[edit] C31 and CCCOF Split

Please note the pages for Christian City Churches International (this one) and CCC Oxford Falls have been split. This is to eliminate over crowding on this page. Please include any information on the movement here and any information on the specific church at its page. Duplication may occur in some cases, and should not be deleted if the information is relevent to both pages. User:russellocarroll

[edit] Material duplication and poor weighting

The long sections about Phil and Chris Pringle are duplicated in their own article. This is not acceptable and either that article must be deleted, or the detailed info here must be merged into their own article. For an article about a church, I do also think that it is a little too heavily slanted on the leaders, a mention here of who, when and why (in terms of the church's history) is appropriate, with a link to more detailed info elsewhere about the leaders. Currently the poor weighting of the article makes it look as if the leadership is the most important part of this church, rather than its mission - and I'm sure that is not the intention. To compare with an article about a movie - I would expect to see more much material about the plot than the cast. (I'll leave aside comments that these parts are written like a glossy brochure.)

Following sterling work by anon User:203.46.255.180, my comment above is no longer relevant. --Halsteadk 19:43, 15 May 2006 (UTC)

• • Any material deleted from this page - Must be included on the specific pages, not simply deleted - it is incredibly frustrating to find detailed information removed rather then moved. If the issue is duplication then fine, move the information do not simply delete it. User:russellocarroll

[edit] Weird Wording

What does "(currently has a membership of $6,000,000+)" in the History section actually mean. Can money be a member of something? And where does this figure come from?

It doesn't have a dollar symbol in the write up! It's talking about number of PEOPLE.

[edit] External links

The list of links in this article is inappropriately long and needs to be shortened. I propose that all except the CCC International link are removed, as all CCC websites can be easily accessed from there. Please see Wikipedia:External links for the basis of this. Halsteadk 19:46, 10 January 2007 (UTC)

Please note that I will remove the inappropriate links from the article if there are no objections made (in relation to the quoted Wikipedia guideline), in 7 days. Halsteadk 12:29, 13 January 2007 (UTC)

I agree with your proposal. -- Barrylb 14:56, 13 January 2007 (UTC)

Thanks. As there have been no objections and it is now 7 days, I have removed the links and added a hidden note to discourage re-adding. I suggest if links are re-added without going through discussion first, they are simply reverted. Halsteadk 12:09, 20 January 2007 (UTC)

Could a separate article for a list of CCC churches be a reasonable request? --Paradox CT 07:50, 13 March 2007 (UTC)

I've added a link to the c3i page that has links to all the member churches. The issue here is that there is too many links to the member churches in Wikipedia, they change quite often, and c3i does a better job of keeping that updated. peterl 11:16, 13 March 2007 (UTC)
