Welcome!
Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. Thank you for your contributions. We appreciate encyclopedic contributions, but some of your recent contributions, such as your edit to the page Jonathan Maitland, have removed content without a good reason to do so. Content on Wikipedia should not be removed just because you disagree with it or because you think it's wrong, unless the claim is not verifiable. Instead, you should consider expanding the article with noteworthy and verifiable information of your own, citing reliable sources when you do so. If you'd like to experiment with the wiki's syntax, please do so in the sandbox rather than in articles. The following links will help you begin editing on Wikipedia:
 * The five pillars of Wikipedia

 * How to edit a page
 * Editing tutorial
 * Picture tutorial
 * How to write a great article
 * Naming conventions
 * Simplified Manual of Style
 * Task Center – need some ideas of what kind of things need doing? Go here.

Please bear these points in mind while editing Wikipedia:
 * Respect copyrights – do not copy and paste text or images directly from other websites.
 * Maintain a neutral point of view – this is one of Wikipedia's core policies.
 * Take particular care while adding biographical material about a living person to any Wikipedia page and follow Wikipedia's Biography of Living Persons policy. Particularly, controversial and negative statements should be referenced with multiple reliable sources.
 * No edit warring or abuse of multiple accounts.
 * If you are testing, please use the Sandbox to [ do so].
 * Do not add troublesome content to any article, such as: copyrighted text, libel, advertising or promotional messages, and text that is not related to an article's subject; doing so will result in your account or IP being blocked from editing.
 * Do not use talk pages as discussion or forum pages as Wikipedia is not a forum.

The Wikipedia tutorial is a good place to start learning about Wikipedia. If you have any questions, see the help pages, add a question to the village pump or ask me on my talk page. By the way, you can sign your name on Talk and discussion pages using four tildes, like this: &#126;&#126;&#126;&#126; (the software will replace them with your signature and the date).

 * Hi, I have reverted your removal of the info on Jonathan Maitland again. I had already started a discussion on the article Talk page; please contribute there. Tacyarg (talk) 11:10, 15 March 2024 (UTC)
 * Hi there - yes thanks for this but I amended your addition as it is misleading and reflected a misunderstanding of how a by-line in a newspaper works. If you want to be accurate in your amendments you should have written :the newspaper copywriter wrote that "my mother was abusive" or words to that effect!  The author has no input into the title at all!
 * Secondly, I don't think it's very responsible to insert blanket statements about abuse on somebodies wiki page.  When I read the article in question, it was very clear that the author had a very complex attitude to his mother and your amendment unfortunately is untrue. According to the wiki guidance on editing one has to take a neutral view and your amendment appears very biased.
 * Many thanks

Hi Goldenlane6! I noticed that you have reverted to restore your preferred version of Jonathan Maitland several times. The impulse to undo an edit you disagree with is understandable, but I wanted to make sure you're aware that the edit warring policy disallows repeated reversions even if they are justifiable.

All editors are expected to discuss content disputes on article talk pages to try to reach consensus. If you are unable to agree&#32;at, please use one of the dispute resolution options to seek input from others. Using this approach instead of reverting can help you avoid getting drawn into an edit war. Please discuss on the article's Talk page rather than removing info..
