Draft:Christian Study Centers
Hi Sam. You have enough independent references. I've listed them temporarily at the bottom of the reference section. It is a very interesting article. Good work, especially on the history. I am going to reorganize the article a bit, then ask you what you think of it. An encyclopedia article is mostly statements of facts. This makes it different from a magazine article or essay. The first paragraph will be a definition of the topic and a summary of the article. StarryGrandma (talk) 16:23, 10 April 2015 (UTC)
 * Hi again. I ended up reorganizing the article and making the wording more encyclopedic. More "who, what, where, when, why, and how" and less like a mission statement. :Let me tell you a bit about the changes I made. It turned out that the references weren't as independent as I thought, but there is enough independent coverage. I replaced references from primary sources with those from secondary sources where I could. See No original research for an explanation. Christian study centers have been around for long time. It was confusing to talk about the first Christian Study Center (with capitals) so I rewrote that. I found an online readable version of the new appendix to Noll's Jesus Christ and the Life of the Mind published in First Things. I put that in further reading but removed the comment from it in the article. I couldn't find any sources that talked about the centers staff and volunteers, so I took that out. Maybe something will turn up later.
 * On the housekeeping side, I took out most of the external links. Wikipedia doesn't provide a directory. I also cut down the list of categories; you just need the lowest level category in any topic, not the parent categories too.
 * Let me know if you think my changes are OK. If they are I will approve it;


 * Conflict of interest
 * Since you are on the staff of the Consortium of Christian Study Centers you do have a conflict of interest when you edit about it on Wikipedia. The Wikipedia community will worry that you might not be neutral when you edit. You need to put a notice on your talk page. I'll look up the proper form and let you know what to do.
 * StarryGrandma (talk) 05:41, 11 April 2015 (UTC)
 * Actually you just need to put a short sentence on your user page, not your talk page: "Conflict of Interest (COI) disclosure: I work for the Consortium of Christian Study Centers." And read Conflict of interest. StarryGrandma (talk) 18:06, 12 April 2015 (UTC)

Wonderful! Thanks so much for your tremendous help. I added the COI disclosure on the user page.
