Hebburn

Hello. Your recent edit to Hebburn appears to have added the name of a non-notable entity to a list that normally includes only notable entries. In general, a person, organization or product added to a list should have a pre-existing article before being added to most lists. If you wish to create such an article, please first confirm that the subject qualifies for a separate, stand-alone article according to Wikipedia's notability guideline. Thank you. - Arjayay (talk) 11:27, 10 December 2021 (UTC)

Clearly, if a newspaper of record like the Times of London thinks you warrant an obituary you are 'notable'.To exclude him because of some silly bureaucratic Wike 'rule' is nonsensical, and wholly against the spirit of an online encyclopedia with pretensions to comprehensiveness.

September 2022

Please do not add or change content, as you did at Andrew Lansley, without citing a reliable source. Please review the guidelines at Wikipedia:Citing sources and take this opportunity to add references to the article. Thank you. - Arjayay (talk) 13:10, 24 September 2022 (UTC)

I am the reliable source. Andrew told me this at dinner in Brussels last Wednesday. I checked it out and it's true. The only other person who was both the the private Secretary to a Cabinet Minister and subsequently a Cabinet Minister, was not an elected politician, he was appointed by Churchill during the war. So, he's right. Dominiclagan (talk) 07:59, 25 September 2022 (UTC)

Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to add unsourced or poorly sourced content, as you did at Andrew Lansley, you may be blocked from editing.

Wikipedia is not interested in you are, what you "think", what you "know", what you "have been told", or even what you have "researched".
:Wikipedia is only interested in what has already been published in reliable, independent sources, published by a body with a reputation for fact-checking - No blogs, no self-published sources, no bodies with a conflict of interest, no promotional sites, no vanity publishers and no predatory publishers.
These sources must be properly cited, in order to support any additions to, or changes in, Wikipedia pages, so the information can be verified as true at any time in the future.
The responsibility for providing citations is solely on whoever adds or changes any information, to provide references from reliable sources that support those additions or changes.
You are repeatedly failing to do this, which is why your edits have been, and will continue to be, reverted, until you do add proper references - Arjayay (talk) 10:34, 25 September 2022 (UTC)

This is exactly people dislike Wiki

It run by arrogant and ignorant people who have no interest in history, just their petty power trips Dominiclagan (talk) 11:25, 25 September 2022 (UTC)

and btw how can it be 'poorly sourced' when it came from the horse's mouth?!!!!!!!!! Dominiclagan (talk) 11:26, 25 September 2022 (UTC)

Copying within Wikipedia requires attribution

Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you copied or moved text from one or more pages into The Wooden Horse. While you are welcome to re-use Wikipedia's content, here or elsewhere, Wikipedia's licensing does require that you provide attribution to the original contributor(s). When copying within Wikipedia, this is supplied at minimum in an edit summary at the page into which you've copied content, disclosing the copying and linking to the copied page, e.g., copied content from [[page name]]; see that page's history for attribution. It is good practice, especially if copying is extensive, to also place a properly formatted {{copied}} template on the talk pages of the source and destination. Please provide attribution for this duplication if it has not already been supplied by another editor, and if you have copied material between pages before, even if it was a long time ago, you should provide attribution for that also. You can read more about the procedure and the reasons at Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia. Thank you. DanCherek (talk) 17:13, 5 February 2023 (UTC)

OK, let's forget it. I thought it might improve the encyclopaedia, but clearly that is not the object of Wikipedia, or its editors Dominiclagan (talk) 17:20, 5 February 2023 (UTC)
