-[[File:Information.svg|25px|alt=Information icon]] Hello, I'm [[User:Railfan23|Railfan23]]. I noticed that you added or changed content in an article, [[:Anton LaVey]], but you didn't provide a [[Wikipedia:Reliable sources|reliable source]]. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now, but if you'd like to [[Wikipedia:Citing sources|include a citation]] and re-add it, please do so. If you need guidance on referencing, please see the [[Help:Referencing for beginners|referencing for beginners]] tutorial, or if you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on [[User talk:Railfan23|my talk page]]. Thank you. <!-- Template:uw-unsourced1 --> [[User:Railfan23|Railfan23]] ([[User talk:Railfan23|talk]]) 20:23, 13 June 2019 (UTC)
-:''If this is a [[Network address translation|shared IP address]], and you did not make the edits referred to above, consider [[Wikipedia:Why create an account?|creating an account]] for yourself or [[Special:UserLogin|logging in with an existing account]] so that you can avoid further irrelevant notices.''<!-- Template:Shared IP advice -->
-:Simple Wikipedia (and indeed Wikipedia itself) is not a reliable source. Please read Wikipedia's [[WP:RS|guidelines on reliable sources]]. The Times of Israel article you cite explicitly describes LeVay as "Jewish-born" which is not the same as describing him as Jewish. So that source does not support your edit either. If you do find a reliable source for your change, you will need to [[WP:CITE|cite that source]] along with the addition. Thanks, [[User:Railfan23|Railfan23]] ([[User talk:Railfan23|talk]]) 20:37, 13 June 2019 (UTC)
-Here is the source, The Times of Israel itself confirms.  https://www.timesofisrael.com/in-haunted-salem-a-jewish-church-founder-preaches-the-art-of-satanic-social-change/
-From the Times of Israel article:  "The Church of Satan was founded by Jewish-born Anton LaVey in 1966. Known in his heyday as “the black pope,” LaVey seeded “grotto” churches around the country, and Hollywood figures including Sammy Davis Jr. joined the church. (Davis had converted to Judaism in 1961.)
-As the “sigil” for his movement, LaVey adopted an inverted pentacle surrounded by the Hebrew letters for Leviathan, a sea monster featured in the Old Testament. From the center of the pentacle glares the half-human, half-animal Baphomet, both female and male, intending to symbolize the harmony of the universe".
-:Yes, I know that's the article, I mentioned it in my reply to you: see where I said "The Times of Israel article you cite explicitly describes LeVay as "Jewish-born" which is not the same as describing him as Jewish". Please read my actual words. I've fixed the very poor attempt you made to cite the source - please read [[WP:CITE]] properly before continuing to edit articles.
