Welcome!

Hello, Ianswingland, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Here are a few links to pages you might find helpful:

You may also want to complete the Wikipedia Adventure, an interactive tour that will help you learn the basics of editing Wikipedia. You can visit the Teahouse to ask questions or seek help.

Please remember to sign your messages on talk pages by typing four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically insert your username and the date.

Time to start talking?

With regards to Ian Swingland, which you clearly have an interest in since you are (I presume) Ian Swingland: you need to be aware of various policies we have here. The most obvious of these is WP:COI. From which I quote: This page in a nutshell: Do not edit Wikipedia in your own interests or in the interests of your external relationships. That doesn't quite mean "do not edit your own wiki page" (there's a subtle distinction there) but in your case it might as well say so. The second that you'll be interested in is WP:BLP, which says This page in a nutshell: Material about living persons added to any Wikipedia page must be written with the greatest care and attention to verifiability, neutrality, and avoidance of original research.

In this case the material to which you object ([1]) appears to be verifiable, neutral and without OR. If you dispute that, please say (either here, or on the article talk page) what you find objectionable.

Another place to discuss such matters is Wikipedia:Biographies_of_living_persons/Noticeboard#Ian_Swingland; I've raised the issue there William M. Connolley (talk) 14:40, 15 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

And was acquitted of the principal cheat count?

Hi. You recently added "and was acquitted of the principal cheat count" [2]. I don't see a source for that. Do you have one? For the moment, I've reverted that text, because it appeared to be sourceless. But if you assure us that it is true, it could go back with a {{cn}} tag. Do you perhaps have a scan of the appropriate summary court documents available? William M. Connolley (talk) 15:42, 21 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Mr. Connolley. I refer you to http://www.carmelitechambers.co.uk/members/jonathan-lennon 6th paragraph. The reference [13] needs replacing as it gives further information about what happened and why.

I'm not sure what you mean re ref [13]; I preserved your added ref. As to http://www.carmelitechambers.co.uk/members/jonathan-lennon, OK, I'll add it with text. It isn't a good ref though: your own lawyer is not exactly an impartial source, and the language is weaselly. Is there some reason why there is no official record? William M. Connolley (talk) 07:16, 22 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Mr Connolley. IN CONFIDENCE

I have just been informed that any mention of the trial is a breach of the Order and is therefore potentially a contempt of court. I want my entire entry deleted, as I requested in the first place, otherwise Wikipedia is putting me in severe danger and possible legal action against me and you.

Original Message ------

From: "Jonathan Lennon" To: "Ian Swingland" <ianswingland@gmail.com> Cc: "Cairns Nelson" Sent: 10/08/2018 09:12:51 Subject: Ian Swingland website entry

Ian/ Cairns,

I am in a case at Southwark again. Being prosecuted by Julian Christopher QC again. This week he spoke to me about my Chambers website – he was passing on a request from HMRC. The Rozzers seem to think my Chambers website on your case entry might have offended the reporting restrictions currently in place – because the tax evasion trial is yet to happen. I really don’t think it does but they said that your (Ian’s) Wikipedia page I think (how ironic) also referred to it and is in breach of the Order and is therefore potentially a contempt of court punishable by death. I promised I would get my website changed and would pass on the concerns. I have just this morning sent the below message to my Chambers which completely removes any reference to Amazon or your name and can’t possibly offend anyone. I haven’t seen your web entry but I would suggest you remove yours completely ASAP as it obviously identifies you and someone at HMRC is upset by it and will check it! Once the tax trial is over you can write whatever you want (so long as it doesn’t incite or encourage violence against Customs Officers!).

I have cc’d Cairns into this just to advise him and also to say hello – hello Cairns!

Hope you are both having a good summer,

Best

J
