Cirencester

Hello, please can you restore the content I added to Cirencester? You appear to be mistaken - I have not added content with a citation needed tag. All the info I've written was cited. Perhaps I restored someone else's content that had a cn tag. Garuda3 (talk) 15:06, 10 February 2023 (UTC)

Also, although I did not add it, I must note you are mistaken regarding bustimes.org. It is not user generated, I believe it is based on bus databases updated by bus operators themselves. Garuda3 (talk) 15:08, 10 February 2023 (UTC)
Please use the talk page for the article.SovalValtos (talk) 19:25, 10 February 2023 (UTC)
Hello, I've raised my concerns on the talk page. Could you please respond? Garuda3 (talk) 11:47, 20 February 2023 (UTC)
As above Garuda3 Please use the talk page for the article, not this.SovalValtos (talk) 12:23, 20 February 2023 (UTC)
I did, and you didn't respond hence why I nudged you on here. I note you still haven't put forward a proper argument other than "other people agree with me". Garuda3 (talk) 14:02, 20 February 2023 (UTC)

"Facebook is not a reliable source"

Hello, I am not the author of the Facebook cite, I was merely restoring content someone else had removed. That being said, before leaving snarky edit summaries please check WP:FACEBOOK which states that the official Facebook page of an organisation can be used as a primary source. This appears to be the case at Rolling stock of the Swanage Railway. Garuda3 (talk) 19:47, 10 February 2023 (UTC)

Gussie Fink-Nottle

Re. "piscine": Shrimp are not fish. And it already says farther down that he's described as fish-faced. I am reverting your revert; please don't put it back unless you can cite "shrimp-like" from a PGW text. Jcejhay (talk) 12:19, 12 February 2023 (UTC)

I revdeleted that edit--it was a serious breach of a bunch of things. You have my blessing if you want to leave an "only warning" immediately for those kinds of offenses, and report it for revdeletion right away. Thanks, Drmies (talk) 22:59, 17 February 2023 (UTC)

Lakeside & haverthwaite Railway updates

Hi there,

Please could you reverse your 'revert' of this set of updates. My next task was to pull together the various citations, but interruptions due to family commitments will get in the way for approx. 24 hours. In situations where you identify such updates without citations, it would make far more sense to add a 'citation needed' tag rather than just remove the updates.

Thanks in advance. Tgl59 (talk) 21:20, 1 March 2023 (UTC)

Not done as you requested. Tgl59It would be better to use the talk page for the Lakeside and Haverthwaite Railway article for this rather than mine. There has already been a 'citation needed' tag on the Locomotives section for years so I won't add another now. The priority would seem to be to cit all the current material or remove it rather than add more unsourced material. There is no hurry to do it today. Looking forward to seeing what you achieve tomorrow. Best wishes.SovalValtos (talk) 22:49, 1 March 2023 (UTC)
I feel that reverting something less than 15 minutes after it was updated in the first instance where something is quite clearly work in progress was a seriously unhelpful thing to do. My working process is to get the facts in there and then add the citations in one go at the end, as there is often overlap. You have certainly wasted my time and for that I cannot thank you, even if your motivations are good, which looking at your personal contributions, they seem to be.
