 * Hello Melcous,
 * Yes I am really new to Wikipedia editing. I created an account as I am the Pastoral Associate at St Anthony of Padua in St Louis, Missouri and the Pastor asked if I could create a Wikipedia page for our parish as there are several other churches in the St Louis area that have Wikipedia pages. I did try to leave a comment on the Adrain Wewer talk page as I did not understand a certain fact about demolition of our church referenced on that page. This was part of trying to comply with the Wikipedia request to edit existing articles prior to creating my own article. I also looked at some other articles on catholic churches, religious belief systems, and environmental issues that I may be able to contribute to as I feel I have some knowledge in these areas. However after looking at various Wikipedia pages, I don't know that I have sufficient knowledge to make substantial comments to the existing Wikipedia articles. Through further exploration of Wikipedia I discovered the sandbox feature, which I thought I could attempt to create a draft article and then work within my personal sandbox to better refine the article, practice on how to format such an article, and get more references before asking for a review of my article. as far as promotional or advertising, I thought the section on "Our Parish Life Today" could have been considered as promoting our parish, I thought the rest of the article was basically factual. The links I have in the sandbox article were attempts to show the notability of the St Anthony of Padua church. I then thought the process would be to submit such article behind the 4,000 plus other articles waiting to be placed on the main pages of Wikipedia. Apparently I have much to learn!! I will look at the information you have referenced in order to better understand the Wikipedia concept and then try to go from there if that is acceptable.
