Please do not add or change content, as you did at Ash Wednesday, without citing a reliable source. Please review the guidelines at Citing sources and take this opportunity to add references to the article. Thank you. Elizium23 (talk) 03:41, 25 February 2020 (UTC)

Hi, no idea if this will make it to you but I hope it does. Please reverse the corrections. To my knowledge, I cited all valid cites with the real documents of the actual beliefs. What more would you want than the official documents of the churches and their theologians? What you have up there is completely false. One denomination is listed and the historical and current practice of all the others are ignored. That's why I sought to correct the error. Please help fix and let me know if you need anything more from me. Thank you!
 * Thanks for the message. We'll need reliable secondary sources. The references you gave are mostly blogs, which do not have editorial oversight or a reputation for fact-checking. Citing Calvin directly is OK the way you did it, done sparingly and in the right way, but it's a WP:PRIMARY source. Books, scholarly articles, television programs from reputable production houses, those kinds of things would be the reliable sources we're looking for. Try Google Books and Google Scholar if you'd like to search. Elizium23 (talk) 03:30, 11 March 2020 (UTC)


 * Thanks so much for getting back to me. Sorry, I can barely find my way around wiki and don't really know how to cite or anything. Please help. I thought I provided Zwingli's original article; Calvin's also and the Confessions which are well known historical documents posted on a million websites. I can provide a book with the Confessions if that helps? I thought the websites would be support because that's from the denominations themselves. The current Reformed Churches of America paragraph is from a website also, so I was just copying. Would you please help restore the changes and I can add book sources? Although website sources would let people see exactly what is talked about? Thanks so much for your help!
 * If you are citing Calvin, Zwingli, and the Confessions then those are WP:PRIMARY sources and it would be difficult to produce a narrative. You wouldn't be able to do any analysis on your own - that is known as original research. But I won't stop you from trying, as long as you can find non-blog publications that reproduces those writings. You might find help at WP:Citing sources. If you use the WP:Visual Editor, it has a good citation interface; I have been using it, it prompts me for everything I need to enter and I don't have to worry about the fiddly Wikitext syntax.

 * You can also try posting on WP:RX - that's the reference exchange. Someone more knowledgeable could have the sources you need at their fingertips. Elizium23 (talk) 04:45, 11 March 2020 (UTC)
