Are we sure Elbert Yoneq Spriggs is the way his name should be spelled? Did he officially/legally change his middle name? Zach (wv) (t) 21:10, 27 September 2005 (UTC)

well, the official twelve tribes website [1] doesn't currently include any mention of the name Yoneq, only Elbert Eugene Spriggs, and sometimes "Gene". Other sources refer to him as "Yoneq" but not as a middle name, kind of as an entirely new name. But this may be a thing of the past since the twelve tribes website doesn't refer to him as such any more, or in fact refer to him at all except in a historical context. Maybe the page should be moved to Elbert Eugene Spriggs, and redirect from this page, and Yoneq. Kewp 06:52, 28 September 2005 (UTC)
I went ahead and moved the page to Elbert Eugene Spriggs because it seems more correct.--Kewp (t) 18:18, 24 October 2005 (UTC)

Is this a copyright violation? -Branddobbe 05:31, 8 May 2007 (UTC)

No, this is not a copyright violation. All the information here is freely made available without copyright on Mr. Spriggs own website, www.TwelveTribes.org


There seem to be a large number of minor grammatical errors that could be fixed in the "autobiographical" section/

Wikipedia entries about people should be biographical - not autobiographical. This entry is nothing less than cult propaganda. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 90.8.164.42 (talk) 12:12, August 29, 2007 (UTC)

On 10/23 I corrected a large number of bogus changes that totally violated the guidelines for information about living persons...sheer vandalism. As the guidelines plainly state, " Controversial material about living persons that is unsourced or poorly sourced must be removed immediately, especially if potentially libelous." —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.181.222.24 (talk) 04:34, 23 October 2007 (UTC)

ON 10/28 I corrected three more vandalizations of this article that once again violated the guidelines for information about living persons. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.181.222.24 (talk) 05:58, 29 October 2007 (UTC)

ON 10/30 I corrected another vandalism of this page. All of them have been by the same user...210.11.35.209 —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.181.222.24 (talk) 18:00, 30 October 2007 (UTC)
