Welcome
Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia!

Someone using this IP address,, removed content from the page Douglas Tottle without giving an explanation. Please always provide an informative edit summary when removing content from pages. If is a shared IP address and you did not do this, you may wish to consider [ getting a username] to avoid confusion with other editors and further irrelevant notices.

Here are a few good links for newcomers:
 * The five pillars of Wikipedia
 * How to edit a page
 * Tips on starting your first article
 * Help pages
 * Tutorial

Here are some other hints and tips:
 * I recommend that you get a username. You don't have to log in to read or edit articles on Wikipedia, but  [ creating an account]  is quick, free and non-intrusive, requires no personal information, and there are many benefits of having a username. (If you edit without a username, your IP address is used to identify you instead.)
 * When using talk pages, please sign your name at the end of your messages by typing four tildes . This will automatically produce your username (or IP address) and the date.

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! If you need help, check out Questions, ask me on my talk page, or type  here on your talk page and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions. Again, welcome! DoebLoggs (talk) 08:17, 3 July 2023 (UTC)


 * I have been involved with the discussion on the talk page with regards to the changes. Is that not enough? I have not seen more from the people who reverted my own edits, or the edits of the user i was restoring. 49.182.173.50 (talk) 08:22, 3 July 2023 (UTC)
 * As far I can see you only left a comment on the article's talk page 13 minutes before removing a properly sourced sentence. When opinions diverge on a specific subject, like in this case, you are expected to reach a consensus and not to act unilaterally as you did. Discussions can take days or weeks before reaching a consensus. I will not revert you again as I don't want to break the 3RR rule but I still consider your removal an incorrect move. --DoebLoggs (talk) 08:43, 3 July 2023 (UTC)
 * I have previous comments as well. 49.182.173.50 (talk) 08:51, 3 July 2023 (UTC)
 * All a moot point anyway, as it seems that Mzajac is locking down the article to their extremely biased version without bothering to engage in consensus building at all. Should I take it that these rules only apply to new editors? 211.30.185.112 (talk) 02:32, 4 July 2023 (UTC)
 * Not at all. Usually, when a discussion is ongoing on a certain topic, involved users are expected not to change the status quo before a consensus is reached. I can't say for sure that this was 's intent, but their reversion of your edit can be seen that way and this is why it is, in my opinion, acceptable. --DoebLoggs (talk) 09:00, 4 July 2023 (UTC)
 * They also removed Wizard of Cambridges contribution without discussion, and aren't engaging in good faith discussion in the talk page. 147.10.101.168 (talk) 12:47, 4 July 2023 (UTC)
 * How can consensus be reached with someone who refuses to engage in consensus building? 147.10.101.168 (talk) 12:48, 4 July 2023 (UTC)
