Copyright products have no place in Wikipedia. Neither does ANTHING ALL IN CAPITAL LETTERS. Wetman 23:25, 25 Jan 2004 (UTC)

I disagree. We have lots of copyrighted and trademarked article names in Wikipedia. And we use the capitalization that the owner uses. RickK 00:05, 26 Jan 2004 (UTC)

Their site has the title in all caps. Other site that use GOD'S WORD as a source use caps as well. Examples:

The second section is blatant advertising. I propose it be deleted

A good deal of material has been lifted out of the "God's Word" Web Site, and is either plagiarism or an advertising attempt. see [1] The forth paragraph under "History" and downwards has been lifted and reproduced.

Other words have been lifted out of internet pages advertising the GWT such as http://www.beyondbelief.com/g_biblehs.spl [2] --89.240.225.187 15:27, 26 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I am removing the {advert} lable as the text has now identified clearly material from the God's Word Website, and has balanced material dealing with the advertising claims. --Osjknights 17:35, 26 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I have modified the page to reduce a lot of the POV criticism. There were a number of misspellings and the text did not flow well. I retained the two criticisms of the translation that were properly sourced. If the other criticisms can be cited, feel free to put them back.-- 67.240.138.239 (talk) 20:48, 15 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Glad to see the article has been kept. What areas would benefit most from other citations, in order to avoid the "dependent on one source" flag? Heyjohnboy (talk) 14:04, 2 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Google books citations to GWT

Also listed four times in Google Scholar, although none of the articles seem to be primarily about the GWT. Jclemens (talk) 04:44, 27 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

References not working...

[edit]

The links for references 1, 2, and 3 are not working (ie. they point to pages that do not exist). planksip® (talk) 20:25, 2 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I was able to find equivalent pages on their website for the first two, and have updated them. Although there is a page that might substitute for the third one, it does not contain the quote in the article. Someone will need to rewrite that section of the article.
