Tips 
 * Don't be afraid to edit! Just find something that can be improved and make it better. Other editors will help fix any mistakes you make.
 * It's normal to feel a little overwhelmed, but don't worry if you don't understand everything at first—it's fine to edit using common sense.
 * If an edit you make is reverted, you can discuss the issue at the article's talk page. Sign your messages with four tildes ( ~ ), be civil, and don't restore the edit unless there is consensus.
 * When adding new content to an article, always include a citation to a reliable source.
 * If you wish to edit about a subject with which you are affiliated, read our conflict of interest guide and disclose your connection.
 * Have fun! Your presence in the Wikipedia community is welcome.

Happy editing! Cheers, Doug Weller  talk 08:59, 5 March 2022 (UTC)

Colonial history of the United States
You messed up the article by breaking links to other articles. You changed the first sentence of the lead so that it no longer matches the title, something you simply cannot do. If you want a new title than you have to use the talk page to request a move. And you seem to have violated WP:NPOV and WP:VERIFY by making changes that not only reflect a view that is not neutral but was not what the sources say. Please use the talk page in the future first before radically changing an article. Thanks. Doug Weller talk 09:02, 5 March 2022 (UTC)


 * And this bit of your edit summary, "I've begun minor changes to the worship language" is both inaccurate - your changes were very major and "worship" is nonsense. Doug Weller  talk 09:04, 5 March 2022 (UTC)


 * "Nonsense" was a bit strong perhaps, but it was OTT. Anyway, replying here for openness. If you want to discuss this, please use Talk:Colonial history of the United States so that others can join in the discussion. Thanks. You didn't post to my talk page, you can click on "Contributions" to the left of this page to see your edits. Doug Weller  talk 11:24, 6 March 2022 (UTC)
