I do not understand why my edit was rejected a second time after it had been accepted.Tcfrank 20:20, 17 July 2018 (UTC)


 * I'm not sure what you mean by "had been accepted", but the source for your edit is not what Wikipedia would consider reliable. There's no indication of meaningful editorial oversight; it's someone's personal website. Huon (talk) 20:34, 17 July 2018 (UTC)

Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, your addition of one or more external links to the page Christ Gospel Churches International has been reverted. Your edit here to Christ Gospel Churches International was reverted by an automated bot that attempts to remove links which are discouraged per our external links guideline. The external link(s) you added or changed (https://excgcmember.wordpress.com/) is/are on my list of links to remove and probably shouldn't be included in Wikipedia. If you were trying to insert an external link that does comply with our policies and guidelines, then please accept my creator's apologies and feel free to undo the bot's revert. However, if the link does not comply with our policies and guidelines, but your edit included other, constructive, changes to the article, feel free to make those changes again without re-adding the link. Please read Wikipedia's external links guideline for more information, and consult my list of frequently-reverted sites. For more information about me, see my FAQ page. Thanks! --XLinkBot (talk) 11:48, 26 June 2018 (UTC)

Help me!
Thank you for the prompt response! I had initially used a URL that was not accepted. I then removed that URL and it was accepted for many days, up until a few hours ago. Now you are telling me a URL to a persons website that had direct experience with this church is not relevant. How about the book reference that I also used as a reference, is that considered acceptable?Tcfrank 20:57, 17 July 2018 (UTC)

Please help me with...

 * The edit wasn't "accepted"; it likely wasn't seen by human editors for some time (your first one was removed by a bot, an automated program). Regarding "direct experience", no, that is not helpful. Wikipedia content should be based on independent secondary sources that are subject to editorial oversight and have a reputation for fact-checking and accuracy. The book is self-published; it again doesn't meet Wikipedia's standards for reliability. Huon (talk) 21:29, 17 July 2018 (UTC)
