Heathenry in Canada
Hi Darren,

Is there a reason you are interested in the page "Heathenry in Canada" in particular? It appears you have been making edits to reformat in the past few months. My own interest is in having accurate information on the page more than formatting, which I am still new to. If I am doing things wrong from a technical perspective that is user error, not lack of knowledge on this subject area. My recent revisions were to reflect more current information. (Please see below sections for details.) However, I can see that previous edits reflecting similar material were added by other editors over the last few months and have also been reverted. Just trying to understand the problem so we can move forward.

Linking to Groups
You previously deleted a bunch of links in December, and a number of them were definitely dead, so they did require revision. However, the ones I recently added are active groups or organizations that people who find this page would be interested in. These include Raven's Knoll which is a sacred site and festival site related to Heathenry/Neo-Paganism which is already mentioned on the wiki page, as well as The Heathen Confederation of Canada, and the Facebook Group for Saskatchewan Heathens. In addition, I see you have removed further links to groups in the Facebook Groups section which you had previously created.

Heathen Confederation of Canada
The paragraph you reverted at the top that I added was to update new information on Heathenry in Canada, including the newly formed organization, The Heathen Confederation of Canada, which is having an instrumental impact in the way Heathenry in Canada is viewed by the public. I had not finished making all the edits I wanted last night as I ran out of time. However, sourcing material on this subject is difficult given there are only approximately 805 Heathens in Canada. The information I had added in this section is paraphrased from this org's current bylaws on their webpage, which unfortunately is currently a Wordpress page due to how young the organization is. They have promised to update it to a proper webpage soon, having just elected their first non-provisional board in December of 2021. When that happens I will be happy to link to that more trustworthy source.

Heathenry in Saskatchewan
I am trying to more broadly make sure this subject is accurate on this page, with the intent to add more about regional differences in the Saskatchewan region in the next couple of days. I just want to know if I continue to make changes to this page how to avoid these revisions being reverted. The Saskatchewan groups are very small and only use Facebook at this point to organize. This is a funding/population size issue, so I am not sure the work around for citing if that were to be an issue.

made a mistake.
You ask me to leave a message on your talk page if I believe you made a mistake. Does this imply that you could not have made any mistake and that I could only perceive it as a mistake unless you agreed? And yes, I believe you made a mistake. Knowledge1253 (talk) 08:21, 6 January 2022 (UTC)


 * Hi @Knowledge1253. Everybody can make mistakes. I've just noticed I missed your previous message above, although I'm not sure I understand it. Can you explain in a little more detail what you would like to discuss please? Darren-M   talk  10:26, 6 January 2022 (UTC)

I do not wish to discuss anything with you. Sorry for the mistake I made which compelled you to edit me Knowledge1253 (talk) 10:55, 6 January 2022 (UTC)

WP:AFC Helper News
Hello! I wanted to drop a quick note for all of our AFC participants; nothing huge and fancy like a newsletter, but a few points of interest. Short and sweet, but there's always more to discuss at WT:AFC. Stop on by, maybe review a draft on the way? Whether you're one of our top reviewers, or haven't reviewed in a while, I want to thank you for helping out in the past and in the future.

 * AFCH will now show live previews of the comment to be left on a decline.
 * The template db-afc-move has been created - this template is similar to db-move when there is a redirect in the way of an acceptance, but specifically tells the patrolling admin to let you (the draft reviewer) take care of the actual move.
