Quotation from Mark Galli

[edit]

An edit has been made (which I have reverted twice) which changes a word in a direct attributed quotation from Mark Galli from "hearers" to "listeners". Mark Galli is only 66 and is still the editor in chief of a magazine with a very large circulation. Oxford English Dictionary does not show "hearer" as obsolete, and a search on Google News shows the word still in use; even if it was obsolete, a direct quotation should not be edited in this way.--PeterR2 (talk) 12:24, 12 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

James Moore painting

[edit]

The caption said painted after 1951. A typo, I think. Have changed to 1751. Also changed "after" to "before". Round about this time Whitefield became corpulent (as a result of heart failure?). The painting looks more like the one found in James Paterson Gledstone's "George Whitefield M.A., Field-Preacher" (London: Hodder and Stoughton, 1900) which says it was of Whitefield at 29. A colour copy of that portrait is located at John Street United Methodist Church, New York City and is on public display. A copy (of a copy of a copy?, the artwork is not the same) can be viewed here: https://artuk.org/discover/artworks/george-whitefield-17141770-204335/search/keyword:westminster-college/page/2— Preceding unsigned comment added by 212.159.190.76 (talk) 23:21, 2 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
