Assessment comments The following comments were left by the assessors: (edit · refresh) I am very concerned that your best intentions to distribute knowledge of Christianity is going to end up being muddled by unbelievers and religious Christians who have no knowledge of bible doctrine. Bogus material has already been added to this site. Paster Thieme never left out the Love of God; there was no insert added to the Christian Integrity book. And Pastor Thieme always taught salvation is "faith alone in Jesus Christ alone," but where in this article was this stated? Why not allow R.B. Thieme ministries state their own doctrines and tenents? This is in fact what you are looking for. It is accurate to state that Pastor Thieme is a major voice in Christianity, however, he is by no means the only voice in Christianity. This is going to be the biggest mess! Oh my goodness! How to fix it? Perhaps notify Berachah Church of your intentions and request help directly from them. I guess I should add that I am available to do quick scans for false doctrines that are going to pop up. Paster Thieme is my minister.

[edit] Notability

This page should not be destroyed. Thieme's ministry has had effect on policy makers of the United States government. In fact, more needs to be said but I have an exam really soon. So hold off on destroying it for like a week at least.

Stub, no more! Included citations.

[edit] Help please

Just FYI, copy edits shouldn't just throw information around willy-nilly. Try to use "ref" tags for sources which have already been cited, especially Wall's and Campo's dissertations. Please do not quote sources without citing them (I had to reword some glaring plagiarism from Wall's thesis; it was so blatant and large that I actually remembered the words from last time I read the thesis a few months ago). Also avoid gratuitous links outside wiki, as this is not the place to advertise the home page of a discussion forum or blog (by the way, blogs are not considered reliable sources, so avoid citing them).

Try to keep sections together in some logical format, such as controversial quotes all on the same topic. Keep biographical section in the biography, and controversy with controversy. Try to keep spacing and grammar and general good writing practices. Remember to keep a neutral point of view as well, this isn't the place to criticise, but critics can be cited in the appropriate section.

All of these "best practices" above are part of wiki's general idea. Thanks to everyone who is contributing information though, there are a number of sources I hadn't heard of before including the recent unauthorized bio. --shift6 21:12, 23 August 2007 (UTC)
