Whitwick

Can I ask why you have tried to remove my edits for Whitwick which are factual and referenced? They have nothing to do with Airports or Dorking. What Gives.Constantíne-Con (talk) 22:26, 17 February 2021 (UTC) Constantine-Con.

Constantíne-Con Please use an article's talk page for discussing edits on an article. What is the relevance of airports and Dorking? WP:BRD may help you avoid edit warring.SovalValtos (talk) 12:21, 18 February 2021 (UTC)

I'm using your talk page as your the one vandalizing my work and I'm talking to you, not the page. If I ever vandalize your work you are free to contact me directly.(Constantine-Con) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.3.111.179 (talk) 13:04, 18 February 2021 (UTC)

Preseli Hills

Friendly greetings, any edit which improves the article has my full support and I don't do edit wars! It's past my bedtime so I've omitted internal links. However I think its a typo or spell check error. I'm been watching the BBC iPlayer video which describes hints of cooperation between Neolithic farmers 5000 years ago. [1] It makes no reference to intestines or any other body parts!! However internecine feuds would have been quite likely particularly as massive flooding would have occurred due to the collapse of the ice shelf in Doggerland.

(talk page stalker) JRPG see Talk:Preseli_Hills#Intestine_war for discussion on this. The quote containing the obsolete "intestine war" came from a publication from the 1840s. I annotated the quote "sic" and added the ref provided by SovalValtos. Regards, Tony Holkham (Talk) 22:51, 20 February 2021 (UTC)

rossall school

Hi, I edited the rossall school article earlier today, why did you delete some of the additions? I think they were written in a very neutral way, not representing the schools opinions.... KFW142 (talk) 22:49, 12 March 2021 (UTC)

KFW142 Please use an article's talk page for discussing edits on an article. Meanwhile see WP:V, see my edit summary saying 'Please providing reliable independent sources' and WP:BOOSTER. Do you have any personal connection with the school which has helped with the content you have added? Best wishes.SovalValtos (talk) 23:02, 12 March 2021 (UTC)

But what about by edits does not work with WP:BOOSTER? And I provided sources, right? To answer your question: no, I got the information from there website. KFW142 (talk) 23:26, 12 March 2021 (UTC)

Marlborough

Yes, Just created an account to upload information about our volunteer organisation but unfortunately this 'SovalValtos' bot or person decided that we were contravening Wikipedia rules by 'advertising' or 'promoting' our site. We aren't commercial (unlike other entries listed on the 'Marlborough' page but allowed to continue unchecked). We are volunteer, we don't take anything out, rather what is left over after site maintenance costs goes back to local organisations as charitable donations. But obviously this conflicts with Wikipedia, the hypocrisy is present for all to see by examining other entries. So, I've requested that my account be deleted and will stop using Wikipedia. And certainly won't respond to any more of Jimmy Wales requests for funding, as I have done on numerous occasions previously. This 'SovalValtos' even deleted the entry put in, leaving the (dead) link above - which was an overt commercial listing and had probably been there for years, as it ceased trading some while back. We, at Marlborough.news have prospered well without any wikipedia listing for a decade so I'm sure that the slight intrusion of Wiki-Hypocrisy won't make much of a dent, if anything other than a reduction in their donations received.

You - 'SovalValtos' - accuse me of 'vandalising' your work: "I'm using your talk page as your the one vandalizing my work and I'm talking to you, not the page. If I ever vandalize your work you are free to contact me directly." I'd be happy to contact you directly, but how? No idea or means. Don't even know if 'SovalValtos' is human or bot. But, irrespective of who/what SovalValtos is, if making a decision to delete a genuine entry that DOES NOT in any way contradict or infringe Wikipedia 'rules', you should actually do some research into what you are making decisions about. So an uninformed decision, and a hypocritical decision (just check out the entry that is now a 'dead' link but was immediately above the entry added, which was a commercial link). Also, Wikipedia has plenty of entries for other media organisations: Is The Guardian a commercial organisation? It has a Wikipedia entry. And many, many more. Who/whatever 'SovalValtos' is has acted in an overtly hypocritical manner, then made an inflammatory accusation that I am 'vandalising' their work by raising questions, whilst suggesting that I contact them directly but not disclosing such means. Guess that their spelling of 'vandalise' and use of grammar such as 'your' rather than 'you're' (i.e. American) indicates a bot rather than human. I've used Wikipedia (and admired it) from the perspective of user since it was formed. Many, many years. But this - today - was the first time I'd ever created an account. Well aware of the supposed rules re. advertising and promotion - no lines here were crossed. But 'SovalValtos' thought otherwise, without reference or check - a purely hypocritical and ill-advised act. Well well well, 'SovalValtos' has deleted my account, guess something was done correctly.

SovalVoltas is not a bot but is an excellent Wikipedian. Apart from your obvious conflict of interested Wikipedia does not accept that type of external link. Nothing personal, just a general rule.Charles (talk) 20:59, 3 April 2021 (UTC)

But my link was to the homepage of a news site - nothing commercial or advertising about that, unless you regard The Guardian and all the other sites of News Media featured and displayed in Wikipedia as not being commercial. Oh sorry, they pay staff - we don't. We just make charitable donations to local worthy causes in the town such as prensioner groups (that get their grant cut by the local authority) youth and sports groups (that offer kids something different to drugs, booze and hanging around). Of course, all that is COMMERCIAL, sorry, should have realised....!!!!! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Neil Goodwin (talk • contribs) 22:46, 3 April 2021 (UTC)

The only place an external link to the Guardian website would be allowed is on the page about that organisation. This is nothing to do with commercial or otherwise. You can read more at WP:External links.Charles (talk) 08:15, 4 April 2021 (UTC)

'SovalValtos' has added to our communication, but I have no idea as to what this bot/person actually means or is attempting to communicate. My response is quite clear: I'm none the wiser as to what this means. Let's keep us off the Marlborough Wikipedia page, I don't want us to be in any way connected to the 'marlborough-townsite.co.uk', which is the line above, while it did lead to a (now dead) very commercial Marlborough site that charged for every entry. We are quite different and our mission is to promote the town at no cost to any of our editorial or news entries, although we do take advertising revenue which covers the cost of keeping the site going whilst also giving back funds to the community to groups that genuinely need funding. This includes local sports clubs as well who perform a valuable function across the community. Most donations/grants we give we never publicise, that's not how we work. but Wikipedia still regard us as demanding a listing for 'advertising' and 'promotion' whilst ignoring every other site/medium that actually does. WikiHypocrisy in extremis......... "Wikipocrisy" - sounds better! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2A00:23C8:2609:BC01:51AC:247D:9F31:EEB2 (talk) 10:21, 4 April 2021 (UTC)

User:SeanM1997

User:SeanM1997 (talk) 10:32, 9 April 2021 (UTC) 'SovalValtos' keeps deleting correctly sourced information from reliable sources on every edit I do. This is uncalled for vandalism. If there is a source which states a start date, which mine does, then just because its a future event, it is allowed on airlines & destinations as per the wikipedia edit rules and is on sale.

User:SeanM1997 Please sign your posts on talk pages with ~~~~. What are the 'wikipedia edit rules' you are referring to that allow your edits? Please could you link the policies and guidelines you have in mind. It seems that you disagree with the policy WP:NOT in particular WP:CRYSTAL. If so try to make a change to the policy rather than go against. I do not delete your 'correctly sourced information from reliable sources on every edit I do', nor are my edits vandalism. Please see WP:BRD.SovalValtos (talk) 15:32, 9 April 2021 (UTC)
