I think that someone should mention the missionary organization that Carey and his friends founded. the Particular Baptist Society for Propagating the Gospel amongst the Heathen. Reference: Gonzalez, J. L. The Story of Christianity, vol. 2, The Reformation to the Present Day. (New York, NY: HarperOne, 2010), p. 418. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 50.103.148.190 ( talk) 01:23, 9 December 2014 (UTC)
Does anybody think that a reference should be made to the schools and churches bearing his name?
The article claims Carey was a shoemaker. It was my understanding Carey was a Cobbler, someone who repaired shoes. Does anyone know? Notthe9 20:26, 19 January 2006 (UTC)
this source says on page 122 that Carey was "an impoverished English shoemaker": Tucker, Ruth A. From Jerusalem to Irian Jaya: a Biographical History of Christian Missions. 2nd ed. Zondervan, 2004.

The paragraph below was posted on the Timeline of Christian Missions article above Carey's name. Moved here for discussion and consideration. WBardwin 21:59, 29 April 2006 (UTC)
From my reading of Carey's life, he experienced alot of resistance to his work from the British East India Company. Perhaps this should be added to the article? Magiroth 19:32, 2 December 2006 (UTC)
In the Late India section, the following paragraph appears:
She had long since ceased to be a useful member of the mission, and in fact was actually a hindrance to its work. John Marshman wrote how Carey worked away on his studies and translations, "...while an insane wife, frequently wrought up to a state of most distressing excitement, was in the next room....".
This paragraph can be found word for word in this source on pgs 127-128: Tucker, Ruth A. From Jerusalem to Irian Jaya: a Biographical History of Christian Missions. 2nd ed. Zondervan, 2004.
Does something need to be done about this? Justonehumbletruthseeker ( talk) 00:45, 8 December 2007 (UTC)

At school, we studied William Carey, and watched a movie on him: William Carey: A Candle In The Dark. Both the studying and the movie said that he was a cobbler. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.183.203.180 ( talk) 20:06, 15 December 2012 (UTC)
"...a local villager who had a college education" — what does this mean in the context of 18th century Britain? It looks like an Americanism. Did the villager in fact have a university education? If so, it should be stated as such, not given its American equivalent. Koro Neil ( talk) 00:45, 9 July 2015 (UTC)
