Hello, Ai777! Welcome to Wikipedia! You may benefit from following some of the links below, which will help you get the most out of Wikipedia. If you have any questions you can ask me on my talk page, or place {{helpme}} on your talk page and ask your question there. Please remember to sign your name on talk pages by clicking or by typing four tildes "~~~~"; this will automatically produce your name and the date. If you are already excited about Wikipedia, you might want to consider being "adopted" by a more experienced editor or joining a WikiProject to collaborate with others in creating and improving articles of your interest. Click here for a directory of all the WikiProjects. Finally, please do your best to always fill in the edit summary field when making edits to pages. Happy editing! v/r - Seawolf35T--C18:30, 27 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Ai777, on the one hand, let me also welcome you to Wikipedia. On the other, let me be blunt: please knock off the irrelevant scripture-quoting at Talk:Jesus. You are more than welcome to quote Jesus or anybody else at the Talk page when it pertains directly to improving the Jesus article; otherwise, it is off-topic for that page, which is *strictly* about improving the article. At a minimum, your comments and possibly the entire conversation you initiated could be at risk of being erased or collapsed because article Talk pages are not to be used as a forum for giving your personal views or thoughts about Jesus. Sorry if this seems harsh, but it's better to nip this behavior in the bud, before you make a habit of it, and it comes back to bite you.
Partial translation of that last sentence: did you notice Doug, who commented just before me? Doug is an Administrator at Wikipedia, meaning he has the capacity to suspend your editing privileges if you fail to comply with Wikipedia policies and guidelines, and he noticed your edit, and gave a very gentle indication to steer you back into compliance. Basically, you want to avoid having admins sniffing around on your Talk page as much as possible; it's the wrong kind of attention, and you don't want it. (On the other hand, Doug is a really cool admin, and if you're going to end up dealing with an admin, you're lucky it was him.) Don't worry, as a brand new user you are given extra latitude to make mistakes—that's how we all learn. However, now Doug has basically told you to stop the preaching, and so am I. So, no more irrelevancies at the Talk page please; keep focused on specific ways to improve the article, and avoid everything else. If you have any questions, feel free to ask me below, or you can ask questions about editing Wikipedia at the WP:Tea house or Wikipedia:Help desk. Once again, welcome!
