Please stop adding unsourced
Wattisham Strict Baptist Chapel
Hi Ouddorp - I saw your note in the edit summary of Bethel Strict Baptist Chapel, Wivelsfield. (The best way to reach other editors is via their talk page; mine is at User talk:Hassocks5489.) I will have a look at the Wattisham article and see what I can do. As long as there are enough sources available, there is no reason for it to be deleted – and I know a few places to look, so I am hopeful. Kind regards, Hassocks5489 (tickets please!) 11:29, 4 October 2011 (UTC)
- Hi Hassocks - thanks for your response. I would like to help with the article, but all my contributions are removed. I go back to the Dutch wikipedia:) Good luck with the article! Ouddorp (talk) 11:58, 4 October 2011 (UTC)
- Don't be discouraged; sometimes other editors can be a bit quick to remove content! Always make sure you cite the sources you have used: that makes it much more difficult for material to be challenged or removed. I'll do a bit more work on the article soon. I specialise in churches/chapels of all denominations in the county of Sussex, and I have a large amount of reference material, but I can get access to the other sources I mentioned at the Wattisham talk page (they are in my local library).

Hi
Hi Ouddorp
I noticed your comment to Hassocks on the Wivelsfield chapel edit history. It would be a pity if articles on these interesting buildings get deleted for lack of references. It only took a few minutes using google to find good refrences for Ebenezer Chapel, Melksham and add them. You really should do this instead of leaving it to others.--Charles (talk) 21:46, 20 October 2011 (UTC)

List of Strict Baptist churches
Thanks. Yes, I had seen what was happening on the article, but wasn't sure what to do. It's not as clear cut as
- Thank you for your reply. Bethel Strict Baptist Chapel, Wivelsfield is deleted from the list of "former" Strict Baptist churches. But is a List of Gospel Standard churches realy ]
- Hi Ouddorp – thanks for your note. In relation to the above, I can see from my Watchlist that quite a few changes have happened in terms of renamings, reversions etc. I'll need to take a look over the weekend to see all that has happened; I think we might all need to have a discussion on the article talk page to determine the best way forward for the article. My main worry is that the scope is a bit broad and we may run into problems defining exactly what should be included. Basically I agree with what StAnselm says above in his second and third sentences. Although I am not of a Strict Baptist background (I am in fact Catholic), I have done quite a lot of research into Strict, Particular, General and Reformed Baptist chapels in the context of my research for Sussex places of worship (such chapels are quite common in Sussex, as you probably know!), and into Independent and Calvinistic groups more generally. I think we need to define our scope and perhaps consider a smaller-scale approach — perhaps regional. Kind regards, Hassocks5489 (tickets please!) 13:58, 11 May 2012 (UTC)

Free Presbyterian photos
Hello - I have removed three of your photo links on the page
- Thank you PeterR. Ouddorp (talk) 12:14, 25 September 2012 (UTC)
- Further I have done major editing to St. Jude's Church, Glasgow and the corresponding Dutch article as part of your article had become completely inaccurate due to confusion with a previous building. I believe your opinion regarding the reasons for numerical decline was also inaccurate as the FP church is in fact, now largely urban (e.g. Inverness, Edinburgh, Dingwall, Stornoway), whereas it is reduced to scattered handfuls of people in much of the heartland of its rural past, for instance in Wester Ross and Raasay. Leverburgh, Harris, would be one exception to this urban drift, and there may be others.

Maritime disasters
Hi, Ouddorp! I see that you recently added several entries to List of maritime disasters. That page is very badly sourced and one way to improve it would be to ensure that all new entries to the list have proper citations. Do you have any sources you could add for the changes you made? Thanks very much, Dricherby (talk) 11:08, 9 April 2013 (UTC)

Hello, I'm BracketBot. I have automatically detected that your edit to Genemuiden may have broken the syntax by modifying 1 "()"s. If you have, don't worry, just edit the page again to fix it. If I misunderstood what happened, or if you have any questions, you can leave a message on my operator's talk page.

Disambiguation link notification for March 28
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited 2013, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page September 2013 Pakistan bombing (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.
