[edit] Categories

The preferred style is to put articles into the most specific possible categories and avoid the higher-level categories unless there's nothing else that fits. There are lots of articles that don't follow this, mainly because of the extent and tediousness of the work fixing it would take. But at least we can avoid adding to the problem.

Yes, I ask for you to undue the removal. Many of us who work on the unaccredited schools use that category to watch the pages. If anything the unaccredited theological category, I started, should be deleted. Arbusto 02:36, 30 September 2006 (UTC)

Your edits [1] at the Hamilton article are an excellent reason why both categories should be included. Had you read the article, it says, Hamilton had a church and used religious exemptions to get around laws. Thus, it claimed to be a theological school. Arbusto 02:51, 30 September 2006 (UTC)

I did read the article at Hamilton University. Just because a college claims religious exemption does not make it a seminary or theological college. I looked at their offical webpage. A Theological college would offer mainly Bible classes, this college (now Richardson) offers business and the like. You can't call something a seminary when their colleges don't offer some Bible major. Mgroop 13:45, 30 September 2006 (UTC)

Please note schools like Almeda University claim to be religious, but are clearly diploma mills. Arbusto 08:45, 30 September 2006 (UTC)

Currently we have three similar categories:

Category:Unaccredited institutions of higher learning
Category:Unaccredited Christian universities and colleges
Category:Unaccredited seminaries and theological colleges

I personally find it unncessary to have all three of these, and as it stands they don't make much sense. I was trying to make some sense of them yesterday with my edits. However, I am open to suggestions of better ways. Maybe combining these three into one category, and adding *Category:Christian universities and colleges to all the Bible colleges. Let me know your thoughts. Mgroop 14:22, 30 September 2006 (UTC)

I would suggest that Category:Unaccredited institutions of higher learning should be the main group, with the other two as sub-categories. I'm sure there are enough articles to make it worthwhile to have have the sub-categories. --Tim4christ17 ^talk 22:07, 1 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Invitation to WikiProject Southern Gospel

Hello I notice that you have provided some information in some of the Southern Gospel music articles. I would like to invite you to join WikiProject Southern Gospel! We need all of the help we can get! T. White 09:18, 5 November 2006 (UTC)

Well my knowledge on Southern Gospel is pretty limited, I mostly am aware of the "big" names, Gold City, The Cathedrals, and Legacy Five, and one of those doesn't sing anymore.

[edit] Your edits to The Politically Incorrect Guide to Islam (And the Crusades)

Hey there! I have removed the external links which you added to The Politically Incorrect Guide to Islam (And the Crusades), as they are not actually about the book itself. Because we try to keep external links as relative to the article as we can, and in this case, they were deemed to be unnecessary. If you wish to discuss this further, I've left a message on the article's talk page. --Sagaciousuk ^(talk) 20:43, 4 January 2007 (UTC)
