Tom Ferrour, you are invited to the Co-op!

How may I be of service?

Hi, Tom. I'm DocTree, selected as your Co-op mentor. I see in your profile that you're concerned about an edit (likely edits) made by another editor. That may relate more to dispute resolution rather than writing but that's part of editing Wikipedia. I see from the article edit history that several editors are actively working on the article. Consulting Association appears to be a quite controversial subject.

The first step is bold-revert-discuss that you will often see as WP:BRD. If you see something that you believe is incorrect, be bold and change it, citing a reliable source for the information. If another editor reverts your edit, discuss things on the the article's talk page. Ideally, discussion will resolve the issue.

If you have specific questions, leave a note here. I'll be watching for a while. Our convention is to put a colon in front of each follow-up paragraph on talk pages to indent them. That makes it easier to follow discussions. Don't forget to sign your talk page edits with four tildes (~~~~). For now, take care, DocTree (ʞlɐʇ·ʇuoɔ) WER 22:48, 8 September 2015 (UTC)

Cheers the missing info is back on now :) (~~~~)

I have a similar problem again.

On this page: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tom_Watson_%28politician%29 some info that I added has been removed. The removal note states: 10:02, 15 September 2015‎ Hazhk (talk | contribs)‎ . .

The source makes it clear that this section is being used to 'make a point' find a better source and move it to a different section.) (undo | thank) I have undone the removal of this information.

Disambiguation link notification for October 13

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited CAPRiM, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Economic League. 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.
