Kangana Ranaut edit
Hey, how are you, you said that I can revert Kangana Ranaut's edit to my version but with reliable source. I don't think that It would look nice to add reliable source in the "no edit summary". So kindly allow me to revert my edits. If you have any problem, message me on my talk page. Janu Gee (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 10:38, 10 February 2017 (UTC)

Jim...this page is about Au basketball - not Bama or UAB...in a series that is only 19 games long a 4-game win streak is indeed significant - the longest win streak in series history...yes UAB leads the series 10-9 BUT they have not won a game since 1997! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Vulcan1812 (talk • contribs) 00:05, 30 January 2017 (UTC)

Question
Hi, I'm wondering if you know what the protocol is if you suspect one editor is using multiple IP addresses to edit the same articles. I've read over Wikipedia:Sock puppetry and it seems to deal more with named accounts rather than IP addresses. I think that all of these IP addresses are being used by the same person:
I left messages requesting this user to register an account, but I haven't received a response. These generally seem like good faith and productive edits, but it concerns me that one individual appears to be using multiple accounts. Thanks for any thoughts you may have. Marquardtika (talk) 16:24, 30 January 2017 (UTC)
- @Marquardtika: Some IPs are more dynamic than others. Might be using a coffee shop or other public wifi. The red flag is when the IP is blocked and then edits with another IP. That would be grounds for a range block or wp:DENY Another block-worthy issue is the IP impersonating multiple people to sway opinion on AfDs or talk pages. At first glance, it appears that IP list is editing entirely different articles. I don't see any obvious problem. None have block history. Any other problems that you see with these IPs? (BTW: if you use
{{userlinks|205.251.68.91}}
That will list most info). Cheers Jim1138 (talk) 21:28, 30 January 2017 (UTC)
- Got it, thanks! And thanks also for the userlinks tip. Marquardtika (talk) 21:31, 30 January 2017 (UTC)
Michael Jeter
@Jim1138: Thanks for your note. I am not a prolific editor on Wikipedia, but I have been making edits, from time to time, for many years, certainly over a decade.
One of the many good things about Wikipedia is that there is no single arbiter of what information is useful. Granted, things can fall into disarray if nobody ever reverts anyone else's edits, but I would advise restraint when taking such actions. The fact that a phrase is not written the way that you would write it (or the fact that it exists at all) is not necessarily grounds for you to remove it.
It is not uncommon for artists who have won top awards in multiple discplines (Oscar/Grammy/Tony/Emmy, mostly) to be referred to as "Tony and Emmy Award-winning." Mr Jeter's Tony award was an enormous accomplishment in his career and, to the extent that the Emmy is mentioned in his introduction, it makes sense that the Tony would be mentioned there as well. You could also argue that his awards might not be mentioned at all, but as you know, there are a variety of editorial styles represented on Wikipedia in this regard. Editorial styles are subjective, of course.
Just as I was entitled to change the page in a way that seemed, to me, to be useful, you are certainly entitled to change the page in a way that you believe makes the page even better. But to simply revert an edit, because you would not have made that particular edit... that goes beyond what I think it reasonable oversight. It discourages community participation in the project. Perhaps that is your goal. But it has been the effect. I am now less likely to throw in my extremely-occasional two cents next time I see information that I think might be useful.
Oh, and I realize "If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox" is just boilerplate, but obviously what I was doing was not experimentation. It was a perfectly reasonable, good-faith edit. And that sentence is a bit patronizing. I don't edit much, but I do know the difference between a real edit and playing around.
In the end, I suppose the ultimate "winner" of this dispute will be whichever of us has more stamina to argue about what is and is not a constructive edit to the late Michael Jeter's page. And I suspect you will come out on top there. So... knock yourself out. These paragraphs of thoughts are probably more involved than I should have gotten.

- @ReadParse: The odd thing I noticed was that here you changed Butt Nine (play) to Butt Nine (play) which is a wp:redlink. I tried various Google searches and without finding any play. Is there a Butt Nine play? Was this intentional or an accident? Cheers Jim1138 (talk) 21:33, 30 January 2017 (UTC)
- @Jim1138: Well that's embarrassing. It turns out that your problem was not with my legitimate edit, but with one that was unintentional. Yowsa. OK, I'll explain. I have this "Butt-to-butt" Chrome extension, which replaces all occurrences of "butt" to "butt", and all occurrences of "my butt" to "my butt". "Butt" is so overused that it's really funny, but it seems that it even happened in the article content that I was editing. So, like I said... super embarrassing. And it reveals that I didn't even preview my change, which is a problem. Ugh, so embarrassing. If you can't tell, I was having a bad day yesterday. Sorry about that.

- Yeah, it did it again :) So I turned off the extension just now, so it will leave my post alone. Here's what I wrote: Well that's embarrassing.

Windows 10 version history
Hi.
In response to your message, I have not removed content from the Windows 10 Version History page. I have switched the changelogs from paragraph to bullet-point format, as many users find it easier to find a certain feature.
After seeing the multiple mentions of "copyright violation" and plagiarism on the Windows 10 Version History talk page, I have browsed through the Windows 10 Insider blog, and listed new features in my own words.
Adding helpful content is what Wikipedia is about, and without the list of features, the page is worthless.

Bacon's cipher reversion
Hello, I recently made an edit to the Bacon's cipher page. In the 'Baconian cipher example' section the sentence "To encode a message each letter of the plaintext is replaced by a group of five of the letters 'A' or 'B'." is supposed to be part italicised such that it encodes the word 'steganography'. I.e. To encode a message each letter of the plaintext is replaced by a group of five of the letters 'A' or 'B'.

Hi Jim,
I'm still getting the hang of how to provide sources and I have a lot of knowledge of Cole from one of his dancers Matt Mattox and from the booK UNSUNG GENIUS.
Is it because I deleted the term "dance-training workshop"? I apologize if this is the case, however, those dancers were under contract and they were paid $125 a week (which was a lot back then) so I find the term inaccurate when trying to understand the dance industry in this day and age. I think it's an important distinction too. If you get paid it's called a "company" and hundreds of dance schools (including DANCE MOMS Abby-Lee are calling their student groups a "dance company"!!!
Peace. I didn't mean any harm,

Your deletion of my edits o the Port Moresby page
Hello Jim
I would be grateful if you could clarify what you want me to reference. For instance, I removed the typical white slag of Sir Michael Somare, which provided no source for the statement that the mansion offered him was not as mansionous as he preferred -- my memory is that he told the Australians that as PM of the country, he would make the decision about where and how he lived, not them, a perfectly justified position in my view. Are there other national leaders referred to in Wikipedia so disrespectfully? So where is the source for that and how come it is allowed to remain unedited?
There never was a "Territory of Papua and New Guinea" except as an administrative instrument -- Papua remained Australian territory until the day of independence, and New Guinea remained United Nations Trust Territory until the day of independence. Their merging into one occurred at independence when the nation of Papua New Guinea was born.
I was there, a working journalist at the time. 1963-77. Now I am back. 2010-?
I despaired of the last section; thought I would give it some work some time in the future. The biggest single sport doesn't really get a mention, Rugby League, which references the NRL in Australia. It is so big that Austrlian NRL stars are used in health and road safety promotions. Soccer used to be big but it has dwindled on the vine; cricket was never more than a Papuan aberration. The United States didn't form an oil company, for God's sake, Esso came in.
the head office of PNG Air gets a mention -- no argument with that -- but it is the small brother. Where is big brother in airline terms, Air Niugini, with domestic flights all over and lots of international destinations? Come on, mate!!!
So all this unsourced and sometimes where rubbish remains, but my knowledgeable additions get scrubbed?
I would like to see some justification for this.

Yes, edit is correct
Hi Jim,
Mark Goodley/david ben pesach
The edit is factually correct... and very well known since the Dead Sea Scrolls were published. The percentages cited, documents, etc. are all public.
....Unless you want to cite and use the entire Old and New Testaments for further evidence...
If you look at what is written, I don't think anything is controversial in any way.
... unless you want to consider the Pope's position, but he and it are on record, TV, etc...
Best,
markdg — Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.169.224.92 (talk) 00:17, 3 February 2017 (UTC)
This was largely believed until the Dead Sea Scrolls (50BCE-200 AD) were discovered and translated, revealing a very different story. 95% of all scroll writing is in Hebrew, including most all "daily" documents including land transfers, sales, material purchases, etc. Only (approx.) 3% of discovered Dead Sea writings are in Aramaic, supposedly those written to gentiles/pagans. 2% were written in Greek, which makes perfect sense as they had been there for 300 years. The Aramaic first came around 730 BC but wasn't understood by Jews until much later (Is 35). (The Romans only came to Judea around 60 BC under Pompei). It is now very clear that the spoken and written daily language of Jews was Hebrew, Not Aramaic. For further evidence and clarification look at the surprising examples from the New Testament, the many examples of Jesus. For example. At the Transfiguration, Jesus Spoke to Moses And Elijah... only one possibility exists, and it's Hebrew not Aramaic. Jesus Spoke and read Isaiah in/at The Temple and Galilee synagogues... and all the people listened And understood... again, only one possibility, Hebrew, Not Aramaic. The minted coins were all in Hebrew, not Aramaic. The people cried out Hosanna, Hebrew, not Aramaic...Paul said that Jesus spoke to him in Hebrew, not Aramaic. So despite Pope Francis's denial that Jesus spoke Hebrew (only Aramaic), there are many many examples to easily prove this belief false. In fact, the evidence strongly suggests that it is very likely that most educated people spoke multiple languages fluently, much like the majority of Europe today. It is commonly excepted that Saul/Paul spoke and wrote in Hebrew, Greek, Aramaic, Syriac, and probably some Latin as well. The evidence and 1st century witnesses state that many of the books of the New Testament were originally written in Hebrew such as Matthew, Hebrews, and Revelations. These "originals" have been lost, likely/probably due to the Temple destruction and deportations of 70 and 132 AD...
Hi Jim,
Greetings;
mark d goodley/david ben pesach
please note my prior reply...
ie/Everything written is either common knowledge (New and Old Testaments) or public domain. The percentages, documents, etc. for example have all been in the public domain for decades....with many books on the topic.
The only possible "rustled feathers" might be the Pope's position... but it was made on world wide TV and cannot hardly be disputed.
I am somewhat new to Wikipedia, but saw the obvious lack of information and aged position...
But you know what? Galileo walked up a tower and dropped two balls, forever disproving 2,000 years of teaching, "knowledge", and belief... but you know what the schools continued to teach for 150 years thereafter?

I won't both adding the sources for the Gravity's Rainbow genres, because it's kind of silly to have citations for some and not for others.

Elliott Blackstone
This is my Grandfather and we've tried several times to get his information corrected. One being his birth place. Wikipedia has my great grandfather death place as my grandfather's birth place. My grandfather father Elliott R. Blackstone was born in Aurora, Kane, Illinois, on October 30, 1948. He was a great man and I think his details should be corrected. Especially now that the Compton Riot area that he work with is becoming the first district of it kind in the nation. So I would appreciate to making these corrections. I thought me saying I was fixing my grandfather birth place was adequate enough and if my name is on there it needs to be with the last name Blackstone. Ty ahead of time...

Ok i am hating this mailing system here. And it's horrible trying to make the simplest of changes. Though it says he grew up there it never states he was born there. As I have heard it from his own lips plus I have our lineage chart going back over 300 yrs that I know of, I would tend to think i know the truth. Especially since for the for the first couple of years Wikipedia didn't even have his named spelled correctly. And since I do talks and activist work in his honor along with my daughter, I know more about him then you will ever know. So if you could just assist me in making the changes properly i would be very greatful.

Into the triangle there is the world connected by the internet. I used a silver background because it reminds to the machines that create the connections and store the data.

Punjab legislative assembly election, 2017 page
Dear Jim, I am sorry I removed all the opinion polls that did not have a [number] beside them as I thought they were fake polls. Thank you for restoring. However, I have noticed someone keeps changing the February 2017 poll numbers. If you click the number source link for Feb 2017, it says AAP 63 Inc 43 SAD 11. Someone keeps making it Inc 73 Aap 33 SAD 11. But this is no where on the website. You can navigate the source on your own: http://www.huffingtonpost.in/2017/02/02/huffpost-cvoter-pre-poll-survey-aam-aadmi-party-set-to-win-punj/?utm_hp_ref=in-homepage Punjab is a region in Asia that has been ruled by an oligarchy of two parties whose relatives are intermarried, the Inc and Sad. Every 5 years either one alternates. They play ethnic divisions to divide us, such as different taxes and tuition fees depending on your ethnicity. The new AAP is standing for equality, no more ethnic vs ethnic, it will be poor vs rich. They stand for e-governance (the old parties have been known to steal a lot of funds), and AAP wants to make the budget accessible online, so people can see where the money goes. If you could please monitor people putting incorrect numbers for AAP, which has already won here in Punjab, is leading in exit polls. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.71.199.60 (talk) 09:14, 4 February 2017 (UTC)

In the case of Ebola, a cytokine storm can be thought of as an SOS signal which causes the immune system to launch all of its weapons at once in a desperate kamikaze attack. While this hurts the virus it also leaves behind tons of collateral damage, especially in the blood vessels. Paradoxically, the healthier the immune system the more damage it can do to itself. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 108.181.33.57 (talk) 05:38, 7 February 2017 (UTC)

Jon F. Vein
Hi Jim1138. This reversion at Jon F. Vein [6] wasn't made because of an unwillingness to sort through content. To the contrary, I, and to a lesser extent another account, spent some time plucking the unsourced and public relations-style content from the article; I was merely reverting to the last decent version. I write this because I don't want to give the COI account the impression that this is done haphazardly. I've started a discussion at the COI noticeboard.

I've made some changes to the Tuna Canyon Detention Station Wikipedia page. You've rescinded them but I have re-inserted them. I am a member of the Tuna Canyon Detention Station Board and its primary historian, and I have been researching this camp for the past three years, including several trips to the National Archives.

My changes to the Port Moresby entry
@Jim1138: Thursday, 09 February 2017
Hello Jim
You have not replied to my reply to you regarding the changes I made to the Port Moresby entry.
I was shocked when I read that entry, replete as it is with biased statements and a racist undertone -- practically an overtone. NOT what I expect from Wikipedia.
You asked for citations. In respect of stuff surrounding Independence, I was there, Jim, and I was reporting on it daily as an editor at the NBC. I was writing stuff that people cite.
In respect of Port Moresby today, as a resident of Papua New Guinea again, now living in Kokopo in the islands, I am a frequent visitor to Port Moresby.
In respect of the matter of the Papuan carriers -- the sources are many which I have read over many years. Further, back in the day (the 70s), I talked with survivors. They were press-ganged. Many died of starvation, disease, cold. But they kept the Australian troops alive -- who were also dying of starvation, disease, and cold, along with Japanese bullets and grenades and stuff.
The nature of their recruitment and reward are a perpetual shame to Australia, the nature of their service has only fairly recently been publicly acknowledged with a memorial near Koki, Port Moresby. Still nothing has been made for them alongside those who served in uniform at Bomana War Cemetery (Bomana means "brother" -- well, WTF does a bro do better than die supporting you in a life and death struggle?).
Try reading [1] by Peter Brune. He gives a pretty good round up of the situation.
An author from the nation that had a whole shipload of well paid troops who refused to fight at Buna and Gona is not well placed to slag others pressed into service with a few shillings as their non-negotiable pay -- of they lived long enough to collect it.

I just noticed that you undid my edit to Vaccines. I am a researcher, psychiatrist and neuroscientist at stanford and added this section based on an abstract that has been accepted at MedicineX.

- May I suggest getting an wp:account? It appears that your IP changes, making it difficult to communicate.
- I checked the link added to digital vaccines and did not see anything mentioned about digital vaccines. Perhaps one needs to be logged in? As I could not verify your edit, I removed it.
- To add content, you would need to wp:cite a wp:reliable source (RS).
- Regarding if it should be added to vaccine, I would suggest you ask Doc James? He is a physician, long time Wikipedia editor and wp:administrator and would have a better idea if it could be added. Cheers Jim1138 (talk) 08:47, 10 February 2017 (UTC)
Thanks @Jim1138:. I have contributed to wikipedia a few times in the past about areas related to my research but have just created an account per your suggestion. I don't think a stanford login is needed to access the abstract although you need to dig in to scroll down to the bottom of that page and click through the preliminary program to locate it. Although, I am also not sure if the computer needs to be registered with SUNetID (stanford's network) to get access to the abstracts. I will try to find out from our department's network administrator. The online abstract i cited is available at http://medicinex.stanford.edu/medicine-x-ed-2017-preliminary-program/#1484722189887-a3a541f7-76d0 To locate the abstract you can scroll to the very bottom of the page showing the "preliminary program". The specific tab under the preliminary program section, which you can click on, is the tab for "Engagement Learning Design". You will find the abstract under the Poster Presentation section at the bottom with the title Developing a digital vaccine based on neuropsychology and cognitive behavior therapy to reduce the risk of lifestyle diseases. The peer reviewed abstract is the first in the list with the name of the author. For sake of disclosure, I am on the abstract review committee for the conference at Stanford School of Medicine but I was not among the reviewers of this particular abstract submission nor do I have any conflict of interest with this research. I do know that that the abstract scored very highly from all the reviewers and builds upon previous peer reviewed breakthrough results shown by pioneering methods developed by Prakash et al.

Thank you for trying to keep Wikipedia free of vandalism. However, one or more edits you labeled as vandalism, such as the edit at Sandhawalia, are not considered vandalism under Wikipedia policy.

Anna Mosca Page Under Construction
I respect you doing what you do, however, could you not be so fast as to threaten my work as soon as I start, since I have the following:
1) 4 years of absence from here to reacquaint myself with navigating my way around here again 2) A brutally slow computer that crashes a lot, hangs even more, and frustrates me frequently 3) 6 incidences of Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) that makes your 1 hour of work a 6-9 hour ordeal for me on a GOOD DAY 4) A sleep disorder related to #3 above that exacerbates everything else to make my life pretty challenging as a disabled USAF, service-connected injured Veteran.
Half of this formatting is akin to the ancient days of DOS formatting, Machine Language and/or HTML code-writing, etc. which I cannot master, no matter how hard I try, after 38 years. And when you have an entrenched case of brain fog that cannot focus on too much flip-flopping between pages to quadruple check every little jot and tittle every other minute.
And telling me to try and memorize all the how-to's just adds more misery to the woodpile of things this enbattled gray matter can't handle. Just looking down at the bottom of this text dialog box with all those strange symbols makes my eyes glaze over with pain to even wonder what they do, mean, etc., where I will NEVER go!!!
I am doing my best with 14-plus hours of time invested, just to make half of a page that I might function (I hope!!!) And it has taken me nearly 40 minutes just to write this, due to text hanging, mistyping, etc. Where's the grace to soldier through this, and then let this all come out in the wash in due season? Good Heavens Man, you can't clean your fish before you catch them!!!
Unless you have a 2-clicks, cut and paste fix-all, cure-all solution to this, my volunteer work that keeps me going is going to really be a nightmare rather than a blessing to me and those I am trying to help...
Any suggestions? I am fresh out of ideas... Thank you for understanding, I hope! MDSeverson Mdseverson (talk) 12:37, 14 February 2017 (UTC)

My changes to the DC Lottery webpage are accurate and the verification is posted.

Regarding the page , https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kanthapuram_A.P._Aboobacker_Musliyar
Hello Jim, I am Luqman. I just edited the introductory content of Kanthapuram A.P Aboobacker Musliyar article but you replaced it. I edited it because some of the data were not updated and disorder. I wanted to give a nice structure to the essay adding adequate and relevant links. but i still don't understand why did you remove it.
Sectarian violence in Iraq was actually a civil war
Hey dude, I just would love to tell you guys that the "Sectarian violence in Iraq (2006–07)" must be renamed to the "Iraqi Civil War (2006-08) since the civil war was going one more year and the civil war was not only between Shi'ites and sunnis, but it's also between Mahdi Army and other armies and the Iraqi government. — Preceding unsigned comment added by IbrahimWeed (talk • contribs) 11:01, 15 February 2017 (UTC)

Change on Abington Heights School District wikipedia page
Hi Jim, I am following up about one of the changes I made to the Abington Heights School District wikipedia page. To remind you, I wrote at the bottom of the general summary after the sentence "The High School Orchestra and Chorus..." that "Some of the high school's All-State alumni include Kate Glidewell (Chorus '14 '15), Joe Sileo (Band '14), Nicholas Beckish (Orchestra '15), and Richard Ling (Orchestra '15 '16)."

Need some help :)
Hi Jim,
I would like to thank you for all the time and effort you have spent in keeping Wikipedia accurate as possible.
I see that you are a very experienced Wikipedia editor therefore, I am messaging you in the hope of getting some help/advice.
I was reading through the "Insurgency in Balochistan" and I have identified some misinformation/lies. on the fourth paragraph it states that "Baloch militants have targeted minority communities such as Hazara Shia on the basis of their religious beliefs." this is totally wrong. Baluch nationalists do not target people based on their religious beliefs. The whole paragraph is false. The Hazara community has always been targeted by radical Islamist groups such as the Lashkar-e-Jhangvi and Sipah-e-Sahaba both were founded in Punjab and are non Baluch organisations. These are clear facts that you can confirm by doing a simple Google search. The paragraph also does not provide any references regarding what is written in it except a timeline of the attacks on the Hazara community. The whole paragraph is aimed at defaming Baluch nationalist by portraying them as religious extremists when in fact they're quite the opposite.
I sincerely request and hope that you take the necessary actions to get rid of this misinformation.
If you require additional information please do let me know.
Thank You

- @Nouman Baluch: I am not sure which article you are referring to here. Would you please add a link and suggest the specific section? Thanks Jim1138 (talk) 00:24, 19 February 2017 (UTC)
- @Jim1138: Hi, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Insurgency_in_Balochistan this is the link to the article. it is the fourth paragraph which i am referring to, the one that starts with "Baloch militants have targeted minority communities such as Hazara Shia on the basis of their religious beliefs." Thanks!
- @Nouman Baluch: I wouldn't classify it as totally wrong since the Hazara are being targeted, just apparently not by "Baloch militants". The best way to lie is to have it mostly truthful. I would suggest that you lay out your case on talk:Insurgency in Balochistan. Use wp:reliable sources to support your points. Then, remove the erroneous content with an edit summary "removed misleading information, see talk page". This way someone else won't revert your edits (again). See wp:talk page guidelines (Please remember to sign your talk with four tildes "~~~~") Cheers Jim1138 (talk) 11:32, 19 February 2017 (UTC)
- @Jim1138: I am not able to edit the page for some reason, when i make a change and try to save it the page never loads. Yes Hzaras are being targeted but this has nothing to do with baluch militants, therefore, that paragraph doesn't belong there. You can do a simple google search and you'll find who is targeting the hazara community, saying that the baluch militants target hazara is an outright lie.
- @Nouman Baluch: Not sure what the problem is, but if you can't edit it, I wouldn't be able to do so either. Wikipedia does sometimes glitch. There are also wp:Edit filters which you may have inadvertently hit. Try a Help:Dummy edit Cheers Jim1138 (talk) 20:06, 19 February 2017 (UTC)
Editing of Luboš Motl page
Hi Jim1138, You (or someone else) have signaled the edit I made to Luboš Motl's page as possible vandalism and reverted the article to its preceding state. While I understand getting suspicious on edits on biographies of living persons I don't understand why did this suspicion survive after reading the edit. What I wrote is verifiable, and not from questionable sources, as has instead been signaled. The sources I cite, of course, are from Motl's blog, a (self-published) personal blog, but it neither is:
- used as a (questionable source) on some topic of which the author is not a well-known expert;
- used as a self-published source giving information about living people different from the author.
It is a self-published source on itself. More explicitly, it is not even the author talking about his past or his purported aims, it is the author talking for himself expressing his own view.
It is not as using his page where he asserts he has always been against immigration, etc., to report that he always has; it is using his page where he asserts that he is against immigration, etc., to report that he stated he shared that view at the time of publication of his blog entry; I hope the point is clear.
What has to be verified is exactly that he stated A on his blog, so the only way to reliably source such a claim is to point to where he has said A on his blog. I can't think of something better at least.
Note that to avoid making more generic claims harder to justify on the base of the cited entries of the blog I have just reported the specific things he has said, almost with the same wording, as can be verified from the first quote I used (for what concerns gay couples).
I hope you agree with my comment, or give me reasons why you don't.
I won't try to revert the article to its preceding state and will be waiting for you or someone else to do that, since there is no reason why that bit of information had to be cancelled, in terms of unsourced material at least.

@Georgeahaws: The article is named Church of Christ (Latter Day Saints). You changed the link to Church of Christ (Latter-day Saints) which is a wp:redlink and doesn't take you anywhere. That is why I reverted you. If you want to get the article renamed, I suggest you open a discussion on talk:Church of Christ (Latter Day Saints). Personally, I don't care either way.
