ANI

Hi Charles, As you had some issues with "Notforlackofeffort", I thought I should let you know there's now a thread at ANI - Wikipedia:Administrator's noticeboard/Incidents#User:Notforlackofeffort,
Since I've mentioned your name there I thought It was best I should let you know,
Cheers, –Davey2010 ^{Merry Xmas / Happy New Year} 23:44, 28 December 2014 (UTC)

I think that editor has dug themselves a deep enough hole to be melting into the Earth's core without need for me to add to a very long thread. If only some of this effort was put into improving Wikipedia. Have a happy new year.Charles (talk) 11:38, 29 December 2014 (UTC)

I absolutely agree his efforts could go be better improved elsewhere but there ya go, Thanks and I wish you a very Happy New Year :), –Davey2010 ^{Merry Xmas / Happy New Year} 16:01, 29 December 2014 (UTC)

Please advise

You have warned a dynamic-IP editor about edit-warring. I fear that my attempts to discourage that editor's repeated editing on Vatican City (which I see as vandalism, because of insistently violating MOS:JOBTITLES) are opening me too to a charge of edit-warring. Esoglou (talk) 21:31, 31 December 2014 (UTC)

They have been warned. I have reverted again and given a final warning for disruptive editing.Charles (talk) 23:30, 31 December 2014 (UTC)

In spite of my invitation to IP 86... to discuss matters on my talk page, and in spite of your further warning, the editor has again reverted on Vatican City. I have made bold to again undo this. Esoglou (talk) 07:58, 2 January 2015 (UTC)

I have put in a report at the edit warring noticeboard, which is a fair amount of work. What is it with some people that they cannot discuss a problem?Charles (talk) 10:02, 2 January 2015 (UTC)

Thank you. I should have done it myself, but imagined (I must have dreamt it) that some of the edits came from elsewhere within the IP 86... range and with slight geographical variations, making it more complicated to report. So I apologize. Esoglou (talk) 12:21, 5 January 2015 (UTC)

Heart Kent

I do not have the skills to deal further with the addition of unsourced material about presenters. The IP editor or editors replaces material without a summary. I tried to explain in edit summaries and also on talk. Yours SovalValtos (talk) 13:41, 4 January 2015 (UTC)

Urrh! The whole long article has only four cites and one of them is a dead link. Most of the linked presenter biographies seem to be as bad and there are higher standards for BLPs. What a pile of cruft. It is up to editors adding facts to provide reliable sources so you would be quite justified in just deleting all the unsourced parts and warning anyone who puts it back without sources.Charles (talk) 18:43, 4 January 2015 (UTC)

Thank you for that. I do not have the confidence or skills to deal with this sort of situation. In particular warning editors. The series of IPs seem to work in a remarkably similar way and do not use edit summary. Would you be prepared to do it please? SovalValtos (talk) 18:53, 4 January 2015 (UTC)

Sock puppetry? Page protection may be needed. I am a bit knackered this evening but I will give it a go later.Charles (talk) 19:01, 4 January 2015 (UTC)

Thank you. No hurry, this has been going on for a while. I did not want to be accused of an edit war.SovalValtos (talk) 19:07, 4 January 2015 (UTC)

It is always easier with some support. I want to finally finish reading Hilary Mantel's Wolf Hall too before it is dramatised on television.Charles (talk) 20:50, 4 January 2015 (UTC)

The newest IP is doing the same at Heart (radio network), concentrating on the same un-notable.SovalValtos (talk) 15:16, 31 January 2015 (UTC)

Adoption Request

Hi there - I am looking for an experienced user to 'adopt' me. I have been trying to edit some pages related to my community but despite my best efforts to keep both sides of view within the article it seems certain people are intent on keeping it slanted to their own view. I would like some help on citations, vandalism and editing protected and semi-protected pages. Hope you can help me out. Noughtnotout (talk) 12:01, 11 January 2015 (UTC)

I will be pleased to help. You seem to be doing well enough for a beginner. Just be sure to have reliable published sources for any new material. Your copy editing looks useful. Good luck.Charles (talk) 15:28, 11 January 2015 (UTC)

Bo-Xilai and Chongqing page

Hi Charles,

Thanks for the advice. We will not add any reference link to the said pages then.

How can we remove out-dated links on the Chongqing page? The two scmp.com links at the reference section already out-dated. please remove.
