Welcome to Wikipedia. We appreciate your contributions, but in one of your recent edits to Jesus H. Christ, it appears that you have added original research, which is against Wikipedia's policies. Original research refers to material—such as facts, allegations, ideas, and personal experiences—for which no reliable, published sources exist; it also encompasses combining published sources in a way to imply something that none of them explicitly say. Please be prepared to cite a reliable source for all of your contributions. Thank you. David Brooks (talk) 01:37, 22 April 2019 (UTC)
 * If this is a shared IP address, and you did not make the edits, consider creating an account for yourself or logging in with an existing account so you can avoid further irrelevant notices.

Does the List of Billboard number-one singles of 1958 source you added (struck and corrected when I saw my mistake) say that today's expression Jesus H Christ is derived from the ancient Greek? Or does it only say how Jesus was written in Greek which means that you made the connection yourself? This is important because of our policy on attributing to a reliable source and not publishing the editors' own conclusions. We need a source that explicitly says that "Jesus H Christ" comes from Koine Greek Ἰησοῦ Χριστοῦ ἡ. (Besides, wouldn't that be Jesus Christ H if it came from Greek?)

 * To be more specific: you provide a citation that the eta character appears in the Greek NT, which I have no reason to doubt, but that does not prove it's a source of the exclamation itself. If it's just your own hunch or supposition, that is what we mean by original research. Note especially the italicized statements in the first paragraph of that policy. You must use as a reference something credible and independent that supports your claim linking the Greek letter to the exclamation. David Brooks (talk) 17:10, 22 April 2019 (UTC)


 * 49.197.49.39, please be aware that restoring your own version several times is a type of edit warring. Please discuss here or on Talk:Jesus H. Christ before restoring the deleted text. Sjö (talk) 18:37, 22 April 2019 (UTC)


 * There's more discussion on Talk:Jesus H. Christ now. David Brooks (talk) 22:21, 22 April 2019 (UTC)
