I need support from other Wikipedian.

I am new as a Wikipedian and can embarrass myself. Not really having tried to edit a topic yet. Remember this as you evaluate my example of improvement. Two or three rejection I can deal with though I dislike.

In one Biblical Church the saved were called Christian. The meaning of Christian inhabits that of meaning Christianity as if it were member being in the Church within their church building. Unless other than the nature of things "Christian" has a general meaning most read and most accept as common. When a title in a persons past life explains past and present ( and may be explains future ) circumstance a person commits to being this. Any person can commit even when that person is smaller than any title offered and has no title. A person commits to a title making a person committed to and carrying out all work associated with this title by the person accepting this title which proves the person with the title. Past present and future, the meaning is the same for as long as the title sticks when the title is kept.

I am not saying that there is no need for denoting reference to single or multiple belief, and a the title Christian within the title Young Mens Christian Association. ( This is not to disgrace those who are Christian. ) and since Christian are protected in the United States Of America from any type of harm, mind, body, and soul, it is not only wrong to use Christian in differently but punishable.. An example of this punishment is comparable with a member having said or done some small wrong within the large Church, catches hell outside the church. This being offensive to the person harmed is by Church decision to be refunded to the offended in the manner agreed on by both. Christian is a title only, and one people in the United States Of America take seriously. The Wikipedian who used "Christian" here has to some degree, small or large, offended the Christian. If small enough, a simple "I am sorry, I apologize" after fixing the problem, often makes things right. Leroy 11-28-1952 (talk) 04:03, 23 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Ohio is not in Canada

Under the YMCA in Canada title, there is a photo of the YMCA in Columbus, Ohio. It should probably be replaced by a photo of a YMCA in Canada. The one in Sudbury, Ontario is nice. 174.94.26.254 (talk) 15:24, 21 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

No reference to gay subculture?

Shouldn't there be a reference to the fact that YMCA's were initially setup for the purpose of being outlets for the gay community prior to the cultural shift of acceptance? 203.46.132.214 (talk) 03:12, 28 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Do you have a source on that? I know that the YMCA has been a very large part of the LGBT+ subculture and that fact should be mentioned, but claiming that the YMCA was founded for gay men feels like a stretch that I have not seen claimed anywhere whatsoever. 2607:F430:33A:F1D1:495:F7C9:ADBD:E588 (talk) 13:18, 31 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
