The Amazon review by Jeffrey N. Furtaw has nothing to do with Harold Camping, but wit the book "Shepherding a Child's Heart" about spanking infants with a rod. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Kilowattradio (talk • contribs) 09:28, 7 March 2007.

"Teachings & Beliefs" section

It seems to me that the "Teachings & Beliefs" section should cite literature by or about Camping, not the Bible itself, since many Christians and Jews would disagree with his interpretation of those verses. This resource should help. PSWG1920 (talk) 01:18, 10 March 2008 (UTC)

Agreed, removed statements that sourced only the Bible, retained one statement that sourced Family Radio website. Brianhe (talk) 00:09, 1 May 2008 (UTC)
There is a new article by Sollog criticising Camping for his many translation errors and his date for the end of the universe. I added it to "Further Reading" but perhaps it should be put in the "Teachings & Beliefs" section instead.Arnold1 (talk) 03:38, 7 May 2008 (UTC)

7 May 2008 As a suggestion, perhaps material and links providing "review, opinion and critique" of published works should not be included in the "teachings and beliefs" of this encyclopedic/biographical site. By definiton, this site is intended to be an encylopedic/biographical site of a contemporary teacher of the Bible foremost. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.192.128.176 (talk) 19:15, 7 May 2008 (UTC)

7 May 2008 The annotations (link) editorialize as detractor and critic, but they do not provide unbiased encyclopedic/biographical content. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.247.112.136 (talk) 23:43, 7 May 2008 (UTC)

8 May 2008 02:37(pst) approx. After reviewing Wiki's BLP ("Biographies of living persons (BLPs) must be written conservatively, with regard for the subject's privacy. Misplaced Pages is an encyclopedia, not a tabloid; it is not our job to be sensationalist, or to be the primary vehicle for the spread of titillating claims about people's lives. An important rule of thumb when writing biographical material about living persons is "do no harm."), the annotations may be considered in violation of Wiki's BLP, in addition to being unsuitable as encylopedic/biographical. Annotations may also be categorized similarly as the titles of content (audio) suggest, but they could not be accessed at this time. Additionally, annotation is detractor/editorial opinion, and contains content violating Wiki's BLP. Consequently, annotations have been removed. Redundant links listed in this site: "Major Errors in Harold Camping's "We Are Almost There"" ; White, James R. (2002). "Dangerous Airwaves: Harold Camping's Call to Flee the Church". Christian Research Journal (25.1). have also been removed. The "Articles and links opposing the Depart Out Teachings of Harold Camping otherwise known as Campingism" contains abundant Wiki BLP content violations, and therefore is removed as encylopedic/biographical reference materials/links.
