Hello, I'm Chiswick Chap. I noticed that you added or changed content in an article, Christianity in Middle-earth, 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. You can have a look at referencing for beginners. If you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page.

I already explained to you that all material in lead section MUST reflect already-cited materials in article body. You cannot change the lead by edit-warring wrong materials into it, it won't work and you'll be blocked from editing.

In case this is not crystal clear, the way to improve an article is

a) to obtain consensus that a change is needed;

b) to find suitable reliable sources (textbooks, academic journal articles) that support the change;

c) to add the new materials to the ARTICLE BODY;

d) to cite the new text to the reliable sources, using the same citation style in use in the article.

One other thing: (e) you seem to be trying to change the article's diction from British English, in which it is written, to American English. This is NOT DONE, except with wide consensus, which is unlikely given that Tolkien was English, and that all Middle-earth articles are in British English.

I do hope this is clear to you now. If you add a vague claim to the lead when (a) to (d) have not been completed, and incidentally violate (e) as well, you are immediately raising a string of error flags, one after the other, and the system will come down on you – rightly – like a ton of bricks. If in addition you feel you can do this repeatedly, as you have now attempted, you are also breaking the rules on edit-warring, indeed you're heading towards disruptive editing, for which sanctions are of course available. In a word, therefore, stop, or do things properly. All the best, Chiswick Chap (talk) 08:24, 30 August 2021 (UTC)
