Your edit to Good Friday
[edit]At first I simply wanted to say that, as an aspiring editor, you should try to be sensitive to even the smallest details, especially when missing them is *insensitive*.
In your change you had "Fasting also helps make room for god in their lives." and "The Roman Catholics have restrictive rules when it comes to fasting on good Friday." Do you see the problem?
'god' and "good Friday" are more than irritating. Another editor has already fixed those to 'God' and "Good Friday".
But now I see that in your improvements you deleted nicely cited text in favor of your own take, that is, uncited and unexplained text. Compare before and after.
And I'm not sure any of the elaboration in "History" is needed. "Since the date of good Friday is dependent on when Easter occurs, ..." means that the article on Good Friday doesn't need to rehash all that discussion already covered within Easter.
Unfortunately there have now been 7 edits to your text trying to fix various bits. I'm going to suggest on the talk page that people review my revert of your change. Shenme (talk) 03:49, 18 April 2019 (UTC)
