Additional tips...


 * Please sign your messages on talk pages with four tildes ( ~ ). This will automatically insert your "signature" (your username and a date stamp). The OOUI JS signature icon LTR.png button, on the tool bar above Wikipedia's text editing window, also does this.
 * If you would like to play around with your new Wiki skills without changing the mainspace, the Sandbox is for you.

L.s.kerr, good luck, and have fun. Pam  D  06:55, 13 May 2022 (UTC)  Pam  D  06:55, 13 May 2022 (UTC)

Colston statue
Hallo, Sorry, but I reverted your change to Statue of Edward Colston because:
 * 1) The source shows that it happened on the 8th not the 6th, after not before the toppling (it talks in terms of Monday and Sunday)
 * 2) In any case it would not have been appropriate in the lead section, which is a summary of the content already present in the body of the article
 * 3) And dates in Wikipedia are not written as "6th June 2022" but as "6 June 2022" - see MOS:DATE

There is a lot to learn about editing Wikipedia but it is an interesting journey. It might be appropriate to add this information about the later cardboard plaque into the article, but within the body, not the lead, and with accurate and properly-formatted date. Thanks.
