Please do not add or change content, as you did at Jacques de Molay, without citing a reliable source. Please review the guidelines at Citing sources and take this opportunity to add references to the article. Thank you. Chris Troutman ( talk ) 02:05, 21 April 2018 (UTC)

copyright violation
I reverted your edits at Jacques de Molay because you didn't cite your sources. Of course, your editing looks like amatuerish copypaste editing, so I took a look and found that you stole that material from http://www.knightstemplarorder.org/templar-survival/. Please note that Wikipedia forbids stealing copyrighted content. The website in question is clear about the fact that they own that content. Further, I don't think that website is a reliable source so even if you re-wrote the text in your own words and gave credit where due, it still wouldn't be allowable. Finally, you added content to the lede when it would belong in the body of the article, if at all. There's already a mention about this in the section about the Chinon Parchment, so I can only assume that you seek to tilt at windmills. That behavior will not be tolerated, either.

 * Thank you, and apologies I'm new at this, although I am authorised to use this material and my source is Pope Clement V, Chinon Parchment (1308), Vatican Secret Archives, “Archivum Arcis Armarium” D 217-218; Replica Parchments, Processus Contra Templarios, Scrinium, Venice, Italy (2008). I again apologies for not using correct protocols.Chsharpe (talk) 02:42, 21 April 2018 (UTC)
