Photo and Sword of Spirit Affiliation[edit]

Hi editors! I have included a link to sword of the spirit website. This contains info on Collela's role as a religious coordinator in a charismatic christian group, and the photo as requested may be found on this page for inclusion in the article. Linn C Doyle (talk) 20:19, 27 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you! Unfortunately that photo cannot be used because it is not freely-licensed. Arbitrarily0 ^(talk) 22:10, 27 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Referencing[edit]

There seems to be a fair few clearly self-published references and some not reliable sources to boot. Is this appropriate for wiki standards? Linn C Doyle (talk) 20:19, 27 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Linn, most of the sources here are news articles. Perhaps you're referring to this one though? It's okay to include because it is invoked to show the Colella's opinion on tax reform. It isn't invoked to establish notability, for example. Arbitrarily0 ^(talk) 22:14, 27 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

~~... that Anton Colella, the CEO of Moore Global, began his career as a theology teacher?~~ Sources: "The Glaswegian religious studies teacher's appointment as a deputy head in Castlemilk in 1999 sparked a rocket-like career trajectory" ... after graduation Colella "chose to become a teacher of RE" (Herald); Colella "has no obvious background for his new role, other than one in a challenging leadership position, having been a religious education teacher in the Catholic sector before moving into school management" (TES)

New enough, long enough, neutrally written, well referenced, no close paraphrasing seen. Please check the reorganization that I did on the article. The lead is rather cluttered and does not need any of those uncontroversial cites. The hook is okay, but I'm wondering if it would attract more attention to speak of him becoming the CEO of several organizations, including the Institute of Chartered Accountants of Scotland, without having an MBA? QPQ done. Yoninah (talk) 00:26, 13 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Yoninah: I think your reorganization is good; thanks for that. I did some simplification of the intro paragraph -- what do you think? I'm very open to a hook about his lack of an MBA, but I feel like businessmen who lack MBAs aren't very rare; am I wrong? Arbitrarily0 ^(talk) 18:25, 13 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Arbitrarily0: What interests me is his heading an organization of accountants without any background in accounting! What about:
ALT1: ~~... that in 2006, Anton Colella became chief executive of the Institute of Chartered Accountants of Scotland, though his only qualifications were teaching Catholic theology?~~ Yoninah (talk) 22:10, 13 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Yoninah: I like this! I could also see this working without "in 2006"; either way. Arbitrarily0 ^(talk) 23:06, 13 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks. So let's write:
ALT1a: ... that Anton Colella was named chief executive of the Institute of Chartered Accountants of Scotland though his only qualifications were teaching Catholic theology?
Since I proposed the hook, we need someone else to complete this review. Pinging Kingsif or evrik for help here. Yoninah (talk) 23:12, 13 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

ALT1a is fine to me. SL93 (talk) 00:07, 22 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
