References

Something seems to be wrong with the references section of this page. The references show up, but wiki doesn't recognize they're there, and when you try and edit them, there's nothing there. Does anybody know how to correct this? doublet89 (talk)

I believe the references are edited in the paragraph. The links below are automatic. Paulshanks (talk) 18:49, 6 May 2008 (UTC)

Yes, but the references in the paragraph seem fine, don't they? doublet89 (talk)

I changed the formatting. Check them now. Do they look correct? I believe it is ref "bracket" url "space" name "close bracket" "close ref" Paulshanks (talk) 22:53, 6 May 2008 (UTC);

One of the references no longer works so I removed it...the other reference is questionable at best as a blog is not a factual medium and it purely opinion based and therefore not verifiable. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Dirkmavs (talk • contribs) 13:09, 7 May 2008 (UTC)

YES DIRK, THAT'S BECAUSE PRESTONWOOD'S MEDIA MINISTER, SCOTT SEAL, WAS CONTACTED BY PAULSHANKS AND REMOVED THE LINK IN AN EFFORT TO GET ANY CRITICAL INFORMATION ABOUT DR. GRAHAM OFF OF THIS PAGE. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Doublet89 (talk • contribs) 22:55, 8 May 2008 (UTC)

I don't know this that is true. I can certainly check on this. I can also check the reference in the history - it may be the link was not copied correctly. PaulShanks ^talk 00:35, 9 May 2008 (UTC)

Here is the link from the page as it was on 2008-02-21 06:16:10 added by doublet89 (talk):

http://resources.christianity.com/details/pbc/19000101/9290F735-33AF-45FC-83A3-2386D0699096.aspx

The section that says "19000101" is supposed to be the date. All of the archives on the PBC website have the date of the message in the link. The link must have been copied incorrectly. The reason it wasn't noticed before was because the links were not formatted correctly so they did not show up at the bottom of the page where they could be clicked until 2008-04-06 08:15:33 when SmackBot fixed the formatting. Dirkmavs noticed the link did not work and removed it. Please be careful of acusations.

Well that's because Prestonwood changed the date to "1900" some time back to BURY it. I found it and then Scott Seal, Prestonwood's media minister, removed it after a call from you, and attempting to find out who I was. Scott admited the removal of the link to me in writing. And, Google's cache of the page PROVES that the link was correct, but removed recently. See for yourself: http://64.233.169.104/search?sourceid=navclient-ff&ie=UTF-8&q=cache%3Ahttp%3A%2F%2Fresources.christianity.com%2Fdetails%2Fpbc%2F19000101%2F9290F735-33AF-45FC-83A3-2386D0699096.aspx

That is interesting. The cached page does actually say "Date: 1/1/1900". However, I have had no involvement or even communication with anyone regarding the website. Please don't make assumptions like that. Let's get the facts. Speculation is not good. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Paulshanks (talk • contribs) 16:24, 9 May 2008 (UTC)

So you deny having any communication with Scott Seals, who works in the same department at Prestonwood as you do? If so, you should be scared, very scared, because it would seem he is reading your email, which I understand happens to staff members at Prestonwood (a staff member told me that). Remember, the sermon wasn't always dated "1/1/1900" - it was MOVED THERE. doublet89 —Preceding comment was added at 20:41, 9 May 2008 (UTC)

I cannot verify the correct link because I do not know the date that was intended. PaulShanks ^talk 05:13, 9 May 2008 (UTC)

I believe the remaining link was supporting a section that has been removed. The link that was removed was supporting the quotes from Jack Graham, but is no longer working. Paulshanks (talk) 13:47, 7 May 2008 (UTC);

I just noticed that one of the references is not working. Not sure why. I'll try to check it out later. Paulshanks (talk) 17:28, 7 May 2008 (UTC);
