Please do not vandalize pages, as you did with this edit to Savills. If you continue to do so, you will be blocked from editing. Fieldday-sunday (talk) 13:45, 17 November 2009 (UTC)

Fieldday, These are not unconstructive edits. Most of the information you have on the Savills page is incorrect. Please allow me to edit the page.


 * We've told you what the problem with your edits are: you are removing a section that is sourced and not providing a rationale. You have now done so, tho 'its incorrect' is not likely to carry much weight without countering it with another source or explaining why it is undue weight to a single event.  The place to do that is Talk:Savills.  Your other edits should be supported with reliable sources.  I hope this is helpful to you, and that we can arrive at a satisfactory state for the page for all parties.  Cheers, Syrthiss (talk) 14:33, 17 November 2009 (UTC)

The article link no longer works as we have removed the listing from Property Week which is where the feed is coming from. Our PR team noticed a few errors in the research so are removing the incorrect information and will be issuing a new release. With regards to the additional information such as the Savills head office location and CEO these are correct and from a reliable source - just check our website. Regards, Savills Marketing


 * Excellent, see how easy that was? When you explain the WHY of things it heads off all sorts of misunderstandings, which is why we recommend using edit summaries (that secondary box you see below the main edit box) or making notes on the talk pages for the article.  I reinstated your removal of the section.  You are free to reinstate the other changes (head office location etc), but I don't feel that I can do that myself since I wasn't the one who reverted them.  I do advise you to use this account as your personal account, and not a group account for 'Savills Marketing' which would be against our username policy.  Thanks for your efforts to improve the encyclopedia. Syrthiss (talk) 16:20, 17 November 2009 (UTC)

Many thanks. I have to say it's not all that user friendly for a first time user. I missed the secondary edit box to leave a comment and there was no direction/prompt to go to the talk page, which is the reason I didn't explaining WHY I wanted to make the changes.


 * Yepyep, thats usually why these misunderstandings start off. The interface isn't super user friendly, and people naturally want to jump right in instead of making small edits. :) Syrthiss (talk) 16:59, 17 November 2009 (UTC)
