Welcome to Wikipedia. We welcome and appreciate your contributions, including your edits to Rule of law, but we cannot accept original research. Original research also encompasses combining published sources in a way to imply something that none of them explicitly say. Please be prepared to cite a reliable source for all of your contributions. Thank you. Hello Scholar. Your second edit really caught my eye. When we edit WP, we avoid looking at sources and reading in our own analysis. As editors, we must look at what scholars (Biblical and legal) have said about Deut. 17:19. Two more points: your second edit did not have an edit summary and it was marked "minor". Summaries help other editors understand your intentions for the edit and "minor" is for truly minor edits liek like typos. Thanks. – S. Rich (talk) 18:24, 9 August 2013 (UTC)
