Please stop
Dear 2603... PLEASE STOP! I can sea you're quite learned in Church matters, but you obviously have no clue yet about how things are done on Wikipedia.


 * 1) No edits without sources, and there is a definition for reliable sources (RS).
 * 2) No edits without a summary, i.e. a short description.
 * No own research.
 * No personal point of view (POW).
 * 1) Use the talk-page to explain controversial changes.
 * It's best to choose a "user name" and allow other editors to have exchanges with you on this talk-page. As it is now, I'm not even sure you'll see this.

And a few more rules along the same lines.

Wikipedia is a group effort, you cannot steamroll over other editors' work without presenting good support for your changes, that is: good sources, useful edit summaries, and ideally talk-page explanations.

One can see that you adopt Church-inspired terms and spelling, which are not acceptable on Wikipedia, such as "Holy Seventh Crusade to the Holy Land" - Seventh Crusade is acceptable, without Holy, and btw, it missed its target and ended up in Egypt. Overcapitalisation of Church terms which don't constitute proper names is also a problem.

I'm quite relaxed, won't make a fuss when you add something useful and plausible w/o indicating the source, but mark it as "citation needed", don't hide it behind existing refs, which if looked up don't contain that info. This way you at least allow others to look up a source and add it later. Not doing that creates such a mess, that the whole paragraph will end up being removed - so you're doing a great unintentional disservice to everyone.

I don't have acces to a computer at this moment, but will make sure to revert all your edits unsupported by sources as soon as I'll get to one. At least some are beyond the pale ("Lord Napoleon"?! BS at any time, but during his service as general in the army of the Directorate, the worst of all BS), most others are just unsourced if nothing else. I usually hate bulk-reverts, but you went far too far here and it is your duty to work carefully, not mine or anyone else's to take the edits 1 by 1 and find the few acceptable ones.
