A series of recent edits by @

questionable

sources may be used as sources of information about themselves, usually in articles about themselves or their activities, without the self-published source requirement that they be published experts in the field, so long as:

1. the material is neither unduly self-serving nor an exceptional claim;
2. it does not involve claims about third parties;
3. it does not involve claims about events not directly related to the source;
4. there is no reasonable doubt as to its authenticity; and
5. the article is not based primarily on such sources.

Since the deleted material on the history, structure, and past officers of the USCCB are not self-serving, are directly related to the subject, are not likely to be inauthentic and, in many cases, are not likely to be conveniently accesable in other sources, I propose undoing these edits, perhaps flagging the sections with a {{Third-party|section}} template to invite editors to determine additional sources. --SteveMcCluskey (talk) 21:50, 21 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

SteveMcCluskey, I concur with undoing those edits. Elizium23 (talk) 21:58, 21 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

History and structure would be ok (still must be SOURCED, but self-source is ok) as long as the section is not

Given the category of "History" of the organization, unless it's something like the Conference has split officially, a statement by one bishop with another bishop dissenting probably isn't noteworthy for addition here. The alliance (talk) 23:28, 23 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I am open to moving it to another section, and restoring vast swaths of the article that were falsely called promotional. Elizium23 (talk) 23:42, 23 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

This article is about the USCCB, so let's keep focus on USCCB-related statements and developments.

WP:COATRACK can apply. Elizium23 (talk) 19:09, 8 February 2021 (UTC)[reply

Doesn't the region map need to be updated for the creation of the Province of Las Vegas? Maybe I misunderstand. MrArticleOne (talk) 00:36, 15 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
