Welcome!
Hello, Mds8041, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Unfortunately, one of your contributions does not conform to Wikipedia's Neutral Point of View policy (NPOV). Wikipedia articles should refer only to facts and interpretations that have been stated in print or on reputable websites or other forms of media.

There's a page about the NPOV policy that has tips on how to effectively write about disparate points of view without compromising the NPOV status of the article as a whole. If you are stuck, and looking for help, please come to the New contributors' help page, where experienced Wikipedians can answer any queries you have! Or, to ask for help on your talk page, and a volunteer should respond shortly. Below are a few other good links for newcomers: I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your name on talk pages using four tildes ( ~ ); this will automatically produce your name and the date. If you have any questions, check out Questions or ask me on my talk page. Again, welcome! —C.Fred (talk) 00:53, 2 February 2018 (UTC)

Hello, I'm C.Fred. I noticed that you made a change to an article, The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so! If you need guidance on referencing, please see the referencing for beginners tutorial, or if you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. ''There is sufficient material in the article to show that the LDS Church is within the broad scope of Christianity. Before you make such major changes to the article, you must discuss them on the talk page and get support for your changes.'' —C.Fred (talk) 00:56, 2 February 2018 (UTC)

Hi Mds8041,

Whether or not the LDS church is considered a Christian Church seems a no brainer since the name of the church is "The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints". I realize that many denominations, including the LDS church, make the claims they are "the one true church". Protestants (baptists and pentacostals) claim they are the one true church, and the catholic church makes the same claims, as do Jehovah Witnesses, etc. Please be open minded to the fact that Wikipedia content is based on reliable sources, which includes the public teachings of each of these christian religions, all of which are based on the teachings of Jesus Christ. Wikipedia doesn't take sides as to which churches claim the other are not "true churches". Stating that any of these Christian based groups are "not really christian" doesn't line up with reliable sources, and would be OR (which means its just someone's opinion). Original research is not allowed on Wikipedia. Hope that helps, try to remain open minded. :-) Octoberwoodland (talk) 04:30, 6 February 2018 (UTC)
