April 2011[edit]
Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, articles should not be moved, as you did to Peanut butter, banana and bacon sandwich, without good reason. They need to have a name that is both accurate and intuitive. Wikipedia has some guidelines in place to help with this. Generally, a page should only be moved to a new title if the current name doesn't follow these guidelines. Also, if a page move is being discussed, consensus needs to be reached before anybody moves the page. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you. —C.Fred (talk) 21:20, 25 April 2011 (UTC)
Speedy deletion nomination of Church of the Trinity and Saint John[edit]
If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.
A tag has been placed on Church of the Trinity and Saint John requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a person, organization (band, club, company, etc.) or web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.
If you think that the page was nominated in error, contest the nomination by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion" in the speedy deletion tag. Doing so will take you to the talk page where you can explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but do not hesitate to add information that is consistent with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you. Mdann52 (talk) 15:39, 15 July 2012 (UTC)
I talked to an administrator and he said he will check the article an maybe delete it. Receptie123 (talk) 16:50, 15 July 2012 (UTC)
July 2012[edit]
Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is invited to contribute, at least one of your recent edits, such as the one you made to Church of the Trinity and Saint John, did not appear to be constructive and has been reverted or removed. Please use the sandbox for any test edits you would like to make, and read the welcome page to learn more about contributing constructively to this encyclopedia. The reverted edit can be found here.

Cathedrals[edit]
I've just found and removed your addition to the article Cathedral. You made another small edit, so it is impossible that you didn't see the text in CAPS that requested that no pics be added without discussion.
Here's my advice to new editors. If you read through the info about adding pics, then you will see why it was removed. Please understand that there are hundreds of pictures of cathedrals to choose from, so every pic that is on the page is there because it illustrates the text in some significant way. No picture on the page is a random choice made just because some editor happened to have photographed their local church, or the one they visited on holidays. If you go back and look hard at the pics, and read the captions, you will see what I mean. Not all articles are as professionally arranged as that one, but professionalism is the aim.

AJM's advice to new editors[edit]
- Look at the article to see how it is laid out. The Table of Contents is the best place to start.
- Read the article to see if what you want to add or remove is appropriate, necessary, or adds value.
- Search for the right place to put it.
- Check Use the "Show Preview" to make sure that what you have done is appropriate and correct.
- Discuss any change about which you are uncertain, by placing your proposed text, or just a suggestion, on the talk page. Someone who watches the article will usually answer in a day or so. You can monitor this by clicking the watch tag at the top of the page.
- Be aware
- that an addition inserted between two sentences or paragraphs that are linked in meaning can turn the existent paragraphs into nonsense.
- that a lengthy addition or the creation of a new sub-section can add inappropriate weight to just one aspect of a topic.
When adding images
- Look to see if the subject of your image is already covered. Don't duplicate subject matter already present. Don't delete a picture just to put in your own, unless your picture is demonstrably better for the purpose. The caption and nearby text will help you decide this.
- Search through the text to find the right place for your image. If you wish it to appear adjacent to a particular body of text, then place it above the text, not at the end of it.
- Look to see how the pictures are formatted. If they are all small thumbnails, do not size your picture at 300 px. The pictures in the article may have been carefully selected to follow a certain visual style e.g. every picture may be horizontal, because of restricted space; every picture might be taken from a certain source, so they all match. Make sure your picture looks appropriate in the context of the article.
- Read the captions of existent pictures, to see how yours should fit in.
- Check the formatting, placement, context and caption before you leave the page by using the Show preview function, and again after saving.
- Discuss If your picture seems to fill a real identifiable need in the article, but doesn't fit well, because of formatting or some other constraint, then put it on the talk page and discuss, before adding.
- Be aware that adding a picture may substantially change the layout of the article. Your addition may push another picture out of its relevant section or cause some other formatting problem.
- Edit before adding. Some pictures will look much better, or fit an article more appropriately if they are cropped to show the relevant subject.

Hello, I'm Ian.thomson. I noticed that you made a change to an article, Zecharia Sitchin, but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so! If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. Ian.thomson (talk) 18:19, 14 December 2012 (UTC)

Hello, I'm BracketBot. I have automatically detected that your edit to Saint Joseph may have broken the syntax by modifying 1 "<>"s. If you have, don't worry: just edit the page again to fix it. If I misunderstood what happened, or if you have any questions, you can leave a message on my operator's talk page.
