Recent Developments
plus seriously buffed up YWAM
 * New Category: Category:Former members of Evangelical parachurch organizations
 * New Articles: Dave Andrews, Bad apples excuse

Care to check my work? ClaudeReigns (talk) 11:50, 27 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Sure.. I'll try to get around to it.


 * Starting with item one... Regarding Former members of Evangelical parachurch organizations. GCC doesn't consider itself a parachurch organization, they consider themselves a church. In the 1991 Error Statement it reads:
 * "This allowed a prideful attitude to develop toward other churches, para‑churches, and organizations, a sinful attitude we deeply regret. ... Similarly, our convic­tions concerning the centrality of the local church as God's vehicle for evangelism and discipleship were communicated in such a way as to cause Bible schools, seminaries, and para‑church organizations to be viewed as 'un­scriptural.'"
 * So my only thought on the new category is that you are categorizing them as something they claim not to be, which could constitute OR without a source categorizing them as such. Perhaps just name it Former members of Evangelical organizations? Xanthius (talk) 17:31, 1 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Might further want to specify that it is Evangelical Christian organizations you are classifying. But maybe not. I guess it demands on what you're trying to accomplish/categorize with the category. Xanthius (talk) 17:36, 1 January 2008 (UTC)

Replaceable fair use Image:PaulRMartin.png
Thanks for uploading Image:PaulRMartin.png. I noticed the description page specifies that the media is being used under a claim of fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first non-free content criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed media could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information. If you believe this media is not replaceable, please:


 * 1) Go to the media description page and edit it to add, without deleting the original replaceable fair use template.
 * 2) On the image discussion page, write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license, or by taking a picture of it yourself.

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our non-free content criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on [ this link]. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, non-free media which could be replaced by freely licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if uploaded before 13 July 2006), per our non-free content policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Do you want to opt out of receiving this notice? Rettetast (talk) 15:54, 22 May 2008 (UTC)

Potters House Links
Hi, I'm concerned about the link you replaced on the Potter%27s_House_Christian_Fellowship page. I have serious doubts about the authenticity of this link since it is not the primary source and is not on a reliable site. This site is filled with unsourced and unverified negative information that is hearsay and low quality. If anyone can verify this reproduced source then I will agree with it remaining. I feel that since this reference is contended perhaps it should be moved to the discussion page? 124.149.63.82 (talk) 13:49, 3 March 2011 (UTC)
 * I have changed it to point to the rickross.com version. Xavthius (talk) 01:17, 4 March 2011 (UTC)

Accusations against you

 * Hi Xavthius: You are being accused of being "me" see Sockpuppet investigations/IZAK. Thanks, IZAK (talk) 22:44, 31 January 2013 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free image File:CultProofingYourKids.png
 Thanks for uploading File:CultProofingYourKids.png. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Stefan2 (talk) 21:29, 19 February 2015 (UTC)
