I do not have a high view of wikis, but...
Bold mine - is this an accurate summary of the Calvinistic position?
If not, the wiki needs to be edited...
...and I will need some guidance - God allows evil, but does not ordain it, right?
That is hyper-Calvinistic, yes?
evil - opposite of good and "not-God"- as contrasted with calamity - which I believe He does ordain.

This view of God, based first on Scripture and second on philosophy, allows its advocates to 1) Attribute both power and wisdom to Him without suggesting that He ordains evil (Calvinism) 2) Avoid the logical inconsistency of suggesting that human freedom can coexist with foreknowledge of free decisions (Arminianism).
