American Orthodox Catholic Church
I have begun to wikify and perform some copyedit at your article. Unfortunately, there are numerous problems with your article.

Original Research
The largest problem is that it appears to be Original Research. Official Wikipedia policy prohibits the publishing of original research.

Neutral Point of View
The next problem more or less falls in line with the first problem. The article does not appear to be written in a neutral point of view. Neutral Point Of View is a fundamental Wikipedia principle which states that all articles must be written from a neutral point of view, representing views fairly and without bias.

Sources not cited
The third problem is that the article does not cite any sources.

Why sources should be cited
 * To ensure that the content of articles is credible and can be checked by any reader or editor.
 * To enhance the overall credibility and authoritative character of Wikipedia.
 * To show that your edit isn't original research.
 * To reduce the likelihood of editorial disputes, or to resolve any that arise.
 * To credit a source for providing useful information and to avoid claims of plagiarism.
 * To provide more information or further reading.

Copyright Violation
Finally, there is a possibility that this article violates copyright. It is, after all, nothing more than a copy and paste from

What you can do
There's a great page about the NPOV policy that has tips on how to effectively write about disparate points of view without compromising the NPOV status of the article as a whole. If you are stuck, and looking for help, please come to the Wikipedia Boot Camp, where experienced Wikipedians can answer any queries you have! Or, you can just type on your user page, and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions. Here are a few other good links for newcomers:

I think this article has a lot of potential and I would like to see it cleaned up to become an acceptable article on Wikipedia.

Thanks and Happy Editing! James084 14:30, 22 February 2006 (UTC)
