Ratical.org
You've added material to Sons of Liberty sourced to the above website. After looking it over, I'm not certain that it fits our definition of a WP:reliable source, so I've reverted your edits. I suggest that if you're interested in continuing to use this source, you start a discussion on the WP:Reliable sources noticeboard about whether the community considers ratical.org to be a reliable source. Until that determination is made, please do not add any information to articles which is cited to ratical.org. Thanks. Beyond My Ken (talk) 18:05, 20 April 2021 (UTC)


 * Hi, AmericanLiberty54, and welcome to Wikipedia! I noticed your further edit to Sons of Liberty after BMK's message above. Thank you for following User:Beyond My Ken's suggestions about not using that source, and finding another one, namely this one, which equates to "The Tammany Times" of 1901.  A couple of issues about this edit:
 * The citation you added is what is called a WP:BAREURL reference. Please see Help:Footnotes for some more information about how to format footnotes.
 * See the citation-series of templates. Help on this is available at Help:CS1. A better citation for your source might look like this:
 * (Note in particular, the much shorter url here, than in the citation you added.)
 * However, I ended up reverting this edit as well, even with the Tammany Times source. My feeling in this case, is that content about who the "patron saint" is for the Sons of Liberty is too minor a point for inclusion in an encyclopedia article. The governing policy in Wikipedia about this, would be WP:DUEWEIGHT. Roughly speaking, given everything that's ever been reliably written and recorded about the Sons of Liberty, how much of that material is about the patron saint? My guess is, only a tiny, tiny amount. I attempted to verify this, by going to Google books and pulling up sources about Sons of Liberty, and checking if they contained anything on patron saints. I couldn't find anything.  This leads me to believe, it is too minor to include in an encyclopedia article about the topic, which by its nature, is much briefer than a book-length treatment of the topic. If you disagree, please let me know where and how you heard about patron saint in connection with this group, and why you think it is worthy of inclusion in the article. A good place to do that, would be at a new discussion at Talk:Sons of Liberty.  (See WP:TALK for tips on Talk page usage.)
