January 2019[edit]

Please do not add or change content without citing a reliable source. Please review the guidelines at Wikipedia:Citing sources and take this opportunity to add references to the article. Also, Wikipedia articles need to be written from a neutral point of view, and not used for promoting personal opinions about anything, including religion, no matter how strongly one believes that one's opinion is "the truth".

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. You appear to be repeatedly reverting or undoing other editors' contributions at Great Apostasy. Although this may seem necessary to protect your preferred version of a page, on Wikipedia this is known as "edit warring" and is usually seen as obstructing the normal editing process, as it often creates animosity between editors. Instead of reverting, please discuss the situation with the editor(s) involved and try to reach a consensus on the talk page.

If editors continue to revert to their preferred version they are likely to be blocked from editing Wikipedia. This isn't done to punish an editor, but to prevent the disruption caused by edit warring. In particular, editors should be aware of the three-revert rule, which says that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Edit warring on Wikipedia is not acceptable in any amount, and violating the three-revert rule is very likely to lead to a block. Thank you. bonadea contributions talk 12:49, 22 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Note: You have, in fact, already reverted three times within the past 24 hours, and so you must not restore your proposed text to the article again, as that would be a violation of the three-revert rule. Use the article talk page at Talk:Great Apostasy to discuss your additions, and don't forget to provide a reliable secondary source. --bonadea contributions talk 12:51, 22 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Truth[edit]

You keep making edits with edit summaries that describe what you are writing as "truths". The problem is that what is "true" in religion is very much a matter of opinion. You are clearly convinced that what you have written is the truth, but there are many other people who are equally convinced that it isn't. Wikipedia does not select one religious view and treat it as the truth. There are many web sites that do treat one particular religious belief as the truth, but Wikipedia isn't one of them. If you wish to publicise your own religious beliefs then you are perfectly free to do so, but not on Wikipedia. Breaking sticks (talk) 23:02, 22 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
