Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Scapular of Our Lady of Mount Carmel, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Vatican ( check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

JBGeorge77, I have just reverted your edit to the article Glossolalia because it is obvious that your hadn't even looked at the article, let alone read it, before you made your addition.
Basically, if you had begun at the beginning, then you would have read that Christian "tongues" is only one form of "Glossolalia". So this means that you needed to find the right section for your addition.
You see, Christianity is already mentioned.... read, read, read, ....and all the relevant chapters are already mentioned with a brief description of the subject matter. So individual verses that use the word "tongues" is clearly not necessary, because the info has already been stated in a slightly different way.
Also: to your average reader, a heading that says Verses where tongues are mentioned is totally meaningless! Only a Penecostal Christian will know what you are talking about. Or maybe someone with the gift of prophecy. No-one else will know. Because you didn't use the word Bible in the heading. And, to most people "verse" means "poetry"; it doesn't mean "Bible" so you have to be specific. Also, the word "tongues" means "things in people's mouths"; it doesn't mean "foreign languages". So when you write for an encyclopedia, you have to think about the context and the fact that millions of people, both Christian and non-Christian will consult this information. You are writing here for the people who don't know; not for the people who know this stuff already.
That is why there are clear headings in the article. You need to find the right heading and read to see if you information is there already.
I've pasted my advice for smart editting below.
