[edit] Ted Haggard scandal belongs on the Ted Haggard page
This conforms to standard Wikipedia practice. For example, neither the United States of America page nor the Democratic Party page refers to the scandals of its past presidents. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 24.40.150.27 (talk • contribs) .
- While we should be careful that the Haggard scandal isn't given undue weight in this article, it's certainly appropriate to mention it here. After all, Haggard was (is?) the president of the NAE at the time the scandal broke, and it's all over the news at the moment. The only reason Haggard is known is because of his position with the NAE, so this article should provide at least *some* description of what's going on. Basically, the Haggard article should provide the details, but it's appropriate to mention the scandal, in summary form, in this article. · j e r s y k o talk · 22:02, 3 November 2006 (UTC)
- Yes, some mention does belong here, if you look at a similarly controversial organization of a simillar age, you'll find the scandals listed in summery form. For example, PETA mentions its domain name disputes. Such information should generally remain in the main article until there is enough of it to move to a second article.
- You'r welcome to shorten the Ted Haggard section & provide a "Main article "Ted Haggard" subheading. JeffBurdges 17:51, 5 November 2006 (UTC)
- I shortened the Haggard section -- I didn't think it was fair for a scandal to have nearly as much text in this article as the organization's history... especially because it's addressed at length in Haggard's own article. I moved it as a subhead under the "presidents" section. Kimleonard 21:43:17 19 Feb 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Pet peeves belong on a blog
The NAE has decided it's not about global warming. So what? Most organizations are not.
- I'm not sure what that author was trying to say. Maybe NAE ministers refuse to make an anti-oil statment while other evangelicals do? Maybe NAE is just voicing an appropriate level of support for its ministers who support enviromental measures? I simply can't tell from what is said. It might be relevant if they are bucking the trend, otherwise I'd just say that they go along with everybody else when their positions on other issues are mentioned.

- It'd be nice to see the global warming thing expanded to reference the major issues that the NAE has dealt with - particularly any that they have taken an official stance on. Just having global warming seems to leave the article a little unbalanced. --Tim4christ17 talk 17:47, 5 December 2006 (UTC)
- Here's a list of the Policy Resolutions of the NAE. [1] --Tim4christ17 talk 18:08, 5 December 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Criticism
I think this article could do with some mention of the criticism the NAE has received re: creationism and brainwashing. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 82.24.207.78 (talk • contribs) .
