Welcome![edit]
Hello, ChristianRand, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Unfortunately, one or more of your recent edits has not conformed to Wikipedia's verifiability policy, and has been or will be removed. Wikipedia articles should refer only to facts and interpretations that have been stated in print or on reputable websites or in other media. Always remember to provide a reliable source for quotations and for any material that is likely to be challenged, or it may be removed. Wikipedia also has a related policy against including original research in articles. Additionally, all new biographies of living people must contain at least one reliable source.

August 2015[edit]
Hello, I'm C.Fred. I noticed that you made a change to an article, Sell your cloak and buy a sword, but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so! If you need guidance on referencing, please see the referencing for beginners tutorial, or if you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. The requirements for reliable sources extend to scriptural interpretation. You need to show where acknowledged biblical scholars have mate the interpretation—or at least that it's a widely-held interpretation. You also need to cite the sources you're using to support that claim. —C.Fred (talk) 15:01, 1 August 2015 (UTC)
- Also, the Bible is a primary source and can be cited to show the exact text but not to draw any conclusion about what the text means. —C.Fred (talk) 15:10, 1 August 2015 (UTC)
Please do not add commentary or your own personal analysis to Wikipedia articles, as you did to Live by the sword, die by the sword. Doing so violates Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy and breaches the formal tone expected in an encyclopedia. Thank you. Mojo Hand (talk) 15:12, 1 August 2015 (UTC)
- Per this edit, it seems you may be on Wikipedia to WP:RIGHTGREATWRONGS. It's possible that Wikipedia is not the right place for you. The lack of fit between your expectations and ours may be too much to bridge. Any admin may choose to block your account unless you drop the intense tone of objection to our article content. Our editors are expected to write articles in a way that is religiously neutral, regardless of their own personal convictions. Thank you, EdJohnston (talk) 16:13, 1 August 2015 (UTC)
