May I ask why you made a seemingly destructive reversion of my changes on the Charitable organization page? Both to the list of regulators which was very incomplete and is now again, and also to remove the link to the Charity regulators page from the See Also section? Although I am aware that a suggestion has been made to convert the list of regulators to prose (personally I cannot see this would add clarity), I do not think reverting addtions to make the current list more comprehensive and indeed accurate (in reflecting the current names of the regulators which were outdated: for instance the Charities Directorate of Canada is simply not called the Canada Revenue Agency anymore) is constructive at all. Without a better explanation than "everted insertion of multiple inline external links" this simply looks unecessarily disruptive. Looking forward to your explanation. -- Mlevitt1 ( talk) 18:09, 30 December 2020 (UTC)

Hi Chris, thank you for doing a search for some sources for this article! Would you be able to point me towards some that you found? I'm struggling to find much of anything. Thanks. Liam McM 17:40, 17 January 2021 (UTC)
Hello again Dr Williams. Long time no speak. I have to vehemently disagree with you with your recent edits to articles I have edited. WP:INFOBOXPURPOSE discusses the inclusion of key facts rather than elected offices. If it did, then no UK Shadow Cabinet post would have an infobox post either. We do so because these are key facts for both UK and Scottish politicians. Alex ( talk) 23:27, 29 January 2021 (UTC)
Now, when considering how information on spokesperson posts is wikified, this not a natural sequence of replacing someone, so- for example consider for example how attempting to fit spokesperson roles consistently into MSP Infoboxes might work, consider for example Jackie Baillie's previous roles [3]. She has had 1 MSP seat, 2 ministerial roles, 3 convener roles, 1 deputy convener, 2 deputy party spokesperson roles, 1 chief of staff, 10 party spokesperson roles, 1 Acting convener role, 1 deputy leader role There are only 16 offices that can be listed in an Infobox. Even though fitting MSP, ministerial, deputy leader, chif of staff and party spokesperson roles is possible this would become a massive size. Your current plan doesn't appear to include consistency across parties or timespans. Drchriswilliams ( talk) 09:01, 31 January 2021 (UTC)
Round 1 of the competition has finished; it was a high-scoring round with 21 contestants scoring more than 100 points. Everyone with a positive score moves on to Round 2, with 55 contestants qualifying. You will need to finish among the top thirty-two contestants in Round 2 if you are to qualify for Round 3. Our top scorers in Round 1 were:
These contestants, like all the others, now have to start again from scratch. In Round 1, contestants achieved eight featured articles, three featured lists and one featured picture, as well as around two hundred DYKs and twenty-seven ITNs. They completed 97 good article reviews, nearly double the 52 good articles they claimed. Contestants also claimed for 135 featured article and featured list candidate reviews. There is no longer a requirement to mention your WikiCup participation when undertaking these reviews.
Remember that any content promoted after the end of Round 1 but before the start of Round 2 can be claimed in Round 2. Invitations for collaborative writing efforts or any other discussion of potentially interesting work is always welcome on the WikiCup talk page. Remember, if two or more WikiCup competitors have done significant work on an article, all can claim points. If you are concerned that your nomination—whether it is a good article candidate, a featured process, or something else—will not receive the necessary reviews, please list it on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews.
If you want to help out with the WikiCup, please do your bit to keep down the review backlogs!

Hiya, would you be able to offer an opinion on the draft PICT Team page ( /info/en/?search=Draft:Highland_PICT_Team ), I don't want to make it live until its ready to go - but I'm not really experienced enough to know when somethings good enough.

The second round of the 2021 WikiCup has now finished; it was a high-scoring round and contestants needed 61 points to advance to Round 3. There were some impressive efforts in the round, with the top eight contestants all scoring more than 400 points. A large number of the points came from the 12 featured articles and the 110 good articles achieved in total by contestants, as well as the 216 good article reviews they performed; the GAN backlog drive and the stay-at-home imperative during the COVID-19 pandemic may have been partially responsible for these impressive figures.
Our top scorers in Round 2 were:
Please remember that DYKs cannot be claimed until they have appeared on the main page. As we enter the third round, any content promoted after the end of Round 2 but before the start of Round 3 can be claimed now, and anything you forgot to claim in Round 2 cannot! Remember too, that you must claim your points within 14 days of "earning" them (except for at the end of each round, when you must claim them before the cut-off date/time). When doing GARs, please make sure that you check that all the GA criteria are fully met.
If you are concerned that your nomination—whether it is at good article nominations, a featured process, or anything else—will not receive the necessary reviews, please list it on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews Needed (remember to remove your listing when no longer required). Questions are welcome on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup, and the judges are reachable on their talk pages or by email.

The third round of the 2021 WikiCup has now come to an end. Each of the sixteen contestants who made it into the fourth round had at least 294 points, and our top six scorers all had over 600 points. They were:
In round three, contestants achieved 19 featured articles, 7 featured lists, 106 featured article reviews, 72 good articles, 1 good topic, 62 good article reviews, 165 DYKs and 96 ITN items. We enter the fourth round with scores reset to zero; any content promoted after the end of round 3 but before the start of round 4 can be claimed in round 4. Please also remember that you must claim your points within 14 days of "earning" them (one contestant in round 3 lost out because of this). When doing GARs, please make sure that you check that all the GA criteria are fully met.

The fourth round of the competition has finished with over 500 points being required to qualify for the final round. It was a hotly competitive round with two contestants, The Rambling Man and Epicgenius, each scoring over 3000 points, and six contestants scoring over 1000. All but one of the finalists achieved one or more FAs during the round, the exception being Bloom6132 who demonstrated that 61 "in the news" items produces an impressive number of points. Other contestants who made it to the final are Gog the Mild, Lee Vilenski, BennyOnTheLoose, Amakuru and Hog Farm. However, all their points are now swept away and everyone starts afresh in the final round.
Round 4 saw the achievement of 18 featured articles and 157 good articles. Bilorv scored for a 25-article good topic on Black Mirror but narrowly missed out on qualifying for the final round. There was enthusiasm for FARs, with 89 being performed, and there were 63 GARs and around 100 DYKs during the round. As we start round 5, we say goodbye to the eight competitors who didn't quite make it to the final round; thank you for the useful contributions you have made to the Cup and Wikipedia, and we hope you will join us again next year. For other contestants, remember that any content promoted after the end of round 4 but before the start of round 5 can be claimed in round 5. Remember too that you must claim your points within 14 days of "earning" them.

The WikiCup is over for another year and the finalists can relax! Our Champion this year is The Rambling Man ( submissions), who amassed over 5000 points in the final round, achieving 8 featured articles and almost 500 reviews. It was a very competitive round; seven of the finalists achieved over 1000 points in the round (enough to win the 2019 contest), and three scored over 3000 (enough to win the 2020 event). Our 2021 finalists and their scores were:
All those who reached the final round will win awards. The following special awards will be made based on high performance in particular areas of content creation and review. Awards will be handed out in the next few days.
Congratulations to everyone who participated in this year's WikiCup, whether they made it to the final round or not, and particular congratulations to the newcomers to the WikiCup, some of whom did very well. Wikipedia has benefitted greatly from the quality creations, expansions and improvements made, and the numerous reviews performed. Thanks to all who have taken part and helped out with the competition, not forgetting User:Jarry1250, who runs the scoring bot.
If you have views on whether the rules or scoring need adjustment for next year's contest, please comment on the WikiCup talk page. Next year's competition will begin on 1 January. You are invited to sign up to participate; the WikiCup is open to all Wikipedians, both novices and experienced editors, and we hope to see you all in the 2022 competition. Until then, it only remains to once again congratulate our worthy winners, and thank all participants for their involvement!

Hi Chris, I noticed you reverted the edits of Special:Contributions/58.165.174.211 earlier today, on the ScotRail page. I wanted to remind you that, when you revert an edit (particularly here which, for some, could constitute vandalism) you should always leave a message on the offending user's talk page. I have now done this, but if I don't respond in time, please could you do this yourself if/when this happens. If you need to know what to write on their talk page, you can see what I've put on one of my subpages here. Thanks. Mattdaviesfsic ( talk) 19:37, 14 April 2022 (UTC)

Hello DrChrisWilliams. Thanks for writing me back. I edited & provided some citations on that page. My friend has studied in that institute, & based on his sources, I added that information. Also the HC order, although invalidating degrees, have never mentioned institute as fake (I've attached court order in ref. section). To give complete background, I've added the background information & events surrounding institute. So I'll revert it back.

Hi. I see you’re a member of the WikiProject Medicine/Society and medicine task force. I’ve made a number of proposals to update the article about Kessler Foundation, a charity that supports people with disabilities. Several have been reviewed but a few remain. The request is posted here Talk:Kessler_Foundation#Kessler Foundation Edit Requests – October 2022. I have a conflict of interest, and do the edits myself. Would you possibly have time to look at these? I appreciate your time. Dogmomma529 ( talk) 20:13, 31 January 2023 (UTC)

The WikiCup is over for another year and the finalists can relax! Our Champion this year is The Rambling Man ( submissions), who amassed over 5000 points in the final round, achieving 8 featured articles and almost 500 reviews. It was a very competitive round; seven of the finalists achieved over 1000 points in the round (enough to win the 2019 contest), and three scored over 3000 (enough to win the 2020 event). Our 2021 finalists and their scores were:
All those who reached the final round will win awards. The following special awards will be made based on high performance in particular areas of content creation and review. Awards will be handed out in the next few days.
Congratulations to everyone who participated in this year's WikiCup, whether they made it to the final round or not, and particular congratulations to the newcomers to the WikiCup, some of whom did very well. Wikipedia has benefitted greatly from the quality creations, expansions and improvements made, and the numerous reviews performed. Thanks to all who have taken part and helped out with the competition, not forgetting User:Jarry1250, who runs the scoring bot.
If you have views on whether the rules or scoring need adjustment for next year's contest, please comment on the WikiCup talk page. Next year's competition will begin on 1 January. You are invited to sign up to participate; the WikiCup is open to all Wikipedians, both novices and experienced editors, and we hope to see you all in the 2022 competition. Until then, it only remains to once again congratulate our worthy winners, and thank all participants for their involvement!

Hi Chris, I noticed you reverted the edits of Special:Contributions/58.165.174.211 earlier today, on the ScotRail page. I wanted to remind you that, when you revert an edit (particularly here which, for some, could constitute vandalism) you should always leave a message on the offending user's talk page. I have now done this, but if I don't respond in time, please could you do this yourself if/when this happens. If you need to know what to write on their talk page, you can see what I've put on one of my subpages here. Thanks. Mattdaviesfsic ( talk) 19:37, 14 April 2022 (UTC)

Hello DrChrisWilliams. Thanks for writing me back. I edited & provided some citations on that page. My friend has studied in that institute, & based on his sources, I added that information. Also the HC order, although invalidating degrees, have never mentioned institute as fake (I've attached court order in ref. section). To give complete background, I've added the background information & events surrounding institute. So I'll revert it back. Thanks. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 59.95.245.90 ( talk) 09:00, 27 December 2022 (UTC)
Hi. I see you’re a member of the WikiProject Medicine/Society and medicine task force. I’ve made a number of proposals to update the article about Kessler Foundation, a charity that supports people with disabilities. Several have been reviewed but a few remain. The request is posted here Talk:Kessler_Foundation#Kessler Foundation Edit Requests – October 2022. I have a conflict of interest, and do the edits myself. Would you possibly have time to look at these? I appreciate your time. Dogmomma529 ( talk) 20:13, 31 January 2023 (UTC)

Please, do not remove the information added under the section "Controversies". People need to know about previous troubles suffered by foreign students at the UoD. I understand that you are Scottish but this should not mean anything. 86.178.181.143 ( talk) 21:02, 15 May 2023 (UTC)
