Hi, and welcome to Wikipedia. Please note that the material you keep adding to East End of London is already included in the article, in the section "Second World War". Please read the piece on "resolving the disagreement by discussion", here, rather than stuffing the paragraph back into the article, again. It doesn't need to be included twice. --Old Moonraker (talk) 08:04, 21 June 2012 (UTC) if
 * The truncated version is better, but parts of it read as though it's a promotion for the modern charity. I have suggested that you should consider Bethnal Green tube station, instead. Don't forget to include an edit summary on the page history each time you contribute. All the best. --Old Moonraker (talk) 08:25, 22 June 2012 (UTC)

What you wrote about the Bethnal Green Underground Disaster lacked certain facts, which I have now edited. I would be grateful if you would allow these additions to remain. I think that it is important for people to know how many children died in the crush and also that a Memorial Trust was set up in 2007 with the strict aim to constract a permanent memorial to the victims. Regards.


 * Thanks for replying here, rather than just putting the material back into the article again. I'm not a contributor to Bethnal Green tube station, but AFAICS the balance in the piece looks about right now; there's no doubt that this ill-famed tragedy deserves prominent treatment there. --Old Moonraker (talk) 11:37, 24 June 2012 (UTC)

Moonraker: I resent that you have removed details of the number killed in the Bethnal Green Underground Station Disaster - this is an ESSENTIAL detail of an event that occurred in the EAST END OF LONDON during the war. It may seem of little importance to you that the number of CHILDREN, WOMEN and MEN be given, but it does to those of the area and especially to those who lost them. The plaque that was eventually placed at the station is not a sufficient memorial to the dead. The Stairway to Heaven Memorial Trust was set up to construct a permanent memorial and it also deserves space in this section since it is a link to where readers may find out the full details of the disaster. Your refusal to allow these facts is a SHAME. You need to rethink your own motives for being so difficult.


 * I have never edited Bethnal Green tube station; I have removed nothing. From the article: "172 people died at the scene, with one more dying in hospital later; 62 of the dead were children". The section relating to the disaster has five paragraphs and, surely, there would be room there if anybody wants to add the number of women killed. "The 'Stairway to Heaven Memorial Trust' was established in 2007 to create a memorial to those who died in the disaster" is also included.--Old Moonraker (talk) 14:02, 25 June 2012 (UTC)

I believe that more details are required on the EAST END PAGE - this is where full information is lacking. Also you remark ........... 'there would be room there if anybody wants to add the number of 'women' killed' ....... shows a complete lack of sensitivity to them. If you read the stories of the survivors, you would begin to appreciate just what these women did in order to save their children. Please do not waste my time with a reply. I am not interested in bothering with a 'debate' any further. I would suggest that you think about your attitude.
