Co-Cathedral of St. Joseph (Brooklyn)
Hi. Thanks for your contribution to this article, however I have removed it because this statement:

"This article includes information contributed by Donna L. Angotti, the Diocese of Brooklyn, EverGreene Architectural Arts, Brooklyn Daily Eagle, The Tablet, Acheson Doyle Partners Architects, and Botti Studio of Architectural Arts, Inc."

is not sufficient for sourcing such a large block of information. (It might have been in Wikipedia's past, but it's not acceptable now.) Each piece of information you present must be  specifically  referenced as to where it came from, so that other editors can, if they want or need to, verify that information. Also, the source of the information - whether its a newspaper or an architectural firm - may make a difference as to its neutrality.

I suggest that you take your version of the article (which is available to you here) and, source-by-source, add references to it. You can see the formatting that references take by looking at the references already in the article, by looking at other articles, or by reading WP:References. If you have questions, I'll be happy to help. Once you've finished, you can cut and paste your information back into the article.

Your contribution was a very good addition to the article -- albeit perhaps a bit too detailed -- but we need to be able to verify the information in it, and for that we need it to be specifically, and not generally, sourced. Thanks. BMK (talk) 21:06, 25 May 2015 (UTC)


 * Hi. I got you message on my talk page.  Let's take this a little at a time.


 * The tags simply mark the beginning and the end of a reference. In other words, you write something like: "The church has recently been renovated."  then, right after the period or comma or whatever the punctuation is, you put the end tag which indicates that the reference is finished.


 * You'll notice that inside the reference are a bunch of typographical markings which can do a number of things:


 * two single quote marks (or apostropes) (  ) at the beginning and the end of a piece of text makes it italicized''
 * three single quote marks (or apostropes) (  ) at the beginning and the end of a piece of text makes it bold'''
 * five quote marks (or apostropes) (  ) at the beginning and the end of a piece of text makes it italicized and bold'
 * a single square bracket ( [ and ] ) at the beginning and the end of a text indicates a hyperlink; the format is:
 * opening bracket - the hyperlink - a single space - the text you want dispayed - closing bracket (do not put in the hyphens I've used here)
 * double brackets ( and  ) indicate links within Wikipedia, so the article we've been talking about would be Wikilinked like this: Co-Cathedral of St. Joseph (Brooklyn) which will show up like this Co-Cathedral of St. Joseph (Brooklyn)


 * These mark-ups can be used anywhere on Wikipedia, but but you don't have to worry too much about this at first, other editors will help you out with that. Don;t try to get it perfect the first time out. The important thing is to get those references in there!'  Once you've done that, we can tackle images which are complex for a number of reasons.


 * I hope that you will find this information helpful. BMK (talk) 15:10, 26 May 2015 (UTC)
