Hello and thank you for disclosing on your user page that you are being paid by D. James Kennedy Ministries to edit Wikipedia on their behalf. Please now familiarise yourself with the rules on paid editing. You can make very limited edits on the article relating to the Ministeries yourself but for all other changes you must make edit requests instead. Please reply to me here to confirm that you've read and understood these policies. Curb Safe Charmer (talk) 17:25, 6 April 2018 (UTC)Reply

Thank you. I have read the policy and understand the limitation to minor edits. I did add a list of Kennedy books, which was an item missing from his entry. Hopefully, that is a more scribal and not editorial contribution, per se. You can review and judge for yourself. Wikieditorjpa (talk) 01:28, 16 April 2018 (UTC)Reply

Article submissions declined edit

Hi, I noticed your article submissions are getting declined. The reason is that you have too many cites to Kennedy-affiliated sources, which are primary sources. In order for an article to to be approved you need in depth coverage in multiple secondary sources. They are very strict about that around here. That could be the New York Times, Washington Times, Fox News or even Christianity Today. Incidentally I read Draft:D. James Kennedy Ministries. While it's well written, I predict it will also be declined due insufficient secondary sources. If you have questions feel free to ask here WT:WikiProject Conservatism. – Lionel(talk) 10:14, 7 April 2018 (UTC)Reply

D. James Kennedy Ministries edit

Hi, the article needs a reference for each paragraph. Also, and this is optional, this article could use an infobox i.e. template:Infobox organization and a footer for all related articles would also be good e.g. Template:Focus_on_the_Family. – Lionel(talk) 07:36, 15 May 2018 (UTC)Reply


Okay, I'll work on the references. I see a few paragraphs lack them. Not sure about the infobox but will take a look at the example. Wikieditorjpa (talk) 00:06, 16 May 2018 (UTC)Reply

You know you should not be making major edits at D. James Kennedy Ministries edit

Please don’t do that again. Minor formal updates of positions, etc only. Doug Weller talk 20:00, 1 July 2022 (UTC)Reply

The last edit prior to today was 2018. Changes are needed. Please take a look and let me know.
Thank you. Wikieditorjpa (talk) 20:38, 1 July 2022 (UTC)Reply
Once again, update the name of someone holding a position, fine. Add unsourced material about people, a policy violation, see WP:V. The SPLC stuff, absolutely not and the next time you do that I will block you from editing the article, leaving you free to edit the talk page. Doug Weller talk 10:00, 2 July 2022 (UTC)Reply
I've updated the leadership information and provided source information.
This article is outdated and needs multiple edits to be current--including its references to SPLC leadership.
I'm particularly concerned about the first paragraph of the entry which cites the SPLC "hate group" designation WITHOUT any indication of DJKM's vigorous rejection of the hate label. It's unclear why that explosive charge is allowed to stand alone without a DJKM denial. Is doing so consistent with Wikipedia standards? Please reply.
Standing as it now does, it's pejorative and demonstrates bias to simply list SPLC's judgment and to do so without providing DJKM's response. I strongly recommend moving the SPLC charge into the defamation lawsuit dismissed" section below where it can be addressed with a more even-handed elaboration. And that section also needs to be updated to include last week's U.S. Supreme Court action on the lawsuit.
As time permits, I'll present copy for possible insertion here for your consideration or that of other editors. Wikieditorjpa (talk) 15:21, 6 July 2022 (UTC)Reply
@Wikieditorjpa this needs to take place at the article talk page. NOT here. It needs to be more public. Doug Weller talk 17:39, 6 July 2022 (UTC)Reply
okay, thanks, I'll post there. Wikieditorjpa (talk) 20:54, 6 July 2022 (UTC)Reply
please see section in talk page at D. James Kennedy Ministries proposing a section to balance the SPLC allegation about DJKM inserted at top of entry. Wikieditorjpa (talk) 21:12, 30 September 2022 (UTC)Reply
