Nonresistance[edit]

Hey MennoniteMTBer, welcome to Wikipedia! I noticed your interest in nonresistance, and wanted to encourage you to work on improving that article. It could use a lot of work. This might be a good place to start: Stutzman, Ervin (2011). From nonresistance to justice : the transformation of Mennonite Church peace rhetoric, 1908-2008. Scottdale, Pa. Waterloo, Ont: Herald Press. ISBN 978-0-8361-9508-8. OCLC 689003202.. Happy editing! Daask (talk) 19:44, 23 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@Daask: Thank you for the message. I am an Old Order Mennonite (Groffdale Conference) and I am interested in helping edit Wikipedia on articles about Anabaptism and beyond, but I am a bit unsure how to convert personal knowledge into acceptably sourced Wikipedia material.

@MennoniteMTBer: Your perspective and knowledge can be very helpful here. You're right, we do require verifiable sources for information, but you're experience can be especially helpful in shaping articles to be balanced and comprehensive. Many editors, myself included, add bits as we find them in referenced sources, but it takes real knowledge to know what's missing. Daask (talk) 00:08, 24 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
