Please do not remove content or templates from pages on Wikipedia, as you did to 12Stone, 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 your sandbox for that. Thank you.

Copyright
Please note that copying text directly from a source and placing it into an article is a copyright violation. In this edit you added the line "an elder governed, staff led congregation that strives to equip God’s people for ministry." which is a verbatim copy of this source under "Our Accountability". - Aoidh (talk) 13:42, 22 June 2022 (UTC)
 * Actually looking through it, that entire edit is a verbatim copy of this. Please do not copy-paste material from other websites into Wikipedia articles, as this is a copyright violation and cannot be used. All such contributions will be deleted. You may use external websites or publications as a source of information, but not as a source of content, such as sentences or images—you must write using your own words. Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously, and persistent violators of our copyright policy will be blocked from editing. See Copying text from other sources for more information. - Aoidh (talk) 13:45, 22 June 2022 (UTC)

Hello, I'm Dr.Pinsky. I noticed that you removed topically-relevant content from 12Stone. However, Wikipedia is not censored. Please do not remove or censor information that directly relates to the subject of the article. If the content in question involves images, you have the option to configure Wikipedia to hide images that you may find offensive. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you may leave a message on my talk page. Thank you.

Managing a conflict of interest
Hello, Melissahaas. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about on the page 12Stone, you may have a conflict of interest (COI). Editors with a conflict of interest may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic. See the conflict of interest guideline and FAQ for organizations for more information. We ask that you:


 * avoid editing or creating articles about yourself, your family, friends, colleagues, company, organization, clients, or competitors;
 * propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (you can use the request edit template);
 * disclose your conflict of interest when discussing affected articles (see Conflict of interest);
 * avoid linking to your organization's website in other articles (see Spam);
 * do your best to comply with Wikipedia's content policies.

In addition, you are required by the Wikimedia Foundation's terms of use to disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution which forms all or part of work for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation. See Paid-contribution disclosure.

Also, editing for the purpose of advertising, publicising, or promoting anyone or anything is not permitted. Thank you. Aoidh (talk) 17:50, 9 August 2022 (UTC)
