Diocese of Helena Sex Abuse Claims (Reliable Source)

[edit]

Earlier today, I included an item about payments made by the Diocese of Helena to settle allegations of sex abuse by its clergy. I am confused by the manner in which the edit was reverted. It was described as a "good faith edit," but there was an allegation that my source ("bishop accountability") was not reliable. Then, I received a warning on my talk page, stating that if I made further "unsourced" edits, I might be banned. So, we need a reliable source claims of sex abuse in the Diocese of Helena? Does NBC News, reporting the Diocese's bankruptcy filing on account of sex abuse claims, count as a reliable source?

Factual newsworthy information about the subject of an article is, in my view, consistent with the goals of Wikipedia. Deleting "good faith edits" merely because the church hierarchy, or one of their sycophants, finds it objectionable, is not.John Paul Parks (talk) 05:28, 2 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]
