Retraction

Okay - I do hereby retract my accusation where I said that you were "in fact" an old user using a new account. You are quite correct in saying that I have no evidence to claim that as being a fact at all. Doc talk 11:27, 14 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Thankyou. I hope we can put this behind us and productively edit together in future Doc, Valiant Patriot (talk) 11:46, 14 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Me too. If you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask me. I've been here for a while. Doc talk 11:52, 14 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

May 2018

Please do not add or change content, as you did at Megan Davis, 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. Melcous (talk) 13:14, 27 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

How do I cite twitter? talk ~~signature~~

You don't. Wikipedia works by citing what reliable, independent secondary sources say. If one of them reports on something, then you can cite it. Until then, I suggest you leave the article alone. Adding your own interpretation of something that has happened is original research which is not allowed here. Oh, and by the way, in regards to your message on my talk page, I have nothing to do with Megan Davis, very little idea of who she is, and no idea what you are referring to on twitter. But I will continue to remove unsourced content from biographies of living people. Cheers, Melcous (talk) 13:23, 27 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Melcous if i take a screenshot of the twitter fight can i write that article then? it was a big news story i think

Again, no. It is a 'big story' by wikipedia standards if reputable secondary sources (i.e. newspapers, news websites, journals etc) have written about it. My question to you would be what is your involvement in this and why are you so interested in it being included? Melcous (talk) 09:43, 28 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

i was a victim of the twitter fight, you are probably right however, i will not have it included. it is not appropriate for an ecylcoepeida. Thanks for your help, ive forgotten most of the Wiki Rules since i last edited. Valiant Patriot (talk) 05:00, 30 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
