Changes to Athanasian Creed
Hi Diversx, I appreciate your good faith edits to the latin translation to Athanasian Creed, but there are a number of problems with your edits. The translation on the page is by the renowned Philip Schaff and is available from http://www.ccel.org/ccel/schaff/creeds2.iv.i.iv.html. I would suggest that you read his Wikipedia page to see who you are 'arguing' with. In essence, you are doing your own research. May I suggest that you read WP:OR to see where you are going wrong. If you wish to make changes to the translation you will have to find an alternate translation from a reliable source as per WP:RS. Your changes so far have been unsourced, and I am simply following the WP:USI policy. Hope that helps. David.moreno72 (talk) 03:07, 21 May 2016 (UTC)


 * Thanks for your email, but in future can you please answer on your talk page. I looked into the history of the page, and yes there have been subtle unexplained changes of the text over the years. Thanks for noticing that. Since this seems to be a topic of interest to you, might I ask you to fix the text. That is, fix it so that it exactly matches the text in http://www.ccel.org/ccel/schaff/creeds2.iv.i.iv.html and then place a comment that you fixed it so that it matches the reference. Do note though that any deviations from the source will be reverted, that is unless you can find an alternate reliable source that more accurately translates the latin. Of course, if you can find a better alternate source, the text must match exactly so that there is no WP:OR. Many thanks. David.moreno72 (talk) 07:51, 21 May 2016 (UTC)

To help you out, here is an example of what it should look like. (Just copy and paste from the rest from http://www.ccel.org/ccel/schaff/creeds2.iv.i.iv.html

I'm sure you would agree that these changes would be much better. Cheers. David.moreno72 (talk) 08:04, 21 May 2016 (UTC)
