May 2018 edit

  Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, articles should not be moved, as you did to Lancaster, without good reason. They need to have a name that is both accurate and intuitive. Wikipedia has some guidelines in place to help with this. Generally, a page should only be moved to a new title if the current name doesn't follow these guidelines. Also, if a page move is being discussed, consensus needs to be reached before anybody moves the page. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you. —C.Fred (talk) 17:46, 7 May 2018 (UTC)Reply

  Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to vandalize Wikipedia, you may be blocked from editing. Stop moving pages around. CHRISSYMAD ❯❯❯¯\_(ツ)_/¯ 17:59, 7 May 2018 (UTC)Reply

Ackley Bridge characters edit

@Combinedauthorities: I thought I'd say I removed characters off the main page completely. They were put there when the show was under 3 series, but now it's going to be 3+ series and going by wikipedia's manual of style, it can (and should) be separate.

January 2019 edit

  Please do not change the general accepted name for the 1922 Committee on the Conservative Party (UK) page. The article already states the official name, but "1922 Committee" is used in all media and on Graham Brady's letterhead. Thank you, David J Johnson (talk) 15:28, 4 January 2019 (UTC)Reply

Politics edit

Hi Combinedauthorities! On Talk:Labour Party (UK)#Centre-left to left wing, when I said that the political views of editors don't determine content, I meant the discussion on the subject about how editors viewed the politics of the Parliamentary Labour Party, Clause IV or the spectral location of democratic socialism aren't arguments that count for much. Arguments based on Wikipedia policy, guidelines and the Manual of Style are the way to change people's minds! That said, you did mention your own political views on two occasions in that discussion. Most people editing articles about political subjects will have some view on them, but there's no need to declare them in Talk page comments. Userboxes on your User page can tell any curious editors about your views if you want to be open about them. If you have any questions about anything, please feel free to drop onto my talk page. Ralbegen (talk) 00:27, 7 January 2019 (UTC)Reply

@Ralbegen: Hi Ralbegan, I only mentioned my centre-left views so as to emphasise on how neutrally I am acting (as I want the party's left-wing side to also be accurately accounted for), that's all. Furthermore, democratic socalism is a left wing ideology period. It's not a view, but a fact (which Wikipedia and its approved sources can also support). But nevertheless, in the Labour talk page I also added some sources that adhere to wikipedia guidelines. But thank you for the advice on Wikiepdia policy and the Manual of Style, and I really do appreciate you taking the time to clear some stuff up.--Combinedauthorities (talk) 16:23, 7 January 2019 (UTC)Reply

Arguing via edit summaries edit

This is a generic warning: you may disagree with what other editors do, but arguing via edit summaries is avoiding the proper established ways of doing things on wikipedia. Therefore, it is becoming disruptive. Please do not do it again.  DDStretch  (talk) 08:49, 3 February 2019 (UTC)Reply
