→Two questions: A question about my use of the English language in articles
:# In this case, you own the right to that text, so it is okay to copy it over. We prefer not to just publish duplicate content which is also on WP, but doing this occasionally, and especially in small amounts is fine. Just make sure you don't copy any edits or additions from other WP users, and it should be fine.

:# Good question...There are many, but it depends what kind of content you are looking for. For example, answersingenesis.org and icr.org offer some great information in regard to science and history. I would be cautions of Christianity Today though, as it seems they sometimes are promoting things which don't exactly align with scripture. If you are looking for information on current events, wnd.com and breitbart.com can be good resources. These are not purely christian sites, but they are generally favorable towards Christianity and christian values. We also have a page with a bunch more links, although its organizational style might need a little work: [[Conservative_links#Conservative_Organizations]]. Do any of these help? Is there any topic in particular you need resources on? --[[User:DavidB4|<font color="ForestGreen">DavidB4</font>]] <sup>([[User talk:DavidB4|TALK]])</sup> 22:18, 10 March 2020 (EDT)

::Hello again. Thank you for your help and sorry for taking my time to reply to you. After editing for a while, my current concern is perhaps not so much my ability to find sources but my ability to translate my research onto pages in quality typed English. I don't like to copy word-for-word what a source says because of copyright and any other applicable reasons but I wonder if my use of thesaurus websites is creating weird sentences. For example, I found [https://www.christianpost.com/news/millennials-most-likely-to-fact-check-sermons-barna-study-finds.html this source] to use for the [[Millennial]] page but before I clicked the "Save Page" button, I wondered if saying that Millenials were "surelier to verify claims of taught moral messages" was strange wording. As I type this, it doesn't seem so bad, but I think there might be a worse example in my editing history. I remember in English class when I was in high school, I wrote "units of motor vehicles" for creative writing and the teacher thought my language was "scientific". Do you have any thoughts about this? Thanks.--[[User:StFrancisThames|StFrancisThames]] ([[User talk:StFrancisThames|talk]]) 18:36, 19 March 2020 (EDT)
