Edit war on "Baptism"
Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. Are you the same user as the IP who made too many changes to Catholic vs Roman Catholic. Alas the base reason was incorrect. As a Roman Catholic I do not agree with your reason, for I relish the term Roman and the literature does not support your statement. Please see the talk page on Catholic Church and Roman Catholic (term) and then slow down on incorrect replacements, else I will have to revert many of them. Thank you, and welcome to Wikipedia.

 * Hi, please leave messages on user "talk pages" not on user pages. And within Wikipedia if a user has 12 PhDs vs a high school diploma, their personal opinions on any topic carry the same weight: zero. Wikipedia is about references not opinions. Please read the articles and references as you edit. It does take time to get used to the "rules of Wikipedia" and the only way is to study them. Thank you.

 * You give your background as a seminarian in a recent edit summary, but please be advised that Wikipedia runs on consensus. Please do not cite yourself - any changes should be supported by verifiable sources and not original research, and more importantly, you should build consensus on the article's talk page.  Cheers!  --SquidSK (1MC•log) 19:25, 2 December 2009 (UTC)


 * Yes, SquidSK is correct. And I think given this new user's background etc. he/she may eventually make a good editor, and it is just a question of pointing out the rules of the road here. E.g. that referring to "uninformed users" is not nice or a valid reason. Cheers History2007 (talk) 19:30, 2 December 2009 (UTC)


 * Squidsk: Where is the "talk" section to which you refer?  If you want a verifiable source, i refer you to the "National Catholic Reporter."  It is not called the "National Roman Catholic Reporter."  In addition, the University of Notre Dame refers to itself as a "Catholic" university, not as a "Roman Catholic" university.  Speaking of verifiable sources, where are yours, other than your decision to "embrace" the term "Roman"?


 * Sarah, "the Mystical Body of Christ and the Roman Catholic Church are one and the same thing", said Pope Pius XII. See Humani Generis, 27. He was not being derogatory.
 * Please don't be discouraged. We all make mistakes. Keep up your interest in Wikipedia.
 * A Talk page is also called a Discussion page. User pages have a Talk page, like this one for you. The articles also have their Talk pages.  You can find an article's Talk page by clicking on the "discussion" tab on the top of the article.
 * To sign and date your comments on a Talk page, type four tildes, thus ~ Lima (talk) 20:45, 2 December 2009 (UTC)


 * The talk page on any article can be accessed by looking at that article and looking for "Discuss this Page" or similar, depending on your "skin". In the case of the Baptism article it's Talk:Baptism. --Walter Görlitz (talk) 21:18, 2 December 2009 (UTC)

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war&#32; according to the reverts you have made on Baptism. Note that the three-revert rule prohibits making more than three reversions on a single page within a 24-hour period. Additionally, users who perform several reversions in content disputes may be blocked for edit warring even if they do not technically violate the three-revert rule. When in dispute with another editor you should first try to discuss controversial changes to work towards wording and content that gains a consensus among editors. Should that prove unsuccessful, you are encouraged to seek dispute resolution, and in some cases it may be appropriate to request page protection. Please stop the disruption, otherwise you may be blocked from editing. - Garrett W. (Talk / Contribs) 03:02, 3 December 2009 (UTC)


 * I think this new user should be given a break. This has been a "hard welcome" and the user just needs some help to get started. Can we all go softer now as Lima did? History2007 (talk) 18:30, 3 December 2009 (UTC)
