Details of his religious conversion are worthy of inclusion, especially if there is a reliable source. I have removed this statement, as it would definitely need a source, and shouldn't include the self-reference: "His religious conversion was the same type of evangelical experience that happened to John Wesley and C. H. Spurgeon, whose articles appear on Wikipedia describing their conversions." In general, this article still needs a lot of help. Ἀλήθεια 13:53, 23 November 2009 (UTC)
I was contacted by the copyright owner's attorney, and the email has been forwarded to permissions - hopefully the OTSR team will add the ticket details soon -- PhantomSteve/ talk| contribs\ 22:00, 9 June 2010 (UTC)
I don't think any copyright was violated in this article. I am EMarley and have been involved in this article.
The list of papers that Dr. Lin wrote was not taken from the website linked to. I saw the papers in physical form give to me from a man who was a disciple of Dr. Lin for 24 years and learned to do pastoral ministry from him. I simply put in the list of titles from the papers he had. Then I linked to the site without using any of their own written content. Just a simple link to direct people there.
On the "obituary," I got this information from this ministerial disciple and Timothy Lin's family. Nothing was copied from the Los Angeles Times obituary. In fact, this minister and Dr. Lin's son put together the information that went into the obituary, from their long relationships with Timothy Lin. So there is a common source here, but no violation of copyright, no copying from the Los Angele Times.
So I think the Wikipedia article is legitimate.
Please let me know what you think about this. No violation was intended, and I don't think any violation was committed. Thank you for your time and consideration.
Very Truly Yours,

Right now I am in Africa on a missions trip. But I will look into this when I get back to the United States. My best wishes to you and all at Wikipedia. — Preceding unsigned comment added by EMarley ( talk • contribs) 01:50, 6 January 2018 (UTC)
I contacted Mr. Kimble, the owner of the bsmi website and received this email (my real life name is Christopher Cagan). He was a student of Timothy Lin. I can forward you the entire email as an email if you will give me an address to send it to. Then you could write to him yourself.
Dear Pastor Christopher Cagan,
I enjoyed speaking to you today by phone.
I gladly give you permission for the twenty four titles by Dr. Lin, on my web site,(bsmi.org), and the link to my web site to be in the Timothy Lin’s Wikipedia Article.
Thanks,
D. Eugene Kimble, Ph.D.
I hope this is helpful. I have tried hard to be honest about this. I did not think it was a violation to give the titles of the articles without quoting from them. But now I have permission from the website owner to put the titles and the link to that website into the article. So I don't think there is a copyright violation here, if ever there was.
Sincerely,
EMarley

Good morning, about the disclaimer related to a possible copyright infringement, it can be used one of the web tools available for anaytic text comparison.
At this link, it was copied WP questioned article in the bo "text 1", and the external source [1] in box "text 2". This is the object linked in the second template:copypaste at the top of the page. By the mentioned comparison we get commonalities of text in respect of text 2, shown in pink colour, that are the following:
Maybe the WP policy fix a percentage of "reusable" external more conservative than what is provided by the national law. Some words in text A are shown in pink colour, even if they aren't a full sentence:
The final count shows 88 words and 5% of the text copied. As a general rule the final count of those services has to be critically reviewed and filtered for the cases of part 3 and 4 now exemplified. Micheledisaveriosp ( talk) —Preceding undated comment added 15:34, 5 January 2019 (UTC)
