Hello, I'm Riverbend21. I wanted to let you know that one or more of your recent contributions&#32;to Race and appearance of Jesus have been undone because they did not appear constructive. If you would like to experiment, please use your sandbox. If you have any questions, you can ask for assistance at the Teahouse or the Help desk. Thanks.

Please do not add commentary, your own point of view, or your own personal analysis to Wikipedia articles, as you did to Goyim Defense League. Doing so violates Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy and breaches the formal tone expected in an encyclopedia. Thank you. Riverbend21 (talk) 18:06, 13 March 2023 (UTC)


 * @Pringle2323 And your edit contradicted the source. 86.13.225.120 (talk) 21:04, 13 March 2023 (UTC)

Hi Pringle2323! I noticed that you recently marked an edit as minor that may not have been. "Minor edit" has a very specific definition on Wikipedia—it refers only to superficial edits that could never be the subject of a dispute, such as typo corrections or reverting obvious vandalism. Any edit that changes the meaning of an article is not a minor edit, even if it only concerns a single word. Please see Help:Minor edit for more information. Thank you.

Not only do I doubt the sources used “presenting”, IMHO your changes could be viewed as racist
I can’t read your mind so don’t know what you thought you were doing, but besides the sources used “presenting as white” means probably not white, just trying to pass. Doug Weller talk 20:12, 13 March 2023 (UTC)


 * Some Jews have lighter skin, but we’re Levantine, therefore not white. It’s racist to call us white, as it erases our history and origins. We have been persecuted for 2,000 years in part because we weren’t white. Now suddenly we are? People were using the term white passing but that was found to be problematic for the exact reason you find white presenting to be problematic. I hope that clears it up for you Pringle2323 (talk) 20:39, 13 March 2023 (UTC)
 * A funny thing about Wikipedia that you still have to learn is that our personal opinions don't count for anything. Our job is to identify good published sources and fairly report what they say. That's all. If you want to present what you believe is true, rather than what appears in the source, you are in the wrong place. If you believe some article is biased you can (1) check that the text really matches the source, (2) look for other sources, which may involve convincing other editors that your sources are of sufficient quality. You can't just change text because you don't like it. Zerotalk 10:28, 14 March 2023 (UTC)
