[edit]Hello, I'm AgisdeSparte. Wikipedia is written by people who have a wide diversity of opinions, but we try hard to make sure articles have a neutral point of view. Your recent edit to Murder of Muriel McKay seemed less than neutral to me, so I removed it for now. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. AgisdeSparte (talk) 17:30, 15 December 2023 (UTC)
- Hello, whilst the amendments are published by a member of Muriel's immediate family, we do not believe it is less than neutral.
- We would appreciate if you could please re-publish the post or advise us how we can make it seem more "neutral"
- Many thanks McKay23 (talk) 17:46, 15 December 2023 (UTC)
- At a minimum, the added content needs to come with reliable sources, so that a reader can follow a path to be convinced that the material is correct. Secondary sources also help establish that the information is notable. signed, Willondon (talk) 18:41, 15 December 2023 (UTC)
Unsupported content
[edit]Hello, removed your addition to the Muriel McKay page, please refrain from adding unnecessary information and information not sourced to a reputable publication, “from family” doesn’t make information relevant or factual, thank you. Conway jon (talk) 18:39, 19 December 2023 (UTC)
- Please refrain from editing the page with unnecessary information, not all information = noteworthy Conway jon (talk) 19:45, 20 December 2023 (UTC)

Minor edits
[edit]I noticed that you have marked almost all of your edits as minor. "Minor edit" has a very specific definition on Wikipedia. It refers only to superficial edits that could never be the subject of a dispute, such as typo corrections. Any edit that changes the meaning of an article is not a minor edit, even if it only concerns a single word. Thank you. signed, Willondon (talk) 11:44, 1 August 2024 (UTC)
