Welcome!
Hello, BrianEssex60, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Unfortunately, one or more of your recent edits did not conform to Wikipedia's verifiability policy, and may have been removed. Wikipedia articles should refer only to facts and interpretations verified in reliable, reputable print or online sources or in other reliable media. Always provide a reliable source for quotations and for any material that is likely to be challenged, or it may be removed. Wikipedia also has a related policy against including original research in articles.

If you are stuck and looking for help, please see the guide for citing sources or come to  The Teahouse, where experienced Wikipedians can answer any queries you have.

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Again, welcome. -- Ponyo bons mots 21:03, 8 November 2023 (UTC)


 * Hi there. I am quite confused by this as although I often use Wikipedia as a reader and am one of the rare people (as I was told at the time) to have supported it for a while with a direct debit, it is only the second time I have attempted to edit it.
 * When I am reading Wikipedia I often see the words "citation needed" by part of an article. Why are those sections allowed to remain yet you take mine down within twenty-four hours?
 * I was just editing the article on Jane Kelly to help her as she is one of my oldest friends. I previously edited her article to delete material that had been put there with malicious intent, associating her with Katie Hopkins etc. Likewise this had been allowed to remain seemingly indefinitely yet my innocuous and truthful material was removed in twenty-four hours. This seems more than a little inconsistent
 * I suppose I will have to ask Miss Kelly for citations for the various references to her paintings. Yet I am not sure what either of us can do about her recovery from cancer, something Miss Kelly is keen to see there as she would like to give hope to others suffering from ovarian cancer. Short of gaining access to her medical records, I am not sure how I would verify her recovery apart from taking her word for it.
 * I am sorry if all these objections are a nuisance but we are both in our mid-sixties and find these new innovations quite difficult.
 * Kind regards 2A00:23C5:918C:FA01:9CDE:42A2:CE42:E16A (talk) 17:20, 13 November 2023 (UTC)
 * The standard for sourcing and verifiability is much stronger for biographies of living persons. Unsourced content, especially regarding personal information, should be removed until a reliable source is provided. You can read more about these standards at Wikipedia:Biographies of living persons. As you are closely associated with the subject of the article, you should not be editing the article directly; please ensure you follow the conflict of interest guidelines moving forward. Please do read through the links I've provided here, I believe they will clarify the pertinent policies. Thank you, -- Ponyo bons mots 22:56, 14 November 2023 (UTC)
