David Dingwall
Hi there, I just seen the edits you made to the David Dingwall article, and I know the article needs to be cleaned up, but you removed all the references from the article, most of the wikilinks, added additional text that was unsourced and changed all mentions of the subject to Mr. Dingwall, which isn't how Wikipedia articles refer to people. The references are a very important part of wikipedia articles, there used to verify information added and must be included not removed for no reason. There even more important in this article because we're dealing with a living person, and WP:BLP must be followed. It's great that your willing to work to cleanup the article, but it has to be done by following the guidelines and policies of Wikipedia. Since, these are the first edits you have made, it's quite posible that you just were not aware of this, so I just reverted the edits back to a version that included references and hope that you are willing to start again. Like I said, it's pretty obvious the article needs work, but removing the references doesn't improve the article, so please try to source the info you add, while keeping the references for info already sourced. Please don't take this message as being critical, it's not. I'm more than willing to work with you to improve the article. All you need to do is ask, and I will help you anyway I can.

 * Please note.. I have reverted back to your edit. That editor had no right to do what he did, so my best advice is just ignore this editor. The idiot should be banned.99.192.5.233 (talk) 06:22, 15 May 2012 (UTC)
