George Ferguson

edit

Hi, I noticed a couple of your edits removing George Ferguson (Mayor of Bristol) from Exploratory (museum) and At-Bristol. I think this is probably valid on At-Bristol but this source does say " He was a founder and Chairman of the Exploratory, Britain’s first hands-on science centre that gave birth to Explore-at-Bristol."— Rod talk 08:45, 2 June 2015 (UTC)Reply

Hi I did read that web page, but deferred back to the ful history included in the official former Exploratory site where the foundation of the museum is clearly attributed to Richard Gregory. I considered this source to be definitive in this instance. Ferguson was chairman later in the history of the museum, and may have been involved at the inception, but I felt the entry was potentially misleading in the prominence it gave Ferguson as potential "co-founder".

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited George Ferguson (Mayor of Bristol), you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Junket. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Content MUST reflect what the sources verify

edit

Your edit [1] GROSSLY misrepresents what the sources actually say. Such edits are unacceptable anywhere, but are particularly troublesome when changing content about living people. -- TRPoD aka The Red Pen of Doom 17:28, 16 September 2015 (UTC)Reply

  Please stop adding unreferenced or poorly referenced biographical content, especially if controversial, to articles or any other Wikipedia page. Content of this nature could be regarded as defamatory and is in violation of Wikipedia policy. If you continue, you may be blocked from editing Wikipedia. You MUST stop inserting claims of quotes where the sources do not verify the contents of the quote. -- TRPoD aka The Red Pen of Doom 17:42, 16 September 2015 (UTC)Reply

PLEASE will you read those citations properly and use the link to the video of the original incident where the entire conversation is recorded. THEN return the article to that revision. IF you have a query regarding issues like this it is commonplace to use the talk section of the page or note that a citation is needed

I read the citations properly. And the sources cited do not give the direct quote. We do not use the primary source of video to do our own transcriptions, particularly in a "heard but not seen" situation. -- TRPoD aka The Red Pen of Doom 18:26, 16 September 2015 (UTC)Reply

Westmoreland House

edit

What evidence do you have that "Westmoreland House" on Stokes Croft, Bristol doesn't have two Es in "Westmoreland"? There are numerous sources across the political spectrum that contradict your unsourced assertion : for example here, here, here, here, here and here. I know it's not exactly civil to say "you are completely wrong", but.... Ritchie333 (talk) (cont) 11:58, 8 November 2018 (UTC)Reply

Notice of Edit warring noticeboard discussion

edit

  Hello. This message is being sent to inform you that there is currently a discussion involving you at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Edit warring regarding a possible violation of Wikipedia's policy on edit warring. Thank you. Ritchie333 (talk) (cont) 12:18, 8 November 2018 (UTC)Reply

You have been blocked from editing for a period of 48 hours for edit warring. Once the block has expired, you are welcome to make useful contributions.
During a dispute, you should first try to discuss controversial changes and seek consensus. If that proves unsuccessful, you are encouraged to seek dispute resolution, and in some cases it may be appropriate to request page protection.
If you think there are good reasons for being unblocked, please read the guide to appealing blocks, then add the following text below the block notice on your talk page: {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}.  331dot (talk) 17:37, 8 November 2018 (UTC)Reply
I really didn't want it to come to this, but if a Google Street View image of the sign on the front door doesn't convince you that we had the right spelling in the first place, I'm not sure what will. :-( Ritchie333 (talk) (cont) 18:01, 8 November 2018 (UTC)Reply

Sockpuppet investigation

edit
 

An editor has opened an investigation into sockpuppetry by you. Sockpuppetry is the use of more than one Wikipedia account in a manner that contravenes community policy. The investigation is being held at Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/PearceMT, where the editor who opened the investigation has presented their evidence. Please make sure you make yourself familiar with the guide to responding to investigations, and then feel free to offer your own evidence or to submit comments that you wish to be considered by the Wikipedia administrator who decides the result of the investigation. If you have been using multiple accounts (in a manner contrary to Wikipedia policy), please go to the investigation page and verify that now. Leniency is usually shown to those who promise not to do so again, or who did so unwittingly, but the abuse of multiple accounts is taken very seriously by the Wikipedia community. User:Ritchie333 (talk) 17:26, 10 November 2018 (UTC)Reply
