January 2017

Hello, I'm Oshwah. Wikipedia is written by people who have a wide diversity of opinions, but we try hard to make sure articles have a neutral point of view. Your recent edit to Victoria, Texas seemed less than neutral to me, so I removed it for now. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks. ~Oshwah~^{(talk) (contribs)} 04:27, 21 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

JWs in Russia

Hello Joshua2001816. I have noticed your edit to the Jehovah's Witnesses article. I will let another more involved editor decide what to do with the addition, although I wanted to let you know that we also have the Jehovah's Witnesses and governments and Persecution of Jehovah's Witnesses articles where this may be more appropriate. It's also important to at least source the paragraph to a news article (which is probably not too difficult to find). Thank you and happy editing, —░]PaleoNeonate█ ⏎ ?ERROR░ 05:07, 7 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Please note that Wikipedia isn't a place for 'breaking news', and the level of detail about a current court case isn't suitable for the main JW article. The court case in Russia is mentioned in the article about Court cases involving Jehovah's Witnesses. It would probably be suitable to also add a sentence to the existing section at Jehovah's Witnesses and governments about the current court case. If the court case has an outcome that is not favourable to the denomination, it may then be suitable for inclusion at Persecution of Jehovah's Witnesses.--Jeffro77 (talk) 23:32, 7 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

April 2017

Hello, I'm General Ization. I noticed that you made a change to an article, Jehovah's Witnesses, 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. Thank you.

Test edits and Wiki Markup

Hello again Joshua2001816. I have noticed your edit and self-revert at the Giant article. Feel free to use sandboxes for experimenting with the syntax (either your own personal sandbox, User:Joshua2001816/sandbox which you can create), or the shared one at WP:SANDBOX. The documentation on the Wikipedia Markup language is at H:WIKICODE. If you intended to create a list in this case, # can be used for numbered lists or * for bullet lists (with extra :, * or # prefixes for additional indentation). Happy editing, — Paleo Neonate — 02:09, 20 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
