Your edit to Heli (biblical figure)
Hi - thanks for your contribution to Wikipedia. However I unfortunately had to revert your edit due to a couple of issues with it. First of all, as the article Genealogy of Jesus makes clear, there is considerable disagreement among scholars on this issue and the theory reflected in your edit is perhaps the most widely supported, but still just one of many possible explanations. So the fact that you simply worded it as if it were broadly-accepted fact is a big problem (see WP:UNDUE for more info). Additionally, Wikipedia strongly encourages citing your sources, and that's all the more important when the material is potentially contentious.

I hope this doesn't put you off continuing to contribute! I would agree that the article Heli (biblical figure) needs more explanation of the theory that he was in fact Mary's father - it's only briefly alluded to at present - so you would be more than welcome to rewrite the information in a more Wikipedia-appropriate manner and re-insert it. If you're interested in doing so and need help or run into issues, feel free to ask a question at the Wikipedia Teahouse or to contact me directly. -Elmer Clark (talk) 14:16, 1 May 2021 (UTC)
