merge from Dove World Outreach Center

There's a lot of biographical info on Jones sitting in Dove World Outreach Center; should probably be merged over here. -- Kendrick7 20:28, 10 September 2010 (UTC)

Content hidden in overwriting with Rdr

   I found

Dr. Terry Jones is the senior pastor of Dove World Outreach Center in Gainsville, Florida. He is also the author of a controversial book entitled "Islam is of the Devil."

He attended Cape Girardeau Central High-school where he graduated alongside Rush Limbaugh. His first wife died in 1996

and would have copied it only to here and/or the other related talk page, even if my intention of overwriting with a Rdr to the article on the controversy he is involved in had not been overtaken by a colleague's overwrite, done while i was documenting my intended one. He is notably only for one event at this point (see Talk:2010_Qur'an-burning controversy#Terry Jones, pastor), and nothing removed is worthy of mention unless tied in to that event in ways that are not obvious from the above.
   By the way,

_ the Limbaugh connection, even if made relevant, was at the time of the overwrite justified on talk:2010_Qur'an-burning controversy only a non-journalist blog that was only said there to have been quoted by Huntington Post (opinion, not a newspaper or magazine) and USA Today (but with no verifiable second source they may have provided cited on the talk page), and AFAIK are still no better documented.
_ If someone has a verifiable doctorate or medical degree, we say mention earning a PhD or being a physician; we don't put "Dr." in front of a name any more than we would put "Mr."

More splits, more proposals to merge, remerge? This is silly

The church and pastor were formerly obscure, and they will be again - In my opinion, this can best be handled in one article so that readers can see the context of the controversy. Redirects will be needed because there are different search terms readers will use to find the information. Several odd splits and naming have been done and are being proposed and I strongly believe that continuing to split articles, rename, and to move information from one article to another back and forth, etc. merely obscures the context and the facts and is very unhelpful to the reader.
