Joseph of Arimathea[edit]

I've removed your edit because of the source. Ralph Ellis is a fringe, self-published writer, and doesn't meet our criteria at WP:VERIFY and WP:RS - and it was he who added his own publiction. Here's a reliable source [1]. Dougweller (talk) 09:45, 13 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The reference I gave is the Vulgate Cycle, the original source; a series of books that is difficult to locate and is not on the net. The populist book is just easier to locate the quotes in. And the reference you gave does not mention Josephus. Are you saying it is better to make up references, rather than use real ones? Disranter (talk) 16:32, 13 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Additionally, you may not know this, but Wikipedia policy prohibits editors from making more than three reverts on an article in a 24-hour period. Exceeding that limit may lead to a block. Additionally, editors may be blocked for edit warring even if they do not exceed the 3 revert limit. I've posted some feedback on the talk page; let's discuss it there.--Cúchullain ^t/c 17:14, 13 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
