Sport in England
I notice all the material you've been adding at England - which is great, but will raise issues of giving too much prominence to details, given that the article is supposed to summarise everything about England. It might be better if you added more details at Sport in England - where there are new sections needed - and then it would be possible to summarise them better in the main England article itself. And don't forget to add reliable sources wherever you can, as well. Ghmyrtle (talk) 10:43, 8 November 2013 (UTC)
 * No problem, thanks - though we do need to get the balance right, so that football, say, is treated more prominently than, for example Formula 1 or darts.

I still don't think you're going about this the right way. The main article on sport in England is.... Sport in England - but I don't see you making any edits there. It is that article that is the one that needs to be expanded, or at least improved. A summary of the most important aspects should then be at the England article - but, in my view you are doing it the wrong way round. Ghmyrtle (talk) 11:56, 14 November 2013 (UTC)

I take your point. I intend on adding content to the Sport in England. Just because I haven't yet doesn't mean that I'm not going to. Stufroguk (talk) 12:06, 14 November 2013 Your recent editing history at England shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war. Being involved in an edit war can result in your 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.

To avoid being blocked, instead of reverting please consider using the article's talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. See BRD for how this is done. You can post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection. . PS: You need to discuss this on the article talk page, not try to have a discussion via reversions and edit summaries. Ghmyrtle (talk) 10:09, 19 November 2013 (UTC)
 * As I said - please make your comments on the article talk page - not in edit summaries - so that other editors can contribute to the discussion. Ghmyrtle (talk) 11:47, 19 November 2013 (UTC)

This was all sorted in the end via the power of democratic discussion, education, acceptance, and understanding. The page is much better now and was partially reduced and content moved to where it should be. Still a few errors on there but will edit those as soon as possible. - Stufroguk (talk) 16:40, 11 December 2013 (UTC)

Thanks. sorry just responded via your talk page before I saw this message. I managed to draft and add all the edits you requested apart from the logo. I don't quite understand the image tool, it rejects a talk or edit page, only accepts published encyclopaedic entry. thanks. - Stufroguk (talk) 16:37, 11 December 2013 (UTC)

Thanks for uploading File:Holly Bank Trust Logo.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

Managing a conflict of interest
Hello, Stufroguk. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about on Wikipedia, you may have a conflict of interest (COI). Editors with a conflict of interest may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic. See the conflict of interest guideline and FAQ for organizations for more information. We ask that you:


 * avoid editing or creating articles about yourself, your family, friends, colleagues, company, organization or competitors;
 * propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (you can use the request edit template);
 * disclose your conflict of interest when discussing affected articles (see Conflict of interest);
 * avoid linking to your organization's website in other articles (see WP:Spam);
 * do your best to comply with Wikipedia's content policies.

In addition, you are required by the Wikimedia Foundation's terms of use to disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution which forms all or part of work for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation. See Paid-contribution disclosure.

Also, editing for the purpose of advertising, publicising, or promoting anyone or anything is not permitted. Thank you. Praxidicae (talk) 19:50, 20 November 2019 (UTC)

Concern regarding Draft:Value Lights
Hello, Stufroguk. This is a bot-delivered message letting you know that Draft:Value Lights, a page you created, has not been edited in at least 5 months. Draft space is not an indefinite storage location for content that is not appropriate for article space.

If your submission is not edited soon, it could be nominated for deletion under CSD G13. If you would like to attempt to save it, you will need to improve it. You may request userfication of the content if it meets requirements.

If the deletion has already occured, instructions on how you may be able to retrieve it are available here.

Disputed non-free use rationale for File:Nationalrail.co.uk homepage 2022.jpg
Thank you for uploading File:Nationalrail.co.uk homepage 2022.jpg. However, there is a concern that the rationale provided for using this file on Wikipedia may not meet the criteria required by Non-free content. This can be corrected by going to the file description page and adding or clarifying the reason why the file qualifies under this policy. Adding and completing one of the templates available from Non-free use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your file is in compliance with Wikipedia policy. Please be aware that a non-free use rationale is not the same as an image copyright tag; descriptions for files used under the non-free content policy require both a copyright tag and a non-free use rationale.

If it is determined that the file does not qualify under the non-free content policy, it might be deleted by an administrator seven days after the file was tagged in accordance with section F7 of the criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions, please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you. Seawolf35 T--C 16:50, 1 December 2023 (UTC)
