WikiProject Seventh-day Adventist Church To-do:

[edit] Additions

23. Christian views of marriage - Does that article need expanding?

19. 10 Commandments - Anything else for 19?

21. Stewardship (theology) - This needs serious expansion.

16. Eucharist - How about this?

Also, this article should outline differences (if any) between Adventist teaching and those in the articles referenced in one-two sentences. But good start. Shinhan 20:18, 11 September 2006 (UTC)

Thanks to the editor who recently expanded the beliefs by copying portions of the fundamentals. Unfortunately I believe this is a copyright violation, as I doubt the fundamentals are issued under the GNU Free Documentation License used by Wikipedia. Quotations may be alright, but not of this magnitude. Please rewrite them leaving a brief summary. Regards, Colin MacLaurin 12:07, 14 March 2007 (UTC)
I have a different problem with this: The addition is unsourced, so we can't verify either that it is an accurate representation of what the source says, or what the copyright of the source is. If (for instance) the source is a pre-1937 US source, or it is released into the public domain, quoting it is OK. But without a source, it shouldn't be on Wikipedia.
(The 1st link under "references" has them, (c) 2006, no usage rights granted - but in a form that makes what's here a significantly summarized version. So not QUITE a copypaste job.) --Alvestrand (talk) 19:06, 29 November 2007 (UTC)
I have returned that section to how it was before the editor copied the text in. We can't quote a copyrighted source like that - you'll need to write synopses in your own words. --Spike Wilbury ♫ talk 15:50, 30 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:SDAs believe.jpg

Image:SDAs believe.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.
