To-do list for Dominion of Melchizedek: edit · history · watch · refresh

Here are some tasks you can do:
  • Requests: The additions to this To-Do List are currently the proposals of only one editor and may not reflect consensus of other participating editors. You are requested to first seek consensus on this talk page before making any substantial edits.
  • Verify: Since this article is a controversial topic, all references are required to be at a higher standard. References not sourced to reliable secondary sources need to be, as far as is possible. Those that are not need to be more closely scrutinized. Less reliable secondary sources could do well by being double-referenced to primary sources. Some material may be best left out if reliable secondary sources are not available.
  • Cleanup: 1) While this article is not strictly a biography of living persons, it should probably be treated like one in many respects, especially the sections naming names. See WP:BLP and When adding material to the biography of a living person. 2) This article suffers from some Weasel words (see WP:AWW) and Claims of Consensus here and there. Each should instead specify a reliable secondary source. 3) Scrutinize article to ensure it contains no Original Research (see WP:NOR), specifically that there are no editor "connections" made between non-connecting source claims.
  • NPOV: 1) This article lacks a sufficient section on DoM history and the bases of their claims from their own perspective as found at their website, which should be added to contribute to NPOV. 2) An improved Intro needs to be written, since it only gives one side and does not summarize the whole article well.
  • Other: 1) Could we re-work all references to be footnoted style using Wikicite? 2) Please add to this box as appropriate.

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Arms Melchizedek.GIF

Image:Arms Melchizedek.GIF 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 Wikipedia articles 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.

If there is other 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.BetacommandBot 19:28, 31 May 2007 (UTC)
