Welcome Caedda! I'm a little worried that your articles taken verbatim from other sources -- I couldn't find a parallel for the St. Chad article, but the text in [[Cedd]] seems to match http://www.britannia.com/bios/saints/cedd.html almost exactly. It's very important that we cite sources and only use what is legal for us to use (and release under our default [[OrthodoxWiki:Copyrights|copyright]] arrangement. If the articles are not properly attributed and rewritten, I'm afraid I'll have to delete them, as much as I'd love to have articles here on these two saints.

Good afternoon sir.  I am afraid I only added the brackets around [[Chad]] to the Cedd article.  I didnt write the article about S. Cedd.  Perhaps you have confused me with another?  A friend of mine wrote the S. Chad article and I posted it with his permission, I later added to it (fixed spelling according to its Welsh derivative, etc).  It would be a shame if you deleted it.

Welcome to OrthodoxWiki!

Hello, Caedda, and welcome to OrthodoxWiki!

Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Please note that OrthodoxWiki is always in development, so not everything works quite right yet. You can help, though!

OrthodoxWiki is a community-edited encyclopedia of Orthodox Christianity. Articles are created and edited by our members, and so everything that we do here is subject to review and revision. The result is a true consensus product, with every interested editor contributing his own knowledge and writing skills. As such, when you feel that criticism of an article is warranted, we encourage you to join in and fix it! Don't worry about breaking anything or doing something wrong—the other editors here are happy to jump in and help you learn.

PLEASE read carefully the section of the Style Manual titled OrthodoxWiki:Style Manual (Point of View).

Also please note that other editors will assume that you have read the Style Manual (our official editing guidelines). If you're wondering why an edit was reverted, an article renamed, or any other unexpected changes were made by another editor, check there.

Please also take a few moments to edit your user page by clicking on your name here, so that we can know a bit about you: User:Caedda. Feel free also to add your picture to the OrthodoxWiki:User gallery.

If you are uploading images, be sure you're doing so legally and according to OrthodoxWiki policy. Failure to abide by policy may result in your images getting deleted without warning.

If you would like to experiment with the wiki, please feel free to do so in the Sandbox.

By the way, you can sign your name on Talk and other discussion pages using three tildes, like this: ~~~. Four tildes (~~~~) produces your name and the current date. Please sign your comments on Talk pages, so everyone will easily be able to see who left them.

You'll have to verify your email address before editing any pages. This helps us prevent spam. Don't worry, your email won't be viewable to anyone but the sysops. We respect your privacy.

If you have any questions, see the help pages, add a question to the Questions page, or ask me on my Talk page.

We hope you enjoy editing here and being a part of our community!

Copyright concerns

Welcome Caedda! I'm a little worried that your articles taken verbatim from other sources -- I couldn't find a parallel for the St. Chad article, but the text in Cedd seems to match http://www.britannia.com/bios/saints/cedd.html almost exactly.

Your deleted image(s)

Hello! One or more images which you uploaded has been deleted in according with OrthodoxWiki policy, most likely because you did not provide an appropriate tag for it.

If you feel that this deletion was in error, you may upload the image again, giving it the appropriate tag indicating that the image is legal for OrthodoxWiki to use.

To check which images may have been deleted, take a look at your upload log and look for red links.

Thank you for your contributions! - Andrew 10:36, July 17, 2007 (PDT)
