Hello Ritchie333, could I trouble you for a revisit of the issue of sources at the Reculver FAC? Things have moved on a bit, and Ian Rose has asked for further input from you. [1] As things stand, hamiltonstone supports, Hchc2009 opposes, and I'm baffled! But there remain a couple of ways I can take things forward, and I'd very much appreciate it if you'd review developments since you last commented (per the first diff above, here it is again) and give your view, which I think I'd better take as final. This would help me decide how to proceed, and I'd be very grateful for it. Of course, if you'd rather not, then I apologise for the intrusion! Cheers. Nortonius ( talk) 13:08, 28 June 2014 (UTC)

Hi Ritchie, I noticed that you commented on the peer review for future-FAC Katy Perry. As you're an experienced editor aware of the FA criteria, I was wondering if you could copyedit or give me some suggestions on the "Writing and recording"/"Composition" sections of my sandbox, on which I'm restructuring Trouble (Natalia Kills album), an article which I've been improving since September 2013. I think your suggestions would greatly improve the chances of getting my first FA! Thank you in advance, and no worries if you don't want to. :) pedro | talk 19:44, 5 July 2014 (UTC)

Hi Richie333,
Thanks for your note about HiQ Easy Tyre and Autocentres and there are a few points I want to raise with everyone.
Firstly, we are still building out the content as we learn so would appreciate a little bit of help and patience from everyone rather than just people saying delete pages.
Secondly, the HiQ brand is owned by Goodyear Dunlop but operates under a number of regional sub brands - HiQ is the national brand a Easy Tyre is the sub brand. So it is comparable with the likes of Kwik Fit.
Thirdly, it is slightly against the idea behind Wikipedia to only focus on the 'big brands' especially when we have a lot of local interest content that is being built into the pages with external references.
It is also worth noting that we are getting a lot of issues with people taking over the digital presence of Easy Tyre & Autocentres who do not actually own the brand - this is happening on a lot of social networks and obviously Wikipedia is something where people can get the right information on the brand, ownership and other important information.
Always happy to talk and love feedback on how to improve things.

Sadly most wiki articles are like the way it was. I was just browsing through some of the London tube stations, major ones like Piccadilly and Leicester Square and could not believe they weren't decent. Given how much traffic the articles must get you'd think "somebody" would care.♦ Dr. Blofeld 21:13, 3 July 2014 (UTC)
Since you're here, here's a pop quiz for you. Let's say you're stewarding one of these album articles, and in the space of 24 hours, four separate IPs add edits in good faith but make the article worse. Adding genres, changing track times, changing British to American spelling, adding non-notable unrelated trivia such as a fan recording. All totally unsourced, of course. Let's say you catch and revert all four of them. Now, at that point, you've broken WP:3RR. The IPs are long gone, their addresses recycled, and the talk page just has your one post pointing to a laundry list of policies. You can't discuss, and you may well feel the next IP edit merits reverting. So an admin can legitimately block you. How do you extract yourself from that situation? Ritchie333 (talk) (cont) 09:10, 4 July 2014 (UTC)
Report it and ask several other people to revert until the ips are blocked?♦ Dr. Blofeld 17:02, 4 July 2014 (UTC)
I've added an infobox and done a few tweaks. The website in the EL section looks useful for expanding the article. Do you have access to The Times archive online? Mjroots ( talk) 21:34, 8 July 2014 (UTC)
Would be great I think to get both to GA. I think Hyde Park would be the tougher of the two and has a great deal more material to cover. Obviously Hyde Park is a key article not only for London but for UK music too. Probably easier to do Kensington first.♦ Dr. Blofeld 18:12, 9 July 2014 (UTC)

Hi,
You have reverted my corrections to the Dartford Crossing page for reasons I don't understand. You simply note "too much falsification of sources", whereas I was simply correcting relatively trivial errors. For example: "The crossing has always been tolled" - not correct; there has not been a toll at the crossing since 2003 "Charge for motorcycle w. Dart Tag - Free" - not correct, Motorcycles cannot use Dart Tag - the charge is not defined.
Could you explain what you disliked about my corrections?

I added two things to the Keith Moon page. Being that was my first time ever adding to a page i coudnt understand why my stuff kept getting deleted so that's why i kept putting it back. Im a huge Keith fan and i know the two things I put were 100% accurate, and i didnt know how to add the source. If you yourself googled my two contributions you would see that they are facts and not speculations. Zak Starkey was infact Keiths Godson and brought him his first drum kit when he was a kid, and taught him to play. Keith was actually closer with Zak than he was his own daughter due to Kim leaving him, Mandy Moon didnt know her father very well. Fact number two was Keith did infact pay a thug 200 pounds to break Ian McLagans fingers (To ruin his career, since he played the keyboard) because he hated the fact Ian took Kim from him, he always loved Kim. Pete Townsend heard what Keith done and paid the thug another 200 pounds not to carry it out. Ironically the "Thug" that was hired was the driver for the Small Faces so Ian knew him very well and was very grateful to Pete for helping him because Ian said the guy was a nut. Now like i said it could be googled and you can see it was all facts, i being new, and lastnight being the first time using it, i innocently kept putting it back because i thought my two things were great contributions and thought i was doing it wrong. I dont know where or how to put the references. I seen your message that im being watched and could be blocked, why? Bcause i was a misinformed, and an unsure user who was just trying to add cool peices of Info? I dont even no if i wrote this out right. Im sure theyll be a problem with this too im sure. — Preceding unsigned comment added by GIGLmoon ( talk • contribs) 07:57, 24 July 2014 (UTC)

Firstly, we are still building out the content as we learn so would appreciate a little bit of help and patience from everyone rather than just people saying delete pages.
Secondly, the HiQ brand is owned by Goodyear Dunlop but operates under a number of regional sub brands - HiQ is the national brand a Easy Tyre is the sub brand. So it is comparable with the likes of Kwik Fit.
Thirdly, it is slightly against the idea behind Wikipedia to only focus on the 'big brands' especially when we have a lot of local interest content that is being built into the pages with external references.
It is also worth noting that we are getting a lot of issues with people taking over the digital presence of Easy Tyre & Autocentres who do not actually own the brand - this is happening on a lot of social networks and obviously Wikipedia is something where people can get the right information on the brand, ownership and other important information.
Always happy to talk and love feedback on how to improve things.

LMAO. I have a theory that eventually all of my childhood TV heroes of the 70s and 80s will eventually all turn out to be "kiddy tamperers". Even Timmy Mallet's Pinky Punky will be in court before long!! Superb work Ritchie on Denmark Street BTW, amazing how much it's come long in such a short space of time, Most impressed! Hopefully it'll pass GA tomorrow.♦ Dr. Blofeld 21:02, 3 July 2014 (UTC)
Sadly most wiki articles are like the way it was. I was just browsing through some of the London tube stations, major ones like Piccadilly and Leicester Square and could not believe they weren't decent. Given how much traffic the articles must get you'd think "somebody" would care.♦ Dr. Blofeld 21:13, 3 July 2014 (UTC)
Since you're here, here's a pop quiz for you. Let's say you're stewarding one of these album articles, and in the space of 24 hours, four separate IPs add edits in good faith but make the article worse. Adding genres, changing track times, changing British to American spelling, adding non-notable unrelated trivia such as a fan recording. All totally unsourced, of course. Let's say you catch and revert all four of them. Now, at that point, you've broken WP:3RR. The IPs are long gone, their addresses recycled, and the talk page just has your one post pointing to a laundry list of policies. You can't discuss, and you may well feel the next IP edit merits reverting. So an admin can legitimately block you. How do you extract yourself from that situation? Ritchie333 (talk) (cont) 09:10, 4 July 2014 (UTC)
Report it and ask several other people to revert until the ips are blocked?♦ Dr. Blofeld 17:02, 4 July 2014 (UTC)
I've added an infobox and done a few tweaks. The website in the EL section looks useful for expanding the article. Do you have access to The Times archive online? Mjroots ( talk) 21:34, 8 July 2014 (UTC)
Would be great I think to get both to GA. I think Hyde Park would be the tougher of the two and has a great deal more material to cover. Obviously Hyde Park is a key article not only for London but for UK music too. Probably easier to do Kensington first.♦ Dr. Blofeld 18:12, 9 July 2014 (UTC)
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Hyde Park, London, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Robert Grosvenor. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

You put an NPOV tag on this tiny stub. Quite apart from the fact that you should be trying to improve articles and not just slapping tags on them, you have left the tag on the article for 2 years. Please stop. Please try to improve an article, rather than just putting tags on them; please go back and check the tags that you place to see if the issues have been addressed; and please remove the tags if they are no longer needed.
Your edits to the article linked above were good faith, but not constructive.

Hi,
You have reverted my corrections to the Dartford Crossing page for reasons I don't understand. You simply note "too much falsification of sources", whereas I was simply correcting relatively trivial errors. For example: "The crossing has always been tolled" - not correct; there has not been a toll at the crossing since 2003 "Charge for motorcycle w. Dart Tag - Free" - not correct, Motorcycles cannot use Dart Tag - the charge is not defined.
Could you explain what you disliked about my corrections?
Thanks, Dartfordian ( talk) 09:03, 19 July 2014 (UTC)

I added two things to the Keith Moon page. Being that was my first time ever adding to a page i coudnt understand why my stuff kept getting deleted so that's why i kept putting it back. Im a huge Keith fan and i know the two things I put were 100% accurate, and i didnt know how to add the source. If you yourself googled my two contributions you would see that they are facts and not speculations. Zak Starkey was infact Keiths Godson and brought him his first drum kit when he was a kid, and taught him to play. Keith was actually closer with Zak than he was his own daughter due to Kim leaving him, Mandy Moon didnt know her father very well. Fact number two was Keith did infact pay a thug 200 pounds to break Ian McLagans fingers (To ruin his career, since he played the keyboard) because he hated the fact Ian took Kim from him, he always loved Kim. Pete Townsend heard what Keith done and paid the thug another 200 pounds not to carry it out. Ironically the "Thug" that was hired was the driver for the Small Faces so Ian knew him very well and was very grateful to Pete for helping him because Ian said the guy was a nut. Now like i said it could be googled and you can see it was all facts, i being new, and lastnight being the first time using it, i innocently kept putting it back because i thought my two things were great contributions and thought i was doing it wrong. I dont know where or how to put the references. I seen your message that im being watched and could be blocked, why? Bcause i was a misinformed, and an unsure user who was just trying to add cool peices of Info? I dont even no if i wrote this out right. Im sure theyll be a problem with this too im sure. — Preceding unsigned comment added by GIGLmoon ( talk • contribs) 07:57, 24 July 2014 (UTC)

I saw your post on the IP's talk page. After following this argument the better part of the year, I honestly believe there is no reasoning with him. The debate has been declared dead barring significant new information, and none was provided. This is not the first time they've been blocked for their disruption, and I daresay it won't be the last.
