[edit] Welcome to Wikipedia. Everyone is welcome to contribute to the encyclopedia, but when you add or change content, as you did to the article Paleo-Hebrew alphabet, please cite a reliable source for your addition. This helps maintain our policy of verifiability. See Wikipedia:Citing sources for how to cite sources, and the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you.

Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute to the encyclopedia, one or more of the external links you added to the page Sacred Name Bibles do not comply with our guidelines for external links and have been removed. Wikipedia is not a collection of links; nor should it be used as a platform for advertising or promotion, and doing so is contrary to the goals of this project. Because Wikipedia uses nofollow tags, external links do not alter search engine rankings. If you feel the link should be added to the article, please discuss it on the article's talk page before reinserting it. Please take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing constructively to this encyclopedia. Thank you. Elizium23 (talk) 07:03, 12 November 2011 (UTC)
Hello Mrjonathan2000. If you are affiliated with some of the people, places or things you have written about in the article Sacred Name Bibles, you may have a conflict of interest. In keeping with Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy, edits where there is a conflict of interest, or where such a conflict might reasonably be inferred, are strongly discouraged. If you have a conflict of interest, you should avoid or exercise great caution when:
- editing or creating articles related to you, your organization, or its competitors, as well as projects and products they are involved with;
- participating in deletion discussions about articles related to you, your organization or its competitors; and
- linking to the Wikipedia article or website of your organization in other articles (see Wikipedia:Spam).
Please familiarize yourself with relevant policies and guidelines, especially those pertaining to neutral point of view, verifiability of information, and autobiographies.

References cited
[edit]Whe citing refences, I thout I could include the link because other links are used on the same page. D I need to include the credentials of and specific names of people for my references? I thought the main web site and city, publisher of book was sufficient. I personally read from this book, the one that i tried to add but I dont work for them or sell anything for them.
I personally found the locked article on Yahweh quite shallow because there is no discussion of the origin of the name nor the person who contributed the name originally. It assumes that there is no debate as to the name of the creator of the three largest relgious sects in the world.

- Sources used should be considered reliable by Wikipedia standards. Many self-published sources have little to no editorial oversight and exist to advance a particular point of view. Wikipedia must present all accepted points-of-view, but some do not rise to the level of inclusion here. You do not appear to be directly employed or affiliated with this site, so I will withdraw the warning about conflict of interest. However, if you have a question about whether a source is reliable or not, you should first seek consensus by writing on the talk page and include a link there for us to examine. You did not include a link when posting to Talk:Yahweh, so I had to search your other contributions to see exactly what you were talking about. As for the discussion of the origin of the name and the linguistics behind it, we have a separate article for that, it is Tetragrammaton. Hope this helps.
