Welcome to Wikipedia. Everyone is welcome to contribute to the encyclopedia, but when you add or change content, as you did to the article Waldensians, please cite a reliable source for your addition. This helps maintain our policy of verifiability. See Wikipedia:Citing sources for how to cite sources, and the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you.

Per WP:Verifiability, "The threshold for inclusion in Wikipedia is verifiability, not truth" and "burden of evidence lies with the editor who adds or restores material." It is also fine to remove material that is not supported by a reliable source. Ian.thomson (talk) 22:26, 21 December 2011 (UTC)
- I would also recommend that you look for sources in scholarly journals, or other outside sources, as my initial cursory glance mostly revealed individuals claiming to be descended from Mormon Waldensians, the sort of claim that (in other religions) causes pride to overshadow evidence (or its absence).

- Actually, User talk:Ian.thomson would be the usual place to contact me, as your messages concerned article business. I labelled by grafitti page for conversational messages, so my talk page may be used for article related messages. I have not read all the way through all the citations, but looking over the first few, you have provided the right sort of sources (google unfortunately does not give uniform search results for everyone).
