Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to violate Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy, as you did with this edit to James McMurdock, you may be blocked from editing. Porterjoh (talk) 21:22, 18 July 2024 (UTC)

Apologies if explanation for removal was added to the wrong place or not clear. Removed text was in line with professional legal advice - specifically Article 8 of the Human Rights Act / European Convention on Human Rights and the Rehabilitation of Offenders act 1974. Please remove all reference to the spent conviction. Publishing of the same was highly problematic under law as is reference to it here. 5.64.200.38 (talk) 21:29, 18 July 2024 (UTC)

Your recent edits could give Wikipedia contributors the impression that you may consider legal or other "off-wiki" action against them, or against Wikipedia itself. Please note that making such threats on Wikipedia is strictly prohibited under Wikipedia's policies on legal threats and civility. Users who make such threats may be blocked. If you have a dispute with the content of any page on Wikipedia, please follow the proper channels for dispute resolution. Please be sure to comment on content, not contributors, and where possible make specific suggestions for changes supported by reliable independent sources and focusing especially on verifiable errors of fact. Thank you. Tacyarg (talk) 21:33, 18 July 2024 (UTC)

This seems to be an unnecessarily complex way of resolving a simple matter. Please act in the best interest of all parties and revert back to my original edits. Best regards 5.64.200.38 (talk) 21:42, 18 July 2024 (UTC)

I would add that Wikipedia is governed by Florida law, not UK or European law. There may be a legitimate debate about whether we should refrain from mentioning spent convictions, but this could be a big step, needs discussion. I would add that a number of British newspapers have mentioned his conviction without facing legal action. PatGallacher (talk) 12:15, 19 July 2024 (UTC)

• disclose your conflict of interest when discussing affected articles (see Wikipedia:Conflict of interest § How to disclose a COI);
• avoid linking to your organization's website in other articles (see Wikipedia:Spam § External link spamming);
• do your best to comply with Wikipedia's content policies.
