Hello Lennonfan1. (Nice user name, by the way!) I get it—you really want the Slough article to mention proximity to Heathrow, but you're going about it the wrong way. It is your responsibility to seek consensus for the changes you're making, which have been reverted by multiple editors. That's the way Wikipedia operates. Please read this essay which details the best practice, then open a discussion at Talk:Slough if you want to pursue this. Whatever you do, don't just keep inserting the disputed content. If you do, you are edit warring, which is against policy and may lead to revocation of your editing privileges. Let's not go down that road, OK? RivertorchFIREWATER 16:14, 15 August 2017 (UTC)Reply

Can you be more specific please. Remember Slough has expanded into Colnbrook and Poyle.So proximity to Heathrow has decreased.We are infact on it's borders as a Borough. Lennonfan1 (talk) 01:28, 14 April 2020 (UTC)Reply

Built up areas for (a) Greater London (b) "Greater Slough"

per the 2011 census, which is the basis for the table, not editor opinion. Maybe the ONS will revise for 2021 and you can have the pleasure of implementing it. --John Maynard Friedman (talk) 00:22, 9 January 2021 (UTC)Reply

Not sure where this discussion emanates from? Lennonfan1 (talk) 02:41, 9 January 2021 (UTC)Reply

to explain why I reverted your edit to List of urban areas in the United Kingdom. I thought that the mapping provided via these links would make it clear where London ends and Slough starts. The ONS definition is that Built-up Areas are distinct if there is a clear gap of at least 200 metres between them. It doesn't have to be farmland, rivers and motorways qualify afaics. The table uses BUAs. I suppose we could use LUZs but that would be a different table. --John Maynard Friedman (talk) 09:21, 9 January 2021 (UTC)Reply

Well if you go by that premise, why is Bracknell included. Slough has been expanded to include Poyle, just west of Heathrow. This is less than 200m gap. Lennonfan1 (talk) 22:54, 23 January 2021 (UTC)Reply

We have to go with what the source says, even if you may disagree, because Wikipedia:No original research Eopsid (talk) 14:56, 26 March 2021 (UTC)Reply

You've vandalised the Greater London Built-up Area article now even though you were told explicitly that Slough wasnt part of London's built-up area, with links to the source. Eopsid (talk) 09:24, 13 June 2021 (UTC)Reply

Fair enough. However if Bracknell is included, I fIl to see how Slough is not included now. This because Slough has absorbed Colnbrook and Poyle. Look at their locations. I don't want to get into a semantic dispute, however. Lennonfan1 (talk) 20:06, 26 June 2021 (UTC)Reply

  Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did at A Hard Day's Night (album). Your edits appear to be disruptive and have been or will be reverted.

Please ensure you are familiar with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines, and please do not continue to make edits that appear disruptive. Continued disruptive editing may result in loss of editing privileges. Thank you. Sundayclose (talk) 01:43, 3 March 2021 (UTC)Reply

  You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you add unsourced material to Wikipedia, as you did at A Hard Day's Night (album). Sundayclose (talk) 00:28, 4 March 2021 (UTC)Reply

Please explain how I have been disruptive? Wikipedia is supposed to be about "facts" . I am stating the truth John Lennon wrote most of the songs on A Hard Days Night! Who are you anyway? Lennonfan1 (talk) 10:26, 4 March 2021 (UTC)Reply

First of all, it doesn't matter who I am; everyone on Wikipedia has equal status. This edit is unsourced as to the album "showcasing ... the dominance of John Lennon". That's your personal opinion that it showcases Lennon's dominance. Then here you didn't bother to look at your edit, which changed a wikilink, making it nonfunctional. Sundayclose (talk) 00:44, 5 March 2021 (UTC)Reply

It's not my opinion, it's a fact and is well documented. Look at each individual song in same article and this clarifies. What you keep preventing me from, is trying to clarify the facts. Can we escalate this as I would like an adjudicator please. Lennonfan1 (talk) 14:42, 5 March 2021 (UTC)Reply

"The threshold for inclusion is verifiability, not truth". You have inserted your opinion about what is a "fact", but you have not provided a reliable source. That is required by Wikipedia. And this is not the first time you have made unsourced edits. Please familiarize yourself with WP:RS, WP:V, WP:NOR, and WP:NPOV before making any additional edits. Thank you. Sundayclose (talk) 20:00, 5 March 2021 (UTC)Reply

Well I'm sorry, you obviously know very little about the Beatles! It is well know that Lennon wrote most of the songs on that album. 10/13. You can see this substantiated when you look at "track listing" on this album.I have been a life long fan and I know the Beatles inside out! Lennonfan1 (talk) 00:48, 6 March 2021 (UTC)Reply

I'm quite knowledgeable about the Beatles, but so are lots of people; we're certainly not the only two. But it is entirely irrelevant how much you or I personally know about the Beatles. One of us could be best friends with Paul McCartney, but that doesn't change Wikipedia's policies. I'm not disputing who wrote the songs. What you are failing to grasp (or perhaps you don't want to grasp it) is that, regardless of who wrote the songs, everything you add to the article requires a reliable source, including your addition of "particularly the dominance of John Lennon on this record". Instead of bragging about your expertise on the Beatles (which is completely unverifiable unless you have produced reliable publications) and making snarky, baseless comments about others, take some time to read the policies I have linked above. Refusing to familiarize yourself with Wikipedia's policies is not an option and, now that you have been warned multiple times, could cause you to lose your editing privileges if you continue violating them. Sundayclose (talk) 20:47, 6 March 2021 (UTC)Reply

Why are you threatening me? What powers do you have? I suspect that you are working on behalf of McCartney who has spent the last 40 years, re-writing history! Trying to claim authorship of Lennon's songs and claiming to negate Lennon's contributions to his songs such as Eleanor Rigby, Michelle, etc etc. Poor bloke can't protest from his grave, so I am doing it for him! Lennonfan1 (talk) 20:20, 7 March 2021 (UTC)Reply

I'm not threatening. I'm explaining why you can't make some of the edits you have attempted. And, as I have already said, it doesn't matter "what powers I have"; everyone has equal status here. You're not helping your reputation here by claiming outlandish conspiracy theories. If you're the "expert" on the Beatles that you claim you are, you would know that Paul McCartney very likely doesn't care what's on Wikipedia. Open your eyes, Mr. Expert. McCartney and all of the Beatles made their reputations and their fortunes when Jimmy Wales was in diapers. This is my last message unless you make other inappropriate edits; I (and most people on Wikipedia) have far better things to do than listen to a self-proclaimed :"Beatles expert" who doesn't have a clue about Wikipedia policies and apparently has no desire to learn. I'm outa here. Sundayclose (talk) 01:27, 8 March 2021 (UTC)Reply

Pete Townshend has English and Irish heritage. This is fact Lennonfan1 (talk) 11:12, 9 October 2022 (UTC)Reply

If you Google Pete Townshend ethnicity, you will find English and Irish. I would like this stated please. Lennonfan1 (talk) 11:15, 9 October 2022 (UTC)Reply

I have read Pete Townshend's autobiography and he clearly states his Irish descent. How is this a violation! please clarify. Lennonfan1 (talk) 16:40, 29 November 2022 (UTC)Reply

I am very unhappy about being blocked indefinitely. This is an error and can you please explain how I can email article taken via Desert Island Discs which will prove my evidence. Lennonfan1 (talk) 14:41, 24 December 2022 (UTC)Reply
