Regardless of the reliability of CCR, per your talk regarding the article on Rafael Moure-Eraso, the cited article is an unsigned opinion piece. As mentioned in my edit notes, the opinion was rendered prior to the hearing and well before the resulting letter. There are a number of factual errors in the CCR piece regarding the Safety Case and PSM which call into question the conclusions drawn and make it a highly questionable source for this topic.

Stanbridge Earls edit

Hi Keri,

Just have a quick question with regards to the edits with regards to Stanbridge Earls school

1) How do I make the proper reference to links and articles like you did. When ref to link I do not seem to get the time stamp like yours.

2) I removed the part about the accusation with regard to the 12 years old as I could not find any reference to it in the news articles linked and neither did the Tribunal mention any other girls either.

3) I removed the section with regard to operation Flamborough as I thought this was now superseded with the conclusion by the CPS and the police investigation. I refer here to this article http://www.dailyecho.co.uk/news/11189307.No_charges_after_allegations_of_sex_abuse_at_school/ which states at the bottom that "Operation Flamborough is now complete"

Keen on your view about these edits

Hi @Weathergo:. There's a great page at Wikipedia:Citation templates which shows the different types of templates you can use for creating citations, be they books, newspapers, websites etc. Very handy. With regards to the article, it probably needs a thorough pruning and reorg now that the dust has settled. I'll take a look after dinner and get back to you with some thoughts.

How to make progress after a receiving a stop sign for warlike activity.

Hi Keri, thank you for the stop sign. I had just logged in with the intention of 'removing' the edit in question, having started to feel 'contrite' about it. In a nutshell, it was a quick reaction for having been given a full block this morning after posting a similar addition last night. The editor that blocked me is from a country that seems to have people who react hostilely to the subject matter. An editor (maybe the same one) had previously removed my addition without giving any feedback, and I tried to improve it from experience I was having with a different edit. However, I am finding that after giving criticism from a few editors, I still get criticized/blocked after making suggested improvements. Most do not engage in dialog. Therefore, I would like to work on the BBC Panorama edit now and to ask you if you can see any way that I may post improve it, and include it again without the likelihood of people deleting it / blocking me again. I hope you have the time to read it (pasted below.) Gerrytlloyd (talk) 19:45, 24 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

@Gerrytlloyd: With the additions to the Panorama article, you must restrict yourself to media coverage of the episode and critical responses to the episode. You mustn't use the article as a coatrack: an "article that ostensibly discusses its nominal subject, but has been edited to make a point about one or more tangential subjects." It's debatable if this is even a notable episode. South Africa's National Prosecuting Authority suggesting that "it could prove an obstacle to justice if Dewani was put on trial" is just about the only notable aspect of the episode. Keri (talk) 20:33, 24 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
@Keri: I see what you mean. Can you recommend an article that would be appropriate? It is the closed-book quality of the legal system that worries me in the South African context: There is an unworkable mixture of apartheid-derived trial procedure with western plea bargain ideas that proved very damaging for Shrien Dewani. I tried to constrict my description maximally but it still 'bulges' in the Articles have tried to edit (Jury, Jury trial, Right to a fair trial.)
@Gerrytlloyd: You might try asking at The Teahouse. There are usually a number of knowledgable types lurking in there who may be able to point you in the right direction. I've mulled it over and have to admit I'm not quite sure how I would go about tackling this subject, either as a stand alone topic or as an addition to an existing page (eg Courts of South Africa). There is certainly plenty of source material (eg here in The Guardian, here on the BBC). Perhaps someone more creative than I at The Teahouse will be able to offer you more constructive advice.

Edit War? Don Lane (Santa Cruz) Un-Negotiated??--Not True!

My main revision (+812) was negotiated on October 15 2014 under my previous IP Address: 67.180.161.221 with a representative of Don Lane.

Please revert to the most recent revision done by me.

Who are you to play Edit Police especially when you haven't done your homework?

Don Lane, himself, refers to this episode in a recent local piece: http://www.gtweekly.com/index.php/santa-cruz-news/santa-cruz-local-news/6203-on-his-terms.html

So, this is direct evidence that he wishes the information to stay current while trying to manage it to his liking. The Man of Heart (talk) 13:42, 24 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

@The Man of Heart: Edits to Wikipedia are not "negotiated" with representatives of anybody - they either follow Wikipedia's policies or they don't fly. Take the dispute to the proper venue - Talk:Don Lane (Santa Cruz). Keri (talk) 13:47, 24 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

This is a false allegation

Sorry. Since you have read and monitored all my correspondence, you know that I have denied that I am one of the recipients of the Obscene Valentine's Card as seen here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Donner60#Thanks_for_your_help_with_Don_Lane_.28Santa_Cruz.29 It is the "Rep" of Don Lane (Santa Cruz) who is assuming this. It is patently untrue.The Man of Heart (talk) 20:36, 24 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]
