Church of the Lord (Aladura) edit

The Relationship with Church of the Lord (Aladura), could be more clear. What is the relative significance of the different groups? The 'Church of the Lord' page could be helpful in improving the text of this one to make it more encyclopaedic. Probably both pages should be edited to compliment each other. EE~~

removing POV tag with no active discussion per Template:POV edit

I've removed an old neutrality tag from this page that appears to have no active discussion per the instructions at Template:POV:

This template is not meant to be a permanent resident on any article. Remove this template whenever:
  1. There is consensus on the talkpage or the NPOV Noticeboard that the issue has been resolved
  2. It is not clear what the neutrality issue is, and no satisfactory explanation has been given
  3. In the absence of any discussion, or if the discussion has become dormant.

Since there's no evidence of ongoing discussion, I'm removing the tag for now. If discussion is continuing and I've failed to see it, however, please feel free to restore the template and continue to address the issues. Thanks to everybody working on this one! -- Khazar2 (talk) 09:43, 21 July 2013 (UTC)Reply

Objectivity edit

A quick glance at this page by any regular Wikipedia user would show it was written almost entirely based on the beliefs and mythos of the Cherubim and Seraphim community itself. I have not gone through all the rules, but I know I have read some pages where such material had a warning at the top of the page. Something to show readers that most of what they are about to read is unverified, especially since the places where the author used such words and phrases as "many historians" had no reference. The one main reference [4], was obviously also written based on the mythos of the society, rather than proven facts or recorded history. I would suggest a warning label added to this page, until trustworthy references are brought forth, or the page is rewritten in an objective manner. Such pages, especially here in Nigeria, promote the "Anybody can put anything on Wikipedia" attitude that dampens the trust in this awesome information resource hub.

New POV tag edit

@Khazar2: I've restored the NPOV tag. My primary concern is the "Life of the founder" section, which is blatantly NPOV. Unsourced "records" supposedly indicate that the miraculous occurrences cited by C&S in re: Orimolade are true. The very word "records" is NPOV in and of itself in this context because we also have four records of the resurrection of Christ. No counter-examples are offered or citations of investigations done by critics, which for large churches, there are always critics. I'm sure there are other problems but this section is the worst offender. Psiĥedelisto (talk) 12:26, 2 November 2018 (UTC)Reply
