Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did at West Wickham. Your edits appear to be disruptive and have been or will be reverted. Please ensure you are familiar with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines, and please do not continue to make edits that appear disruptive. Continued disruptive editing may result in loss of editing privileges. Thank you. 2A02:8084:F1BE:9180:C03D:3AFB:F2CD:A0C0 (talk) 16:31, 6 May 2021 (UTC)
 * If you are engaged in an article content dispute with another editor, please discuss the matter with the editor at their talk page, or the article's talk page, and seek consensus with them. Alternatively, you can read Wikipedia's dispute resolution page, and ask for independent help at one of the relevant noticeboards.
 * If you are engaged in any other form of dispute that is not covered on the dispute resolution page, please seek assistance at Wikipedia's Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents.

Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to disrupt Wikipedia, as you did at West Wickham, you may be blocked from editing.

You have been warned over making these kinds of edits twice before, and it saddens me that you have not learned on either occasion.

I do assume good faith - but, unfortunately, good faith is *not* the only thing required to be a useful Wikipedia contributor. From WP:CIR:

"Competence is required as well. A mess created in a sincere effort to help is still a mess. For that reason, it can become necessary for the community to intervene when an editor has shown, through a pattern of behavior, the likelihood that they are not capable of contributing in a constructive manner."

It pains me to say this, but in none of your edits so far have you shown much in the way of capability of contributing in a constructive manner.

I don't want to keep warning you here - and I certainly don't want to be compelled to take this matter to the administrators, who may well decide that the best course of action will be to forbid you from editing for whatever length of time (which wouldn't please them, you, me, or anyone).

What I will suggest is: accept that West Wickham is entirely within BR4 and the London Borough of Bromley (and was part of Kent until 1965). Any nearby roads that are in CR0 and the London Borough of Croydon are in Spring Park or Addington rather than West Wickham (and also were in Surrey until 1965). Also, do not believe *every* address you see on Google Maps.

Thank you. 2A02:8084:F1BE:9180:4DCF:CA0B:9C76:E5EB (talk) 16:08, 13 May 2021 (UTC)


 * Do you ever live in the area? Also that’s strange because I live on The Alders in West Wickham and my postcode is CR0 and I pay my council tax to the London Borough of Croydon. RORYSAVIOLYERN37373 (talk) 21:26, 3 August 2021 (UTC)


 * Weeeeell... according to 192.com, every address of The Alders has a BR4 postcode:


 * https://www.192.com/places/br/br4-9/br4-9pg/


 * Aaaaaand... unless there's been a border change that somehow has had no media coverage whatsoever, The Alders is entirely within the London Borough of Bromley. The road is on the east side of the River Beck, and the signs for it are green with white lettering (if the road was in the London Borough of Croydon, these signs would instead be white with black lettering).


 * If you're trying to pull my leg here, then I'm sorry to say, you've failed miserably. 2A02:8084:F1BE:9180:5F3:EE69:22D8:9D69 (talk) 23:38, 4 August 2021 (UTC)


 * Most of the signs in west Wickham are white with black lettering😂 RORYSAVIOLYERN37373 (talk) 01:33, 8 August 2021 (UTC)


 * No, they are NOT. They are green with white lettering - as are the signs for almost every road in Orpington, Chislehurst, Biggin Hill, and all other areas in the London Borough of Bromley.


 * The signs for the roads in Spring Park and Addington are white with black lettering. So are the signs for the roads in Shirley, New Addington and Selsdon. So, too, are the signs for the roads in Thornton Heath, Purley, Coulsdon, and all other areas in the London Borough of Croydon.


 * But West Wickham is NOT in the London Borough of Croydon. NO part of it is in this borough. It is ENTIRELY within the London Borough of Bromley, and hence the signs for almost EVERY road in it are green with white lettering. (I will admit that there is the odd white sign with black lettering - but as far as I'm concerned, these are older signs that haven't been replaced yet. And when they are replaced, the new signs will be green with white lettering, unless of course Bromley's councillors have a rethink before then.)


 * Surely you must accept this, if you genuinely do live in West Wickham? 2A02:8084:F1BE:9180:7CAD:D192:704B:DAB0 (talk) 15:10, 8 August 2021 (UTC)


 * I’ll name you all the roads that are white with black writing right now The grove,Highfield drive,Southcroft avenue,Surrey road,briar lane and inchwood so yes I do live in West Wickham. RORYSAVIOLYERN37373 (talk) 19:01, 8 August 2021 (UTC)


 * That's only SIX roads (and some of those roads do have green signs with white lettering too). Six roads out of, what, a hundred?


 * This situation just seems to be getting more and more ridiculous - so why don't you just accept once and for all that West Wickham is entirely within BR4 and the London Borough of Bromley? Regardless what colours the signs for its roads are, and regardless whether or not you genuinely do live in it (hate to say this, but you have not been doing a good job convincing me that you do - whether it's The Alders, Arragon Gardens, Stambourne Way, Courtfield Rise, Linden Leas, or wherever). It would be much easier for you, and for everyone else too.


 * If you are NOT going to accept this - that is, you're going to steadfastly believe that part of West Wickham is in CR0 and the London Borough of Croydon - then may I kindly suggest that you take this particular belief outside of Wikipedia and leave it outside of Wikipedia. This, too, would be much easier for everyone, yourself included.


 * I have previously said that I don't want to end up taking this matter to the administrators. I still don't. Unfortunately, there's only so much patience I have at any one time...


 * Thank you. 2A02:8084:F1BE:9180:7CAD:D192:704B:DAB0 (talk) 03:57, 9 August 2021 (UTC)


 * May I add: I myself do not live in West Wickham, but I *am* familiar with the area. 2A02:8084:F1BE:9180:7CAD:D192:704B:DAB0 (talk) 03:58, 9 August 2021 (UTC)

I was joking with you I know it’s not in Croydon RORYSAVIOLYERN37373 (talk) 01:58, 10 August 2021 (UTC)
