Ownership of The Sanctuary
Thank you for updating the Sanctuary Music Arena. I know it is difficult to dig up evidence from the past to support all the statements made in the article, but if you could at least try hard to find a source for Tony Rosenberg as owner, that would be really good. --John Maynard Friedman (talk) 22:49, 3 December 2015 (UTC)


 * I can verify ownership of The Sanctuary as I am Tony Rosenberg. Ownership was initially through my company Sanctuary Leisure Ltd which subsequently floated on the London Stock Exchange as XS Leisure plc, owning 19 leisure venues across the UK, including The Sanctuary Birmingham which I acquired as The Institute in Digbeth before renaming.

 * Welcome again to Wikipedia, Tony! Unfortunately, wp can't rely on editors' say-so, it needs reliable third party sources. (See the [[wp:RS] policy). I wonder if there is anything available at Companies House, for example? It doesn't have to be online, it is enough to state it as a source if you say how and where to inspect it. Actually there are quite a few more statements in the article - especially about featured artists and events - that really need to be evidenced.
 * BTW, you haven't done anything to cause concern so please take this just 'on advisement': when editing material that you have a personal interest in, please keep in mind the policy wp:conflict of interest. I'm not suggesting you would break it but there are many people who have - including a Tory MP. On the other hand, you are ideally placed to improve (esp evidence) the wp articles on house/garage/trance etc music, so wp:Be Bold! No one is going to quibble if you can back up what you write with evidence. If you would like any help or advice, leave a note on my talk page. Again, welcome! --John Maynard Friedman (talk) 19:18, 4 December 2015 (UTC)
