Hi Mrimp I see you made a load of additions to Lincoln, Lincolnshire but I also note another editor has reverted them on the grounds of Adverts and pov . Do not take it that your contributions are unwelcome, but please have alook at the links above for editing tips as some sections you added would be more acceptable if they have a WP:References to back claims up as wikipedia has a requirement for WP:Verifiability. The general addition of large numbers of household names to articles tends to get removed unless there is some context to justfiy there inclusion, as they are on every high street and it just looks like aplug. Statements added to Wikipedia have to conform to WP:NPOV and some of yours in the opinion of the other editor did not . If you have any questions you can ask them here or on my talk page.

{{help me}}

Thanks for the Info, and understood. However, I added a feature on Lincoln's culture and nightlife that hasn't been accepted, purely stating what is there for the outside visitors and locals. I do not see this as a method of advertising, I am a local person passionate about giving others a chance to see what Lincoln has to offer.

• You've already done the right thing by going to the talk page at Talk:Lincoln, Lincolnshire and starting a new discussion about it there.
  If I look at your changes, two of the problems I see is that they are not written from a neutral point of view ("a lively and popular nightlife", "a stylish feel", "well served for culture and nightlife", all of those would need a reference in a reliable source like a newspaper), and that the section sounds like it could be from a guide book rather than an encyclopadic article (see here).
  I hope that helps a little, and Cheers, Amalthea 16:39, 5 December 2008 (UTC)
