Dear Leonard: In Wikipedia we don't use POV or special religious terminology. When someone dies, she/he dies, it doesn't matter if he/she was a Muslim journalist, an Orthodox bishop or an atheist shoemaker. Wikipedia is for everyone. Please read all relevant Wikipedia policies before reverting. Thanks. -- Damián A. Fernández Beanato ( talk) 16:14, 5 February 2015 (UTC)
Hi, again! You could disambiguate which Ecumenical Patriarchate is that article referring to. Thanks! -- Damián A. Fernández Beanato ( talk) 16:53, 5 February 2015 (UTC)
You really shouldn't remove maintenance templates the way you did. You wrote "Reference to British Orthodox Church leaving Coptic Patriarchate." but there is no such reference. The 'references' in the article are actually notes. You added promotional material with this edit which was also a copyright violation. I'll leave you a longer message about that with links. The lack of reliable sources (see WP:RS is particularly a problem as the article discusses living people and thus falls under our WP:BLP policy. Doug Weller ( talk) 15:47, 7 October 2015 (UTC)
Hello Father Leonard, and welcome to Wikipedia. Your addition to
Celtic Orthodox Church has had to be removed, as it appears to have added copyrighted material without

Hello, Father Leonard. We
welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things
you have written about in the page
Celtic Orthodox Church, 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. We ask that you:
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).
Also please note that editing for the purpose of advertising, publicising, or promoting anyone or anything is not permitted. Thank you. Doug Weller talk 11:22, 21 June 2018 (UTC)
Fr Leonard responds: There is a warning on the Celtic Orthodox Church article, that a 'A major contributor to this article appears to have a close connection with its subject.' I am that contributor. I always try to be neutral. Most of my contributions have been to remove or correct information added by others who have either no knowledge or erroneous notions, or both, regarding the COC. I hope I have avoided any bias or misrepresentation.
Please follow the established capitalisation principles of Wikipedia's Manual of Style (MOS) which are also those of all contemporary English style guides. Nouns are not capitalised unless they are part of proper names. This includes "church". While some churches follow an idiosyncratic inhouse style of capitalising "church" and some other terms this is not the accepted practise on Wikipedia. Yahboo ( talk) 14:18, 21 June 2018 (UTC)
