable source of its own WP page. So I will bring this up to the RS noticeboard too. I imagine that some of this page will have to be re-written if it cannot be supported with citations from reliable third-party sources.

 * Jaimebrown2011 This user: Cordless Larry commented below about the mass deletion on the icoc talk page but frankly, I was ok with it. Users who were former members of the ICOC/Offshoots tend to use the page as their personal blog.  For example  Matthewrb is in league with  Muzikman7182 who formally used this username: Clipadilla1975 at one point even edited my personal sandbox to add in his "cult" edits. User: D219 ^ formally known as Qewr4231 was semi-banned from posting on wiki due to soapboxing about McKean as we both recall. This user can be seen from at least 4 separate Anon accounts messaging/commenting and pressing this agenda yet again:  HERE, HERE, HERE & HERE.   It wouldn't shock me if users:   "Non0hyah, Muzikman7182 , SagaciousPig & CodeTalker "  all came from the SF area or NJ as the same IP based on the activity in their corresponding anti-icoc social media forums. These individuals all have valid experiences with this church, but their agenda is decidedly non-academic. Although you and I have some history of bantering ourselves, I have no desire to see ANY encyclopedia page edited by individuals with an aversion to NPOV policy. I wouldn't have the administrative experience to do something about this but it certainly should be escalated to Wiki-mods to ensure an influx of non-academic edits.

 * Nice try but you are breaking WP:BLOCKEVASION by having 5 or more accounts. I posted zero personally identifiable information about you, nor would I. That would be against WP rules. I am here because you and others openly boasted online about your intentional WP:VANDAL actions. Additionally, I have no interest in advancing McKean's agenda nor am I paid by him. In fact, I haven't editted THIS page in 4 years. It is THIS CATEGORY of baseless claims that led to your discipline the first time. This is an encyclopedia, not your personal soapbox. Move alone or your IP is going to be reported. Coachbricewilliams28 (talk) 03:58, 4 September 2023 (UTC)
 * @Coachbricewilliams28 I resent being accused of being "in league with" anyone. My only change to International Churches of Christ was to remove an obvious copyright violation from the page - clearly we can't violate copyright. ~  Matthewrb  Talk to me &middot;  Changes I've made 04:48, 4 September 2023 (UTC)
