Reg48744, thank you for your email regarding your recent changes to this article (seen here). As you may have noticed, another editor has removed your edit since you wrote it.

Wikipedia, as an encyclopedia, is not the best place to post essays or your personal opinions. Like all encyclopedias, we rely on verifiable facts and the opinions of well-known scholars. Learning to add this sort of information, rather than essays or opinions, to the encyclopedia can be a difficult transition -- but it is very rewarding.

I hope that you are not discouraged by your first attempt to edit our encyclopedia, and that you will come back and continue to improve the largest encyclopedia in the world! Some places you may want to start are at WikiProject Christianity (a group that seeks to improve all Christianity-related articles) and at the links in the above welcome message. Some people find it easier to start with small, maintanence-like tasks first (things like copy-editing, spell-checking, and category-sorting) while they get the hang of how wikipedia works.

If there is anything further I can do for you, you can leave a message at my talk page, or you can place on this page and someone will be along shortly.

God Bless, Pastordavid 14:44, 18 July 2007 (UTC)
