Nice article. Now needs more - sources, content! KJP1 (talk) 11:10, 16 January 2018 (UTC)
 * If you use {sfn}, far and away the best referencing method, you don't need to Cite book in the text. Just reuse sfn...., changing the page numbers as appropriate. You'll see what I mean with 4a and b. KJP1 (talk) 11:19, 16 January 2018 (UTC)
 * My pleasure. One other suggestion. If it were me, which it isn't so you can ignore, I'd take all the books that are in references, move them to Sources, cite them as per the OUP, and then use sfn for the inline cites. You can see what I mean, here, Cragside. Happy to walk you through it, if needed. KJP1 (talk) 11:40, 16 January 2018 (UTC)

Isn't anyone listening?
You wrote "Cross is being widely held up as an example of a blatantly politically motivated editor whose prolific and one-sided edits have been tolerated for years. So Wikipedia looks at best complacent and at worst biased itself."

Well, Cross's user page was blanked, but I can show people what was on there, through the View History tab. Clearly Wikipedia ... has been caught with their pants around their ankles, and like you said perfectly, complacent at best, and biased at worst, and hypocritical to readers. This is an opportunity to actually do something to improve Wikipedia's standing, but I really think the opportunity is lost, in all the crappy politics.

I agree with you, and quit contributing over 10 years ago because of this type of thing, however, now something I know about, ( see how to find errors in Wikipedia ) has been compromised, and nothing is being done.

This is what others have written: "I cite these not as WP:RS, but to illustrate that the Cross-Galloway fracas is spreading from Twitter, and threatens to damage the credibility of Wikipedia in the public eye." Which is easy enough to find.

BUT in all the mess, Cross was awarded TWO barn stars for his biased work, and self admitted COI, for which even after he admitted it, he was cleared. SO ... is someone lying? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2001:558:6045:56:A494:E24D:2C11:BD29 (talk) 11:18, 23 May 2018 (UTC)

Apparently someone was listening, so AFTER, Cross edited the article again, "Old Habits die hard" The article on George Galloway was locked, but the amount of bias, and hearsay is amazing. Mr Galloway has a lot of ammunition considering he won 2 libel lawsuits against the press for a few million. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2001:558:6045:56:A494:E24D:2C11:BD29 (talk) 21:19, 21 July 2018 (UTC)

How to find errors in Wikipedia
Hit the 'Random article' tab, until you find an article about something you know about. Read the Article, and find at least 3 factual errors. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2001:558:6045:56:A494:E24D:2C11:BD29 (talk) 11:18, 23 May 2018 (UTC)

How to fix errors in Wikipedia
You cannot. The error and omissions culture is that anyone who yells the loudest, wins, certainly not any thing related to real world evidence. Do I have a citation for that? Millions. 10s of millions. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2001:558:6045:56:A494:E24D:2C11:BD29 (talk) 11:18, 23 May 2018 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for October 4
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Quantock Hills, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page National Farmers Union ([//dispenser.info.tm/~dispenser/cgi-bin/dablinks.py/Quantock_Hills check to confirm] | [//dispenser.info.tm/~dispenser/cgi-bin/dab_solver.py/Quantock_Hills?client=notify fix with Dab solver]). Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ* Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

File permission problem with File:Tickner-Edwardes.jpg
Thanks for uploading File:Tickner-Edwardes.jpg. I noticed that while you provided a valid copyright licensing tag, there is no proof that the creator of the file has agreed to release it under the given license.

If you are the copyright holder for this media entirely yourself but have previously published it elsewhere (especially online), please either
 * make a note permitting reuse under the CC-BY-SA or another acceptable free license (see this list) at the site of the original publication; or
 * Send an email from an address associated with the original publication to permissions-en@wikimedia.org, stating your ownership of the material and your intention to publish it under a free license. You can find a sample permission letter here. If you take this step, add permission pending to the file description page to prevent premature deletion.

If you did not create it entirely yourself, please ask the person who created the file to take one of the two steps listed above, or if the owner of the file has already given their permission to you via email, please forward that email to permissions-en@wikimedia.org.

If you believe the media meets the criteria at Non-free content, use a tag such as non-free fair use or one of the other tags listed at File copyright tags, and add a rationale justifying the file's use on the article or articles where it is included. See File copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have provided evidence that their copyright owners have agreed to license their works under the tags you supplied, too. You can find a list of files you have created in [ your upload log]. Files lacking evidence of permission may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described in section F11 of the criteria for speedy deletion. You may wish to read Wikipedia's image use policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

''' This bot DID NOT nominate any of your contributions for deletion; please refer to the history of each individual page for details. ''' Thanks, FastilyBot (talk) 09:00, 29 October 2022 (UTC)


 * The CC licence for this at the NPG was non-commercial and Wikipedia has a bizarre policy of rejecting such. In such cases, I recommend loading the image as fair-use and I have reinstated it on that basis.  See File:Tickner Edwardes.png for details.  Note that I cropped the image to remove the distorted part. Andrew🐉(talk) 12:01, 5 November 2022 (UTC)

DYK
Having come across the article at NPP, I have moved it on to DYK. I have been responding to the reviewer but please feel free to chip in too. It seems to be going reasonably well and so you should expect a DYK credit in due course. Andrew🐉(talk) 12:00, 5 November 2022 (UTC)

December 2023 comment
I noticed you recently added a comment to the talk page of the criminal deportation article without leaving an edit summary. In doing so, you inadvertently changed the existing talk page content, causing a talk page banner to be damaged. If you start a new comment thread on a talk page, the best way to do this is to add a new section under a brief heading that describes your comment. If you click on the add section tab at the top of the talk page, this happens automatically, without the risk of you inadvertently modifying any existing talk page content, as might happen if you edit a talk page directly. - Cameron Dewe (talk) 21:10, 15 December 2023 (UTC)
