Sources needed
Thank you for trying to improve the article St John's Church, Goole, but please note that everything added to the encyclopedia must be sourced. Your edit summary of "Added history and contextual information found in church archives" is not adequate sourcing. Please go back to the article and provide proper references to show us where the information came from. I considered reverting to the previous version of the article, but it was already in a fairly poor shape. I've sorted out a couple of things and added a ref to the NHLE listing and some External Links, but the whole bulk of text needs references.

One other little thing: section headings don't use capital letters except for first word and proper nouns. I've fixed these ones you added, so just reminding you for future editing. Thanks. Pam D  14:47, 2 February 2024 (UTC)


 * @PamD Thanks for your feedback, I suspected it wouldn't be worth me giving a citation of the Goole Times newspaper archives which I found the information at?
 * I am still learning my way around best practice, thanks for your grace. Wikijohnword (talk) 15:35, 2 February 2024 (UTC)
 * "Goole Times, date, article title, page no, article-author-if-shown" would be a perfectly adequate reference: things don't need to be online. You can use cite news which helps in the formatting, even if not online. Or if it mostly came from a 1930s pamphlet about the church history, which you blew the dust off in the crypt, that's fine too (use cite book if it helps): just show us where the information comes from.
 * I've spent far too much time falling down the rabbithole of tracking down Mr Moffat(t) the architect: had plans to do some hoovering while other half was out for a few hours... he's just come home while I was still sitting at the laptop. Ah well, it's more useful than doing jigsaws! Pam  D  15:58, 2 February 2024 (UTC)
 * Hi Pam, thanks for this suggestion. I have added what I can from the source, but have many more sources available on paper that I will aim to add in due course. Wikijohnword (talk) 17:54, 16 February 2024 (UTC)
