Copying within Wikipedia requires proper attribution
Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you copied or moved text from Scottish independence referendum, 2014 into Politics of Edinburgh. While you are welcome to re-use Wikipedia's content, here or elsewhere, Wikipedia's licensing does require that you provide attribution to the original contributor(s). When copying within Wikipedia, this is supplied at minimum in an edit summary at the page into which you've copied content. It is good practice, especially if copying is extensive, to also place a properly formatted copied template on the talk pages of the source and destination. The attribution has been provided for this situation, but if you have copied material between pages before, even if it was a long time ago, please provide attribution for that duplication. You can read more about the procedure and the reasons at Copying within Wikipedia. Thank you. — Diannaa (talk) 22:07, 4 June 2016 (UTC)

Consensus
I'm aware of a lack of consensus on the EU referendum article at present, but that does not mean you are free to revert to your preferred version (which itself does not attract consensus support). That is heading towards WP:WRONGVERSION territory to be honest; I will refrain from changing any further map usage in article until consensus is found. Please do the same.

Note the map I intend to upload shortly is much superior on the back end, please use it to create a superior back-end for you map. (It will allow the colours to be adjusted on the fly, without having to fiddle with each and every voting area).--Nilfanion (talk) 10:51, 24 June 2016 (UTC)

The 10,000 Challenge
Hi. I've noticed the good work you do on here. I was wondering if you'd be interested in contributing to this ambitious British Isles challenge to bringing about 10,000 improvements to the UK and Ireland. The drive is fuelled by regional contests every few months. We will get to Scotland in the new year sometime. If you'd be interested in chipping in with the articles you improve please add your name to the participants and start adding your entries to the big list. Diversity of input will make it much more interesting to peruse! Thanks.♦ Dr. Blofeld  08:29, 13 September 2016 (UTC)

Thanks for replacing the tabloid links with more reliable sources. Please note though that, per WP:BLP, "material should not be added to an article when the only sourcing is tabloid journalism". Jmorrison230582 (talk) 15:14, 29 November 2016 (UTC)

"Grow up"???
Are you responding to the right edit? I hope not. Check your own bias. Jmorrison230582 (talk) 10:12, 27 June 2017 (UTC)


 * Listing every single seat won by a "unionist" party is excessive, and also ignores that the difference between a "unionist" seat (say Stirling, or some of the narrow Labour wins) and a "nationalist" seat (several narrow wins, Perth, NE Fife, a couple in Glasgow) is often wafer-thin. It perhaps made sense to list individual seats during the previous parliament, when the GB parties only had one seat each, but not now. Follow the sources, which mention the particular areas of Tory strength (south and north-east), and the more recent Labour revival. There is no particular reason to fully detail both of the last two elections - it should be more of an overview of the present situation. Jmorrison230582 (talk) 10:32, 27 June 2017 (UTC)
 * The bigger problem I had with the text as you had it is the extensive detail given to the last but one (2015) election. There's no more need for that now than details of any other previous election. Jmorrison230582 (talk) 11:21, 27 June 2017 (UTC)


 * You are being completely unreasonable. Imposing an inferior version of the article, with fewer references. Stop trying to impose your political point of view on everyone else. Jmorrison230582 (talk) 15:22, 27 June 2017 (UTC)

Your recent editing history shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war. To resolve the content dispute, please do not revert or change the edits of others when you are reverted. Instead of reverting, please use the talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. The best practice at this stage is to discuss, not edit-war. See BRD for how this is done. If discussions reach an impasse, you can then post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.

Being involved in an edit war can result in your being blocked from editing&mdash;especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring&mdash;even if you don't violate the three-revert rule&mdash;should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly. All you are doing is seeking to maintain your preferred version of the article - offering no constructive improvements to the article. WP:OWN. Jmorrison230582 (talk) 15:27, 27 June 2017 (UTC)

"In what sense am I being unreasonable and biased?"


 * You are doing nothing to improve the article - you are just seeking to impose your preferred version of the article. That is unreasonable. Everyone has a bias of some sort, but I believe you are a Conservative activist. Why else would you be taking a photograph at an election count?

Firstly, I am offering compromise and yet so far you have failed to point out what's wrong with the article or be constructive in any sense (every time you offer up something I try to find a solution and then you hastily retract what you've said).


 * You are only paying lip service to this. I have pointed out what is wrong with the previous version - tedious listing of constituency names, too much detail of the last but one election. Yet you revert the article to that version!

Secondly, the quality of an article is not about how many references it has or how long it is: it is about content.


 * That is wrong. An article is only promoted to GA or FA status if it has sufficient referencing (WP:V).

I am more than willing to add in more references to the version I am advocating if that's what's necessary!


 * But you haven't. You just revert. WP:OWN.

Thirdly, as I've said before I'm prepared to look at both the 2015 and 2017 results objectively as they are both written in equal measures in the version I have proposed, rather than reacting to things I don't like about the article purely because I don't like the result of one election in particular.


 * There you go again, accusing other people of bias without realising your own.

Fourthly, as I've asked before, let me ask that question back onto you and ask what makes your version better than mine?


 * It's better sourced and better written.

I'm trying to reach some compromise here, not push an agenda or position myself as a "better" contributor than yourself in any sense. So far as I can tell I'm getting no where with this as you have refused to set out a well-reasoned position or even attempt to come to any sort of compromise despite me throwing out various suggestions and telling you right from the get-go that I want to reach a compromise, so with that and your constant edit-warring I will now be seeking the advice of an administrator or moderator so long as you are unreasonable.


 * Excuse me, it was you who made the first revert and made a personal attack ("Grow up"). Jmorrison230582 (talk) 15:50, 27 June 2017 (UTC)

Offer
I will forget all of the above unpleasantness if you could make some suggestions as to what you would like to include in the article. The whole thing needs a fundamental rewrite - it jumps about with no consistent narrative. I think it could be reorganised into something like a bigger history section (integrating text about devolution and the indyref(s)), then talk about the organisations for and against, and then the current political position (most recent elections).
