Thank you for your message on my Talk page. I think it would be very difficult to provide an authorative article on the "Doctrines of William Branham" because there are so many different views among his followers (of whom I am one!). I think WB's most controversial doctrines among other churches are probably the Trinity, serpent seed, and the role of women. A general overview of these and other subjects would be good. Weaver's book is not without its own bias ("Branham was a victim of his own illusions", 2000,p173) and errors ("He believed that the final manifestation of his gift would transform physical bodies into the glorified ones necessary for the rapture", 2000, p173). Some of Weaver's conclusions can be easily disproved by reference to the over 1,000 audio sermons and transcripts online. It is also worth noting that WB had more in common with the evangelical and pentecostal churches than is often realized because the focus is usually only on differences.

Is any of this worth changing/reverting/etc? — Rlevse • Talk • 10:00, 24 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I think it is ok. I will add Tecumseh's curse to the see also section. That part is a legend, and was noted as such, but it is a popular and well known legend which is why I considered worthy of inclusion. But I guess it could be undue weight.

Hello! Your submission of George Washington Buckner at the Did You Know nominations page has been reviewed, and there still are some issues that may need to be clarified.

Hello, Battle of Tippecanoe, an article I recently placed for an A class review was supported by three editors to receive A class status. I am not a member of MilHist and unfamiliar with the the procedure - can I now give the article a MilHist A class rating, or is there a formal process for this that will occur? Any help would be appreciated. :) Charles Edward (Talk) 00:56, 27 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for nominating the Buckner article for a DYK. I have modified the article to clarify Buckner's diplomatic status. He was, in fact, the first African American to be chief of a United States diplomatic mission. At the time of his appointment, the mission in Monrovia was technically a legation, a step below an embassy. After World War II, the United States upgraded all of its legations to embassy status. As "minister resident" in Liberia, Buckner was for all practical purposes an ambassador. -- Cuppysfriend (talk) 22:20, 27 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks! Its a great article so far. Charles Edward (Talk) 01:11, 28 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I noted that you decided that a section was too much for the following: The Great Lakes Circle Tour is a designated scenic road system connecting all of the Great Lakes and the St. Lawrence River.<ref>[http://www.great-lakes.net/tourism/circletour/ Great Lakes Circle) I am not necessarily disagreeing with that. However, you might have considered simply deleting the separate section and not the content. I know it's easiest to click "undo", but sometimes that's not the most constructive path. Think about it. Happy editing. Best regards. ~~~~ Stan
