Thanks for contributing to the article Thomas Picton. However, one of Wikipedia's core policies is that contributions must be verifiable through reliable sources, preferably using inline citations. Please help by adding more sources to the article you edited, and/or by clarifying how the sources already given support the claims (see here for how to do inline referencing). If you need further help, you can look at Help:Contents/Editing Wikipedia, or ask at the Teahouse, or just ask me. Thank you. Dormskirk (talk) 12:09, 13 October 2021 (UTC)

Hello, I'm Materialscientist. I wanted to let you know that I reverted one of your recent contributions—specifically this edit to Thomas Picton—because it did not appear constructive. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. If you have any questions, you can ask for assistance at the Help desk. Thanks. Materialscientist (talk) 18:44, 16 October 2021 (UTC)

I really want there to be some reference to Rosetta Smith. It seems that Wikipedia also edits the narratives of history. I'm not happy that you've deleted this as I have gone to pains to ensure this is correct. Jrbsaunders (talk) 19:58, 16 October 2021 (UTC)

I don't believe that this should be totally removed because you 'believe its unconstructive'. Unconstructive or not, it is fact and accurate information about a woman that very few have written about. You can edit it, but just reverting the whole thing is totally out of order.

 * What you're looking for is the article Rosetta Smith. The article Thomas Picton is for information about Thomas Picton. Kind regards, Grueslayer 21:12, 17 October 2021 (UTC)

Yes but there has to be reference to Rosetta Smith under Picton due to their significant personal and business relationships ~`~` Jrbsaunders (talk) 21:29, 17 October 2021 (UTC)

I'm happy to reduce the content, but there does need to be a linked reference to the article on Rosetta Smith. Seems to me that there is an attempt to ignore the significant connection between her and Picton ~`~` Jrbsaunders (talk) 21:32, 17 October 2021 (UTC)
 * It is right there. You need to READ the article before blindly adding to it. Quote: "Picton was also making money from speculation in land and slaves and his free coloured mistress and mother of four of his children, Rosetta Smith, was believed to be corruptly influencing his decisions." Even the source is provided. Kind regards, Grueslayer 08:50, 18 October 2021 (UTC)

Your recent editing history at Thomas Picton shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war; that means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be, when you have seen that other editors disagree. To resolve the content dispute, please do not revert or change the edits of others when you are reverted. Instead of reverting, please use the talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. The best practice at this stage is to discuss, not edit-war. See the bold, revert, discuss cycle for how this is done. If discussions reach an impasse, you can then post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.

Being involved in an edit war can result in you being blocked from editing&mdash;especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring&mdash;even if you do not violate the three-revert rule&mdash;should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly. Please read WP:3RR urgently. Dormskirk (talk) 21:54, 17 October 2021 (UTC)

Grueslayer well thanks for pointing this out. When was this inserted? As I set up Reference 10 for Candlin, K because this book was never used as a reference, so it must have been added recently. I have read the whole thing several times and it's been bugging me for several years that there was absolutely no reference to the fact that he had a mistress of colour and had 4 children by her. When was added and by whom? I also want to add an image of Pictons signature but I'm sure that'll get taken down because people will not believe that I own the actual document and they'll reject it on spurious reference grounds.

Grueslayer incidentally, this is the one and only reason I have set up an account on Wikipedia specifically to add reference to Rosetta Smith under Thomas Picton! I do not get involved in any editing on wikioedia because I simply cannot be bothered dealing with malicious and rude individuals. This is the one and only insertion that I have wanted putting into Wikioedia because it was obvious that the historical narrative was deliberately being tampered with. Now Rosetta Smith is actually mention under Picton my dreams have been fulfilled. I have far to many other things in my life to be working about than dealing with some of the people on here.

 * Rosetta Smith is mentioned in the Picton article since November 2017. The actual Rosetta Smith article was written on the same day. Kind regards, Grueslayer 12:16, 18 October 2021 (UTC)
