Managing a conflict of interest
Hello, Cynthia14. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with some of the people, places or things you have written about in the article MacLachlan, you may have a conflict of interest. People with a conflict of interest may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic. For information on how to contribute to Wikipedia when you have a conflict of interest, see the conflict of interest guideline and frequently asked questions for organizations. In particular, please:


 * avoid editing or creating articles related to you, your organization, its competitors, or projects and products you or they are involved with;
 * instead, propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (see the template);
 * avoid linking to the Wikipedia article or website of your organization in other articles (see WP:SPAM);
 * exercise great caution so that you do not violate Wikipedia's content policies.

In addition, the Wikimedia Foundation's terms of use require disclosure of your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation.

Please familiarize yourself with relevant policies and guidelines, especially those pertaining to neutral point of view, sourcing, and autobiographies. Thank you. The Dissident Aggressor 15:43, 11 October 2015 (UTC)

October 2015
Hello, I'm DissidentAggressor. I noticed that you made a change to an article, MacLachlan, but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so! If you need guidance on referencing, please see the referencing for beginners tutorial, or if you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you.

Your grandfather
Please stop adding that info about your grandfather to MacLachlan. It's a disambiguation page and we only list people who have articles about them there. It appears you're trying to do good work here but continuing add that info to that page is considered disruptive.The Dissident Aggressor 15:51, 11 October 2015 (UTC)

Alex Kersey-Brown
Please accept the birth dates and place of Alexander Kersey-Brown. I have also added his death date and place today. He passed this morning. These are the correct dates. He was born during a terrible air raid at Bristol Hospital/Infirmary, his mother Margaret Kersey-Brown told me. I am his former wife Cynthia Beatrice Kersey-Brown, formerly McLaglen Nee name; and now Mrs Ronald Allen. I married Alex known as "Mac" at The Queen's Chapel of the Savoy in London, so I know all the dates and births. I will certainly obtain the birth certificate for Alex to prove this is so.

 * Hi Cynthia14, It may seem odd, but birth/marriage/death certicates are considered a primary source, and as Wikipedia is compendium, they're not admissible. However, there are two references that indicate Alex Kersey-Brown was 72 in 2014, i.e. Cancer patient raises money for Yeovil's Macmillan unit, and Macmillan boosted by South Petherton cancer patient, the first of these gives his 72nd birthday being on November 18, 2014, indicating he was born in 1942. However, FreeBMD has the birth of a Malcolm Kersey-Brown (mother's maiden name Allen) registered during January→March 1941 in Bristol district, a birth can't be registered before it occurs, e.g. 1942, but it can be registered late, e.g. a November 1940 birth registered in early 1941, which would indicate the yeovilpress and thisisthewestcountry are incorrect.
 * Malcolm Kersey-Brown appears to have an older brother Edward Kersey-Brown (who had a daughter Kristina? (mothers maiden name Talbot) birth registered July→September 1966 (age 58) in Aled district), Malcolm Kersey-Brown's father also appears to have been named Edward (Edward S. Kersey-Brown), and his mother was named Margaret Allen (possibly Allan) (marriage registered April→June 1938 in Bristol district). Malcolm Kersey-Brown appears to have married Cynthia B. McLaglen (you?) (marriage registration January→March 1965 in Westminster district), and had two children; Nadia (birth registered July→September 1966 (age 58) in Hounslow district), and Marcus Stuart (birth registered October→December 1968 (age 56) in Huddersfield district).
 * As an aside, 15-stone seems heavy for a winger in the 1960s most were Will-o'-the-wisp types (except perhaps for Billy Boston), was this his playing weight?
 * Would I be correct in assuming that by Oval, Somerset you mean Yeovil, Somerset.
 * In addition, Would I be correct in assuming that this marriage registration January→March 1965 in Westminster district is for you?:Best regards DynamoDegsy (talk) 13:27, 24 November 2015 (UTC)


 * The reports giving November 30th as the date of his death are evidently mistaken since other reports appear earlier than this date. Was it the 23rd or the 24th?  It is difficult for Wikipedia to make corrections because we rely on what is reported in reliable sources.  In this case, what we normally regard as reliable sources seem to have failed to check their facts.  We cannot change what has been reported in the media, but we can reflect the fact that there are conflicting reports.  I've made a few changes to the article which I hope others will not revert.
