Wikipedia relies on reliable sources to verify information - this is especially important when dealing with living people. We cannot rely on the word of somebody claiming to be a relative of the subject, I'm afraid. GiantSnowman 12:04, 15 May 2018 (UTC)Reply

  Please stop your disruptive editing.

If you continue to disrupt Wikipedia, as you did at Reece Webb-Foster, you may be blocked from editing.

Do not change material that is referenced to a reliable source without providing an equally sound source to substantiate your changes. Do not add unsubstantiated changes citing 'personal knowledge' as this is original research and not acceptable to the encyclopedia. Which relies upon verifiabilty for all its content. Thank you.

Managing a conflict of interest

edit

  Hello, Luke Mills1996. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about on Wikipedia, you may have a conflict of interest (COI). Editors with a COI may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic. See the conflict of interest guideline and FAQ for organizations for more information. We ask that you:

  • avoid editing or creating articles about yourself, your family, friends, company, organization or competitors;
  • propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (see the {{request edit}} template);
  • disclose your COI when discussing affected articles (see WP:DISCLOSE);
  • avoid linking to your organization's website in other articles (see WP:SPAM);
  • do your best to comply with Wikipedia's content policies.

In addition, you must disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation (see WP:PAID).

Also please note that editing for the purpose of advertising, publicising, or promoting anyone or anything is not permitted. Thank you.Eagleash (talk) 12:07, 15 May 2018 (UTC)Reply

Absolute rubbish.!

There is no “ claiming “ here! I have pictorial proof that we are in fact, brothers. We used to go to the city game together with our dad all throughout our childhood! Who are you? Some glorified editor that thinks he can take the high road just because you’ve made hundreds of thousands of edits on Wikipedia? When I’m someone that actually knows. And stop correcting my edit that he was born in Haworth! He was born in the same hospital as I was. Luke Mills1996 (talk) 12:24, 15 May 2018 (UTC)Reply

It is imperative that you thoroughly read all the links that have been provided on this page by various editors, in order that you gain an understanding of how Wikipedia works and what you can and cannot do. If you edit outside the rules and conventions it could well lead to the loss of editing privileges. Eagleash (talk) 12:54, 15 May 2018 (UTC)Reply

Hi there - Wikipedia relies on reliable sources to verify information, especially about living people. It is important that you include sources when making changes - I have added a source to support your edits to Maik Taylor, but please try and remember in future.

Oh I give up. It’s a completely editable Page. Someone could’ve added to it if need be. I didn’t write anything wrong. I just won’t bother. My sports journalism writing position with Sportskeeda is more interesting and important anyway. At least with them people focus on the positive attributes of my articles and I have wn audience of over 3,000 readers and I’m not even part time there, I literally just pop in ever three to four weeks and write one. And there’s a cash sum paid per 1000 reads. This though I think I’ll just move on from it. I apparently can’t right a wrong! Ah well. Luke Mills1996 (talk) 13:53, 17 March 2019 (UTC)Reply

Reece Webb-Foster place of birth

edit

If you have sources which confirm the 'correct' POB then please let us know... GiantSnowman 09:29, 16 October 2019 (UTC)Reply

What

edit

I’m his brother. My father is his father. I shouldn’t have to provide a source. He wasn’t born in Haworth as you claim, he was born in the same hospital as I was. Where did you even get that “information” from? Because I doubt you know him or indeed anyone from my family. Luke Mills1996 (talk) 01:29, 8 November 2019 (UTC)Reply

You cannot keep on claiming this person is your brother. If you have evidence then please submit it via WP:OTRS. As you have been told multiple times before you have a conflict of interest and should NOT edit the article. As you have also been told before, Wikipedia relies on reliable sources to verify information. This is especially important about living people. The Haworth place of birth is sourced to this.

Sourcing

edit

As you have been previously told - Wikipedia relies on reliable sources to verify information, especially about living people. You didn't provide a source for your changes to the Reece Webb-Foster article, but I have found one and added it for you. Please try and remember to include sources yourself with future edits. Please let me know if you have any questions. PS you should not be editing if this person is your brother per WP:COI. GiantSnowman 19:49, 15 July 2020 (UTC)Reply

  Hello, I'm Redrose64. I noticed that you made a comment on the page User talk:Plastikspork that didn't seem very civil, so it may have been removed. Wikipedia is built on collaboration, so it's one of our core principles to interact with one another in a polite and respectful manner. If you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. --Redrose64 🌹 (talk) 20:38, 13 July 2021 (UTC)Reply

In addition to the warning from Redrose64: Plastikspork's bot did not make the edit that you are so infuriated by. That content was added in 2011 by a completely different editor. Schazjmd (talk) 20:40, 13 July 2021 (UTC)Reply
