Hi
Hi, I don't think you were spamming at the Bank St article but there was a problem. We don't link to external websites directly in the text but rather use citations. We also need to cite the right thing, eg: linking to some website (which may or may not be a reliable source) just to "prove" the existence of someone mentioned in the article would not be a valid use - what we would want is a source that supports the statement being made, such as that they were a minister at Bank Street between YYYY and YYYY.

Don't be discouraged. I think the way forward would perhaps be for you to suggest changes on the article talk page - see Talk:Bank Street Unitarian Chapel - and then learn as people react to those suggestions. For what it is worth, and without checking the article history, I am pretty sure that I created the thing in the first place. - Sitush (talk) 15:19, 29 January 2019 (UTC)

Oh, and I noticed you removed Greater Manchester from the opening sentence. I am aware that there is a disgust among some Boltonians that their town forms a part of that modern county but it is what it is and we do not pander to personal feelings in articles. Or, at least, not the personal feelings of contributors. - Sitush (talk) 15:34, 29 January 2019 (UTC)

Hi
Hi, apologies, am totally confused. I'm a complete novice to wikipedia. I don't even know whether I'm writing this in correct section.
 * I assure you I had no intention of spamming, and am certainly not advertising(for commercial gain you mean?). I am a member of the congregation and I volunteered to operate our new website, as we are unable to log on to old one to update it...that's probably why there appears to be two websites.


 * I take your points on citations and on Greater Manchester. Again, apologies if any offence caused through lack of ettiquette etc.Oneitarian (talk) 16:57, 29 January 2019 (UTC)
 * Sitush asked me to take a look, we've worked together on and off for 7 years on various subjects. What you say about the website makes sense. It'll be helpful if you can note that, along with any other responses to Sitush's concerns, at Talk:Bank Street Unitarian Chapel. I'm also willing to help out as best I can.
