Granville rail disaster‎
Hi. I'm sorry, but I had to remove your recent addition to Granville rail disaster. It was good, but suffered from a couple of problems which meant that it would need to be rewritten in order to better fit. First, the opening sentence in the second paragraph was a tad too close to the source, which tends to raise copyright concerns. The rest was fine in this regard - it was just that one sentence. However, you also made a number of claims, some of which weren't explicitly in the source material - such as the impact the article had on survivors, and the concerns about payouts and compensation entitlements, neither of which was in the source. Anyway, I'm always a tad uncomfortable removing good faith edits that are well written, as in this case, but generally we need to stick fairly closely to the verification policy. - Bilby (talk) 13:47, 5 April 2010 (UTC)

As above, but more so. Please use the article discussion page before making any more edits, especially large ones. There may be a place for your material, but not as attempted twice now. Keep on doing it and you'll run into trouble. --Pete (talk) 03:36, 29 December 2011 (UTC)
