Resignation[edit]

Moved from User talk:DeFacto

Hi, just saying that Benton was appointed as Crown Steward and Bailiff of the Manor of Northstead, so unsure as to why you kept reverting that page DimensionalFusion (talk) 19:14, 25 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@DimensionalFusion, without that having happened he was still an MP. The article did not contain that essential detail, so per WP:BLP I reverted. If you knew that it had been completed, why didn't you add it to the artcle? -- DeFacto (talk). 19:22, 25 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

It was in the other article

DimensionalFusion (talk) 19:25, 25 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@DimensionalFusion, which other article? -- DeFacto (talk). 19:28, 25 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I didn't feel that including the arcane appointment to bailiff was pertinent to the article

Other article was Crown Steward and Bailiff of the Manor of Northstead

@DimensionalFusion, that's the essential detail though which confirmed that he had actually ceased to be an MP. It's there now though, so all is well. -- DeFacto (talk). 19:36, 25 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Awesome, thanks
