Reliable sources

Hi, I have deleted a number of edits you did at the Jehovah's Witnesses article. Most are fairly minor things I noted in the summary. Saying they "prefer" to use the NWT is actually from the cited source and is an accurate statement: to say they "generally" use it overstates their use of other translations. It would be very rare for a Witness to take any Bible but a NWT to a meeting, and when the Bible is quoted or used at meetings, conventions and in WTS literature it is almost exclusively the NWT used. My main point of messaging you, though, is to point out that the website www.jehovah.to does not meet Wikipedia standards for reliable sources. In collating material, it would be no more value than websites that gather material opposed to the Jehovah's Witnesses. Reading the RS and WP:SOURCES pages will be quite helpful.
