Welcome to Wikipedia. We welcome and appreciate your contributions, including your edits to Al Murray, but we cannot accept original research. Original research refers to material—such as facts, allegations, and ideas—for which no reliable, published sources exist; it also encompasses combining published sources in a way to imply something that none of them explicitly say. Please be prepared to cite a reliable source for all of your contributions. Per WP:BLPPRIMARY, Wikipedia should "not use trial transcripts and other court records, or other public documents, to support assertions about a living person". Wikipedia should only be using secondary-source commentary on the complaint, if it exists. McGeddon (talk) 09:32, 12 October 2015 (UTC)

Welcome to Wikipedia. Everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia. However, talk pages are meant to be a record of a discussion; deleting or editing legitimate comments, as you did at Talk:Al Murray, is considered bad practice, even if you meant well. Even making spelling and grammatical corrections in others' comments is generally frowned upon, as it tends to irritate the users whose comments you are correcting. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Editing one of your old comments that's already been replied to makes the thread confusing, as the reply can appear to ignore something you've said, or respond to something that wasn't said. If you want to take something back, strike it through. If you want to add a new point, post a new comment. McGeddon (talk) 09:24, 14 October 2015 (UTC)

Grammar

Oh, that's just a generic "don't edit your own or other people's comments" warning template, above, I only wrote the bit in italics. It's just mentioning grammar as an example of something else that you shouldn't correct. The only issue was you editing a comment after I'd replied to it. --McGeddon (talk) 07:57, 15 October 2015 (UTC)

Apologies for that. Yes, I did edit the talk section a little. Mainly because it looked like I'd said the same thing twice. If you can recall what it was I would be happy to put it back. Apologies again, should have mentioned that I was doing this. As it was "talk", I forgot.— Preceding unsigned comment added by FordFrazey (talk • contribs) 11:06, 15 October 2015‎

No problem. You can click "View history" on any page to see a full history of all edits made - here's the one for Talk:Al Murray. If you click the datestamp of the edit you want, it'll show you how the page looked at that point; you can either copy your text from there, or click "Edit" to see the raw wikitext of the talk page at that point, and copy it from there. --McGeddon (talk) 10:12, 15 October 2015 (UTC)

Thanks.
