Enfield Chase
Hi there and thanks for your contributions to the Enfield Chase article. I am afraid I had to revert one (and then revert it when you added it a second time), because you simply pasted text from this page: into the article. This appears to have been a genuine mistake made in good faith, because you then cited where you got the text from. However we can't do that. Wikipedia pages must be creative and original, because copyright persists in other sources. When quoting from a source, large sections should be rewritten in our own words, whereas short quotations to illustrate a point can be included when marked with quotation marks. If you put the new information in your own words (preferably with a feel for what is already in the article) I am sure all will be well. In the meantime, please don't simply re-assert edits that are reverted. There is a talk page where you can discuss why an edit was reverted. Thanks, and looking forward to speaking more with you soon. Sirfurboy🏄 (talk) 17:30, 3 March 2023 (UTC)


 * Hi, thanks for that, I understand and agree, I will observe the guidelines. I apologise, I hadn't realised you were editing as I was working on it, I thought something strange had happened and I was looking at an old version.
 * For some reason I can't find tildes on my keyboard - apparently it should be below escape and above tab but all I have there is `

 * Tilde can be in several places depending on your keyboard (and what country it is from). My tilde is to the left of the Z. Some keyboards have it as the shifted top left character where you say, but if it is not there, some keyboards have it on a key to the right of the letters (I forget exactly which one). Just try pressing them all (remember to try with shift pressed too. I think it is usually shifted). I even seem to remember a keyboard I used where it was a shifted number key. If it is printed on your keyboard but the keyboard does not produce the character, you may have the wrong keyboard layout set up on your computer. Sirfurboy🏄 (talk) 21:09, 21 March 2023 (UTC)
 * I found it, thanks! ~ it was hiding on the # symbol above shift :-)
