Hi Jason - I am happy to help, and will leave my comments here. The first thing about creating an article is notability. Now, I do think that Chandler is notable, especially as president of the Acts 29 Network. Then the next thing is references - we need lots of them. Your paragraph on biography contain a lot of claims - where do they come from? E.g. "Matt says his character was partially shaped by John Piper".

I think a short paragraph on theological views would be appropriate, but Chandler doesn't seem to hold to very much out of the ordinary. A sentence on each point (with references) would be enough.

Finally, the ethos section is doubtful. It looks like your opinion of him. And who are you to say what is important or distinctive about his ministry? This is what we call original research. To take Mark Driscoll as an example, his cussing had been noted by others as a feature of his ministry, but it isn't even in the article - though I think it probably could be. So, with Chandler, it will become a question of whether reliable, third party sources note his use of "bro", or his honesty about what Scripture says.

I hope this helps. StAnselm (talk) 21:06, 18 October 2012 (UTC)Reply

Does anyone have a Wiki friendly image of Chandler? Also what other needs are there for this entry?Preston A. Vickrey (humbly) (talk) 13:12, 21 October 2012 (UTC)Reply

Thank you

edit

Thank you for the advice! The claims I made in the biography section have not all been cited yet because many of them were found in an interview by mark driscoll found here: http://theresurgence.com/2008/05/08/interview-with-matt-chandler-video I am not sure how to cite this. Also, the itunes claim in the lead section can be found just by going on itunes to the religion and spirituality section of the podcasts, how should I cite that? ClemsonScholar4 (talk) 02:26, 19 October 2012 (UTC) Also, am I allowed to cite his sermons for his theological views? ClemsonScholar4 (talk) 02:45, 19 October 2012 (UTC)Reply


I hope I did that right... I have to move what I have to the mainstream tonight for a first draft grade so I had to rid my sandbox of stuff not yet completed, I am not done but need to move it now. ClemsonScholar4 (talk) 04:21, 19 October 2012 (UTC)Reply

A lot of people cite videos by saying the time on the video at which something is said. For example, Chandler says he worked as a janitor 3 minutes 45 seconds into the Driscoll interview video. StAnselm (talk) 05:50, 19 October 2012 (UTC)Reply
I've added a note about his Reformed theology - this was at 9.49 in the video. StAnselm (talk) 06:24, 19 October 2012 (UTC)Reply


BLP Tag

edit

I killed the BLP sources tag, I think the article has more than enough sources to not need that anymore ReformedArsenal (talk) 02:09, 8 December 2012 (UTC)Reply

Village Church page

edit

Why does a search for the Village Church lead to this page? Should we create a page for that church? It is certainly notable. Was it previously moved into this article? Does anyone know enough about it to create such an article? Flofor15 (talk) 19:33, 17 July 2013 (UTC)Reply

Clean-up and more info

edit

I have done some clean-up, including moving sections from the introduction to the biography, filling in holes in the biography and adding a part about his becoming president of Act 29. I mean this only to help the article be readable and concise. Please let me know if any of my changes are unacceptable. Thank you! Flofor15 (talk) 15:14, 18 July 2013 (UTC)Reply

Value for the local church was restored?

edit

It's not very clear what "value for the local church was restored," means. Hackwrench (talk) 19:43, 31 May 2015 (UTC)Reply
