October 2019[edit]

Please do not add or change content, as you did at Jeremy Hunt, without citing a reliable source. Please review the guidelines at Wikipedia:Citing sources and take this opportunity to add references to the article. Thank you. David Biddulph (talk) 17:50, 7 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Home Secretary[edit]

The article on this post is at Home Secretary. The formal name is almost never used. Please stop your changes. -- Necrothesp (talk) 16:26, 16 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Foreign Secretary[edit]

The Commonwealth was only established in 1926 so the 1st Duke of Wellington cannot have been Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs. Dormskirk (talk) 17:58, 16 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

October 2019[edit]

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Arthur Wellesley, 1st Duke of Wellington‎; that means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be, when you have seen that other editors disagree. Users are expected to collaborate with others, to avoid editing disruptively, and to try to reach a consensus, rather than repeatedly undoing other users' edits once it is known that there is a disagreement.

Points to note:

Edit warring is disruptive regardless of how many reverts you have made;
Do not edit war even if you believe you are right.

If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page to discuss controversial changes and work towards a version that represents consensus among editors. You can post a request for help at an appropriate noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, it may be appropriate to request temporary page protection. If you engage in an edit war, you may be blocked from editing. Favonian (talk) 15:03, 17 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

November 2019[edit]

Your recent editing history at Harriet Harman shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war; that means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be, when you have seen that other editors disagree. To resolve the content dispute, please do not revert or change the edits of others when you are reverted. Instead of reverting, please use the talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. The best practice at this stage is to discuss, not edit-war. See the bold, revert, discuss cycle for how this is done. If discussions reach an impasse, you can then post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.

Being involved in an edit war can result in you being blocked from editing—especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring—even if you don't violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.

Tommy Robinson[edit]

He was appointed by Batten to, I believe, a paid post, but he was not actually a member. UKIP's rules (then at least) actually banned him from being a member. You have a point about Independent.

Incidentally, when you post on a talk page you should sign your contributions. Use 4 tildes ( ~ symbol) to automatically add you name, the time and date. Emeraude (talk) 17:58, 22 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

November 2019[edit]

Hello. Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia.

When editing Wikipedia, there is a field labeled "Edit summary" below the main edit box. It looks like this:

Edit summary (Briefly describe your changes)

Please be sure to provide a summary of every edit you make, even if you write only the briefest of summaries. The summaries are very helpful to people browsing an article's history.

Edit summary content is visible in:

Please use the edit summary to explain your reasoning for the edit, or a summary of what the edit changes. You can give yourself a reminder to add an edit summary by setting Preferences → Editing → Prompt me when entering a blank edit summary. Please use your edit summaries, and please quit changing official portraits. From now on, if it’s not explained, your edits will be seen as vandalism. Corky 16:58, 29 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Credentials[edit]

Per MOS:Credential, the guidance is Academic and professional titles (such as "Dr." or "Professor"), including honorary ones, should be used in a Wikipedia article only when the subject is widely known by a pseudonym or stage name containing such a title (whether earned or not). In this case, it may be included in the pseudonym as described above (e.g. Ruth Westheimer, better known as Dr. Ruth ...). However, verifiable facts about how a person attained his or her title should be included in the article. The edits that you're making are contrary to this guideline; please stop. Schazjmd (talk) 20:55, 7 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

June 2020[edit]

Please do not add or change content, as you did at Stephen Kingsley, without citing a reliable source. Please review the guidelines at Wikipedia:Citing sources and take this opportunity to add references to the article. Thank you. Mattythewhite (talk) 16:05, 17 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

February 2021[edit]

Hello. I have noticed that you often edit without using an edit summary. Please do your best to always fill in the summary field. This helps your fellow editors use their time more productively, rather than spending it unnecessarily scrutinizing and verifying your work. Even a short summary is better than no summary, and summaries are particularly important for large, complex, or potentially controversial edits. Thanks! power~enwiki (π, ν) 02:41, 13 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Murder of Libby Squire moved to draftspace[edit]

An article you recently created, Murder of Libby Squire, is not suitable as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page.
