James MacDonald

Links to websites like http://www.harvestchristianacademy.org/ aren't enough - what is needed are independent references that confirm that MacDonald was responsible for their development else this article is developing into and article about HCA not MacDonald.

Academic Citation

I have a fellow user who is noting that I need to cite an academic credential on a bio page of a living person. I linked to the Seminary page on Wikipedia which lists the person as a graduate. That was rejected.

Still learning . . . how do you "prove" that a person graduated from an academic institution in a manner that aligns with Wikipedia?

Supply a link to something print or web based that is independent of MacDonald but contains a biography or cv for him. An alternative would be the seminary's own web site. NtheP (talk) 18:48, 25 October 2012 (UTC)
