I'd like to propose this article at FAC in the next few months. After a comprehensive GA review by two experienced editors that whipped this article into great shape, I'd like several opinions on how the article can be improved to bring it to that next step. I am grateful for your suggestions. Many thanks, --ColonelHenry (talk) 20:12, 22 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I noticed few things earlier this week, I see if I can review this today. Edgepedia (talk) 15:28, 8 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

(please ignore if I'm wrong)

Lead
  • 'fall' (the season) is in the article with and without a capital letter.
  • As of the fall semester of 2012, the seminary enrolled 197 students. How about had enrolled, or The seminary enrolled 197 students in the 2012 fall semester?
Administration and organization
  • Move comma to after Protestant seminary in the United States from later?
A seminary in New Brunswick
  • Elias van Bunschooten: I remember something about not redlinking people, as an article about the wrong person with the same name could be created. I'll link the guidance in a moment See: WP:REDNOT
  • p.93–94: This should be pp.
  • 1809-1823 should have a ndash
College Avenue redevelopment
  • No ref at the end of paragraph
Degrees and programs
  • Urban Ministry or urban ministry? Looks odd.
Notable people
  • I was lost when I saw B.D.; perhaps link on first use?
References
  • 28, 50 need ndashes instead of minus signs. Not sure about the others.

That's all I have. Edgepedia (talk) 16:02, 8 February 2014 (UTC) Amended Edgepedia (talk) 16:07, 8 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Something was on my mind, so I came back to have a look. You mention the seminary is Mainline Protestant in the lead, (and I had a look at that article) but this categorisation is not mentioned in the article and therefore not referenced. Edgepedia (talk) 19:46, 8 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Actually now I'm out of my depth; the next word you have Reformed, which you link to Calvinism, whereas when I see this word I think of the English Reformation. Edgepedia (talk) 19:57, 8 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Ok, found [1], which considers the denomination 'mainline'; wonder if a better link for Reformed would be Protestant Reformation, as you mention Calvin at the end of the sentence. However, I'm sure you know better than me here. Edgepedia (talk) 20:15, 8 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I've struck a comment about Reform above after realising this is just one of those words that mean different things on the different sides of the Alantic. Edgepedia (talk) 08:15, 9 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

@Edgepedia: - Thanks for your comments. I could see an ENGVAR issue...Anglicans like to think of themselves as Catholic and Reformed, in the States, Episcopalians typically tend to use "Protestant" more often. When you hear "Reformed" in the States it usually is in the context of Calvinism--either Dutch Refomed and less often Presbyterian, or alternatively as an adjective for separatist Baptists (there's a schism among American Baptists because of some new preachers using Calvinist theology--something that is a no-no among Southern Baptists, conservatives, and the fundamentalists.--ColonelHenry (talk) 03:40, 10 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
