Re: Swimming Pool
editHi, I'm not quite sure how I'm "running it down" - it is a fact that Empress is a private swimming pool, i.e. no lifeguards, no "pay as you go" type entry, and I have added a reference to back this up. It is also true that proposals for a public Council-run pool and other facilities have been delayed for nearly 20 years. Why hide that fact? Your opinion on my talk page seems to display a clear bias in favour of the pool, and I wonder if there's a conflict of interest going on, perhaps? D. Lion West (talk) 08:28, 19 May 2008 (UTC)
- Hi, I don't really want to disclose that information, thank you, but to get back to the discussion I don't really see what the problem is - there's nothing disparaging written about the Empress pool, in fact the reference I've used appears to be written by the Empress Group pointing out its charitable status, etc. There's no point hiding that it's a private pool...because it is. I also don't see why you have been removing the verified information about proposed plans for a public pool. As far as I can see that's relevant information to the section, highlighting some of the lack of facilities in the town. Wikipedia isn't for advertising, and it also discourages terms like "successful" unless there is some quantifiable measure of success.
- As for taking this really trivial dispite to some sort of editors dispute resolution, I think it's worth pointing out that most of the content of the Chatteris page has been written by me and that most of it is referenced. D. Lion West (talk) 00:02, 25 May 2008 (UTC)
Hi there. When editing an article on Wikipedia there is a small field labeled "Edit summary" under the main edit-box. It looks like this:
The text written here will appear on the Recent changes page, in the page revision history, on the diff page, and in the watchlists of users who are watching that article. See m:Help:Edit summary for full information on this feature.
Filling in the edit summary field greatly helps your fellow contributors in understanding what you changed, so please always fill in the edit summary field. If you are adding a section, please do not just keep the previous section's header in the Edit summary field - please fill in your new section's name instead. Thank you. D.
