Hello, I'm Materialscientist. I noticed that you made an edit concerning content related to a living (or recently deceased) person, but you didn't support your changes with a citation to a reliable source, so I removed it. Wikipedia has a very strict policy concerning how we write about living people, so please help us keep such articles accurate and clear. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you! Materialscientist (talk) 12:00, 10 April 2017 (UTC)

John Crittle
Please stop removing information and replacing it with other text which is NOT backed up by the cited sources, as you have repeatedly done with the article on John Crittle. Edwardx (talk) 10:16, 11 April 2017 (UTC)

Possible conflict of interest
Your edits to John Crittle and Darcey Bussell suggest that you may have a conflict of interest.

For John Crittle, "Corrected name re birth certificate", "Please note I have corrected Darcey bussells name re birth certificate". For Darcey Bussell, "Birth certificate authenticated by mother", "I have corrected birth name check birth certificate".

It would be helpful if you could read Conflict of interest. You should also look at WP:PRIMARY, as you appear to be seeking to use primary sources. On Wikipedia, we much prefer secondary sources, see Identifying reliable sources for more. Even if the cited reliable sources used in these articles are wrong, we have to prefer them, unless you can point us to other sources that contradict them. Thus, I will have to revert your edits once again. Edwardx (talk) 10:43, 19 April 2017 (UTC)

Notice of Conflict of interest noticeboard discussion
There is currently a discussion at Conflict of interest/Noticeboard regarding a possible conflict of interest incident with which you may be involved. Thank you. Edwardx (talk) 10:40, 21 April 2017 (UTC)

April 2017
Please do not add or change content, as you did at Darcey Bussell, without citing a reliable source. Please review the guidelines at Citing sources and take this opportunity to add references to the article. Wikipedia's verifiability policy requires that published'' sources should be used in article. In the case of the Bussell article, The Guardian ran a news story about her that gives her full name. To change the name, we'd need other journalistic sources, not just claims about her birth certificate.'' —C.Fred (talk) 20:42, 22 April 2017 (UTC)

Please stop adding unsourced content, as you did to John Crittle. This contravenes Wikipedia's policy on verifiability. If you continue to do so, you may be blocked from editing Wikipedia. If you think there is a problem with the fact-checking of the Guardian'' story, you need to explain that in the article talk page and provide multiple published reliable sources that support your change. Otherwise, we'll go with the Guardian writers and editorial staff's research.'' —C.Fred (talk) 18:01, 29 April 2017 (UTC)

Birth certificates are not permissible sources
Regarding this edit: please read WP:BLPPRIMARY, which is unambiguous in stating that a birth certificate may not be cited as a source. —C.Fred (talk) 23:20, 5 May 2017 (UTC)
 * If you think that The Guardian have made a mistake, why not email them? They have a good reputation for correcting errors. If The Guardian were to change their article, we could change the text here on Wikipedia. Edwardx (talk) 21:53, 6 May 2017 (UTC)

If, as you claim, you have forwarded the birth certificate on for consideration as a source and a member of the Volunteer Response Team has not changed the article, then I can only assume that they have rejected the birth certificate as a source, based on the policies already mentioned here. —C.Fred (talk) 18:12, 28 April 2019 (UTC)

Your recent editing history at Darcey Bussell shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war; that means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be, when you have seen that other editors disagree. 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 you 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. —C.Fred (talk) 11:44, 29 April 2019 (UTC)


 * Regarding the claim that you have scanned a birth certificate: do you have a ticket number so I can ask a member of the Volunteer Response Team what the status of the ticket is? We cannot change the article on the claim of a birth certificate unless a VRT member reviews the document and changes the article, referencing the ticket number. —C.Fred (talk) 00:28, 30 April 2019 (UTC)

You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you add unsourced material to Wikipedia, as you did at Darcey Bussell. ''We cannot accept your unproven claim that Bussell's birth certificate shows a name other than the one that appears in the article. You have been repeatedly told that Wikipedia has policies in place that require published reliable sources and that discourage the use of a birth certificate as a direct source. You have further been advised that if you feel the source from The Guardian is in error, then you need to contact them to make a correction. However, you have kept changing the article. If you are unwilling to follow Wikipedia's guidelines, then your ability to edit Wikipedia will need to be curtailed.'' —C.Fred (talk) 19:43, 6 May 2019 (UTC)

You have been blocked from editing for a period of 72 hours for persistently adding unsourced or poorly sourced content. Once the block has expired, you are welcome to make useful contributions.

 * Once your block expired, you immediately returned to editing Darcey Bussell, making the same unsourced changes. You may not change her birth name without citing a published reliable source that other editors may verify. If you keep making the same edits, your account will have to be blocked for a longer duration of time to prevent further disruption. —C.Fred (talk) 12:05, 16 May 2019 (UTC)


 * Let me be clear about the birth certificate issue: you may not change the birth name based on a birth certificate. If the Volunteer Response Team member deems the certificate is a sufficient source, they will make the change. Please do not try to change the page again stating that you forwarded a birth certificate. As I stated before, the fact that they have not changed the page tells me that the VRT do not accept the certificate as a source. —C.Fred (talk) 16:28, 16 May 2019 (UTC)

 * What part of the directions that you should not change the birth name of Darcey Bussell without citing a published reliable source was unclear to you? —C.Fred (talk) 22:05, 15 June 2019 (UTC)
