This article was the subject of an educational assignment in Spring 2015. Further details were available on the "Education Program:University of Texas, Austin/History of Pentecostalism in the Americas (Spring 2015)" page, which is now unavailable on the wiki. |
You might want to add to your song list the 2017 recording of "Priestess of the Promised Land" by Los Angeles singer-songwriter Stan Ridgway. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 206.77.150.85 ( talk) 20:40, 13 February 2018 (UTC)
This article needs an extensive re-write. It is framed like an extended, detailed, at times worshipful, biography. The tone is miles from impartial, and the article goes out of its way to praise and defend the subject at all times. I have begun addressing some of these problems but this will take more work from other people if it is to meet quality standards. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Khalfrodo ( talk • contribs) 06:15, 17 December 2019 (UTC)
I mentioned this, and it got reversed.
I know the rule on 'original research', which can include mentioning the bloody obvious without an official source.
But I gave one. IMDb is a high-quality reference work, which includes a more informative pay site within it. And it does not allow anyone to just post anything: it is all vetted before being allowed. So my work qualified.-- GwydionM ( talk) 09:12, 18 August 2020 (UTC)
IMDB, especially trivia, falls into the category of user-generated sources and is NOT acceptable. Read this information: /info/en/?search=Wikipedia:Reliable_sources
I have a much more reliable source but I believe the reference needs to be made on the Perry Mason (2020) page not the McPherson page. Uri10iru ( talk) 17:13, 28 August 2020 (UTC)
SteamWiki you really think
anti-fascism is a
defining characteristic of the subject of this article? A defining characteristic is one that reliable sources commonly and consistently define the subject as having
. Can you point me to RSs that define her in this way?

The paragraph on Romani is condescending and stereotypical. Specifically, the statement “Romani in the US were largely unreached by Christianity. The infusion of crosses and other symbols of Christianity alongside Romani astrology charts and crystal balls was the result of McPherson's influence” is inaccurate. Most Romani immigrants at that time were Christian and even Pentecostal, and it is unlikely that the use of Christian symbols was the “result of McPherson’s influence” 201.141.37.213 ( talk) 04:22, 31 May 2024 (UTC)
