Sections may need more coverage

Having just watched the programme on Latin America, I would say that the article as it appears here needs a wider listing of the programmes covered - for example, the Assemblies of God and the Temple of Dawn movements were mentioned. I expect that if one went to the BBC Two website, one would be able to find out more information. ACEOREVIVED (talk) 22:27, 13 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Well I've just spent a couple of hours visiting the site, watching the videos and updating this article. I added more information to last week's Latin America programme and this week's which focussed on Europe. More information might be needed though as I notice some of the episodes and faiths have been given more coverage than others. You might like to make a few edits yourself if you can think of any detail that is missing. Cheers TheRetroGuy (talk) 22:59, 21 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Apologies for earlier erratum

I apologise for my error in the above comment.I have been watching the repeat of the programme,and see that I should have "Temple of Goodwill" in place of "Temple of Dawn" in the comment above. I think that perhaps we could give a little more detail to some of the faiths covered, especially if they do not have separate articles in Wikipedia preventing us from wiki-linking them. Perhaps something like "in the programme from Latin America, Peter Owen Jones visited adherents of the Virgin of Gaudaloupe, beginning the programme, after which he discussed the Santa Muerte religion. He later described followers of El Tio,who are seen as important in one of the mines of Latin America. He later visited Bolivia, mentioning its president, and how its current president is the first native ethnic president of Bolivia. Other religions studied included Candomble and the Temple of Good Will.The Temple of Good Will are a movement in Brasilia who believe that Brasilia was built by aliens, and who take their name from a structure in Brasilia.ACEOREVIVED (talk) 00:15, 3 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry about the delay in replying, I haven't visited this page for a while. I think that sounds like it would work. The article definitely needs more information covering some of the different faiths to give people a perspective on what they're about. I actually considered writing an article about the Temple of Goodwill after updating this article as I'm guessing it's probably a notable landmark in Brasilia, but I'm not sure someone wouldn't list it for speedy deletion. I might have a go anyway and see what happens. Cheers TheRetroGuy (talk) 23:49, 12 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
