You may notice that I deleted your contribution to talk:John Newton. The formal policy reason is a "WP: Wikipedia is not a forum violation". In the circumstances, your contribution was not at all unreasonable –  the problem is that the original assertion should not have been allowed to stand and if I had noticed it earlier, I would have deleted it. (I have a lot of pages on my watch list and this one is only on it because the town where he preached is near me). Talk pages are to discuss improvements to the article content, not to provide a soapbox, as the previous contributor did.

Never mind, please don't be discouraged. Welcome again to Wikipedia. --John Maynard Friedman (talk) 09:26, 13 August 2021 (UTC)
