Shenism
Hi Alex (if I may);

Welcome, if you are a newcomer to Wikipedia, with the hope that you will continue.

Also a quick explanation of why in several articles I reveresed your additions of "Shenism" as equivalent to "Chinese folk religion". This question was discussed several years ago at Chinese folk religion, archived here. In brief, the term was coined for specifically Southeast Asian use, not as a general descriptor of Chinese religion or Chinese folk religion. The use of "shenism" is quite rare, even for SE Asia, as explained in the discussion linked above, so mentioning it as a synonym is WP:Undue. Another reason to avoid it is that many of the (few) uses in other places pick up the term from Wikipedia, resulting in a WP:Circular reference.

Another pointer to keep in mind is that it is WP policy to explain your edits in the little box at the end of the preview view. It is called "edit summary." I notice that you do not do so.ch (talk) 17:39, 1 July 2019 (UTC)
