Hello, I'm M.Bitton. I noticed that you added or changed content in an article, Novara Media, but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so. You can have a look at the tutorial on citing sources. If you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. M.Bitton (talk) 12:22, 25 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Please do not add or change content, as you did at Novara Media, without citing a reliable source. Please review the guidelines at Wikipedia:Citing sources and take this opportunity to add references to the article. Thank you. M.Bitton (talk) 12:25, 25 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, Novara Media is an openly Marxist group. They make no secret of this and describe themselves with terms such as, "Luxury COMMUNISM" and ,"Fully automated COMMUNISM." If Communism is not far-left, then what is? My first edit is covered by citation 3 and my second edit is entirely backed up in the subsequent text. That being the case, you are not justified in altering my, entirely accurate edits, which are done to give a more accurate description of Novara Media. I hope this explains my edits.

What you're doing is called WP:OR. Like I explained previously, you cannot add or change content without citing a reliable source. M.Bitton (talk) 12:46, 25 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

That being the case, why have you edited my changes without providing a citation or reference? Please provide some sources to justify the description of Novara Media as "left-wing." Would you describe Karl Marx as left-wing or far-left? Equally, would you describe the BNP as right-wing or far-right? I will edit this article again in due course, and provide further references in order that you will have no pretext, maliciously to vandalise my edits. Did you read my previous reply? My first edit had the reference [6] in which a New Statesman article is cited, using the phrase ,"Luxury Communism now!" You have not had the courtesy to address the explanation I gave you, because you have no answer to it, and your re-edits are malicious. Edward Eyre (talk) 13:10, 25 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I didn't edit you unsourced changes, I reverted them to what the sources say. The "left-wing" part is already sourced. M.Bitton (talk) 13:26, 25 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not sure what you're motivation is here, but I shall asume that you are acting in good faith... I have quoted you the source [_3] which is already present in the article,at the end of the first sentence. (I mistakenly gave this as [6] in my previous message, for which I apologise). This establishes that Novara Media is a Communist sympathising organization. Therefore it is far-left. Would you like me to cite the Wikepedia article on the definition of far-left? Would that be sufficient for you? Ash Sarkar, a senior editor at N.Media famously stated,"I'm literally a Communist, you idiot" on Good Morning Britain. The change I made was a minor edit, intended more accurately to describe this organization. It is already justified by the text of the existing article and by references already present. However,when I edit it again, I will cite the Wikepedia definition of far-left and I trust you will then leave the edit in place. Edward Eyre (talk) 13:56, 25 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I note that, assume, is spelt incorrectly in my last message - a typing error. Edward Eyre (talk) 14:00, 25 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hello. Your recent edit to George Heriot's School appears to have added the name of a non-notable entity to a list that normally includes only notable entries. In general, a person, organization or product added to a list should have a pre-existing article before being added to most lists. If you wish to create such an article, please first confirm that the subject qualifies for a separate, stand-alone article according to Wikipedia's notability guideline. There is no article or reference for Charles McCorquodale. Tacyarg (talk) 19:36, 9 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Charles McCorquodale - Art Historian.

Kindly do not remove Charles McCorquodale from the Herriot's alumni list again. If you take the trouble to google Charles McCorquodale, you will find he was one of the most eminent Art historians of his generation. He published numerous books and articles and had obituaries in The Times, The Daily Telegraph, The Guardian, The Independent and the Scotsman. You are welcome to cite these yourself.

Hi there, the issue is not the notability of McCorquodale - it is that there is no article on him on Wikipedia. The usual route is to write the article first - it sounds as if you will have no difficulty finding sources. Please see this essay, which may help: WP:WTAF.
