George Ferguson
Hi, I noticed a couple of your edits removing George Ferguson (Mayor of Bristol) from Exploratory (museum) and At-Bristol. I think this is probably valid on At-Bristol but this source does say " He was a founder and Chairman of the Exploratory, Britain’s first hands-on science centre that gave birth to Explore-at-Bristol."&mdash; Rod talk 08:45, 2 June 2015 (UTC)

Hi I did read that web page, but deferred back to the ful history included in the official former Exploratory site where the foundation of the museum is clearly attributed to Richard Gregory. I considered this source to be definitive in this instance. Ferguson was chairman later in the history of the museum, and may have been involved at the inception, but I felt the entry was potentially misleading in the prominence it gave Ferguson as potential "co-founder".

Content MUST reflect what the sources verify
Your edit GROSSLY misrepresents what the sources actually say. Such edits are unacceptable anywhere, but are particularly troublesome when changing content about living people. -- TRPoD aka The Red Pen of Doom  17:28, 16 September 2015 (UTC)

Please stop adding unreferenced or poorly referenced biographical content, especially if controversial, to articles or any other Wikipedia page. Content of this nature could be regarded as defamatory and is in violation of Wikipedia policy. If you continue, you may be blocked from editing Wikipedia. You MUST stop inserting claims of quotes where the sources do not verify the contents of the quote. -- TRPoD aka The Red Pen of Doom  17:42, 16 September 2015 (UTC)

PLEASE will you read those citations properly and use the link to the video of the original incident where the entire conversation is recorded. THEN return the article to that revision. IF you have a query regarding issues like this it is commonplace to use the talk section of the page or note that a citation is needed
 * I read the citations properly. And the sources cited do not give the direct quote. We do not use the primary source of video to do our own transcriptions, particularly in a "heard but not seen" situation. --  TRPoD aka The Red Pen of Doom  18:26, 16 September 2015 (UTC)

Westmoreland House
What evidence do you have that "Westmoreland House" on Stokes Croft, Bristol doesn't have two Es in "Westmoreland"? There are numerous sources across the political spectrum that contradict your unsourced assertion : for example here, here, here, here, here and here. I know it's not exactly civil to say "you are completely wrong", but.... Ritchie333 (talk) (cont)  11:58, 8 November 2018 (UTC)
