Compolo

I know that he's good friends with Clinton; I remember the big deal about his leaving Ron Brown's funeral with Clinton made by Rush Limbaugh. I've only heard him speak once, but it is probably the single most memorable speech that I've ever heard, and was very loosely based (according to him) on ideas from Max Weber's The Protestant Work Ethic and the Spirit of Capitalism. (It was also based on the famous sermon, "It's Friday, but Sunday's Coming".) I know that he is into social action, but I don't know if he is truly "left", although he certainly strikes me as well to the left of the public image of Baptists, which I think seems to be largely Jerry Falwell and Pat Robertson, who don't fit very well with many of the Baptists I know. I feel that he is, however, far more relevant to the topic in today's context that William Jennings Bryan, who is now an icon of fundatmentalism, or even President Carter, who seems to be increasingly a leftost to an extent (I hereby retract some of my earlier comments with regard to him). Thanks for caring about the article, and helping it. Rlquall 04:24, 29 Nov 2004 (UTC)

Thanks for your comments. Tony Campolo is certainly a controversial figure, as can be seen in part here [1] due to his rather unusual stances on a number of issues, and the way in which he presents his ideas. Ron Nash's book Why the Left is Not Right discusses the Christian Left in more detail, but from a religiously conservative view. Michaelh 06:30, 30 Nov 2004 (UTC)

Image Tagging Image:Utdallas gate.jpg

This media may be deleted.

Thanks for uploading Image:Utdallas gate.jpg. I notice the 'image' page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you have not created this media yourself then you need to argue that we have the right to use the media on Wikipedia (see copyright tagging below). If you have not created the media yourself then you should also specify where you found it, i.e., in most cases link to the website where you got it, and the terms of use for content from that page.

If the media also doesn't have a copyright tag then you must also add one. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then you can use {{GFDL-self}} to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media qualifies as fair use, please read fair use, and then use a tag such as {{Non-free fair use in|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags#Fair_use. See Wikipedia:Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other media, please check that you have specified their source and copyright tagged them, too. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any unsourced and untagged images will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you.

Disputed fair use rationale for Image:Utdallas seal small.png

Thanks for uploading Image:Utdallas seal small.png. However, there is a concern that the rationale you have provided for using this image under "fair use" may be invalid. Please read the instructions at Wikipedia:Non-free content carefully, then go to the image description page and clarify why you think the image qualifies for fair use. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If it is determined that the image does not qualify under fair use, it will be deleted within a couple of days according to our criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot (talk) 04:47, 21 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Orphaned non-free image (File:Utdallas seal small.png)

⚠

Thanks for uploading File:Utdallas seal small.png. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of "file" pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "File" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. ww2censor (talk) 04:00, 3 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
