Arian section[edit]

I would like to suggest some improvements for the new section regarding (semi) Arianism. Firstly, it reads more like an essay (which is not policy guidelines), rather than the formal style expected of an encyclopedia. There is a clear point of view (POV) to defend Waggoner, rather than let the facts speak for themselves. It appears that there is little evidence he was Arian - but this should be stated differently. First mention that some have claimed he was Arian (and say who, and give a reference preferably). Then, if this is true, mention who disagrees. Try to pick the most notable sources around. Also remember that there is no reason that Ellen White should have any authority on truth for Wikipedia purposes. However her view on Waggoner is certainly notable (in Adventist-related articles) - but it is just that - one view.

The section is also quite long, and I think a summary would be better. Regards, Colin MacLaurin 05:50, 14 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
