Lambeth East
Hi,

I just wondered why you removed my edit to the Lewisham East By-election page? I've referenced the piece of legislation.

Regards, DD — Preceding unsigned comment added by DirtyDog90210 (talk • contribs) 16:59, 9 May 2018 (UTC)


 * Hey DD. I thought that it looked a bit too much like editorial or commentary. Remember that you are responding to the Huff Post's reported quote from an anonymous source. If you want to add that content, you may have to think about re-wording, or putting it in a more relevant section doktorb wordsdeeds 17:16, 9 May 2018 (UTC)

Lewisham East - For Britain
Hello Here is a problem. The page just becomes a Labour Party page. I get why you made the change (if in good faith), but without reference to other parties, it is totally unbalanced. Chwyatt (talk) 08:33, 12 May 2018 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for May 16
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Sixth Periodic Review of Westminster constituencies, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Afzal Khan ([//dispenser.info.tm/~dispenser/cgi-bin/dablinks.py/Sixth_Periodic_Review_of_Westminster_constituencies check to confirm] | [//dispenser.info.tm/~dispenser/cgi-bin/dab_solver.py/Sixth_Periodic_Review_of_Westminster_constituencies?client=notify fix with Dab solver]). Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ* Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

Libertarian Party (UK)
Hi — you've asked a participant in the ongoing Libertarian Party (UK) discussion whether they have an undisclosed conflict of interest. The user in question declares their political views on their user page, and has recently participated in a series of AfD discussions, arguing almost exclusively for articles to be kept. Whilst, naturally, as nominator I disagree with the argument the user is making, I don't think there's any basis to question the user's editorial integrity!

Just thought I'd let you know. If you want to strike through your question, it might make further discussion of the party easier and more focused, whilst avoiding escalation. (Though of course, that's your prerogative.) Ralbegen (talk) 21:29, 22 May 2018 (UTC)

Hashtag_United_FC
You are now the second editor who replaces the official website (official youtube) on Hashtag United F.C. with the Twitter, whereas the club's notability, per the lede, seems significantly due to their postings on Youtube. I have therefore brought the discussion to a broader audience for discussion on External links/Noticeboard. --Dirk Beetstra T C 18:58, 12 August 2018 (UTC)

Please guide me through
I do find trending stories on Wikipedia sometimes like trending s relating to politics and government. I don't really understand how this work. Is it that they are linked from other sites or they're independent stories created my Wikieditors? I'm new here and aside from creating new pages I would like to be submitting news articles if it's accepted hereEdyreuben (talk) 09:40, 21 February 2019 (UTC)

Articles for deletion/Constituency election results in the 1929 United Kingdom general election
Are you intending on fixing/finishing this AfD proposal? I'd also recommend adding to this AfD the three other constituency election results articles that you allude to. Onetwothreeip (talk) 10:28, 22 April 2019 (UTC)
 * I am trying to sort it now. I used to do AfDs all the time but it's been ages so I'm a touch rusty on all the separate parts of the manual process and all of that. Give me a few minutes to re-learn what to do :) doktorb wordsdeeds 10:29, 22 April 2019 (UTC)

Sheffield Hallam
Hey there,

I noticed that you recently directed the 2019 Sheffield Hallam by-election page to the constituency page. I have decided that now the by-election has been confirmed by news sources including the BBC and Daily Telegraph, it is now credible enough for the page to be created. I'm making you aware in case you still believe this should not be the case, in which case I would invite you to comment on the Talk page. ^^ -Internet is Freedom (talk) 20:19, 31 July 2019 (UTC)

"we don't host single candidate boxes"
Can you point me to the policy or consensus you're getting this from? From your messages to me, and looking at your contribs, I'm concerned that you're on a crusade of sorts and are using your personal beliefs to impede the organic development of articles, rather than editing from our objective content standards. This is particularly alarming when apparently trying to assert ownership over a large content area, and I just want to make sure it isn't what it looks like. Thanks, ~Swarm~  {sting} 23:36, 11 November 2019 (UTC)
 * Hi Swarm, thanks for your message. I assure you that my editing is not as malicious as you think and I do wonder if your angle is coming from a misunderstanding. First of all, I'm not here to cause mischief or trolling, my edits come from my understanding of WP:BIAS. In the run up to an election editors (mostly IP addresses) are keen to promote candidates as though Wikipedia is a blog or advertising site. You and I know that Wikipedia is not a site for promotion of candidates. I am not going to trawl through years of UK politics talk page archives to find debate on election box design; we've been around Wikipedia for years and have discussed a lot of things. As you have no doubt noticed, fellow members of the project have not objected to my edits. Indeed, as I mentioned on your talk page, my edit to pages have gone without much trouble until the specific case of Rossendale and Darwen. If you're convinced that recent edits are not entirely proper, I can assure you of one more thing: the deadline for candidates is tomorrow, so my next focus is ensuring the boxes are in alphabetical order, another consensus which has been accepted for years as proper because it reflects the Statement of Persons Nominated and Wikipedia should reflect the sources. Hope we can get onto a better working relationship after this :) doktorb wordsdeeds 08:24, 13 November 2019 (UTC)

Google Code-In 2019 is coming - please mentor some documentation tasks!
Hello,

Google Code-In, Google-organized contest in which the Wikimedia Foundation participates, starts in a few weeks. This contest is about taking high school students into the world of opensource. I'm sending you this message because you recently edited a documentation page at the English Wikipedia.

I would like to ask you to take part in Google Code-In as a mentor. That would mean to prepare at least one task (it can be documentation related, or something else - the other categories are Code, Design, Quality Assurance and Outreach) for the participants, and help the student to complete it. Please sign up at the contest page and send us your Google account address to google-code-in-admins@lists.wikimedia.org, so we can invite you in!

From my own experience, Google Code-In can be fun, you can make several new friends, attract new people to your wiki and make them part of your community.

If you have any questions, please let us know at google-code-in-admins@lists.wikimedia.org.

Thank you!
