Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions; however, please remember the essential rule of respecting copyrights. Edits to Wikipedia, such as your edit to the page Malankara Orthodox Syrian Church, may not contain material from copyrighted sources unless used with permission. It is almost never okay to copy extensive text out of a book or website and paste it into a Wikipedia article with little or no alteration, though you can clearly and briefly quote copyrighted text in the right circumstances. Content that does not comply with this legal rule must be removed. For more information on this, see:

If you still have questions, there is a new contributor's help page, or you can click here to ask a question on your talk page and someone will be along to answer it shortly. You may also find the following pages useful for a general introduction to Wikipedia:

  Welcome to Wikipedia, and thank you for your contributions. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, please note that there is a Manual of Style that should be followed to maintain a consistent, encyclopedic appearance. Deviating from this style, as you did in Malankara Metropolitan, disturbs uniformity among articles and may cause readability or accessibility problems. Please take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Please observe MOS:HON and refrain from adding honorifics such as "Mor", "Mar", "Moran Mor", "Saint", "Father", "His Excellency", etc. Elizium23 (talk) 10:02, 29 February 2020 (UTC)Reply

Hi, if you add someone to a subcategory of Category:Malankara Orthodox Syrian Church, then you do not need to add them to the parent category, as it is WP:DIFFUSEd. Thanks. Elizium23 (talk) 03:04, 1 March 2020 (UTC)Reply

Once again please check if categories are diffusing and do not add articles to parent categories. It is not helpful if someone needs to come after all your edits and clean them up. Elizium23 (talk) 03:53, 1 March 2020 (UTC)Reply

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Thomas Athanasius, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Metropolitan (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.)
