List of people from Bedford
Hi Zedzoom! Let me be the first to welcome you to Wikipedia. I appreciate your interest in adding content to the list of people from Bedford! However, I've removed some of the entries you added, because they didn't quite match the list's criteria - the list covers people from the town of Bedford only, not all of Bedfordshire. There used to be a general list at the Bedfordshire article, but it looks like it was moved to the talk page (Talk:Bedfordshire) because there was a concern that the area was too broad. Can I suggest adding further Bedfordshire residents to the articles on their respective towns?

For example, you could create a "Notable people" section in the Bromham, Bedfordshire article and add Matt Berry under it. I can help with that if you're not quite sure how. I'll keep an eye on this page so feel free to respond here if you have questions :) &spades;PMC&spades; (talk) 11:08, 24 July 2019 (UTC)

Oh my most humble apologies! I thought this was a page created by Wikitree by a previous Bedfordshire team leader for all Bedfordshire Notables. I have slapped my wrist and won't do it again! Zedzoom (talk) 09:49, 25 July 2019 (UTC)
 * Ah, no need for wrist slapping, it's a reasonable mistake :) Not sure what you mean by Wikitree though, is that maybe a different site? &spades;PMC&spades; (talk) 09:52, 25 July 2019 (UTC)

Yes, it's a family tree site that is attempting to make a global family tree. We don't just work on our own trees, we work as an enormous team of over a million members. England is divided into teams, and I am the team leader for Bedfordshire. https://www.wikitree.com/index.php?title=Space:Bedfordshire_Team&public=1 Zedzoom (talk) 10:15, 25 July 2019 (UTC)
 * Oh, that must be quite the project! It always blows my mind what people do with the collaborative/wiki model. We operate a bit differently here - I created that list, but don't have a particular connection to Bedford/Bedfordshire, I was just trying to organize some poorly-linked articles. What brought you over to Wikipedia? &spades;PMC&spades; (talk) 10:25, 25 July 2019 (UTC)

The previous team leader created a list of Bedfordshire Notables herself and also added a link to the Wikipedia page of notables, and a team member was asking me to add people he knew about, being from Luton and into sport. I first registered to edit Wikipedia many years ago when I found an anachronistic claim about the Great Bed of Ware being mentioned in Chaucer, but hadn't used the edit facility since, until I started messing up the Bedford Notables page ;).

 * Ahh, gotcha. Well, there's always lots to do here if you wind up sticking around. Drop me a line on my talk page if you have any questions or need any help with anything - link's right at the end of my signature. &spades;PMC&spades; (talk) 10:53, 25 July 2019 (UTC)
