Welcome to Wikipedia. We welcome and appreciate your contributions, including your edits to Pope John Paul II, but we cannot accept original research. Original research also encompasses combining published sources in a way to imply something that none of them explicitly say. Please be prepared to cite a reliable source for all of your contributions. Thank you. Theroadislong (talk) 21:16, 9 June 2012 (UTC)

Please do not add or significantly change content without citing verifiable and reliable sources. Before making any potentially controversial edits, it is recommended that you discuss them first on the article's talk page. Please review the guidelines at Citing sources and take this opportunity to add references to the article. Mark Arsten (talk) 21:25, 9 June 2012 (UTC)

Please stop attacking other editors, as you did on Pope John Paul II‎‎. If you continue, you may be blocked from editing Wikipedia. Elizium23 (talk) 21:26, 9 June 2012 (UTC)

Your recent editing history at Pope John Paul II shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war. Being involved in an edit war can result in your being blocked from editing&mdash;especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring&mdash;even if you don't violate the three-revert rule&mdash;should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.

To avoid being blocked, instead of reverting please consider using the article's talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. See BRD for how this is done. You can post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.

Hello, Splannbran, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Unfortunately, one or more of your edits have not conformed to Wikipedia's verifiability policy, and may be removed if they have not yet been. Wikipedia articles should refer only to facts and interpretations that have been stated in print or on reputable websites or other forms of media. Always remember to provide a reliable source for quotations and for any material that is likely to be challenged, or it may be removed. Wikipedia also has a related policy against including original research in articles. As well, all new biographies of living people must contain at least one reliable source.

If you are stuck and looking for help, please see the guide for citing sources or come to the new contributors' help page, 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 hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your name on talk pages using four tildes ( ~ ); this will automatically produce your name and the date.

Priests and soldiers
Hi Splannbran, just to clear things up: I'm not a "Soldier of the Grand Priest" (I'm not actually sure what that means, but I'm fairly certain it's not me). You are correct that you did cite a source for part of the edit, but you added several unsourced sentences to another portion of the article (The "Notice that although..." part). Also, it's probably best if you discuss potential additions to the page here before adding them. Thanks, Mark Arsten (talk) 17:39, 11 June 2012 (UTC)
