User talk:Stone Stockton

October 2013
ATTENTION -- Regarding your recent edit to Stone Phillips, I've reverted your change back to the proper name. I suspect you might be the same person who changed it on October 22nd using IP 71.71.93.139 and again on October 24 using the registered name Stockton16. As I explained on that IP talk page, according to a highly reliable source often used for multiple other Wikipedia articles, Phillips first name is indeed "Lester". The use of "Stone", although used most all his life and found on other articles, is simply a nickname. Please do not attempt to change it again. I've opened the subject up for further discussion on the articles talk page if you wish to offer a valid reason for your continued removal, with supporting reference.

 * P.S. -- Here is a link to the on-line version of the source for "Lester" as the first name. http://www.missourilegends.com/media-and-journalism/stone-phillips/ I used the book verion but they are word-for-word the same. You will clearly see in the 2nd paragraph under the heading "The Early Years" that Stone Phillips birth name was Lester Stockton Phillips. Sector001 (talk) 07:01, 25 October 2013 (UTC)

- Hello, I'm Sector001. I noticed that you recently removed some content without explaining why. In the future, it would be helpful to others if you described your changes to Wikipedia with an edit summary. If this was a mistake, don't worry: I restored the removed content. If you would like to experiment, you can use the sandbox. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks!

This is your first warning. Please stop your disruptive editing to the Stone Phillips article. If you can provide valid reason for removal, post it on the article's talk page so a consensus of editors may be reached. Edit warring is not the answer to this situation. If you do not know the Wikipedia rules and guidelines please learn them before continuing to edit. Thank you. Sector001 (talk) 07:09, 25 October 2013 (UTC)
