Welcome!
Hello, Joelg549, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Unfortunately, one of your contributions does not conform to Wikipedia's Neutral Point of View policy (NPOV). Wikipedia articles should refer only to facts and interpretations that have been stated in print or on reputable websites or other forms of media.
There's a page about the NPOV policy that has tips on how to effectively write about disparate points of view without compromising the NPOV status of the article as a whole. If you are stuck, and looking for help, please come to the New contributors' help page, where experienced Wikipedians can answer any queries you have! Or, you can just type {{helpme}} on your user page, and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions. Here are a few other good links for newcomers:
- The five pillars of Wikipedia
- How to edit a page
- Help pages
- Tutorial
- How to write a great article
- Manual of Style
I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your name on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically produce your name and the date. If you have any questions, check out Wikipedia:Where to ask a question or ask me on my talk page. Again, welcome! Please note that Wikipedia policies on verification and no original research have to be followed in conjunction with neutral point of view policy, hope you'll find these links useful. dave souza, talk 17:57, 7 August 2009 (UTC)
Your recent edits edit
Hello. In case you didn't know, when you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion, you should sign your posts by typing four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment. You may also click on the signature button 
located above the edit window. This will automatically insert a signature with your username or IP address and the time you posted the comment. This information is useful because other editors will be able to tell who said what, and when. Thank you. --SineBot (talk) 16:49, 7 August 2009 (UTC)
"already approved by Wikipedia admin" edit
Hello, I'd like to discuss this edit. In your summary, you said "Should not be removed as already approved by Wikipedia admin". Can you tell me by what process this was "approved". Generally things admins say are considered nothing special when weighing in on content disputes. In other words, I'd like to know why you think that content should stay. I can discuss this further on your thread on the talk page if you would prefer. ~a (user • talk • contribs) 18:44, 7 August 2009 (UTC)
Edit warring edit
Please refrain from undoing other people's edits repeatedly, as you are doing at Race of Jesus. If you continue, you may be blocked from editing Wikipedia. Note that the three-revert rule prohibits making more than three reversions in a content dispute within a 24 hour period. Additionally, users who perform a large number of reversions in content disputes may be blocked for edit warring, even if they do not technically violate the three-revert rule. Rather than reverting, discuss disputed changes on the talk page. The revision you want is not going to be implemented by edit warring. Thank you. Please note in particular the policies that have been drawn to your attention. I appreciate that historians are used to forming their own opinions on the basis of primary sources, but there are good reasons that approach can't be accepted on Wikipedia. If the synthesis shown has been published in a reliable source, please provide verification as requested. . dave souza, talk 21:03, 7 August 2009 (UTC)
- Joel, you've reverted again. Unless you undo that revert yourself, it will be necessary to report your transgression of the three-revert rule and you will most likely be blocked. Try, please, to follow the policies as requested. . . dave souza, talk 21:14, 7 August 2009 (UTC)
{{unblock|Your reason here}} below, but you should read our guide to appealing blocks first. Smashvilletalk 21:43, 7 August 2009 (UTC)
