I noticed your submission in Articles for creation, Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/List of Major League Baseball teams by payroll in 2011. Thanks! It will be reviewed by a volunteer soon.
Before it can be added to Wikipedia, your submission should have references. All articles on Wikipedia should have inline, numbered references after facts, showing the 'reliable source' (a newspaper, book, etc.) where the information can be checked, so that all information is verifiable.
Here's an example of how to add references:
He likes tea.<ref> Smith, John. "[http://foonews.com/Article42 Interview with Chzz]", Foo News, 1 April 2010. Retrieved 2011-05-22. </ref>
== References ==
{{reflist}}
That makes the references automatically display as small numbers1 which will link to the details in the section titled == References == at the end. You can see that example in action here.
Please add references to your submission, which will be reviewed as soon as possible. See also, Wikipedia:Referencing for beginners. If you need any help, just put {{helpme}} at the end of this page, followed by a question or get into our live help chat chanel at #wikipedia-en-help connect.

I've reverted your change to Bede. Bede's allegiance to Rome was significant in his discussion of the events leading up to the Synod of Whitby. Regards, Martin of Sheffield ( talk) 16:35, 18 February 2017 (UTC)
Thanks for the heads up, Martin.
I understand your reasoning, but is allegiance to Rome really the issue? If Bede's allegiance had been to Constantinople at the time, that wouldn't have made him Eastern Orthodox. Nor would the Eastern Orthodox (to name one branch) agree that the Roman Catholic church was in existence at the time of Bede. From their perspective, Bede's allegiance was to the bishop of Rome in the holy Catholic church. I feel that "Christian" is the proper unbiased term that all sides can agree to.
