Untitled

I'm looking to create several pages related to the First Unitarian Church Los Angeles. Your help would be appreciated.

• Caroline Maria Severance (abolitionist, suffragete, the first women to legal register to vote in California)
• Stephen Hole Fritchman (editor of the Christian Register, liberal activist)
• Allison and Allison (architects of many Los Angeles landmarks including Royce Hall)

Please do not create an article about the church you preside over. 69.181.249.92 (talk) 00:28, 14 July 2010 (UTC)

Question - why does a self-proclaimed religious person feel that conflict of interest ethics don't apply to them? 69.181.249.92 (talk) 00:49, 14 July 2010 (UTC)

Answer - The article is not about me it's about a church in Los Angeles that has a 133 year history. The article is well-researched and well-referenced. The history of the church is important far beyond the church itself. This is not a puff piece. I think the tone is neutral. And once the article is published I'm very eager to see what kids of changes people will want to make to what I've got started here.Revricky (talk) 18:30, 14 July 2010 (UTC)

It doesn't matter if it's not about you personally - it's about a church with which you have a close personal connection. What part of "conflict of interest" is not getting through to you? 69.181.249.92 (talk) 01:02, 14 July 2010 (UTC)

I understand conflict of interest. What I don't understand is what you see in the article that reveals a conflict of interest? The article is filled with facts that anybody could have written. And I've tried to be thorough in referencing sources that anyone can check. Are there particular sentences you would like removed?Revricky (talk) 18:30, 14 July 2010 (UTC)

Poetry

What's about The "Unitarian Poetry group" (FrancEyE, Stanley Kurnik in 1950-60' ? Here. thank's. -Mikeread (talk) 10:11, 3 February 2011 (UTC) Who better than someone who knows the Church and it's history to write it? Who else would do it? I knew Stephen Fritchman and the facts of the church's history. What was written was unemotional and factual. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Beacheagles2 (talk • contribs) 16:25, 12 August 2012 (UTC)

Contributor

I'm a General Contributor, and as that outranks a Major Contributor, I'm removing the conflict-of-interest tag. In any case, the major conflict of interest was with the House Un-American Activities Committee and the FBI. —Pawyilee (talk) 10:50, 26 August 2014 (UTC)
