Hello, I'm I dream of horses. I noticed that you recently removed some content from Simon Stevens (civil servant) with this edit, without explaining why. In the future, it would be helpful to others if you described your changes to Wikipedia with an edit summary. If this was a mistake, don't worry, the removed content has been restored. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks.

Welcome to Wikipedia. I noticed that your username, "NHSHistory", may not meet Wikipedia's username policy because it implies an official account of the NHS or its public relations department. If you believe that your username does not violate our policy, please leave a note here explaining why. As an alternative, you may ask for a change of username by completing the form at Special:GlobalRenameRequest, or you may simply create a new account for editing. Thank you. — kashmīrī ^TALK 14:29, 9 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Reply: Hi Kashmiri thanks - happy to clarify in future naming that this is "amateur" (though hopefully accurate) as against "official" NHS History! — Preceding unsigned comment added by NHSHistory (talk • contribs)

Welcome! The Wikipedia articles about the NHS as an organization are not in great shape, so I'm glad you have an interest in improving them.

If you wanted to prevent future concerns, you could ask them to rename your account to something more obviously unofficial, like "NHSHistoryFan". You could also create a user page (click that red link near the logo), and include a note there to say that you are a volunteer with an interest in the NHS, not an official account.
