Talk:New Buckenham

2016

Dear user 'Onel5969', I note you deleted input to this page referring to the Annual Art Exhibition that occurs in this village - (it is a very long established and highly respected event, note large placards currently standing on the village green as usual). It appears you reside in Arizona..... I expect it would be helpful to other users and me, if you could say why you deleted this factually correct addition to the page ?

Pinging onel5969. Undoubtedly becasue it was unsourced. You should realise that by now, having been told the same thing yourself! If it is that famous, someone, somewhere, will have written upon it in a reliable, secondary source. Mind you, WP:TRIVIA sometimes applies.

please explain how you 'source' a factual thing like the art show......, it is a simple fact about the place, there's a church too, an enormous edifice of considerable importance, some readers might find that interesting, how would you 'source' that... ??.... these are simple facts......

similarly what was wrong with including a link to the village society webpage that includes a lot of interesting and carefully assembled material, that the same user tried to put up a few days ago that was also struck off immediately by an editor who seems to live miles away... ? you cannot 'source' that sort of thing, it is a fact relevant to the page.

Hi Observer900 (and thanks for the ping Fortuna Imperatrix Mundi!) - There are a couple of issues. First, when you make a change and source it with "Source; 1597 map and numerous sequential OS Sheets + local knowledge" - that's not a valid source. Even if you linked to an actual map, the changes to the article would amount to your interpretation of that map, which is WP:OR. Same thing with the next edit change you attempted. I'll let Charlesdrakew speak as to why they removed the link to the Society's webpage. I reverted an edit of uncited material to an article which has already been tagged as lacking sources. If a lack of sources issue already exists, no sense in adding to that problem. Onel5969 ^{TT me} 20:26, 23 March 2016 (UTC)

Observer900 I see you are a new editor and from my experience not everything in Wikipedia is immediately intuitive. On your talk page [1] at the top is a welcome message from User talk:I dream of horses with links to several articles which might well help you. She has offered more help if you want it, but dipping in to the linked articles should help clarify some of the Wikipedia mysteries. Another place to ask for help is Wikipedia:Teahouse/Questions which is directed towards newer editors. SovalValtos (talk) 21:26, 23 March 2016 (UTC)

Hi Observer900 As I have a particular knowledge of New Buckenham I thought I could usefully add to the page. I thought my addition about the fete and the link to the Society's website utterly uncontentious and of interest to readers. I am dismayed that they have been removed as they appear to follow the spirit and guidelines of Wikipedia. I am a complete beginner in editing Wikipedia and do not wish to be put off making my contributions, for example I also have a paragraph that enlarges (with citations) the paragraph on A Planned Town but I wonder if this will go the same way as the link.
