Copying within Wikipedia requires proper attribution

Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you copied or moved text from Blessing ceremony of the Unification Church into Family Federation for World Peace and Unification. While you are welcome to re-use Wikipedia's content, here or elsewhere, Wikipedia's licensing does require that you provide attribution to the original contributor(s). When copying within Wikipedia, this is supplied at minimum in an edit summary at the page into which you've copied content, disclosing the copying and linking to the copied page, e.g., copied content from [[page name]]; see that page's history for attribution. It is good practice, especially if copying is extensive, to also place a properly formatted {{copied}} template on the talk pages of the source and destination. The attribution has been provided for this situation, but if you have copied material between pages before, even if it was a long time ago, please provide attribution for that duplication. You can read more about the procedure and the reasons at Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia. Thank you. If you are the sole author of the prose that was moved, attribution is not required. — Diannaa 🍁 (talk) 13:00, 25 February 2018 (UTC)

Single purpose account policy

I've noticed that you've made quite a few edits to the articles that are about the Unification Church. In fact those are pretty much the only edits you've made. What, if any is the type of relationship between the church and yourself?

I ask because there's a policy:

Wikipedia:Single-purpose_account

And your account seems to be a single-purpose account.GliderMaven (talk) 21:40, 28 March 2018 (UTC)

Hi GliderMaven, I consider myself part of the larger Unification movement, which refers to the broad spectrum of entities ranging from academic institutions, cultural foundations, scientific and scholarly institutions, interfaith and peacebuilding activities, etc. that were inspired by or otherwise related to the late Sun Myung Moon. Thus I have an interest in articles related to the Unification movement, particularly the article "Unification Church", since that is the term people commonly use to refer to the Unification movement. I am especially interested in clarifying the misunderstandings surrounding that term. I actually noticed that a large number of the previous editors of the article are either dedicated members of a particular faction of the movement or passionate ex-members, and thus have entrenched viewpoints, and so I was trying to add a more objective perspective on the article. Luckily, there are several academic sources available that I have been using for this endeavor, that have detailed the various schisms the movement is currently divided into.
