Hello, I'm Doniago. I noticed that you added or changed content in an article, Tay Bridge disaster, but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so. You can have a look at the tutorial on citing sources, or if you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Please also see WP:IPCV. When writing about 'in popular culture' items, third-party sources are needed to demonstrate that the item is considered signifcant. Thanks! DonIago (talk) 04:24, 20 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

20/02/2020 Hello Doniago, Thanks for your message regarding my edit of the Tay Bridge Disaster. Unfortunately, you removed one other contribution at the same time as you removed mine. My original edit restored the previous contributor and quoted sources for both, being the ISBN and the Publisher. Is that not source enough? And how can you possibly judge that the work by A J Cronin (which I have also read) is MORE significant than either of the other works which you removed? I believe your removal of this content is definitely not in the spirit of Wikipedia which is to enhance the reader experience. Both contributions are proven by reliable sources. In my opinion the Sue Lawrence book is as good as the AJ Cronin book in regards to the relevance to, and interest in the Tay Bridge Disaster. Why does the movie of Hatters Castle which has no quoted sources, remain in the article. I have not seen the movie, so I feel free not to comment on it. Lastly I quote "https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Editing_policy Improve pages wherever you can, and do not worry about leaving them imperfect. ·Preserve the value that others add, ...".

{{Help me}} 21/02/2020 Hello Shiftchange, I wish to restore my edits as shown by the exchange with Doniago above. However this has happened at least 3 times, and I do not want to get into a restore/reverted exchange. This is not in the Wikipedia interests. Can you look at this and let me know what I need to do. I believe the actions of Donagio to be unreasonable. Thank you. Kimballthurlow (talk) 22:03, 20 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
