[edit] Who owns it?

The new article written this morning claims HarperCollins; the existing article here claims Rupert Murdoch. The website seems to go along with HarperCollins? This should be cleared up, of course. Bill 12:03, 24 Jun 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Murdoch Does

Zondervan is owned by HarperCollins; HarperCollins is owned by News International; News International is owned by Murdoch.

"she ruined their family" ????

Harper Collins is owned by NewsCorp (NewsCorp own News International). Rupert Murdoch is a signiifact shareholder in NewsCorp, but doesn't own it - it is a publicly traded company.

[edit] 1ne (→Satanic connection - - maybe we should be more clear than "let go)

Why? what difference does it make? i wrote it that way because i was stating it was the employees claim and those are his words and the words he claims his employer used to describe his "dismissal". i don't think many people would be confused as to what "let go" implies, and the source is there. i'm not going to make a stink about the changing of two words but if you are going to change it to "improve it" then just do it. but if youre going to write maybe we should be more clear than "let go) as a reason then please say why because such a moot change + your comment comes across as changing for changes sake like some teacher that just needs to correct a student for the sake of feeling superior to the student. maybe i just feel this way because im frustrated with pedantic and pissy editors on wikipedia and you didnt mean it the way i sensed it, but i doubt that. at least that's the only thing you found "wrong" with it.

[edit] Satanic Connection

I reduced the prominence given to this - it doesn't seem to have been that major an incident on the web.

[edit] Suggest Rearrangement

There have been a number of controversies surrounding ... ... ... Chinese printing facilities to produce Bibles.

These seem more to do with controversy/criticisms than recent developments. Should there be a separate controversy section? I think moving this block to the criticisms section would be best. Perhaps also changing the name of the sections from "Criticisms" to "Controversy".

The statement is a little neutral to be classified as criticism. It also lacks any explanation, merely stating there has been some "controversy". If you want to move it to a Criticisms section more details need to be presented, such as specific information about the controversy. Also, it should be specified what the controversy is about, are they using abusive labour conditions? are they underpaying their workers? Jargon777 (talk) 21:39, 25 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] The Storykeepers

The Storykeepers is an animated video series produced by Zondervan. This article is listed as orphaned, and I think it could use a link from this article, as Zondervan is its creator. Jargon777 (talk) 21:39, 25 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Pyromarketing

Whilst Pyromarketing was published by HarperCollins, it became a dispute with Zondervan, because it was edited by an editor at Zondervan, and describes the marketing techniques used by Zondervan in promoting The Purpose Filled series.jonathon (talk) 18:39, 9 June 2008 (UTC)
