Welcome to OrthodoxWiki!

Hello, Maximustheconfessor, 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.

First official warning

You are being issued an official warning for uncivil behavior by a sysop, as set forth in OrthodoxWiki's official disciplinary policy. This is your first warning.

If you wish to appeal this warning, you may do so by posting on OrthodoxWiki Talk:Administrators and stating the reason why you believe this warning was issued in error. Do not remove this warning yourself. Doing so will be considered uncivil behavior.

The behavior for which you are being warned is:

Dear friend,

Christ is risen!

In examining the totality of your contributions to OrthodoxWiki since you joined in January, the constant theme seems to be an attempt to tilt various articles toward a Roman Catholic point of view. This is inappropriate for this site, since we are explicitly an Orthodox Christian site, which includes, among other things, a certain view of history, doctrine, etc.

If you are not willing to accept this normative standard for the wiki, I strongly suggest that you withdraw from editing here. If you continue to exhibit the aforementioned approach, then your editing access will be removed.

Thank you for your time.
