Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. The following links will help you begin editing on Wikipedia:

Please bear these points in mind while editing Wikipedia

Respect copyrights – do not copy and paste text or images directly from other websites.
Maintain a neutral point of view – this is one of Wikipedia's core policies.
Take particular care while adding biographical material about a living person to any Wikipedia page and follow Wikipedia's Biography of Living Persons policy. Particularly, controversial and negative statements should be referenced with multiple reliable sources.
No edit warring or sock puppetry.
If you are testing, please use the Sandbox to do so.
Do not add troublesome content to any article, such as: copyrighted text, libel, advertising or promotional messages, and text that is not related to an article's subject. Deliberately adding such content or otherwise editing articles maliciously is considered vandalism; doing so will result in your account or IP being blocked from editing.
Do not use talk pages as discussion or forum pages as Wikipedia is not a forum.

The Wikipedia tutorial is a good place to start learning about Wikipedia. If you have any questions, see the help pages, add a question to the village pump or ask me on my talk page. By the way, you can sign your name on Talk and discussion pages using four tildes, like this: ~~~~ (the software will replace them with your signature and the date). Again, welcome!

Your edits

I have reverted your edits twice now because they are (1) about something other than the article subject and (2) attempting to association an individual with a larger criminal event. Please read WP:BLP. Per "bold, revert, discuss", please so discuss your edits on the article's talk page. EvergreenFir (talk) Please {{re}} 18:31, 18 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I disagree with your reversions because the subsection deals with the archbishop's own performance as leader and Archbishop of Saint Paul and Minneapolis. It is at least as relevant to the subject, and arguably even more significant, than allegations of personal misconduct in the subsections below it. Moreover, the text and sources in this subsection do not attempt to paint him as guilty of sexual abuse by association, rather they deal with questions about whether under his leadership the archdiocese followed canon law in handling accusations/findings of priestly abuse, and/or showed disregard for victims. The information in this subsection is so relevant to the subject at hand that there are public calls for his resignation in light of them.

I see you have started a talk page section on the article. I will comment there. EvergreenFir (talk) Please {{re}} 19:03, 18 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
