I think you could improve your page by telling people who you really are and why you’ve set this wiki page up ? Don’t you think that would be a good idea? It’s doesn’t take Einstein to link who you are. It’s pathetic the agenda you’ve had against this place. Cherryblossom1976 (talk) 13:38, 30 July 2020 (UTC)

Contacted by lawyers
I have not edited any displayed content on the page, only minor edits, cite coding and such. Never the less, at the same time as the page had to be semi-protected due to disruptive editing, I received an email from Shalom House's lawyer - via the WP built-in email facility from a WP editor just registered who has made no edits. He introduced himself by name saying "I am a lawyer, who happens to work for Shalom House (pro bono)", adding "I wanted to have a chat to you about Shalom and some amendments you have made to their Wikipedia page". It's legit and from the law firm as I checked the reply-to address. He stated "I am not contacting you in my capacity as Shalom's lawyer" even though the ph no he wants me to call him on is the law firms, and his email address is also the law firms. I have no intention or wish to respond privately to this person. CatCafe (talk) 22:52, 31 July 2020 (UTC)

maybe because the edits that have been made are not factual and very out dated.

There is several incorrect statements made on this wiki.

For example - they are not men only, the power of attorney is to sort out their finances and pay their debts back - like good people do

No rehab bases the success rate of how many people enter and then finish - that’s silly. It’s a rehab.

You don’t have to be Christian or even become one - that’s very offensive ro the Muslim’s and atheists who have graduated ..

So maybe be a little more factual with your information and do some research and not from hack journalists Cherryblossom1976 (talk) 17:33, 28 September 2022 (UTC)


 * So Cherryblossom - you associated with the group? Sgerbic (talk) 19:41, 28 September 2022 (UTC)
 * Cherryblossom - you inserted many statements and said in your edit summary that things have changed and we should be following updates on the Shalom House Facebook page. You said that a lot of things are new. What you might not understand is that we don't use Facebook pages as evidence of anything. Anything could be written on a group's FB page and it could be incorrect. Also I don't think anyone devotes that much time into "following updates" of a group. We just aren't that invested in a Wikipedia page that we have to have up-to-date information on it. (We aren't following the eye of a hurricane that is making landfall this minute) That is up to good editors who find reliable sources (not FB pages) to do. You should not just shove content into an article based on what you have read on FB. (I can't believe I actually have to write that, seriously OMG) You added a bunch of content and added it in such a way as if you got it out of this article . I've reread this article (which is from 2017 BTW, hardly current) and just the word "phone" is only used twice in the article, and not at all in the way you tried to insert about getting 20-minute calls once a week. In fact the number "20" isn't used in this article at all. If you were me, what should I think of the character of someone who does this? You don't have to read my mind, I don't think that reflects well on you. If you have an agenda, then I suggest you go over to FB and post on your timeline about how amazing you think this group is. If you don't have an agenda and are just so clueless that you think you can just insert whatever into the page and miss-represent what the journalist actually said, then you have a lot to learn. I suggest you spend more time learning about integrity before you edit again. Thank you for reading and have a nice day. Sgerbic (talk) 20:03, 28 September 2022 (UTC)
