Also, I see you've added birthdate/place info. to the Woodrow M. Kroll article. While this information is certainly needed to improve his Wikipedia biography, please provide the source for it. The accuracy of Wikipedia information, especially in the case of Biographies of Living Persons, makes this necessary (see also WP:BLP). I've tagged this "citation needed" for the time being.

  • Thanks for the input. Since I can't independently verify Dr. Kroll's birthdate I removed that, but I did find an article that mentioned where he grew up, so I referenced that. In the paragraph that mentioned the accreditations his school earned, I provided links to the wiki pages of those organizations. In the case of the AABC, the name has changed since the accredidation, but I left the name as it was, but piped it to the page with the current organization name. Perhaps a redirect page is in order? I'll be honest, I'm an employee of Back to the Bible and recognize the potential conflict of interest. So I value any outside assistance in keeping my POV neutral.

\color{Red} \oplus Please give my regards to Dr. Kroll -- he knows me personally from Bermuda Airport! You have done exactly the right thing: Wikipedia guidelines for biographies of living persons do encourage biographees or their staff to contact us for correction of factual errors and for the inclusion of other information that would be appropriate for improvement of the biographical article, but preferably edited by a neutral editor other than the biographee himself or employee. Considering the source, I've included his birthdate info. I have a couple of other questions: what is his Mother's name? was AABC the American Association of Bible Colleges or Accrediting Association of Bible Colleges, as that article states? - Regards, Jim/ JGHowes talk - 21:07, 18 December 2007 (UTC)
