A question, does anyone know if Kenneth Copeland is related to Miles Copeland ? 208.65.192.1 ( talk) 21:40, 6 June 2019 (UTC)

He belongs to the Conservative Political Party??? Do we even have a national Conservative political party as does the UK or Canada??? That's just WRONG from a FACTUAL standpoint. Copeland may be a Republican. But except for the Mike Huckabee fiasco that blew up in his face, I have read or seen nothing that Copeland has done or said that reveals his political party affiliation. Does Kenneth Copeland really need another outright UNTRUTH spread about him, and by Wikipedia, where people come to for FACTUAL information and answers. It really needs to be taken out.

Is there anything illegal about KCM having 21 ‘assumed names’ registered with the State of Texas??? Apparently it must be legal. Also, what Texas commission/s, department/s, bureau/s, agency/s is/are Copeland registered with??? User:JCHeverly 14:45, 29 January 2014 (UTC)
While Kenneth and Gloria Copeland are theologically controversial, they do NOT teach or preach anything that isn't found in the _The Holy Bible_. They also comply with all Internal Revenue Service laws for 501.3(c) corporations. They have NEVER been accused of or charged with doing anything illegal. User:JCHeverly 16:05, 29 January 2014 (UTC)
Can anyone please tell me how this man has any connection to Kenneth Copeland, or KCM??? None. But, if you're looking for ministries with connections to famous people, have you heard of Reverend Wright. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.185.56.93 ( talk • contribs)
I don't believe that either Kenneth or Gloria Copeland were converts to Judaism, or identify as Jewish-American, as implied in the categories at the bottom of the page. I also couldn't find anything in the article that indicated any Jewish identity for these two. Are there any sources that either of the Croplands are Jewish?

The article cites a USA Today article that says Copeland has 33 acres. According to the Tarrant Appraisal District website, that address has 12 landed properties which amount to hundreds of acres, along with other types of property that are valued at over $20 million.

Please source Ivy Binford w/ a reputable source. Is she an ex-wife of Copeland's? Someone that gave up Terrie for adoption? As far as I know, the Copeland's have always referred to Terrie as "our daughter." You got 24 hours to come up with and ID from a reputable source, or I boldly edit.
Why is this even relevant??? Please reference a Fort Worth/Tarrant County voter registration role in 24 hours, or I boldly edit. That is all.-- User:JCHeverly 02:50, 16 August 2016 (UTC)

There is a lot in the article about airplanes and facilities of the ministry and very little mention of what Copeland has done in the fifty years since being in college. The second half of the article could be trimmed without hurting the overall piece Princetoniac ( talk) 20:14, 16 May 2019 (UTC)
This whole article reeks of manipulation from a public relations team paid to improve Kenneth Copeland's image. Can someone review and revise it? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 65.129.51.69 ( talk) 21:39, 2 June 2019 (UTC)
A substantial part of the article is devoted to this issue. Snooganssnoogans ( talk) 22:33, 4 June 2019 (UTC)

Whoever keeps vandalizing this page is very biased. United States citizen ( talk) 14:05, 8 February 2021 (UTC)
So when Copeland did have these large events was he eventually reprimanded at all by local authorities or not? I understand that there are some cities now who have required masks in stores, etc. as city ordinances and if they refuse they can get fined. Any feed back on that? Is that really true? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2600:1700:77F0:FA20:E041:1924:19E8:A1F2 ( talk) 18:51, 13 February 2021 (UTC)
The article seems to have some glaring omissions. It seems like there is almost no mention of his history from 1967-2006. It would be great if we had some info on how he developed his empire and wealth. All of the focus seems to be on various controversies he has been involved in in recent years. See WP:RECENT. I think this should be rectified. In a similar vein, WP preference is to not have controversy/criticism sections, but fold controversies in the general biography of the subject. I think we should do that here. Ashmoo ( talk) 14:51, 20 April 2021 (UTC)

In case we need another ref: https://www.houstonchronicle.com/news/investigations/unfair-burden/article/kenneth-copeland-wealth-pastor-tax-free-mansion-16662283.php -- Hipal ( talk) 23:25, 11 July 2023 (UTC)
I'm concerned about rewrites that have happened over the past few years. Compare to [1]. Most Wikipedia tools that I use are not currently working, so I'm having difficulty determining the extent of the problems. There's definitely some slow edit-warring going on.
The section that talks about his 2019 interview regarding his flying private jets is not adequately represented by "If I flew commercial, I'd have to stop 65% of what I'm doing" and he additionally defended a previous comment where he said that he did not fly commercial because he did not want to fly with demons. He went on an unhinged rant, he said some offensive things about Jews, referred to the interviewer as "baby" the entire time, said, said he got unsolicited requests for prayers when he didn't fly private (and it “agitated his spirit.”), etc. The article it links to does not reflect the text that cites it as the the presentation as it currently stands it almost positive while the article is very negative. -- 108.41.157.75 ( talk) 00:19, 11 September 2023 (UTC)
During Covid people said so many things that shows skepticism about it. For an article that isn't so voluminous, I feel the covid statement in the lede is giving undue weight to aspect of his personality over others. This also highly impacts the neutrality of this article. However, I'd love to know what anyone thinks before making the bold move. HandsomeBoy ( talk) 16:00, 8 January 2024 (UTC)
