[edit]A spot-check of the references shows that several from mainstream media are really just articles referencing Jeff Sharlet's book on The Family. Need to remove the level of indirection. Scholarcrow (talk) 13:54, 8 September 2009 (UTC) "The Family": Of which there is no mention here. There is no mention of Coe's real ideas either. Looks like a whitewash to me — Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.174.182.82 (talk) 16:34, 9 August 2019 (UTC)
Tagged with BLP
[edit]I just deleted about three sections attacking him, I haven't had the time to review the whole article, but I will shortly. In the mean time I tagged the article, please don't remove it until the disputed sections get corrected. EricLeFevre (talk) 22:02, 13 September 2009 (UTC)
- I agree that this has to be written with care. However, the fact that Coe has repeatedly invoked Hitler or Lenin is not a matter of dispute. The problem is to avoid interpreting these as admiration or calls to emulate their methods. Similarly, the quote of David Coe is not appropriate because its veracity is unverifiable and because its presence certainly skews the article. On the other hand, discussing David and Doug Coe's understanding of sin is fair game and relevant to the portrait of important figures of American Christian fundamentalism.

Doug Coe appears to me to be someone to look at sceptically. Her has risen to his position with very little doctrination. The people he meets with and have influence over are people that are not Christ like. The fellowship is looking to get members in high political positions simply for world domination. They are an evil group of people that must be looked at skepytically at all times. Please do not be mistrude because they say they do things in Christ name, any one can say that. Be weary of the ttreaties that are passed. Even the evil can accept peace when there is a Greter Goal. This group led by Coe seems evil please study who they are and what they mean.—Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.234.185.167 (talk • contribs) 23:42, 28 April 2010
Renaming discussion at Talk:The Family (Christian political organization)
[edit]Hello all, please see Talk:The Family (Christian political organization)#The Family vs. The Fellowship; the proposal I've made would not involve changing this article, but I'm seeking more opinions. Thanks in advance for any comments. GlassCobra 16:33, 24 September 2009 (UTC)
Need for NPOV
[edit]The current modifications sought by Ivananderson (talk · contribs) are not acceptable as they move the article away from an objective account of facts. Sentences such as
- Coe's ministry in mentoring and discipling is widely known, his enjoyment of athletics and his devoted family life, having raised four boys and two girls.
or
- He became the mentor of dozens of seekers of Christ who came like the Pharisee Nicodemas came to Jesus, quietly, by night, to ask Faith questions.
are not acceptable. Neither is the transformation of
- Coe was a behind-the-scenes player at the Camp David Accords
to
- Coe was a behind-the-scenes spiritual mentor at the Camp David Accords.
Similarly removal of the term "fundamentalist Christian" seems unwarranted since this is not really contested by most observers, etc.Pichpich (talk) 18:40, 21 April 2010 (UTC)
Unreferenced Claims
[edit]If those claims with the CN tag are not referenced I will remove them. I had to correct a few already that made excessive assumptions. Dr. Morbius (talk) 03:12, 16 March 2012 (UTC)
removing POV tag with no active discussion per Template:POV
[edit]I've removed an old neutrality tag from this page that appears to have no active discussion per the instructions at Template:POV:
- This template is not meant to be a permanent resident on any article. Remove this template whenever:
- There is consensus on the talkpage or the NPOV Noticeboard that the issue has been resolved
- It is not clear what the neutrality issue is, and no satisfactory explanation has been given
- In the absence of any discussion, or if the discussion has become dormant.
- This template is not meant to be a permanent resident on any article. Remove this template whenever:
Since there's no evidence of ongoing discussion, I'm removing the tag for now. If discussion is continuing and I've failed to see it, however, please feel free to restore the template and continue to address the issues. Thanks to everybody working on this one! -- Khazar2 (talk) 00:13, 30 June 2013 (UTC)
