[edit] Compolo

I know that he's good friends with Clinton; I remember the big deal about his leaving Ron Brown's funeral with Clinton made by Rush Limbaugh. I've only heard him speak once, but it is probably the single most memorable speech that I've ever heard, and was very loosely based (according to him) on ideas from Max Weber's The Protestant Work Ethic and the Spirit of Capitalism. (It was also based on the famous sermon, "It's Friday, but Sunday's Coming".) I know that he is into social action, but I don't know if he is truly "left", although he certainly strikes me as well to the left of the public image of Baptists, which I think seems to be largely Jerry Falwell and Pat Robertson, who don't fit very well with many of the Baptists I know. I feel that he is, however, far more relevant to the topic in today's context that William Jennings Bryan, who is now an icon of fundatmentalism, or even President Carter, who seems to be increasingly a leftost to an extent (I hereby retract some of my earlier comments with regard to him). Thanks for caring about the article, and helping it. Rlquall 04:24, 29 Nov 2004 (UTC)

Thanks for your comments. Tony Campolo is certainly a controversial figure, as can be seen in part here [1] due to his rather unusual stances on a number of issues, and the way in which he presents his ideas. Ron Nash's book Why the Left is Not Right discusses the Christian Left in more detail, but from a religiously conservative view. Michaelh 06:30, 30 Nov 2004 (UTC)


[edit] Image Tagging Image:Utdallas gate.jpg

Warning sign
This media may be deleted.

Thanks for uploading Image:Utdallas gate.jpg. I notice the 'image' page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you have not created this media yourself then you need to argue that we have the right to use the media on Wikipedia (see copyright tagging below). If you have not created the media 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 media also doesn't have a copyright tag then you must also add one. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then you can use {{GFDL-self}} to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media qualifies as fair use, please read fair use, and then use a tag such as {{Non-free fair use in|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 media, 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. Dethomas 07:09, 11 March 2006 (UTC)

Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure 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.
