Happy editing! Ramos1990 ( talk) 20:49, 16 September 2023 (UTC)
- Hi Ramos1990 I was just talking to you a minute ago on the Religion in the United States talk page, I’m doing what I have to do to get editing permissions.
Alfred Carbo (

- Sure. You pretty much can make 10 or more edits and wait 4 days and you should be able to edit the US religion page as much as you want. Other pages do not have much vandalism so you should be able to make your 10 edits in other pages with minor stuff like spelling fixes or punctuation or major stuff like adding a source. Every page tells you what the protection parameter is when you "View source" or try to edit a page.
Ramos1990 (

- I see this account is 2 years old. You should be able to edit that page now I imagine since you have 11 edits now.

- Well it was a surprising amount of work but I got the map up, thanks for all the help.
Alfred Carbo (

- Looks good. But is the new map reflective of ARDA 2020? Or is it still 2010? The whole ARDA section says 2010. I know there is 2020 data by states
[1]. If this is updated data, please update the years in the section.

Hi Alfred Carbo! I noticed that you recently marked an edit as minor that may not have been. "
Minor edit" has a very specific definition on Wikipedia—it refers only to superficial edits that could never be the subject of a dispute, such as
typo corrections or reverting obvious
vandalism. Any edit that changes the meaning of an article is not a minor edit, even if it only concerns a single word. Thank you.

- Okay so if I make the edits again but not label it a "minor edit" they'll be kept up?
Alfred Carbo (
talk) 00:34, 4 February 2024 (UTC)
- No, the reason why the recent edits have been reverted is due to two reasons. The first reason is that most of these infoboxes already have several images - adding too many would cause visual overcrowing. The second reason is that it a case of
undue weight - American cities have several different denominations with several different architectural works, to add only Roman Catholic cathedrals would give undue weight to one denomination over the others.
Panian513 00:44, 4 February 2024 (UTC)
- I only added Churches of special architectural/historical significance, and in Washington DC the page already included the National Cathedral which last I checked is Episcopalian so if anything I was adding balance.
- The wiki page for New Orleans has St. Louis Cathedral not because Wikipedia is giving favoritism to Roman Catholics but because it's a very significant landmark church even from a purely secular perspective (same goes for St. Paul Minnesota), the same would certainly apply to AT LEAST St Patrick's in New York City.

Speedy deletion nomination of National Untied Methodist Church
If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.
A tag has been placed on National Untied Methodist Church requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appears to be an unambiguous copyright infringement. This page appears to be a direct copy from https://nationalchurch.org/history. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images taken from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites or other printed material as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.
If the external website or image belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text or image — which means allowing other people to use it for any reason — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials. The same holds if you are not the owner but have their permission. If you are not the owner and do not have permission, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission for how you may obtain it. You might want to look at Wikipedia's copyright policy for more details, or ask a question here.
If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

- What are you talking about? I took the church’s history from the church’s website? That’s not copy right infringement? IT’S A CHURCH? Alfred Carbo ( talk) 23:58, 20 March 2024 (UTC)
When adding links to material on external sites, please ensure that the external site is not violating the creator's copyright. Linking to websites that display copyrighted works is acceptable as long as the website's operator has created or licensed the work. Knowingly directing others to a site that violates copyright may be considered contributory infringement. This is particularly relevant when linking to sites such as YouTube or Sci-Hub, where due care should be taken to avoid linking to material that violates its creator's copyright. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously, and persistent violators will be blocked from editing. Uploading copyrighted photos is prohibited. Adding them to articles is also prohibited. ~ Pbritti ( talk) 21:31, 22 March 2024 (UTC)
