[edit] Benjamin Roden

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. Thank you for your contributions. There are a few lines in the Benjamin Roden article which aren't in line with our neutral point of view policy. For example:

"As a person who took his stand for truth when it was presented to him"

"together they labored faithfully"

"During the last year of his life, he was greatly comforted by the Lord"

And several others like these. They may or may not be true, but they aren't verifiable for the vast majority of our editors, indeed they seem like they are subjective advocacy, not objective reporting. There can be a good encyclopaedia article on Roden, his meeting with President Carter is a good case for his notability, but it shouldn't be as effusive as what is there now.

To that end, here are a few good links for newcomers:

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! By the way, you can sign your name on Talk and vote pages using three tildes, like this: ~~~.

[edit] Lois Roden

I've just had a look at the Lois Roden article, it is much more in line with what I am talking about. Respectful without being worshipful, with better conditioning of statements. Regards, Fire Star 01:13, 15 July 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Image Tagging Image:LoisIRoden.jpg

Warning sign
This image may be deleted.

Thanks for uploading Image:LoisIRoden.jpg. I notice the image page currently doesn't specify who created the image, so the copyright status is therefore unclear. If you have not created the image yourself then you need to argue that we have the right to use the image on Wikipedia (see copyright tagging below). If you have not created the image yourself then you should also specify where you found it, i.e., in most cases link to the website where you got it, and the terms of use for content from that page.

If the image also doesn't have a copyright tag then you must also add one. If you created/took the picture then you can use {{GFDL}} to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the image qualifies as fair use, please read fair use, and then use a tag such as {{fairusein|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags#Fair_use. See Wikipedia:Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other images, please check that you have specified their source and copyright tagged them, too. You can find a list of image pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any unsourced and untagged images will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. cohesion★talk 04:42, 22 January 2006 (UTC)
