Hi! Welcome to Wikipedia and thank you for your changes to Plymouth and Culture of Plymouth, some of which have nicely tidied up clumsy wording and some irrelevant content. However, I hope you realise that these articles are in a state of flux at present, and your removal of content such as the "Green spaces" section is rather premature, especially since on Plymouth's talk page I have just recommended that the information there should be transplanted to another section. Remember that there is no prohibition on the amount of information in an article, as long as it can be verified. Happy to discuss - your comments would be welcome on Talk:Plymouth.  —SMALLJIM  19:13, 14 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for being bold and deleting a great deal of content from Plymouth this evening. Similar to the edits that you made yesterday, I think you have done both good and bad, so I hope you will understand if I revert a number of your changes. Wikipedia is supposed to be a collaborative effort, so it would be polite to engage in discussion before making such large deletions. Both I and the other editors who are interested in this article will be happy to discuss changes with you on Talk:Plymouth.  —SMALLJIM  00:59, 16 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Your edits of 17 February 2008[edit]

In agreeance with the editor above. If you are removing large sections of the article, I would recommend discussing changes instead of unilaterally removing them. I would also tone down the "backhanded attacks" on other editors in your edit summary. --Madchester (talk) 17:55, 17 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks again for your vigorous editing of Plymouth. If you really don't want to discuss before making significant changes I can live with that, but please read the comments I've provided in my edit summaries where I've undone your changes, and don't change those parts again without giving valid reasons for doing so. I've commented to your message on the article's talk page too. If you're new here and intend to stay, please note that there are numerous policies and guidelines for editors, and I'd suggest that you take the time to gain an overview of them, because if you start editing other articles in the way you've edited Plymouth, you'll find that not all editors are as tolerant as I am. Wikipedia:Five pillars is a good place to start learning about how Wikipedia works. In particular, as Madchester suggests above, labelling another editor's good faith work as "awful" or "gibberish" is a breach of civility here.  —SMALLJIM  12:08, 18 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

It seems that this is not the place for me so I graciously withdraw.

Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did to Plymouth. Your edits appear to constitute vandalism and have been reverted. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. Thank you.  —SMALLJIM  18:23, 22 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
