 * Nick Moore Blackpool, this is an encyclopedia. When you write things like, "The biggest and best online history of Blackpool", that is your personal opinion. It may be a great resource and perhaps contain the largest library, but the way in which you have phrased it does not present it as supported fact by published sources. One of the largest misconceptions newcomers have about Wikipedia is that they can edit it without actually learning anything about Wikipedia. Then wonder why their contributions are not kept when they do not comfort to our rules or standards. There are plenty of resources here for newcomers. In fact the editing window is covered in links and notices about how to edit properly. To get you started I suggest you read the following pages (it is quite the read through but then again Wikipedia is one of the most read websites in the world for a reason): WP:NPOV, WP:RS, WP:ADVERT, WP:NOT, WP:OR, WP:V and WP:MOS.

It's not my phrase. Ah well, I'd better leave all the errors unchanged then. Bye. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Nick Moore Blackpool (talk • contribs)
 * You wrote "Written by local man Nick Moore" in the content and your username is Nick Moore Blackpool so I suspect the claim "it's not my phrase" to be unlikely. You also didn't correct any errors. You only added content that was a personal statement that was highly contentious, seemingly very biased, and not supported by an independent resource. You were reverted because you were actually adding in more errors. Mkdw talk 17:33, 22 August 2016 (UTC)

So. You live in Vancouver. I have lived in Blackpool since 1963 and write the biggest online local history of the area - over 1030 pages. That history is used by ALL local historians and academics in the area and over the world. Only last week, I was called Blackpool's leading and mst approachable local historian. I have been asked by TV, Radio, Internet companies for interviews and assistance. Lancashire County Council use my work in support of their published historical assessments. YOU decide not to even link to my work because my insert does not fit your criteria.

Fair enough. Let's all carry on making do with a Wiki page with errors and totally irrelevant info - porn images, really? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Nick Moore Blackpool (talk • contribs)
 * I don't live in Vancouver and I strongly suggest you attempt to not reveal the personal information of other editors as per our policy on WP:OUTING. I didn't decide anything. Your edits were reverted by someone else. I came here answering your question about how Wikipedia works which you clearly still do not understand because I suspect you haven't read the policies I linked. In one of them, it talks about a conflict of interest and that you need independent publications to support your claims. Otherwise they're simply personal claims and subject to bias. You claim you're "Blackpool's leading and mst approachable local historian" (spelling mistake included) but we have no way to verify that. You're potentially another person sitting behind a keyboard trying to push their website into the article. There's a neutral way to write an article and properly reference statements. Neither of which your edits have done and so all I told you was why it's not surprising that your edits were reverted when they breach so many policies. Mkdw talk 16:03, 23 August 2016 (UTC)

Thank you for your answer. It nicely confirms why we professionals do not use wikipedia. Bye. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Nick Moore Blackpool (talk • contribs)
