Bethnal Green
Hi, can I ask if this is a school project? I've noticed similar content in a couple of articles recently. Whatever the merits of the story about this young girl, it doesn't merit this much detail (if any) in a 300-year overview of the area of Bethnal Green. --Belbury (talk) 19:05, 27 March 2024 (UTC)


 * this is a school project run with support of Wikimedia UK who are fully aware of the nature of our project.
 * the children did the first edits and are very proud of their work, i am the project coordinator who is attemtping to ensure their edits stay there - so am trying to adjust the edits according to advise received
 * whats wrong with giving detail if we have it? Eminent seal (talk) 13:31, 28 March 2024 (UTC)
 * Claiming support from Wikimedia UK does not give you a free license to violate WP:NOR and WP:WEIGHT. If you add the material again, you will be blocked. OhNo itsJamie  Talk 13:39, 28 March 2024 (UTC)
 * I will contact our Wikimedia UK coordinator to advise on how best to go forward.
 * thank you for all your positivity, help and support - the kids will be most grateful. Eminent seal (talk) 13:45, 28 March 2024 (UTC)
 * Thank you for giving some context!
 * It's great to hear that students are interested in contributing to Wikipedia, but I'm sure you can see that a 600-word history of the growth of Bethnal Green between 1598 and 1986 doesn't need an additional 370 words in the middle of it about what happened to a particular young person there in 1764.
 * I'm not sure there's really anywhere on Wikipedia that's appropriate for Henrietta's story, as Wikipedia generally doesn't use WP:PRIMARY sources. Maybe take a look at Help:Your first article and decide if there's potential for writing a Wikipedia article about about Henrietta there.
 * Who is your contact at Wikimedia UK? Belbury (talk) 13:41, 28 March 2024 (UTC)
 * thank you for at least having some positive advice.
 * I have communicated our issues to the Wikimedia UK Program Coordinator, who can best advise us on how to proceed with the text and location Eminent seal (talk) 13:50, 28 March 2024 (UTC)
 * Okay, that sounds a useful route forward. You might also find Education program/Educators and the Education noticeboard helpful if you haven't already been directed to them. Belbury (talk) 13:57, 28 March 2024 (UTC)
 * very grateful for your practical and positive advice. Eminent seal (talk) 14:10, 28 March 2024 (UTC)

What do you mean when you say that your edits are being made by year 9 school children and note that "this is a learning process for them"? Are you one of these students, or are you a teacher adding text to Wikipedia on their behalf? --Belbury (talk) 12:28, 28 March 2024 (UTC)

You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you violate Wikipedia's no original research policy by inserting unpublished information or your personal analysis into an article, as you did at Aldgate. Belbury (talk) 13:29, 28 March 2024 (UTC)
