Calvinism in the Church of England

Hello User:JASpencer! Thanks for your creation of Calvinism in the Church of England. I saw that you added a wikilink here and I think that the article's scope could be rightly broadened to Reformed theology in Anglicanism. I have thus moved the article. The title "Reformed Anglicanism" would also be acceptable in my view. I look forward to hearing your thoughts. With regards, Anupam^Talk 12:32, 26 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Brilliant move JASpencer (talk) 21:25, 26 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Dear User:JASpencer, thank you. I saw that you did change the title of the article again. In Christian articles, the term "Reformed Anglican" is quite a common one used to describe a person's theological stance. Since Anglicanism is spread wider than the Church of England, I would consider the previous title. I hope this helps. With regards, Anupam^Talk 20:42, 28 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I think you should reconsider @Anupam as the impact on the wider Anglican community is tiny. Anglicanism spread mostly after Calvinism very clearly stopped being the concensus in the Church of England. JASpencer (talk) JASpencer (talk) 21:00, 28 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

No problem with the "Reformed" part of the title, as towards the end the Calvinist label was clearly getting a bit sticky. But the Church of England is far more accurate. JASpencer (talk) 21:01, 28 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Article creation and ONUS

I was holding off on saying something, but this was also an issue. Your recent article and redirect creations regarding Christianity, including Calvinism in the Church of England and Late medieval Catholicism, have contained multiple issues. You seem to be rapidly creating articles by cutting-and-pasting portions of preexisting articles in a disjointed fashion, sometimes relying on large unsourced paragraphs. As with the aforementioned redirect, targeting it to a recent academic book is inappropriate. The same issue seems consistent across your other recent creations. The second issue is the spurious accusation that I was approaching 3RR for reverting your unproductive insertions into an article currently going through FAC, evidently without concern for whether they materially contributed to the article. Please slow down with your edits and consider utilizing drafts for your new articles and the talk page when you change something and are reverted once. ~ Pbritti (talk) 00:40, 28 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Also, I think you would do well to consider something you wrote: Why this allergy to citing facts?. I'd note that this comment does not build a constructive discussion, but rather comes across as an adversarial BATTLEGROUNDy barb. It also feels a bit odd, when the content you claimed was unsourced has a citation and your recent article creations feature a good amount of unsourced content. ~ Pbritti (talk) 01:05, 28 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]
