Hello! Refprotevang, you are invited to the Teahouse, a forum on Wikipedia for new editors to ask questions about editing Wikipedia, and get support from peers and experienced editors. Please join us! heather walls (talk) 08:00, 27 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I've noticed several edits like this one, in which you change a specific term to the more general 'protestant.' I'm a little unclear on the reason for these edits, but in general, at Wikipedia, if a more specific term is going to be more informative for the reader, then that's the term that is best to use. You might find it useful to review the neutral point of view policy, and ask yourself whether your recent edits are motivated by a personal, religious, or political point of view. -FisherQueen (talk · contribs) 12:26, 27 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Regarding this edit, Wikipedia generally uses the modern, not the archaic, spelling, in order to be easier for readers to understand. -FisherQueen (talk · contribs) 12:35, 27 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Regarding this edit, it seems to be similar to a number of edits of yours which I have spend the last ten minutes or so correcting. You appear to be systematically changing words on Wikipedia from the terms they are called by members of an organization, to the terms you think those members ought to use. This is a violation of Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy. I urge you to carefully read that policy, and consider how it applies to your recent edits. You may not rewrite Wikipedia to better reflect your own religious or political views. Please read the policy and carefully consider it before making any more edits. Thank you. -12:39, 27 May 2012 (UTC)
