Welcome!
[edit]Hello, Mrsadjei, and welcome to Wikipedia! My name is Ian and I work with Wiki Education; I help support students who are editing as part of a class assignment.
I hope you enjoy editing here. If you haven't already done so, please check out the student training library, which introduces you to editing and Wikipedia's core principles. You may also want to check out the Teahouse, a community of Wikipedia editors dedicated to helping new users. Below are some resources to help you get started editing.

[edit]
Hello, I'm Mako001. I noticed that you made a change to an article, Joshua Selman, but you didn't provide a source. I’ve removed it for now, but if you’d like to include a citation to a reliable source and re-add it, please do so! If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks. Mako001 (C) (T) 🇺🇦 06:33, 15 November 2022 (UTC)

Article issues
[edit]The text you added to the Joshua Selman article include passages that were copied directly from your sources. This was detected by automatic plagiarism detection software. For copyright reasons, this contribution had to be deleted. Remember that additions to Wikipedia need to be written entirely in your own words. Please review the Plagiarism and Copyright training module before making additional edits to that article.
Another issue was the tone of the writing - Wikipedia articles are supposed use a formal writing style and be written in a neutral, encyclopaedic tone. Writing something like his hunger for God grew
is flowery, non-literal language that should be avoided. Also you can't say one night he had a vision
because this is a claim that Selman made, not a verifiable fact. Similarly you can't say something like Selman share[d]...the love of Jesus Christ
; rather, he preached or proselytized to his fellow students. You can't claim Selman healed anyone (medical claims need to be based on systemic reviews in peer-reviewed literature) or performed "miracles". Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence.
Finally, you need to be precise. When did this happen? "One night" is much too vague. Ian (Wiki Ed) (talk) 19:03, 15 November 2022 (UTC)
Recent edit reversion
[edit]In this edit here, I reverted some information that appears to be a violation of our copyright policy.
I provided a brief summary of the problem in the edit summary, which should be visible just below my name. You can also click on the "view history" tab in the article to see the recent history of the article. This should be an edit with my name, and a parenthetical comment explaining why your edit was reverted. If that information is not sufficient to explain the situation, please ask.
I do occasionally make mistakes. We get hundreds of reports of potential copyright violations every week, and sometimes there are false positives, for a variety of reasons. (Perhaps the material was moved from another Wikipedia article, or the material was properly licensed but the license information was not obvious, or the material is in the public domain but I didn't realize it was public domain, and there can be other situations generating a report to our Copy Patrol tool that turn out not to be actual copyright violations.) If you think my edit was mistaken, please politely let me know and I will investigate. S Philbrick(Talk) 23:47, 15 November 2022 (UTC)
