Editing problems at Diocletianic Persecution
Hi. There are several problems with your edits at the above; I reverted them, all, rather than attempt to adjust. It's best not to make a whole series of edits, as you did, in one hit, unless they are truly minor - spelling or grammatical errors, or what have you You should use the edit-summary facility to explain all but minor edits. That usually means giving explanation of what you've added (and why), and what (if anything) you have removed, especially material that's sourced.

I also noticed that you copied a fairly long and significant sentence from Persecution of Christians in the Roman Empire, but did not acknowledge that you'd done so, or give credit to that article for "your" new content. You didn't import the neccessary citation - just its number. That's not a source. It's OK to borrow stull from other articles, but the borrowing should always be acknowledged, and always sourced.

I don't doubt your good intentions, but please don't attempt too much at one sitting, and make sure your work complies with Wikipedia policies before you save it. Some of what you wrote is actually a shift away from the material's original perspective and neutral viewpoint. (See WP:NPOV) Thanks for reading this. Haploidavey (talk) 14:23, 28 April 2021 (UTC)

By the way, when you copied the sentence from Persecution of Christians in the Roman Empire, the article was in "read-only" mode; so what you copied was what the reader sees, with just a number to represent the source. It's a dead give-away of copy & paste! Haploidavey (talk) 14:27, 28 April 2021 (UTC)
