Talk:Sts. Peter and Paul Russian Orthodox Church

Very close wording to source material

edit

This passage is almost a word for word, if not a phrase for phrase lifting from the source material in reference, (2). Though credit is given, quotes are missing for the direct lifting from source material. This was only discovered when I doing a Web search on this fascinating little church while reading the source material. There must be something more creative we can say about this church than lift the material directly from a book with a few words changed. Wb7dru (talk) 01:46, 28 August 2016 (UTC)Reply

Russian-American or Rusyns

edit

An IP has proposed the change from Russian-American to Rusyns. I proposed they discuss the change here as I cannot find a connection between this church and Rusyns on Google. However, I will admit I am very unfamiliar with this topic and could be missing something. HickoryOughtShirt?4 (talk) 03:31, 20 January 2018 (UTC)Reply

The immigrants whom founded this church were Carpatho-Rusyn ie: Lemko. They came from Galicia under the Austria-Hungarian Empire. They were not Russian. In the early 1900's all Orthodox churches in America were under Russian Orthodox. Prior to immigration these people were Greek Orthodox. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Lizo128 (talkcontribs) 18:04, 20 January 2018 (UTC)Lizo128 (talk) 18:35, 20 January 2018 (UTC)Reply

If you can find a reliable source on this (as per WP:RS) please feel free to add this info to the wiki HickoryOughtShirt?4 (talk) 19:28, 20 January 2018 (UTC)Reply
@Lizo128: Please note that you should not add Wikipedia in references on the articles page but instead hyperlink it using square brackets around the word you want to link HickoryOughtShirt?4 (talk) 19:45, 20 January 2018 (UTC)Reply
I think the book might be okay but it must be cited as per Template:Cite book. Do you own this book? It might be important to own, or at least have a library that has it in stock, because if you are citing info from that book you should be able to provide the page number so other people can look it up too.
