'Authorized changes' edit

Hi user:Lastmoriarity, your changes to the article Bible Society of India seem to be under the heading 'authorized changes'. Wikipedia is not an article to be used as a front by the organization. Your repeat reverts and changes (authorized changes) imply that you are connected with the respective organization. You may use the official web site for such 'authorized changes'.

Hi again. Thank you for your references on the Board and Leadership. At the same time, you might have seen that all Clergy, whether with doctorate or not have their prefixes with The Rev. However, their qualification has been put as a suffix. You might have seen the box on Translation Directors, whose prefixes have been kept as The Rev. You might have also noticed that 81% of the text inputs have been from my user account for the Bible Society of India, the same with articles on bios of Clergy who have been General Secretaries. However, caution has to be exercised on 'fake' or 'namesake doctorates', hence Smt. Leela Bose, Sri B. K. Pramanik and Smt. Leelavathi Manasseh do not have prefixes of Dr. before their names. At the same time, those with Ph. D. from recognized UGC institution (for example Serampore) still have their prefixes as The Rev. or Ms. depending on their ordination status but duly crediting their academics with a proper suffix. Again, all references have proper citations. As for Smt. Leelavathi Manasseh and Smt. Chhungi, your web site (Leadership) does not contain their names, and I had to depend on third party online verifable reference. Perhaps, here, you could make efforts to update your web site. I presume you might be from the BSI Central Office, Bangalore. You could also ensure that all issues of Sowing Circle are also made available online. That way getting access to online verifable references is much easier. Thank you. Meher Mansion (talk) 18:35, 27 September 2019 (UTC)Reply
