Welcome to Wikipedia, and thank you for your contributions. One of the core policies of Wikipedia is that articles should always be written from a neutral point of view. Please remember to observe our core policies.

Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, adding content without citing a reliable source is not consistent with our policy of verifiability. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. If you are familiar with Citing sources, please take this opportunity to add references to the article. --Miesianiacal (talk) 15:50, 10 June 2009 (UTC)

 * [[Image:Information.svg|25px]] In creating the article Begbrooke you mis-spelt the title. There is already an article for Begbroke. I have therefore nominated the "Begbrooke" article for deletion.


 * In creating the article Wendlebury you cited no sources, provided very little content and did not write from a Neutral point of view, which is one of the five pillars of Wikipedia. I have therefore complately rewritten the article.


 * I and other editors have removed many of your alterations to Yarnton on more than one occasion for similar reasons. Motacilla (talk) 00:44, 11 June 2009 (UTC)


 * Please, when adding images (as you did at Yarnton, caption them! An uncaptioned picture is more or less useless in an encyclopedia. Pictures are not there just for decoration. - Jmabel | Talk 01:09, 15 July 2009 (UTC)

Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia, it is recommended that you use the preview button before you save; this helps you find any errors you have made, reduces edit conflicts, and prevents clogging up recent changes and the page history. Jeni ( talk )(Jenuk1985) 01:50, 18 July 2009 (UTC)

Clan Douglas article
Hi, I recently added some references to the information on the Clan Douglas page. I should warn you that any information added to Wikipedia has to have a proper reference or source, otherwise it can be removed. You may be intersted in the Scottish clan project and discussion, found at WikiProject Clans of Scotland. Oh and I removed the line about Douglases being 'wary' of Stirling Castle, remember this is an encycleopedia which is supposed to contain factual information. Besides you put in after the murder which took place at Edinburgh Castle :). QuintusPetillius (talk) 16:25, 26 July 2009 (UTC)

Clan Douglas article (again)
You are repeatedly adding info without a source or reference. You may know about the history of Clan Douglas but you need to know how to edit Wikipedia before you start. Also some of the info you contributed was not connected to the 'Clan Douglas'. Just becuase someone shares the surname 'Douglas' does not mean they are part of the clans history. Some things you should take a look at if you want to edit:


 * The five pillars of Wikipedia
 * Tutorial
 * How to edit a page
 * How to write a great article
 * Manual of Style

Yarnton - again
You have been asked repeatedly not to add material to Wikipedia unless you provide inline citations. On 4th August you again added much material to Yarnton without observing this principle. I have therefore deleted nearly all the additions you made on that date. It is reliability, not length, that gives an article value. Your unreferenced contributions have repeatedly reduced the reliability of articles to which you have added them. Unless you can provide authoritative sources for your assertions, please do not add them to Wikipedia.

Please provide an authoritative source and inline citations for your paragraph about the forest of the Palace of Woodstock. On what basis do you claim that this forest extended "from Woodstock to Yarnton and beyond"? That would suggest that the forest extended south of Yarnton. In fact south of Yarnton there are ancient common meadows that have never been enclosed. When was the forest reduced, and therefore is "From the 18th century until modern times" the correct section in which to refer to it? Unless you provide authoritative references, preferably from published books or peer-reviewed journals rather than websites, your paragraph about the forest of the Palace of Woodstock may also be deleted.

The number of times that you have disregarded constructive advice from fellow-contributors is becoming excessive. This creates unnecessary work and inconvenience for those of us who repair articles after you have worked on them. Unless you comply with Wikipedia's principles, you may be temporarily blocked from making contributions. Motacilla (talk) 12:07, 5 August 2009 (UTC)

Biographical inaccuracies
On 9th June you added a sentence about the founder of the Ormerod School to the "Ormerod Department" section of the Marlborough School (Woodstock) article. You cited no source for your material. The founder was a not "John Ormerod" as you wrote but Sir Arthur Latham Ormerod, Medical Officer for Health for the City of Oxford in the early decades of the 20th century. You asserted that Sir Arthur was concerned with a cholera epidemic in Oxford in the 19th century. I have found no source to verify this so I have deleted your assertion. If you know of a reputable published source to verify this, please reinsert your claim with an inline citation. Motacilla (talk) 18:37, 14 August 2009 (UTC)

On 6th August you added Archibald Douglas, 4th Earl of Douglas to the "Famous natives" list in the Touraine article. The Wikipedia article on the 4th Earl says he was born in Scotland. If so, he was not a native of Touraine. Did you see that the Touraine article already lists him as a "Famous non-native"? Adding him to article as a the "Famous native" was both superfluous and plain wrong. I have therefore reverted your addition.

On 8th August you added Betty Boothroyd to the "Notable alumni" list in the St Hugh's College, Oxford article. Once again you have cited no source for your assertion. According to the Wikipedia article on Baroness Boothroyd, her only higher education was at Dewsbury College of Commerce and Art. She is an honorary fellow of St Hugh's College, but I do not believe that makes her an alumna. Hut 8.5 asserts that Baroness Boothroyd holds an honorary degree. This might have been conferred by the University of Oxford, but certainly not St Hugh's College, and in any case I do not believe that an honorary degree suffices to make someone an alumna. I have therefore deleted Betty Boothroyd from the list of alumni in the St Hugh's College, Oxford article.

Wikipedia relies on accurate, referenced and verifiable material. We all make occasional mistakes, and all good Wikipedians help each other by making corrections in a collegial manner. However, if you continue posting inaccurate, unsourced and unverifiable material then Wikipedia is unlikely to be the appropriate medium for your contributions.

Manor house
In the Manor house article I have corrected your spelling of Begbroke. You have cited no evidence or source for calling Bletchingdon Manor "Wren Manor" so I have corrected this as well. Motacilla (talk) 23:20, 23 September 2009 (UTC)

Emannuel Christian School, Oxfordshire
You have cited no sources for your new article Emmanuel Christian School, Oxfordshire so I have tagged it accordingly. I have also placed inline tags on a few items in your text that I suggest merit amendment or clarification. I note that in the space of 21 hours you published 31 edits to the article and wrote no edit summary for any of them. It is only human to think of another improvement just after publishing a new edit online, but in order to minimise long successions of multiple minor edits please use the Sandbox as much as possible.

Combe Longa
The two images you added to Combe Longa lack captions, so their relation to the topic is unclear. Please add captions. - Jmabel | Talk 03:02, 8 November 2009 (UTC)
