The Episcopal Church
Can you please clarify the phrase "excluding Europe" in "The Episcopal Church is the Province of the Anglican Communion in the United States and most other territories where it has a presence (excluding Europe). . ."? Thank you.Matisse412 (talk) 16:12, 22 October 2010 (UTC)Matisse412


 * The Episcopal Church's presence in Europe is not "provincial", but rather takes the form of a Convocation, having its own bishop-in-charge. The Convocation co-exists with the Church of England's Diocese in Europe, and with the Reformed Episcopal Church of Spain, an extra-provincial body under the ecclesiastical jurisdiction of the Archbishop of Canterbury.

Patent ownership
Thanks for your message on my talk page and for your contributions. It is usually more appropriate on Wikipedia to refrain from adding references to your own original works. It is advisable to let others add references to your own work, once sufficiently notable. See in particular WP:SELFPUBLISH, WP:ORIGINAL and WP:COI. You may also request further comments from other experienced users from Third opinion. Cheers, --Edcolins (talk) 11:27, 12 December 2010 (UTC)

Problem with your custom signature
You have a custom signature set in your account preferences. A change to Wikipedia's software has made your current custom signature incompatible with the software.

The problem: Your preferences are set to interpret your custom signature as wikitext. However, your current custom signature does not contain any wikitext.

The solutions: You can reset your signature to the default, or you can fix your signature.


 * Solution 1: Reset your signature to the default:
 * Find the signature section in the first tab of Special:Preferences.
 * Uncheck the box (☑︎→☐) that says "Treat the above as wiki markup."
 * Remove anything in the text box.  (It might already be empty.)
 * Click the blue "" button at the bottom of the page. (The red "" button will reset all of your preference settings, not just the signature.)
 * Solution 2: Fix your custom signature:
 * Find the signature section in the first tab of Special:Preferences.
 * Uncheck the box (☑︎→☐) that says "Treat the above as wiki markup."
 * Click the blue "" button at the bottom of the page.

More information about custom signatures is available at Signatures. If you have followed these instructions and still want help, please leave a message at Wikipedia talk:Signatures. Thank you. 18:02, 7 September 2020 (UTC)
