Life After Death edits
Your addition is still not supported by the reference you added, which is not a reliable source to begin with (sites with user-generated content, WP:RS). This part is original research and is not verifiable: "becoming just the 8th album in the magazine's 9 year history to be awarded the maximum rating. At the time, other reviewers questioned whether the score was influenced by his recent passing, noting that the album was not as strong as his debut". As for the rating, I looked it up and found reliable sources elsewhere such as the CD's product page at CD Universe (CD notes/review snippets published by Muze), this WordPress blog which shows images of the original print review, or this list at the Source's own website. I didn't single you out, but whatever unsourced addition or other unconstructive is made to the article is not needed since, as you pointed out, there are numerous issues with it. However, those issues were there before I started taking a look at the article. The links from the previous templated comments I left had links to policy and guideline pages about verifiability and reliable sources that you should check out so this does not happen again. I'll remove the unsourced part and replace the citation to your edit. Dan56 (talk) 13:47, 14 October 2011 (UTC)
Edit summaries
Hi there. When editing an article on Wikipedia there is a small field labeled "Edit summary" under the main edit-box. It looks like this:
The text written here will appear on the Recent changes page, in the page revision history, on the diff page, and in the watchlists of users who are watching that article. See m:Help:Edit summary for full information on this feature.
Filling in the edit summary field greatly helps your fellow contributors in understanding what you changed, so please always fill in the edit summary field. If you are adding a section, please do not just keep the previous section's header in the Edit summary field – please fill in your new section's name instead. Thank you.
Though I do not believe you are guilty of any malfeasance, a failure to supply an edit summary is often a feature of vandalism and many editors will revert an edit without a summary without bothering to check whether the edit was, in fact, a good faith edit. 86.144.90.137 (talk) 15:38, 13 September 2012 (UTC)

The deleted version was unreferenced and promotional in tone, and didn't make it clear why it satisfied the notability guidelines. If you can address those problems, that's fine. Good luck Jimfbleak - talk to me? 06:11, 26 February 2013 (UTC)

Hello, I'm BracketBot. I have automatically detected that your edit to Ian Botham may have broken the syntax by modifying 2 "[]"s and 2 "{}"s likely mistaking one for another. If you have, don't worry, just edit the page again to fix it. If I misunderstood what happened, or if you have any questions, you can leave a message on my operator's talk page.

Hi Rayman,
thanks for your reply, It is a shame that one of the most decorated writers in the UK would have problems having to verify something that could be done with a simple google search, i don't even know how to link the sources to each other however someone connects the song titles to Wayne as he did actually write all of the songs mentioned. just to confirm the one direction song does mention Wayne please see link https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Best_Song_Ever_%28song%29 i see no difference between Wayne's page and another writer for example The Dream https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The-Dream_discography please could you elaborate on why his discography should be deleted and not the dreams? http://www.allmusic.com/artist/wayne-hector-mn0000245410/credits would this count as an verifiable source?
