Welcome!
Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. The following links will help you begin editing on Wikipedia:
 * The five pillars of Wikipedia
 * Contributing to Wikipedia
 * How to edit a page
 * Editing tutorial
 * Picture tutorial
 * How to write a great article
 * Naming conventions
 * Simplified Manual of Style

Please bear these points in mind while editing Wikipedia:
 * Respect copyrights – do not copy and paste text or images directly from other websites.
 * Maintain a neutral point of view – this is one of Wikipedia's core policies.
 * Take particular care while adding biographical material about a living person to any Wikipedia page and follow Wikipedia's Biography of Living Persons policy. Particularly, controversial and negative statements should be referenced with multiple reliable sources.
 * No edit warring or abuse of multiple accounts.
 * If you are testing, please use the Sandbox to [ do so].
 * Do not add troublesome content to any article, such as: copyrighted text, libel, advertising or promotional messages, and text that is not related to an article's subject; doing so will result in your account or IP being blocked from editing.
 * Do not use talk pages as discussion or forum pages as Wikipedia is not a forum.

The Wikipedia tutorial is a good place to start learning about Wikipedia. If you have any questions, see the help pages, add a question to the village pump or ask me on my talk page. By the way, you can sign your name on Talk and discussion pages using four tildes, like this: &#126;&#126;&#126;&#126; (the software will replace them with your signature and the date). Again, welcome! ~ ToBeFree (talk) 13:47, 27 August 2018 (UTC)

Please do not remove content or templates from pages on Wikipedia, as you did to Ralph Drollinger, without giving a valid reason for the removal in the edit summary. Your content removal does not appear to be constructive and has been reverted. If you only meant to make a test edit, please use the sandbox for that. Thank you.

RolandR Apologies. I am looking to help different groups correct information that is libelous - information that is not factual and could be damaging. How can these changes be made in the correct way? I would request the changes remain in place. Sticking to the facts only about Ralph Drollinger and his ministry.

 * Libel is a very serious offence, and libellous material is not permitted on Wikipedia. But I struggle to see anything libellous in the material that you removed, which was factual and properly sourced. If you are questioning the accuracy of the sources cited, you need to raise this on the talk page first, because in the absence of convincing counter evidence we act on the assumption that information published by the Dallas News, LA Times, BBC and Newsweek - all of which you removed without any explanation - is true and reliable.

 * RolandR I am very happy to have an experienced Wikipedia editor to talk through this with as I learn. The problem does lie in the original articles apparently including lies. I do not understand how Wikipedia weighs the truthfulness factor - that the articles published are true versus the website of the actual person and ministry. The ministry tries to make things right on their own website, but Wikipedia of course is highly ranked in search and will always be. Trying to wrap my mind around it.

 * All of the publications I mentioned above are recognised by Wikipedia as reliable sources. We cannot reject them on the basis of your personal assertion that they are lies. Nor would we accept such a claim made on a clearly involved website. I suggest that you read our policy on reliable sources, linked above, so that you can better understand what evidence is required in order to include (or delete) a claim in an article.

 * Thanks, I will do so before making any further changes. How does the ministry prove their side...site references from other sources that are deemed reliable? If reliable sources show different stories, do they simply both share representation. I.e. The Political Philosophy section is claiming to represent the ministries' philosophy. It doesn't seem right that a news publication can represent that on behalf of the ministry. If they share references from another article that shows their true philosophy, that can be represented under "Political Philosphy?" FA1TH1STHEV1CTORY (talk) 17:18, 12 September 2018 (UTC)

Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to violate Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy by adding commentary and your personal analysis into articles, as you did at Ralph Drollinger, you may be blocked from editing. -- Orange Mike &#124;  Talk  17:58, 3 February 2022 (UTC)
