Ways to improve Scandals under the Boris Johnson premiership

edit

Hello, Francisbishopdown,

Thank you for creating Scandals under the Boris Johnson premiership.

I have tagged the page as having some issues to fix, as a part of our page curation process and note that:

Currently several sections are missing sources. Sources are essential for every Wikipedia page per our policy on verification. Please could you prioritise adding references for every claim made in the text – this means every section should be sourced. This is particularly important as some of the content falls under our policy on biographies of living persons. I see most of the text is built on the introduction of other Wikipedia articles. Please note that attribution is required when copying within Wikipedia. There are three ways to fix this. Firstly, you can fully rephrase/summarise any copied text. Secondly, you can place the {{Copied}} template on the article talk page and fill in the parameters (in the future, you should ideally provide a link to the version of the article you're copying from in your edit summary). Thirdly, you can follow the instructions here to synchronise the lead section of a different page with a section within this one (this process is slightly more complicated to set up than the others).

The tags can be removed by you or another editor once the issues they mention are addressed. If you have questions, leave a comment here and begin it with {{Re|Jr8825}}. Remember to sign your reply with ~~~~. For broader editing help, please visit the Teahouse.

Delivered via the Page Curation tool, on behalf of the reviewer.

Following on from this, another editor has redirected the page to Boris Johnson as they believe it's an inappropriate fork. If you have any questions, the best places to ask are the Teahouse or the talk page of the editor who made the redirect, Smartse. Jr8825Talk 10:05, 20 January 2022 (UTC)Reply
Hello. To add to this, it would be better if you could try to improve Premiership of Boris Johnson rather than creating a separate article containing only negative information. Further, the Patel and Hancock incidents have not risen to the level of a scandal. Reply here if you have any questions. SmartSE (talk) 13:44, 20 January 2022 (UTC)Reply

List of United Kingdom Members of Parliament by university moved to draftspace

edit

An article you recently created, List of United Kingdom Members of Parliament by university, is not suitable as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page.

Appealing your block

Per this exchange last year regarding your continuing to edit under a variety of sockpuppets of indefinitely blocked User:Politialguru: "If you wish to edit again, plead your case and unless and until you are released, you must not edit. Running multiple WP:SOCKPUPPETs is hardly a way to further your cause." Mutt Lunker (talk) 14:25, 10 April 2022 (UTC)Reply

  Please do not move a page to a title that is harder to follow, or move it unilaterally against naming conventions or consensus, as you did to Regent Centre Interchange. This includes making page moves while a discussion remains underway. We have some guidelines to help with deciding what title is best for a subject. If you would like to experiment with page titles and moving, please use the test Wikipedia. There was no consensus to move the page. Before moving a page you must discuss your proposals on the talk page - see WP:MOVE Mattdaviesfsic (talk) 06:24, 19 April 2022 (UTC)Reply
