Hello, I'm Struway2. I noticed that you recently removed some content from Birmingham City F.C. without explaining why. In the future, it would be helpful to others if you described your changes to Wikipedia with an accurate edit summary. If this was a mistake, don't worry; I restored the removed content. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks!

Norwich City F.C.

[1] and [2] both says the 6 players "are leaving in the summer, when their contracts run out". Nobody's contract runs out in May, they all last until 30 June, so that's when they'll actually leave the club. Joseph2302 (talk) 14:24, 28 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

ArbCom elections are now open!

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.

Adam Johnson

Hi why did you delete my post that he's currently a free agent? How else should I describe in the Infobox that he no longer has a club? I added that for clarity as it's not clear in his Infobox whether he plays or not at the moment. Huddsblue (talk) 00:51, 12 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Hello. Please do not remove information from an article without explaining why in an edit summary. Otherwise other editors might think you are vandalising the article. Thank you — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 15:30, 4 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I removed some of the more intricate details of Beeching's address because, as far as I was aware, Wikipedia didn't post full addresses. Also, I was clearing the infobox of a number of unused parameters. Samuel J Walker (talk) 15:34, 4 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I don't have a problem with removing unused parameters. However the place of death might be seen as relevant. An edit summary would help make your motives clear. — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 15:36, 4 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Secondly, regarding the Adam Johnson edit. The totalcaps parameter is usually reserved for retired players. I'd added it originally but decided to remove it because Johnson isn't retired (at least by choice) and it doesn't feature on Ched Evans' page either. Samuel J Walker (talk) 15:41, 4 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Okay, fair enough. But please use those edit summaries! Regards — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 23:18, 4 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Hi there! Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia.

When editing Wikipedia, there is a field labeled "Edit summary" below the main edit box. It looks like this:

Edit summary (Briefly describe your changes)

I noticed your recent edit to Derek Leckenby does not have an edit summary. Please be sure to provide a summary of every edit you make, even if you write only the briefest of summaries. The summaries are very helpful to people browsing an article's history.

Edit summary content is visible in:

Please use the edit summary to explain your reasoning for the edit, or a summary of what the edit changes. Edit summaries don't have to be detailed; for a list of commonly-used abbreviations, see Wikipedia:Edit summary legend/Quick reference. Miniapolis 15:27, 4 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

3rd opinion Gateshead

3rd opinion on Gateshead

Hello Samuel J Walker, I have asked for mediation on the Gateshead article. Also here is the talk url on the Gateshead talk page: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Gateshead#Gateshead_County_Borough_Citation 82.13.142.140 (talk) for your view 07:36, 30 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I think I went to the wrong place I should have gone here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Third_opinion I'll put that down to my lack of experience with the dispute resolution process. However I am always willing to compromise. How about this edit? 'Part of County Durham until 1835[1] when the town became a part of Gateshead County Borough,[1] part of Gateshead County Borough until 1974 when the town became part of Gateshead Metropolitan Borough;[1] Gateshead... and so on' I'd say that is neutral.Barkleave09 (talk) 08:53, 3 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Wimbledon

Hi. Could you give a rationale for this edit? Thanks in advance. --John (talk) 21:06, 1 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Until 1965 Wimbledon was in Surrey and not considered part of London. Samuel J Walker (talk) 21:09, 1 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks. Is there a consensus that this sort of edit is a good thing? --John (talk) 23:27, 1 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I don't know if there's a consensus on anything. I think it's probably fairly minor, though some people I've come across do appreciate these types of edits. For me personally, I have an interest in the historic counties so I try and correct any errors I come across, so I think it's probably an "as and when" thing rather than a consensus. Hope that helps. Samuel J Walker (talk) 23:38, 1 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

It's the sort of thing I have seen people get very upset over. It might be worth having a central discussion, or finding if one has already taken place. It shouldn't be marked as minor I think. --John (talk) 06:53, 2 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Formal mediation has been requested

The Mediation Committee has received a request for formal mediation of the dispute relating to "Gateshead". As an editor concerned in this dispute, you are invited to participate in the mediation. Mediation is a voluntary process which resolves a dispute over article content by facilitation, consensus-building, and compromise among the involved editors. After reviewing the request page, the formal mediation policy, and the guide to formal mediation, please indicate in the "party agreement" section whether you agree to participate. Because requests must be responded to by the Mediation Committee within seven days, please respond to the request by 9 December 2016.

Discussion relating to the mediation request is welcome at the case talk page. Thank you.

Placenames

I'm not that happy that you didn't reply to my last note above, but went straight to this. Can you have a think about what you are doing and get back to me please. --John (talk) 18:50, 2 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I didn't get back to your previous reply because I was at work. My point is highlighted here, most prominently in the "use modern names section". I point to this part of it: "Older names should be used in appropriate historical contexts when a substantial majority of reliable modern sources does the same; this includes the names of articles relating to particular historical periods". Between 1949 and 1990 there were two "Germanys", the FRG (West Germany) and GDR (East Germany), likewise with East and West Berlin. The reason I changed it was because at the time of Merkel's birth, Hamburg was in the FRG, which was West Germany. On a similar note, if you look at Vladimir Putin's page, the infobox there reads that he was born in Leningrad, Russian SFSR, Soviet Union, because that is what it was at the time of his birth. Samuel J Walker (talk) 19:10, 2 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for that, it makes sense. I recommend that you link to this guideline in your edit summary, and certainly do not mark such edits as minor. I am well aware of 20th-century European history and know that the names can change over time. I am also aware that here on Wikipedia making such changes can be controversial, as it can be in real life. Such changes can generate heat out of all proportion to their real utility to the encyclopedia, so you should be prepared to discuss such changes case-by-case if asked. Guidelines are not binding in this project and it is perfectly possible that local consensus may over-ride it on occasion. So long as you bear this in mind, use informative edit summaries and keep a sense of proportion about consistency, you should be fine. Thanks again, --John (talk) 20:05, 2 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Most of the time I do not mark edits like those as minor, this one must have slipped through the net. I am aware that making such edits can be hot topics and I usually leave edit summaries explaining my actions. What I sometimes do is leave the internal notes if there are quite a few edit wars over these issues (one such page is the Paul Hollywood page over the county of his birth), and most of the time these edits are made with minimum fuss. Thanks for the heads-up though, I'll bear it in mind. Samuel J Walker (talk) 20:12, 2 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Request for mediation rejected

The request for formal mediation concerning Gateshead, to which you were listed as a party, has been declined. To read an explanation by the Mediation Committee for the rejection of this request, see the mediation request page, which will be deleted by an administrator after a reasonable time. Please direct questions relating to this request to the Chairman of the Committee, or to the mailing list. For more information on forms of dispute resolution, other than formal mediation, that are available, see Wikipedia:Dispute resolution.

I'm not at all sure I get the logic for changing the county in which Asquith died to Berkshire. He died in Sutton Courtenay, a town now in Oxfordshire. If I want to find his grave, that's the county I go to. I think it's just plain confusing to use the old county boundary. I've reverted your edit. If you want to put Berkshire back, could you discuss on the article Talkpage. Regards. KJP1 (talk) 00:30, 22 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Timestamp

Hi.

When you update statistics please remember that you should also update the timestamps as of when the stats are correct. This is done by manually updating the date above or below the statistics table. By doing this we show when the stats were last updated and it prevents other editors from accidentally updating the stats again.

Please keep this in mind. Thank you. Qed237 (talk) 15:02, 15 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Samuel. You made a revert here with the edit summary "Edited for consistency. Most other articles are laid out in this way." I wonder do you mean "all UK bio articles", or possibly "all UK bio articles where the individual was born in Wales", or possibly "all UK bio articles where the individual was born and died in two different countries", or possibly something else? I'd also be interested to see your supporting evidence. I tried to ask in my edit summary if there was any WP:MoS policy on this. I'm now guessing, from your edit summary, that you are suggesting there is not. Many thanks. Martinevans123 (talk) 17:17, 15 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, thanks for your reply. Interestingly, the VHS I was referring to is dated 1984 (the edition can be seen here: http://www.videocollector.co.uk/fawlty-towers---basil-the-rat/29477).

Infobox timestamps

Hello, I'm Mattythewhite. Welcome to Wikipedia! I just wanted to let you know that one or more of your recent contributions were not quite right. When updating statistics within the infobox of a footballer, please make sure you update the timestamp at the same time, so that both readers and fellow editors know when the information was last updated.

You can do this by replacing the existing timestamp within the |club-update= or |pcupdate= parameter for club stats, or the |nationalteam-update= or |ntupdate= parameter for international stats. For articles that use a DMY date format, use five tildes (~~~~~), or for MDY dates, use {{subst:mdytime}}. This will generate the specific time the update was made.

If you have any questions about this, feel free to leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you, Mattythewhite (talk) 22:04, 12 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

If you are engaged in an article content dispute with another editor, please discuss the matter with the editor at their talk page, or the article's talk page, and seek consensus with them. Alternatively, you can read Wikipedia's dispute resolution page, and ask for independent help at one of the relevant noticeboards.
If you are engaged in any other form of dispute that is not covered on the dispute resolution page, please seek assistance at Wikipedia's Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents.

User page disruption

Hello, Samuel,

I have blocked the editor who moved around your User page. It's not the first time they've done this with other editors' User pages. I hope everything is restored on your page. Let me know if this happens again. Thank you. Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 22:07, 2 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Joyce Grenfell

Good afternoon! I'm not for one instant objecting to your change to the info-box chez Grenfell, but I wonder why you made it? Is the "|1979|end=her death" form now disapproved of? Just looking to add to my knowledge of WP practice. Best wishes, Tim riley talk 16:35, 12 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

From your talkpage it's obvious, you are a source of pointless edits

In June 2020, you thought fit to leave a citation request on the Pulsar Watch article, in November 2022 I added a source. Do you know how long it took me to find one, about 10 seconds!! Seriously how useless are you? 150.143.66.129 (talk) 21:51, 21 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Special bank holidays in 2022 and 2023 in the United Kingdom

Hi,

on 23rd of January you reverted an addition of special bank holidays in the United Kingdom, with the change note that they were special holidays and not changes to existing ones.

But all other holidays listed there, were special holidays too, not changes to existing ones. After all, the category is called "Special holidays", wherefore I believe, that special holidays actually belong there. Could you please explain your revert more or add these additions back. Thank you. 2A05:FB81:114:3100:2027:7104:24FC:CC6B (talk) 20:21, 9 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

A Fawlty collaboration?

Hi Samuel, I have noticed your edits to British comedy-related articles and of your recent edit to the "Waldorf Salad" episode article of Fawlty Towers. Myself and the user Rillington have plans to reinstate the remaining Fawlty Towers episode articles in the near future, so I was wondering whether you might consider helping us with reinstating these articles (they are currently redirects). We have not started this collaboration yet, so, if you would like to help, I will ping you on your talk page when we are ready to begin. Please let me know what you think. Kind regards, Lotsw73 (talk) 13:44, 30 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
