Quotes edit

I notice your edit here mangles the page by changing all the " to Windows-style matched quotes. These are not used on Wikipedia and I have a nasty feeling whatever you are presently using to edit may do this automatically. Please would you look into it?

Disambiguation link notification for December 8 edit

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Theotecnus, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Ecclesiastical History (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

Help with editing calendar? edit

Greetings! Thanks for helping with the Orthodox Calendar articles. I wanted to let you know that I have started to edit all 366 articles again, in order to removed the bolding of saints names and replace them with this format in italics: <em>...</em>. The reason is because apparently the use of bolding goes against the style manual -- for example, see all the articles from May 16 to May 31 that are tagged for this reason. I have not been editing much lately, but if you happen to edit any articles as you go, perhaps you could help by making this style change for emphasis, from the bold format to the "em" format. Thanks and best, ΙΣΧΣΝΙΚΑ-888 (talk) 19:34, 7 February 2020 (UTC)Reply

@ΙΣΧΣΝΙΚΑ-888: I'll surely do. By the way, you did a very good job maintaining this calendar ;) ―Eduardogobi (talk) 20:20, 7 February 2020 (UTC)Reply

A summary of site policies and guidelines you may find useful edit

  • Please sign your posts on talk pages with four tildes (~~~~, found next to the 1 key), and please do not alter other's comments.
  • "Truth" is not the criteria for inclusion, verifiability is.
  • We do not publish original thought nor original research. We merely summarize reliable sources without elaboration or interpretation.
  • Reliable sources typically include: articles from magazines or newspapers (particularly scholarly journals), or books by recognized authors (basically, books by respected publishers). Online versions of these are usually accepted, provided they're held to the same standards. User generated sources (like Wikipedia) are to be avoided. Self-published sources should be avoided except for information by and about the subject that is not self-serving (for example, citing a company's website to establish something like year of establishment).
  • Articles are to be written from a neutral point of view. Wikipedia is not concerned with facts or opinions, it just summarizes reliable sources. This usually means that secular academia is given prominence over any individual sect's doctrines, though those doctrines may be discussed in an appropriate section that clearly labels those beliefs for what they are.

Reformulated:

Also, not a policy or guideline, but something important to understand the above policies and guidelines: Wikipedia operates off of objective information, which is information that multiple persons can examine and agree upon. It does not include subjective information, which only an individual can know from an "inner" or personal experience. Most religious beliefs fall under subjective information. Wikipedia may document objective statements about notable subjective claims (i.e. "Christians believe Jesus is divine"), but it does not pretend that subjective statements are objective, and will expose false statements masquerading as subjective beliefs (cf. Indigo children).

You may also want to read User:Ian.thomson/ChristianityAndNPOV. We at Wikipedia are highbrow (snobby), heavily biased for the academia.

Wikipedia is an encyclopedia. All we do here is cite, summarize, and paraphrase professionally-published mainstream academic or journalistic sources, without addition, nor commentary. We're not a directory, nor a forum, nor a place for you to "spread the word".

If[1] you are here to promote pseudoscience, extremism, fundamentalism or conspiracy theories, we're not interested in what you have to say.

If you came here to maim, bash and troll: be gone! If you came here to edit constructively and learn to abide by policies and guidelines: you're welcome. Tgeorgescu (talk) 30 December 2020 02:17:40 (UTC)
