Welcome to Wikipedia. Everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia. However, please do not add promotional material to articles or other Wikipedia pages, as you did to G. K. Chesterton. Advertising and using Wikipedia as a " soapbox" are against Wikipedia policy and not permitted. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about Wikipedia. Thank you.

Hello, CrossReach. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about on Wikipedia, you may have a conflict of interest (COI). Editors with a COI may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic. See the conflict of interest guideline and FAQ for organizations for more information. In particular, please:
In addition, you must disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation (see WP:PAID).
Please familiarize yourself with relevant policies and guidelines, especially those pertaining to neutral point of view, sourcing and autobiographies. Thank you.-- McGeddon ( talk) 16:08, 2 March 2016 (UTC)
I'm not interested in giving you a hard time, CrossReach, so I thought I'd copy here what I wrote in reply on my own talk page a few days ago. (Generally, folks answer stuff on their own talk pages, but I thought you might not know this.)
Let me suggest that you keep all such information out of the lead, source with citations information you want to add to the article (Who called Ironside the pope of fundamentalism?), and put any list of Ironside's famous contemporaries in the notes. All the best, John Foxe ( talk) 18:11, 6 March 2017 (UTC)
You're probably right. I also hadn't seen your reply. Is this the right place to make a response? I'm a bit of novice with the whole Wikipedia thing and I just add stuff as I go along with my own unrelated research into various authors. My intention for doing so is just to try and share the information that I have found and that may be of some use to others. I had seen another article on another famous religious leader that had mentioned who he was contemporaneous with, so I thought it was the thing to do. Sorry about that. All the best.

Interestingly I just came across F. B. Meyer's page. In the article's lead he is described, without proper citation, as the Archibishop of the Free Churches. /info/en/?search=F._B._Meyer CrossReach ( talk) 20:47, 6 March 2017 (UTC)
Very well written, and someone I did not know about. He was connected earlier on with not only A. B. Simpson, but E. W. Kenyon and R. A. Torrey. But they all broke cords with him after they detected he was steering well off the Evangelical course. I found this information in Joe McIntyre's book on Kenyon which I have been planning on buying for some time. https://books.google.ie/books?id=1G-6MrfFM6YC&lpg=PA98&ots=eRar_Ye7ps&dq=Frank%20Sandford%20writings&pg=PA98#v=onepage&q=Frank%20Sandford%20writings&f=false CrossReach ( talk) 11:14, 7 March 2017 (UTC)
I've deleted the article you created on Daniel Steele because it appeared to be largely a copyright violation of this blog. Do not copy and paste content from elsewhere into Wikipedia. Doing so repeatedly will lead to you being blocked from editing.
Additionally, your username does not appear to comply with our policy on names because it represents an organisation. Usernames must represent an individual person. Please choose a new username that complies with our policy and request renaming by filling out the form at Special:GlobalRenameRequest. Failure to do so will likely also lead to you being blocked from editing. GoldenRing ( talk) 13:47, 14 November 2017 (UTC)
Hi, I deleted a category that you had tagged as WP:G7, and then moved some of your other new categories to lowercase. I don't normally do this out-of-process, but it seemed appropriate to me to WP:Ignore all rules in these simple cases. I hope you have no objection. – Fayenatic London 20:51, 19 August 2018 (UTC)
