User talk:Charlesdrakew

Charlesdrakew I am most upset that you have changed everything I have done for the buses in little neston and neston I spent hours on that can you not remove it in future as I felt like I had done the people of neston a favour and seeing it down is making me feel that I have done something wrong the only reason I done it is that it hasn't been updated for 4 years and as you said wiki isn't a travel guide" check out Caldy and other places around the wirral as people have posted different information about transport and Wikipedia can be about anything that's why it was made so please don't change it as I haven't done anything to your work so don't do anything else to mine please Jw100

Unexplained reverts

Charles, I was surprised this morning to see that my contributions log shows that I reverted two of your minor edits on topics I know nothing about and would have no reason to look at, let alone revert. Please feel free to undo these changes; one appears to have occurred shortly after I quit editing last night, with the second occurring some 11 hours later, after I went to work. My best guess is that I have a security issue, which I will look into. I apologize for any inconvenience.

KSci (talk) 15:48, 3 October 2016 (UTC) Charles, I've reverted these changes myself, so you shouldn't need to do anything.

(talk page watcher) KSci, have you tried changing your password? Class455 (talk) 16:44, 3 October 2016 (UTC)

How strange. Perhaps the Russian government are now trying to destabilise Wikipedia by sowing dissention among us.(:Charles (talk) 16:52, 3 October 2016 (UTC)

Deleted Link

Hi,

I think it must be you that keeps deleting the link to my site : www.nottingham21.co.uk This is a private web site run as a hobby and has more that 3,600 photographs of Thew City of Nottingham. If you believe this is not an appropriate link, then please explain why. No other site has more indexed pictures of the city and I have been told by several institutions that it is a great resource for students. Please reply to nottingham21@btinternet.com. Regards, Ray. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 31.52.97.157 (talk) 23:34, 8 October 2016 (UTC)

And I will continue to delete it as is is contrary to WP policy on external links.Charles (talk) 09:41, 9 October 2016 (UTC)

And if Charles doesn't, I will. Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 09:34, 17 October 2016 (UTC)

BTW, I actually came here to thank you for reverting all the edits by IkbenFrank. Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 09:38, 17 October 2016 (UTC)

There is a long term, if low level, problem there.Charles (talk) 12:07, 17 October 2016 (UTC)

Hi,

I've amended the content and photos with data obtained from "Google Scholar" and reliable web source to clarify the detailed data about "decorticator"; once if anything unclear, please inform me. Thanks — Preceding unsigned comment added by 123Audrey (talk • contribs) 04:03, 18 January 2017 (UTC)

Worcester reverts

Hello Charles. I've added a note under your note on my talk page but I'm not sure whether it should go there or here - I'm very new to this as you can tell. Applechook (talk) 20:42, 18 October 2016 (UTC)

I've now restored the section that I edited to the version that existed before I made any edits.

Another editor has removed it all anyway. Independent sources would be needed to reference such material, rather than a spam reference to the organisation's own site.Charles (talk) 13:25, 19 October 2016 (UTC)

Yet again....

Hi there, I completely do not understand why you have reverted my edit on [[Lothian Buses] twice now, I have read the WP:NOTGUIDE page and my edit wasnt a guide, it was simply inputting more information in the sections where information lacked, for example, Before my edit the -Park and Ride- Section did not make sense stating Edinburgh has a network of existing and proposed park & ride sites.[63] Lothian buses call at some of these sites:" and then the section ends, how does this make sense? I simply put in more information and I do not understand why you think that it is a guide.

Thank you

I already explained that we do not include lists of routes in company articles. Any I see will be removed in line with policy. If you continue to edit war over it you will be blocked for disruptive editing.Charles (talk) 13:28, 23 October 2016 (UTC)

Buns and thanks

1959 is a long time ago. You can still get iced buns, but most buns are burger/hotdog buns or other types of bread buns that you slice in half and butter, etc. And iced buns are made with yeast, while muffins (not English muffins, American muffins) are a type of cake. So it wasn't just English-centric, it was wrong, at least in 2016! Doug Weller talk 11:37, 23 October 2016 (UTC)

Oh I love iced buns although they are not good for me.:)Charles (talk) 13:30, 23 October 2016 (UTC)

Chin up

Don't let the 'enthusiastic' people get you down, they're the sort of people who will just edit war until they get their own way. I've seen it a million times before on WP, it's what makes this place toxic. Jeni ^(talk) 21:13, 2 November 2016 (UTC)

Thank you for the kind words. There are bumps and potholes on the route to having fewer routes but the overall situation has vastly improved over the last few years. Keep up the good work.Charles (talk) 18:04, 4 November 2016 (UTC)

Woodham Ferrers

I do not understand your comment that the reference to my small edit to the Woodham Ferrers article was spam. Edwins Hall is a significant building in Woodham Ferrers which will, when I get around to it, have a Wikipedia entry. That this building was damaged as a result of wartime air activity which is already mentioned is, therefore, notable. The news article quoted itself appears well sourced and as such should be an acceptable source. Or have I misunderstood something? Shipsview (talk) 15:07, 24 November 2016 (UTC)

Can you not find a source which does not flash adverts at us? From the newspaper archives of the time perhaps. Please note that adding text with a citation is not a minor edit.Charles (talk) 17:25, 24 November 2016 (UTC)

Thank you for the advice about a minor edit. Disliking advertisements is not a valid reason for removing a citation - or the fact it supports. But you know that!! Shipsview (talk) 22:48, 24 November 2016 (UTC)

Cricket Bat

I'll find a citation for the new restrictions on bat sizes. The changes to the sections on brands and shapes are from personal experience making the said brands. I'm not sure how you would change them with any published press release but there are plenty of blatant brand claims on the page that don't back themselves up with one. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Christopher Keeley (talk • contribs) 18:37, 14 December 2016 (UTC)

Hi Christoper. I am afraid your personal experience will not do for Wikipedia. We require published sources. If there are other unverified claims on the page they should be removed. Please sign your talk page comments by typing four tildes (~).Charles (talk) 20:14, 14 December 2016 (UTC)
