User talk:Kellyormesher

Welcome!

Hello, Kellyormesher, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions.

I noticed that one of the first articles you edited appears to be dealing with a topic with which you may have a conflict of interest. In other words, you may find it difficult to write about that topic in a neutral and objective way, because you are, work for, or represent, the subject of that article. Your recent contributions may have already been undone for this very reason.

To reduce the chances of your contributions being undone, you might like to draft your revised article before submission, and then ask me or any other editor to proofread it. See our help page on userspace drafts for more details. If the page you created has already been deleted from Wikipedia, but you want to save the content from it to use for that draft, don't hesitate to ask anyone from this list and they will copy it to your user page.

One firm rule we do have in connection with conflicts of interest is that accounts used by more than one person will unfortunately be blocked from editing. Wikipedia generally does not allow editors to have usernames which imply that the account belongs to a company or corporation. If you have a username like this, you should request a change of username or create a new account. (A name that identifies the user as an individual within a given organization may be OK.)

Here are some pages that you might find helpful:

Tutorial
How to edit a page and How to develop articles
How to create your first article (using the Article Wizard if you wish)
Simplified Manual of Style

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your messages on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically insert your username and the date. If you need help, check out Wikipedia:Questions, ask me on my talk page, or ask your question on this page and then place {{Help me}} before the question. Again, welcome!

Reference Errors on 28 April

Hello, I'm ReferenceBot. I have automatically detected that an edit performed by you may have introduced errors in referencing. It is as follows:

On the UKFast page, your edit caused a missing references list (help | help with group references). (Fix | Ask for help)

Please check this page and fix the errors highlighted. If you think this is a false positive, you can report it to my operator. Thanks, ReferenceBot (talk) 00:30, 29 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

June 2014

Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. When you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion (but never when editing articles), please be sure to sign your posts. There are two ways to do this. Either:

Add four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment; or
With the cursor positioned at the end of your comment, click on the signature button ( or ) located above the edit window.

This will automatically insert a signature with your username or IP address and the time you posted the comment. This information is necessary to allow other editors to easily see who wrote what and when.

Thank you. Theroadislong (talk) 10:21, 24 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Your recent editing history at UKFast shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war. Being involved in an edit war can result in your being blocked from editing—especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring—even if you don't violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.

To avoid being blocked, instead of reverting please consider using the article's talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. See BRD for how this is done. You can post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.

I will hereafter use the talk page before making any fundamental copy edits. It seems that your definition of "promotional puffery" is different to mine; as a result, additions that I see as stylistic, such as adding "In previous years" to the beginning of a paragraph, have been deleted by yourself.

While a Wikipedia page should be objective and factual, I don't believe that encyclopaedias should, or indeed do, read as a list of facts. From your edits, it suggests that this is how you would like the UKFast page to read - an idea which I disagree with.

This is why the "editing war" has begun, and I hope that it can be brought to a close with some compromise from both parties. At my end, I will be posting all edits to the talk page before they are made, and making sure to reference every fact fully. At your end, I hope that you will be able to understand my view that a list of facts does not make for enjoyable, informative encyclopaedia reading, and that the odd stylistic paragraph opening does not indicate advertorial content.

proposing new edits on Lawrence_Jones_(businessman)

When proposing new edits on Lawrence_Jones_(businessman) it would be more helpful if, instead of recreating your preferred version of the whole article on the talk page you just did it sentence by sentence. Theroadislong (talk) 16:06, 27 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I was not aware that this would be required. As the page was essentially rewritten, it would probably be more laborious for editors to read sentence by sentence. As it stands, it would be helpful if you dealt with any further edits individually, rather than simply reverting my rewrite back to the old version of the page.

Please stop adding unsourced content, as you did to MANOC. This contravenes Wikipedia's policy on verifiability. If you continue to do so, you may be blocked from editing Wikipedia. Theroadislong (talk) 15:23, 24 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
