Welcome to Wikipedia. Everyone is welcome to contribute to the encyclopedia, but when you add or change content, as you did to the article William Schnoebelen, please cite a reliable source for your addition. This helps maintain our policy of verifiability. See Citing sources for how to cite sources, and the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you. Note also that your edit removed all the section headers and existing, sourced material, which makes the article confusing. dalahäst (talk) 01:18, 12 July 2011 (UTC)

Also, it was a copyright violation, and written in a highly promotional tone. DMacks (talk) 01:20, 12 July 2011 (UTC)

I like this section of your changes "His wife, Sharon Schnoebelen, with whom he co-authored Blood on the Doorpost passed away in 2010. Once primarily published by Chick Publications, he has become a highly respected and widely distributed author in over 14 countries. Rev. Schnoebelen is Founder and Director of the Christian based ministry  With One Accord Ministries." But we need some citations to use it. Meet me on the discussion page and I think we can make a workable compromise we can all be happy with. Welcome to Wikipedia. I am very sorry to hear about the passing of Sharon --Paul the less (talk) 20:56, 13 July 2011 (UTC)

Your recent edits to William Schnoebelen could give Wikipedia contributors the impression that you may consider legal or other "off-wiki" action against them, or against Wikipedia itself. Please note that making such threats on Wikipedia is strictly prohibited under Wikipedia's policies on legal threats and civility. Users who make such threats may be blocked. If you have a dispute with the content of any page on Wikipedia, please follow the proper channels for dispute resolution. Please be sure to comment on content not contributors, and where possible make specific suggestions for changes supported by reliable independent sources and focusing especially on verifiable errors of fact. Thank you. Furthermore, some of the "critical" evidence you removed was cited from one of his books. Wikipedia does not exist to glorify William Schnoebelen or advertise his books. Wikipedia only repeats what is documented in what most people accept as reliable sources, and those sources document that Schnoebelen has made mistaken claims about Dungeons and Dragons, has claimed to be a Catholic priest based on initiation into the Ecclesia Gnostica, and has not shown any reliable evidence of his claims about his contradictory past. While I'm here do not alter sourced quotesas you did here. "Introduction to New and Alternative Religions in America" does not state what you altered the text to say, it was dishonest to try and portray it as saying that he was recognized as a legal expert (a claim you provided no evidence for; and repeating Bill's claims does not provide any evidence for those same claims).

Also, this bit of censorship, where you leave the edit summary "Simple page editing" and mark it as a minor edit is a complete lie and unacceptable. Wikipedia is not censored. Lying about your edit summaries is not acceptable. Marked non-minor edits as minor is not accepted.

Finally, "gloriously saved," "gripping account," "astonishing answers," "under the light of Yahweh God's Holy Word with amazing results which will prepare you for some of the coming end-times deceptions," etc, are all POV pushing. I strongly recommend you read the neutral point of view policies and this essay on how they interact with the Gospel.

I've added a welcome template to the top of the page, so you can read more about important guidelines for editting here. Ian.thomson (talk) 20:20, 18 July 2011 (UTC)
