Wiki woes

I noticed that the Wikipedia article on the emerging church didn't have any references to Scot McKnight. So, I added him in. But in order to do that right I had to stub in an additional article on him. So, I started that, too. However, the Wikipedia system doesn't like the McKnight entry -- putting an alert across the top indicating that the article reads like an "advertisement."

I'm not sure what to do about that. Anyone willing to jump in and add content or edit what's there to not only make the entry more complete but also to make it less like a promotional piece? It doesn't seem to be any more promotional than any other entry on an individual -- but what do I know?

A wiki-editor named kbomb fixed the problem and cleaned it up a bit. Although the changes were minor they were enough to remove the advert flag.

I tried to edit as well; it was late last night, so I didn't stay up to see if it all went through.

Brad,
Thanks.
Send me your address; I've got a bundle of monographs for your library.
