I have just modified one external link on
George Whitefield. Please take a moment to review
my edit. If you have any questions, or need the bot to ignore the links, or the page altogether, please visit
this simple FaQ for additional information. I made the following changes:
When you have finished reviewing my changes, you may follow the instructions on the template below to fix any issues with the URLs.
This message was posted before February 2018.
After February 2018, "External links modified" talk page sections are no longer generated or monitored by InternetArchiveBot. No special action is required regarding these talk page notices, other than
regular verification using the archive tool instructions below. Editors
have permission to delete these "External links modified" talk page sections if they want to de-clutter talk pages, but see the
RfC before doing mass systematic removals. This message is updated dynamically through the template {{
source check}} (last update: 18 January 2022).
If you have discovered URLs which were erroneously considered dead by the bot, you can report them with
this tool.
If you found an error with any archives or the URLs themselves, you can fix them with
this tool.
An edit has been made (which I have reverted twice) which changes a word in a direct attributed quotation from Mark Galli from "hearers" to "listeners". Mark Galli is only 66 and is still the editor in chief of a magazine with a very large circulation. Oxford English Dictionary does not show "hearer" as obsolete, and a search on Google News shows the word still in use; even if it was obsolete, a direct quotation should not be edited in this way.--

James Moore painting
The caption said painted after 1951. A typo, I think. Have changed to 1751. Also changed "after" to "before". Round about this time Whitefield became corpulent (as a result of heart failure?). The painting looks more like the one found in James Paterson Gledstone's "George Whitefield M.A., Field-Preacher" (London: Hodder and Stoughton, 1900) which says it was of Whitefield at 29. A colour copy of that portrait is located at John Street United Methodist Church, New York City and is on public display. A copy (of a copy of a copy?, the artwork is not the same) can be viewed here:
