Welcome to Wikipedia. Because we have a policy against usernames which give the impression that the account represents a group, organization or website, I have blocked this account; please take a moment to create a new account with a username that represents only yourself as an individual and which complies with our username policy or request a change of username.

You should also read our conflict of interest guideline and be aware that promotional editing is not acceptable regardless of the username you choose. Additionally, If you receive, or expect to receive, compensation for your contributions to Wikipedia, you must disclose who is paying you to edit.

If your username does not represent a group, organization or website, you may appeal this username block by adding the text {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}} at the bottom of your talk page.

You may simply create a new account, but you may prefer to change your username to one that complies with our username policy, so that your past contributions are associated with your new username. If you would prefer to change your username, you may appeal this username block by adding the text

{{unblock-un|new username|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}

at the bottom of your talk page. Please note that you may only request a name that is not already in use, so please check here for a listing of already taken names.

 Thank you. 331dot (talk) 22:47, 13 June 2019 (UTC)

globally renamed NorthTyneside1819 to TeaAndCake1819. Sorry for the inconvenience.   Dlohcierekim (talk) 15:36, 12 July 2019 (UTC)

I've fixed your request for proper display(you highlight and copy it when viewing this page then open the edit window and paste it, filling in the information). 331dot (talk) 13:32, 5 July 2019 (UTC)

Please replace the words "new username" with your choice of name; or if you are just creating a new account, please indicate that. 331dot (talk) 13:33, 5 July 2019 (UTC)

if it's

their address, do they really need a rename?   Dlohcierekim (talk) 18:11, 5 July 2019 (UTC)

I think I blocked this because it suggests they represent the local government as they are editing about local government officials, but I'm content with your judgment on this. 331dot (talk) 18:16, 5 July 2019 (UTC)

It would probably eliminate the appearance of editing on the behalf of North Tyneside.  Dlohcierekim (talk) 14:13, 11 July 2019 (UTC)

BLP and sources

Please read my edit summaries for the last two times I've reverted you, you need to provide a reliable source, not a blog and provide relevance to the article. Please discuss it on the talk page and get consensus as continuing to reinstate this contested edit is directly against WP:BLP policy. Praxidicae (talk) 14:47, 9 August 2019 (UTC)

It’s a blog post on the News site where Mark Wallace is the editor! Sorry if I’m wrong but this is fairly clear

If it's not covered anywhere that is independent and reliable it's rather unlikely it should be in the article, then. Praxidicae (talk) 15:09, 9 August 2019 (UTC)

Marking edits as minor

Greetings, TeaAndCake1819! First of all, I wanted to thank you for your additions to Norma Redfearn; they are a welcome improvement to the article! The reason I am here is I that I noticed that you are marking most of your edits as "minor" and I wanted to make sure that you understood what "minor" means in Wikipedia's parlance. My guess is that you have the same mentality that I did when I first started: "I'm not really changing a great deal of the article, so it's not really a major edit." Here at Wikipedia, however, nearly all edits are considered "major" for our purposes. There is a great deal more information about this at Help:Minor edit, but in summary, the only time we should be marking edits is when we are making minor typographical changes that do not alter the underlying meaning of an article in any way. This can include adding a link (but not changing the semantics of that link), fixing spelling or punctuation, and the like, but that's about it. If you are adding or changing even the tiniest bit of content, that would be considered a major edit and should not be marked as minor.

The reason we avoid marking edits as minor as much as we can is because they are supposed to be edits that shouldn't even need to be checked by other editors. In fact, many editors filter minor edits out of their watchlists and recent changes lists. In most cases, though, it's good to have a second set of eyes on our edits even if we think they are tiny or completely uncontroversial, as others may have different opinions or perhaps we made a typo of our own, etc. It's even okay to leave truly minor edits unmarked; other editors don't mind reviewing small edits, and it gives them reassurance that you know what you are doing and aren't trying to "slip something past them." In fact, you could decide to never check that box again and it would be perfectly acceptable, even if you are only adding a comma, for example.

I definitely wanted to emphasize that there aren't any problems with your edits that I can see! You're adding useful content with sources to back it up, which is exactly what we need. So be proud of those edits and leave them marked as the major edits that they are. :) If you have questions about this, or anything else for that matter, I am happy to answer them as best I can. You can leave me a message on my own talk page, or you can answer me here (but if you do, be sure to "ping" me by using {{ping|Cthomas3}} somewhere in the message and then signing it with four tildes (~~~~) at the end—that will give me a notification that you've left me a message). Regards, CThomas³ (talk) 17:14, 30 August 2019 (UTC)
