Religious categories
Please do not add or change content without citing verifiable and reliable sources, as you did to Dorothy Morris and many other articles. Please review the guidelines at Citing sources and WP:RS. You commented on Morris' talk page "Her father was a Methodist minister and she herself is still a Methodist based on that." This is explicitly not evidence of a person's religious practice as an adult. Parent's religion or the religion of a childhood home has no bearing on later belief. Please also review WP:BLPCAT, which states "Categories regarding religious beliefs and sexual orientation should not be used unless the subject has publicly self-identified with the belief or orientation in question; and the subject's beliefs or sexual orientation are relevant to their notable activities or public life, according to reliable published sources." This means that we should not be adding information on person's religious beliefs to an article unless there is strong reasons or relevance to their public life. To re-iterate, the default position of Wikipedia is to not add this info in respect of individuals privacy. Thank you. Span (talk) 23:09, 12 October 2010 (UTC)

Signing comments
Hi. In case you didn't know, when you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion, you should sign your posts by typing four tildes ( Spanglej (talk) 00:58, 18 August 2010 (UTC) ) at the end of your comment. If you can't type the tilde character, you should click on the signature button located above the edit window. This will automatically insert a signature with your name and the time you posted the comment. This information is useful because other editors will be able to tell who said what, and when. Thank you!

Spam links template
Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute to the encyclopedia, one or more of the external links you added 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 to this encyclopedia. Thank you.
