Dead Sea Scrolls and multiple Passovers

A major discovery regarding the Gospel of John which harmonises a one year ministry of Jesus Christ to the synoptics has been deleted. The book Dead Sea Scrolls Uncovered by Eisenman and Wise page 192 reveals the Jewish Essene calendar having 2 Passovers on consecutive months both on the 14th one a major and the other a minor but recorded as Passovers on the calendar, this is what John recorded and has mistakingly been assumed by denominational Christianity to show a 3 and a half year ministry which was wrong. In light of this new evidence from the DSS we can now verify that John recorded correctly and Jesus ministry was indeed just over a year, this must be included in the article thankyou — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2001:8003:2E00:3600:511A:4E9C:A339:C156 (talk) 12:19, 2 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

In Wikipedia articles, most information should be accompanied by references to reliable, secondary sources. There is 'markup' to do this, which can be seen in lots of examples within most articles, including this one. Wikipedia editors (contributors such as you and I) need to be familiar with the basics writing of contributions in this manner. Additionally it is also important to stick to the facts, and to be conscious of, and avoid, any tendency to add our own opinion (a poor practice, known on WP as original research). You might also wish to create a proper account for your ongoing work in Wikipedia. It can also help if one's first few edits are simple things like obvious typos (which is an objective act) rather than launching in deep with something to which one has a deep, subjective attachment. I hope all that helps. Feline Hymnic (talk) 12:38, 2 December 2019 (UTC) This is not WP or my own opinion as stated here, the Dead Sea Scrolls calendar shows 2 Passovers one on the 14th Nisan Aviv and the second the following month also on the 14th page 192 book Dead Sea Scrolls Uncovered by Eisenman and Wise[reply]
