Information icon Welcome to Wikipedia. We appreciate your contributions, but in one of your recent edits to Katherine Parkinson, it appears that you have added original research, which is against Wikipedia's policies. Original research refers to material—such as facts, allegations, ideas, and personal experiences—for which no reliable, published sources exist; it also encompasses combining published sources in a way to imply something that none of them explicitly say. Please be prepared to cite a reliable source for all of your contributions. You can have a look at the tutorial on citing sources. It's inappropriate for Wikipedia to infer anything from a person not wearing a wedding ring on a TV show. Lord Belbury ( talk) 10:04, 11 January 2021 (UTC) reply

Hi, in my opinion a Church is the congregation who worship within the confines of the place they regularly meet. A burnt out shell of a building cannot provide that facility, particularly when it becomes a dangerous structure.

Original research

Hi there, Jaymailsays. I reverted this change of yours at John Pilger as WP:OR because "He could be truculent in interviews and show very little respect if he thought the questions were badly researched" seems to be your analysis of the video you used as a reference.

Your recent editing history at Paula Vennells shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war; that means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be, when you have seen that other editors disagree. To resolve the content dispute, please do not revert or change the edits of others when you are reverted. Instead of reverting, please use the talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. The best practice at this stage is to discuss, not edit-war; read about how this is done. If discussions reach an impasse, you can then post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.

Being involved in an edit war can result in you being blocked from editing—especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring—even if you do not violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.

A tag has been placed on Vanessa Forero requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a band or musician that does not credibly indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please read more about what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator.

Q: Why is the BBC not a deprecated source in Wikipedia?

A: Because Wikipedia is sometimes unconsciously biased to warp-level due to the spectrum of editors, as has been demonstrated to you recently by the reversions and warnings. See [ [3]] [ [4]] [ [5]]. This is why resistance to recognising the role of Labour-appointee and backer Crozier is immediately apparent, while the very guilty Vennells is seen as fair game. My own position is far from right-wing; I have recently been attempting to get organisations formerly classified in Wiki as right-wing to be reclassified as far-right to recognise their drift over time. Albin-Counter ( talk) 00:22, 11 January 2024 (UTC) reply

We can't unravel 25yrs of PO mis-management here. There is an ongoing Public Inquiry into what has gone wrong. Prosecution threats would perhaps prevent Vennells (and others) from giving their evidence at the Inquiry. Time will tell, who if anyone will be held responsible. Jaymailsays ( talk) 01:06, 11 January 2024 (UTC) reply

Since you too have detected the vandalism and/or truth suppression rife in these articles, and indeed I've assisted you against it please consider assisting here - [ [6]].

At 19:13 on 8 January 2024‎, I was reverted on my Wiki-exposure of in press coverage of a scandal in the (otherwise excellent) ITV docu-drama, which omitted any mention that their own ITV CEO for nearly 8 years (2010-2017) was Vennells' immediate predecessor (2003-2010) running the Post Office, and it was he not the guilty Vennells who embedded HORIZON and instituted or at least authorised the criminal prosecution of innocent PO staff.

I raised it here Talk:Mr_Bates_vs_The_Post_Office too. Please join in or, if you agree, even better undo 19:13 on 8 January 2024‎, the rogue deletion of pertinent material I put in. I hate those who assist, either out of inability to comprehend the significance or much worse than that, in this giant cover-up. Albin-Counter ( talk) 21:31, 9 January 2024 (UTC) reply

Horizon was introduced in 1999, well before Crozier's tenure. The issue with Vennell's tenure is she hired forensic accountants, Second Sight and then fired them when their report correctly identified Horizon as buggy and faulty. https://www.postofficetrial.com/2019/12/second-sights-ron-warmington-breaks-his.html?m=1 She promptly terminated their contract. Thus the giant cover up by her was rolled out. Plus she added monies from the suspense account to the balance sheet as profit which increased the chances of bonus payments paid to executives. Jaymailsays ( talk) 02:29, 10 January 2024 (UTC) reply
Thank you. I am about to deleted the Vennells Petition count matter from this Talk: channel, it was obviously an innocent error on your part confusing an archival version with the live one. Feel free to bring it back if you wish. ;-)
I agree completely about the audacity and scale of Vennells' wrongdoing and likely criminal activities. She is a liar and justice would, IMO, be well-served by a custodial sentence augmented by utilising the Proceeds of Crime Act 2002 w.r.t. her profit-related remuneration, where the profit was extorted from subpostmasters who in reality owed nothing. However, I am sceptical that we will witness anything close to justice in respect of this appalling creature.
CEO Crozier, however, oversaw a large number of civil proceedings against subpostmasters whom he was surely in a position to know were innocent. The outrageous case, to which the docu-drama rightly devotes much attention, of Post Office v Castleton [2007] EWHC 5(QB), which started with events c2005, was well-within the tenure of Crozier. Please read the final section in Womble Bond Dickinson which provides links to Crozier's involvement.

I hesitate to cite a justly deprecated source, but, FWIW, here THE DAILY FAIL is on the money - [ [16]
etc. as can be found by googling for Adam Crozier scandal.
I see you too have noted the inherent left-wing bias here; you commented yourself on the absurdly biased BBC being preferred over GOV.UK as a source. Incredible. The relevance to this is almost all the blame for Vennells' actions, as distinct from what she inherited, can be attributed to the Conservatives and the Libdems (Ed Davey), except for Labour Leader "Sir" Keir Starmer forgetting that he was DPP for five years including Vennell's first three, and he could have taken over the wicked prosecutions from the Post Office and then dropped them, in effect quashing them. However, Adam Crozier and his papa were mates of Tony Bliar, and his appointment was under Labour; the socialist editgang will fight ruthlessly to keep any reckoning re Crozier suppressed. You are already experiencing and suffering from this mafia-like conduct in Paula Vennells by the unscrupulous, confused or biased, in clear breach of NPOV... Why is the BBC not a deprecated source on Wiki is an excellent question, it is as bad as The Daily Mail. Hence I ask(ed) for your assistance in Talk:Mr_Bates_vs_The_Post_Office. Albin-Counter ( talk) 22:50, 10 January 2024 (UTC) reply
There were certainly prosecutions under Crozier's tenure but Horizon was signed off by Blair in 1999. Crozier may be a distraction from the big picture when the Post Office was conjoined with Royal Mail. Horizon were accessing branch accounts and changing the ledgers, yet the Post Office denied it was possible and claimed the software was infallible.

People's reliability

@ Jaymailsays Just to make sure that you know that People is a highly reliable source since it actively covers the British royal family and also many citations from them are present on the royals' pages. Further at times you will notice that People reports on news exclusively and also before the others at times. Hence its use is pretty much valid. Please dont revert in future any PEOPLE citations on pages of British royals. I hope you take this message seriously. Thank you and regards from MSincccc ( talk) 09:45, 20 January 2024 (UTC) reply

That may be your opinion but it is not backed up by consensus! Please try to act in a collaborative fashion as oppressive and authoritarian editing may have consequences. Jaymailsays ( talk) 18:35, 20 January 2024 (UTC) reply
It is backed up by consensus, actually. WP:RSPSS marks it as generally reliable: "there is consensus that People magazine can be a reliable source in biographies of living persons", backed up with discussions here, here, here and here. Instead of making routine bogus threats to people who disagree with you just a little of WP:AGF would go a long way. Thanks. Tim O'Doherty ( talk) 11:23, 21 January 2024 (UTC) reply
"Threats" Seriously?
"Generally reliable" is not the same as having concrete credence to evidence of fact. 'People' is a tabloid with exaggerated headlines e.g., "It's a miracle I survived" is typical of their writing style, rather than informative substance. Find a better source for high profile individuals. Jaymailsays ( talk) 16:49, 21 January 2024 (UTC) reply
"'Generally reliable" is not the same as having concrete credence to evidence of fact'" - well, as you yourself said, that may be your opinion but it is not backed up by consensus. "Generally reliable" means that you can use it freely, with limited exceptions on things like op-eds or for certain publications using it for certain topic areas: as WP:RSEDITORIAL says: "news reporting from well-established news outlets is generally considered to be reliable for statements of fact". For the purposes of royalty reporting, People is reliable and can be used whenever. Your attempts to shut that down on Catherine, Princess of Wales were not exactly consensus-based, as that seems to be what's important to you. Tim O'Doherty ( talk) 18:18, 21 January 2024 (UTC) reply
I would personally cite People for non-controversial matters and that appears to be the general consensus among users; and it's a source that's regularly used in pages on high-profile individuals mostly to report on matters that relate to their personal lives. The fact that Catherine has had surgery is non-controversial; it's an established fact. Meanwhile, citing the palace's statement, which you did, goes against WP:PRIMARY. When secondary sources report on a matter we should utilize them, not the primary ones. This was the ground for your edits being reverted, not the fact that you changed the wording of the sentence. Keivan.f Talk 18:25, 21 January 2024 (UTC) reply
The citing of the Palace statement is added value to give context to the secondary citings. We as the public have no idea whether she is in that hospital having surgery or not. She could be abroad for example. The media is relying on a single primary source based solely on the Palace statement. Having access to the Palace statement is best practice. Editing out the statement is akin to censorship reminiscent of the Chinese efforts on Tiananmen Square. Or the Post Office claiming "Horizon" is bug free. You had no grounds to revert an ethically sourced edit. Jaymailsays ( talk) 20:08, 21 January 2024 (UTC) reply
The citing of the Palace statement is added value to give context to the secondary citings. You did not cite it alongside a secondary source. You removed the secondary source and replaced it with the primary one. That is not acceptable.
We as the public have no idea whether she is in that hospital having surgery or not. She could be abroad for example. No, we actually do have an idea that she is in that hospital. Her husband was seen visiting her.
Editing out the statement is akin to censorship reminiscent of the Chinese efforts on Tiananmen Square. Or the Post Office claiming "Horizon" is bug free. You had no grounds to revert an ethically sourced edit. 1) You removed a source that by consensus is generally reliable. 2) You threw in a primary source. The other editor had every right to revert. And since we are talking about censorship, citing primary sources would go exactly against the freedom of information. The Chinese government's stance on the Tiananmen Square massacre or the Russian government's explanations for their recent actions are all examples of primary sources that cannot and should not be trusted. And we cannot cherry-pick which primary sources we can or cannot trust; the general consensus is that they should be avoided when secondary ones are available. Keivan.f Talk 21:37, 21 January 2024 (UTC) reply
"Her husband was seen leaving" Indeed! The staged appearance proves nothing though, except that he drove himself out of the building at the specified time, nothing more. A photo of the PoW entering the hospital herself would hold some credence. PoW mother would not have stayed away from her daughter this number of days, leaving her isolated from human contact. Everyone but everyone is relying on the Palace statement, there are no independent citations to confirm her admission to that hospital. They are certainly entitled to medical privacy until they issue a statement to the public opening up the issue. Jaymailsays ( talk) 23:39, 21 January 2024 (UTC) reply
The staged appearance proves nothing though, except that he drove himself out of the building at the specified time, nothing more. If you do not believe that he was visiting his wife, then you certainly should not believe a statement issued by Kensington Palace on his and Catherine's behalf and hence there would be no need to cite it.
PoW mother would not have stayed away from her daughter this number of days, leaving her isolated from human contact. 1) This is speculation. 2) There have been reports of William visiting over the weekend without being photographed. The same could apply to her parents.
Everyone but everyone is relying on the Palace statement, there are no independent citations to confirm her admission to that hospital. Franky, the hospital at which she is being treated is a trivial matter. All that matters is that she has had a surgery. And I see no point in them lying about it. More importantly, anything that is not reported on by an independent source would be WP:OR. The only thing that has been reported so far is that she has had abdominal surgery and is hospitalised at the London Clinic, where incidentally Margaret and Philip were also treated. Keivan.f Talk 23:53, 21 January 2024 (UTC) reply
Trivial? There is health speculation about the mother of a future Monarch and you call it trivial. I have no idea whether the speculation is true, what I know for certain is that the Palace issued a statement, when it became clear that the PoW could not fulfil planned official engagements leading up to Easter. A running commentary on her health is unnecessary on here. Jaymailsays ( talk) 00:11, 22 January 2024 (UTC) reply
Yes, I do agree that a running commentary is unnecessary, thus there is no need for speculation either. And yes, the hospital at which she is staying is a trivial piece of information. Important people get operated on every year; what matters is the nature of their problem or the type of surgery not necessarily where it was that they were being treated. Also, you either trust the Palace or you don't. Hence why I'm baffled by your initial insistence to cite their statement, when it appears that you are questioning their recent activities. Keivan.f Talk 00:21, 22 January 2024 (UTC) reply
Trust the Palace?
We mostly remember the Palace for example saying that royal couples have separated, "with no plans for divorce" then they divorce at the first opportunity. Or Diana will continue to be a HRH! When the Palace issue a statement we should cite it in its entirety and hold them to account as their future statements may be very different and vary on the very same subject.
As for the name of the hospital, the only notable aspect that I can see, is that the PoW is being treated by a charitable foundation. So it looks as though the Princess will escape VAT on her medical hospitality and accommodation charges depriving the Treasury of income. Jaymailsays ( talk) 08:04, 22 January 2024 (UTC) reply
Wikipedia is not here for us to make a point or hold people to account. We're not witch hunters. And even if we were, citing the palace source would make no difference, when secondary sources have already reported on it, so it is already a matter of public record. Also, when it comes to their statements and actions, literally thousands of couples get separated with no intention to divorce, yet, this is life and things can always go off the rail. Additionally, we have not seen Catherine's medical bills and that she is escaping VAT is also speculation. Finally, this is all irrelevant to the topic at hand. Keivan.f Talk 14:34, 22 January 2024 (UTC) reply

It's pretty much tabloid trash and on its own cannot be relied upon Jaymailsays ( talk) 23:55, 21 January 2024 (UTC) reply
If your problem is with People stating that she's being treated at the London Clinic, here's The Guardian stating the same thing. And I'm sorry, nobody would agree to removing the hospital name simply because you're 'speculating' that she might be hospitalized somewhere else. Keivan.f Talk 00:02, 22 January 2024 (UTC) reply
Ironic the Guardian is reporting on the Palace statement and carries it in full quotes whereas on here, there is denial. Jaymailsays ( talk) 01:34, 22 January 2024 (UTC) reply
Understand the policy, please. For a matter to be considered of utmost importance, secondary sources have to report on it. "Significant coverage is secondary sources" is required for any biographical article per WP:GNG. Otherwise we would have pages on utterly unimportant topics attributed to primary sources that would naturally be biased in favor or maybe even against a subject. And I explained why primary sources cannot be used; the Palace in this instance IS a primary source. Secondly, please pick a position and stick with it. You are upset about the Palace statement being excluded yet earlier on you were implying that the subject's husband could be faking a hospital visit. So which is it then? Are they or their team reliable or not? And what Tim O'Doherty was asking was concerning your conflicting approach regarding this matter. Citing the Palace, a primary source in this instance, is exactly like citing the Post Office on a matter related to the Horizon scandal. Keivan.f Talk 01:52, 22 January 2024 (UTC) reply
@ Keivan.f,@ Jaymailsays and @ Tim O'Doherty The matter is clear. When the secondary sources are required, and People, BBC News, Guardian, etc. all are equally appropriate to use, the one that was used first should stay lest there is a vry extraordinary reason to do so. Hence the BBC News and People citations should stay. I hope it’s clear to you all. Regards MSincccc ( talk) 03:05, 22 January 2024 (UTC) reply
Those two will indeed stay. I added The Guardian as an even stronger secondary source to back up the claims made within the page. Frankly, that's all the information we got and making speculations will not get us anywhere. Citing the Palace statement also would not make any difference.

Introduction to contentious topics - gender and sexuality, biographies of living or recently deceased people

You have recently edited a page related to gender-related disputes or controversies or people associated with them, a topic designated as contentious. This is a brief introduction to contentious topics and does not imply that there are any issues with your editing.

A special set of rules applies to certain topic areas, which are referred to as contentious topics. These are specially designated topics that tend to attract more persistent disruptive editing than the rest of the project and have been designated as contentious topics by the Arbitration Committee. When editing a contentious topic, Wikipedia’s norms and policies are more strictly enforced, and Wikipedia administrators have special powers in order to reduce disruption to the project.

Within contentious topics, editors should edit carefully and constructively, refrain from disrupting the encyclopedia, and:

  • adhere to the purposes of Wikipedia;
  • comply with all applicable policies and guidelines;
  • follow editorial and behavioural best practice;
  • comply with any page restrictions in force within the area of conflict; and
  • refrain from gaming the system.

Editors are advised to err on the side of caution if unsure whether making a particular edit is consistent with these expectations. If you have any questions about contentious topics procedures you may ask them at the arbitration clerks' noticeboard or you may learn more about this contentious topic here. You may also choose to note which contentious topics you know about by using the {{ Ctopics/aware}} template.

Information icon You have recently made edits related to articles about living or recently deceased people, and edits relating to the subject (living or recently deceased) of such biographical articles. This is a standard message to inform you that articles about living or recently deceased people, and edits relating to the subject (living or recently deceased) of such biographical articles is a designated contentious topic.

February 2024

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Murder of Brianna Ghey. This means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be although other editors disagree. Users are expected to collaborate with others, to avoid editing disruptively, and to try to reach a consensus, rather than repeatedly undoing other users' edits once it is known that there is a disagreement.

Points to note:

  1. Edit warring is disruptive regardless of how many reverts you have made;
  2. Do not edit war even if you believe you are right.

If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page to discuss controversial changes and work towards a version that represents consensus among editors. You can post a request for help at an appropriate noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, it may be appropriate to request temporary page protection. If you engage in an edit war, you may be blocked from editing. Per WP:BRD, MOS:GENDERID, and the long standing consensus on the article talk page, please self-revert this edit. Thank you.

Your recent editing history at Murder of Brianna Ghey shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war; that means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be, when you have seen that other editors disagree. To resolve the content dispute, please do not revert or change the edits of others when you are reverted. Instead of reverting, please use the talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. The best practice at this stage is to discuss, not edit-war; read about how this is done. If discussions reach an impasse, you can then post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.

Being involved in an edit war can result in you being blocked from editing—especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring—even if you do not violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.
You have made four reverts to the article in the last 15 hours ( [18], [19], [20], [21]). Please self-revert immediately and discuss this on the article talk page. Sideswipe9th ( talk) 17:41, 16 February 2024 (UTC) reply

Bob Stewart

Hi, with regards to your edit on Bob Stewart (politician), isn't your reason of "The Parliamentary Constituency will cease to exist, in its current form at the next General Election, which could have influenced Stewart's decision to stand down" just speculation? You could also point out the fact that Stewart is 74 years old and has been an MP for the relatively long time of 14 years. Other MPs who are stepping down don't have similar information in their page, instead it's just on the page of the constituency. Ellwat ( talk) 21:39, 29 February 2024 (UTC) reply

His age is in the bio lead! There are many MPs older than him that are not retiring. Beckenham is currently a safe Tory seat but at the next election due to boundary changes, the seat is veritably unsafe from that date onwards. Nothing speculative about it, once you factor in Penge. Jaymailsays ( talk) 22:05, 29 February 2024 (UTC) reply
I get that but you're still speculating as to why he stood down. Doesn't this fall under WP:UNDUE? No need to point this out if it's not been explicitly mentioned in the media. Ellwat ( talk) 22:10, 29 February 2024 (UTC) reply
Hi, The boundary changes are fact, it is upto the reader to speculate if they want to. Stewart is innocent of all CPS allegations, it was clear to many, the allegations were false and potentially maliciously motivated and had he not been notable, he would never have been prosecuted. That said, he could have applied to be a candidate for another seat, but because the Whip had been withdrawn, he wasn't eligible to do that. With a very different Constituency make-up next time, he had little choice but to retire.
If the purpose of the Article is to be encyclopedic, the information ought to be transparently available. Jaymailsays ( talk) 23:04, 29 February 2024 (UTC) reply

Information icon Welcome to Wikipedia. We appreciate your contributions, but in one of your recent edits to Katherine Parkinson, it appears that you have added original research, which is against Wikipedia's policies. Original research refers to material—such as facts, allegations, ideas, and personal experiences—for which no reliable, published sources exist; it also encompasses combining published sources in a way to imply something that none of them explicitly say. Please be prepared to cite a reliable source for all of your contributions. You can have a look at the tutorial on citing sources. It's inappropriate for Wikipedia to infer anything from a person not wearing a wedding ring on a TV show. Lord Belbury ( talk) 10:04, 11 January 2021 (UTC) reply

Original research

Hi there, Jaymailsays.

Your recent editing history at Paula Vennells shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war; that means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be, when you have seen that other editors disagree. To resolve the content dispute, please do not revert or change the edits of others when you are reverted. Instead of reverting, please use the talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. The best practice at this stage is to discuss, not edit-war; read about how this is done. If discussions reach an impasse, you can then post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.

Being involved in an edit war can result in you being blocked from editing—especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring—even if you do not violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.

This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

Q: Why is the BBC not a deprecated source in Wikipedia?

A: Because Wikipedia is sometimes unconsciously biased to warp-level due to the spectrum of editors, as has been demonstrated to you recently by the reversions and warnings. See [ [3]] [ [4]] [ [5]]. This is why resistance to recognising the role of Labour-appointee and backer Crozier is immediately apparent, while the very guilty Vennells is seen as fair game. My own position is far from right-wing; I have recently been attempting to get organisations formerly classified in Wiki as right-wing to be reclassified as far-right to recognise their drift over time. Albin-Counter ( talk) 00:22, 11 January 2024 (UTC) reply

We can't unravel 25yrs of PO mis-management here. There is an ongoing Public Inquiry into what has gone wrong. Prosecution threats would perhaps prevent Vennells (and others) from giving their evidence at the Inquiry. Time will tell, who if anyone will be held responsible. Jaymailsays ( talk) 01:06, 11 January 2024 (UTC) reply

Since you too have detected the vandalism and/or truth suppression rife in these articles, and indeed I've assisted you against it please consider assisting here - [ [6]].

At 19:13 on 8 January 2024‎, I was reverted on my Wiki-exposure of in press coverage of a scandal in the (otherwise excellent) ITV docu-drama, which omitted any mention that their own ITV CEO for nearly 8 years (2010-2017) was Vennells' immediate predecessor (2003-2010) running the Post Office, and it was he not the guilty Vennells who embedded HORIZON and instituted or at least authorised the criminal prosecution of innocent PO staff.

I raised it here Talk:Mr_Bates_vs_The_Post_Office too. Please join in or, if you agree, even better undo 19:13 on 8 January 2024‎, the rogue deletion of pertinent material I put in. I hate those who assist, either out of inability to comprehend the significance or much worse than that, in this giant cover-up. Albin-Counter ( talk) 21:31, 9 January 2024 (UTC) reply

Horizon was introduced in 1999, well before Crozier's tenure. The issue with Vennell's tenure is she hired forensic accountants, Second Sight and then fired them when their report correctly identified Horizon as buggy and faulty. https://www.postofficetrial.com/2019/12/second-sights-ron-warmington-breaks-his.html?m=1 She promptly terminated their contract. Thus the giant cover up by her was rolled out. Plus she added monies from the suspense account to the balance sheet as profit which increased the chances of bonus payments paid to executives. Jaymailsays ( talk) 02:29, 10 January 2024 (UTC) reply
Thank you. I am about to deleted the Vennells Petition count matter from this Talk: channel, it was obviously an innocent error on your part confusing an archival version with the live one. Feel free to bring it back if you wish. ;-)
I agree completely about the audacity and scale of Vennells' wrongdoing and likely criminal activities. She is a liar and justice would, IMO, be well-served by a custodial sentence augmented by utilising the Proceeds of Crime Act 2002 w.r.t. her profit-related remuneration, where the profit was extorted from subpostmasters who in reality owed nothing. However, I am sceptical that we will witness anything close to justice in respect of this appalling creature.
CEO Crozier, however, oversaw a large number of civil proceedings against subpostmasters whom he was surely in a position to know were innocent. The outrageous case, to which the docu-drama rightly devotes much attention, of Post Office v Castleton [2007] EWHC 5(QB), which started with events c2005, was well-within the tenure of Crozier. Please read the final section in Womble Bond Dickinson which provides links to Crozier's involvement.

I hesitate to cite a justly deprecated source, but, FWIW, here THE DAILY FAIL is on the money - [ [16]
etc. as can be found by googling for Adam Crozier scandal.
I see you too have noted the inherent left-wing bias here; you commented yourself on the absurdly biased BBC being preferred over GOV.UK as a source. Incredible. The relevance to this is almost all the blame for Vennells' actions, as distinct from what she inherited, can be attributed to the Conservatives and the Libdems (Ed Davey), except for Labour Leader "Sir" Keir Starmer forgetting that he was DPP for five years including Vennell's first three, and he could have taken over the wicked prosecutions from the Post Office and then dropped them, in effect quashing them. However, Adam Crozier and his papa were mates of Tony Bliar, and his appointment was under Labour; the socialist editgang will fight ruthlessly to keep any reckoning re Crozier suppressed. You are already experiencing and suffering from this mafia-like conduct in Paula Vennells by the unscrupulous, confused or biased, in clear breach of NPOV... Why is the BBC not a deprecated source on Wiki is an excellent question, it is as bad as The Daily Mail. Hence I ask(ed) for your assistance in Talk:Mr_Bates_vs_The_Post_Office. Albin-Counter ( talk) 22:50, 10 January 2024 (UTC) reply
There were certainly prosecutions under Crozier's tenure but Horizon was signed off by Blair in 1999. Crozier may be a distraction from the big picture when the Post Office was conjoined with Royal Mail. Horizon were accessing branch accounts and changing the ledgers, yet the Post Office denied it was possible and claimed the software was infallible.

People's reliability

@ Jaymailsays Just to make sure that you know that People is a highly reliable source since it actively covers the British royal family and also many citations from them are present on the royals' pages. Further at times you will notice that People reports on news exclusively and also before the others at times. Hence its use is pretty much valid. Please dont revert in future any PEOPLE citations on pages of British royals. I hope you take this message seriously. Thank you and regards from MSincccc ( talk) 09:45, 20 January 2024 (UTC) reply

That may be your opinion but it is not backed up by consensus! Please try to act in a collaborative fashion as oppressive and authoritarian editing may have consequences. Jaymailsays ( talk) 18:35, 20 January 2024 (UTC) reply
It is backed up by consensus, actually. WP:RSPSS marks it as generally reliable: "there is consensus that People magazine can be a reliable source in biographies of living persons", backed up with discussions here, here, here and here. Instead of making routine bogus threats to people who disagree with you just a little of WP:AGF would go a long way. Thanks. Tim O'Doherty ( talk) 11:23, 21 January 2024 (UTC) reply
"Threats" Seriously?
"Generally reliable" is not the same as having concrete credence to evidence of fact. 'People' is a tabloid with exaggerated headlines e.g., "It's a miracle I survived" is typical of their writing style, rather than informative substance. Find a better source for high profile individuals. Jaymailsays ( talk) 16:49, 21 January 2024 (UTC) reply
"'Generally reliable" is not the same as having concrete credence to evidence of fact'" - well, as you yourself said, that may be your opinion but it is not backed up by consensus. "Generally reliable" means that you can use it freely, with limited exceptions on things like op-eds or for certain publications using it for certain topic areas: as WP:RSEDITORIAL says: "news reporting from well-established news outlets is generally considered to be reliable for statements of fact". For the purposes of royalty reporting, People is reliable and can be used whenever. Your attempts to shut that down on Catherine, Princess of Wales were not exactly consensus-based, as that seems to be what's important to you. Tim O'Doherty ( talk) 18:18, 21 January 2024 (UTC) reply
I would personally cite People for non-controversial matters and that appears to be the general consensus among users; and it's a source that's regularly used in pages on high-profile individuals mostly to report on matters that relate to their personal lives. The fact that Catherine has had surgery is non-controversial; it's an established fact. Meanwhile, citing the palace's statement, which you did, goes against WP:PRIMARY. When secondary sources report on a matter we should utilize them, not the primary ones. This was the ground for your edits being reverted, not the fact that you changed the wording of the sentence. Keivan.f Talk 18:25, 21 January 2024 (UTC) reply
The citing of the Palace statement is added value to give context to the secondary citings. We as the public have no idea whether she is in that hospital having surgery or not. She could be abroad for example. The media is relying on a single primary source based solely on the Palace statement. Having access to the Palace statement is best practice. Editing out the statement is akin to censorship reminiscent of the Chinese efforts on Tiananmen Square. Or the Post Office claiming "Horizon" is bug free. You had no grounds to revert an ethically sourced edit. Jaymailsays ( talk) 20:08, 21 January 2024 (UTC) reply
The citing of the Palace statement is added value to give context to the secondary citings. You did not cite it alongside a secondary source. You removed the secondary source and replaced it with the primary one. That is not acceptable.
We as the public have no idea whether she is in that hospital having surgery or not. She could be abroad for example. No, we actually do have an idea that she is in that hospital. Her husband was seen visiting her.
Editing out the statement is akin to censorship reminiscent of the Chinese efforts on Tiananmen Square. Or the Post Office claiming "Horizon" is bug free. You had no grounds to revert an ethically sourced edit. 1) You removed a source that by consensus is generally reliable. 2) You threw in a primary source. The other editor had every right to revert. And since we are talking about censorship, citing primary sources would go exactly against the freedom of information. The Chinese government's stance on the Tiananmen Square massacre or the Russian government's explanations for their recent actions are all examples of primary sources that cannot and should not be trusted. And we cannot cherry-pick which primary sources we can or cannot trust; the general consensus is that they should be avoided when secondary ones are available. Keivan.f Talk 21:37, 21 January 2024 (UTC) reply
"Her husband was seen leaving" Indeed! The staged appearance proves nothing though, except that he drove himself out of the building at the specified time, nothing more. A photo of the PoW entering the hospital herself would hold some credence. PoW mother would not have stayed away from her daughter this number of days, leaving her isolated from human contact. Everyone but everyone is relying on the Palace statement, there are no independent citations to confirm her admission to that hospital. They are certainly entitled to medical privacy until they issue a statement to the public opening up the issue. Jaymailsays ( talk) 23:39, 21 January 2024 (UTC) reply
The staged appearance proves nothing though, except that he drove himself out of the building at the specified time, nothing more. If you do not believe that he was visiting his wife, then you certainly should not believe a statement issued by Kensington Palace on his and Catherine's behalf and hence there would be no need to cite it.
PoW mother would not have stayed away from her daughter this number of days, leaving her isolated from human contact. 1) This is speculation. 2) There have been reports of William visiting over the weekend without being photographed. The same could apply to her parents.
Everyone but everyone is relying on the Palace statement, there are no independent citations to confirm her admission to that hospital. Franky, the hospital at which she is being treated is a trivial matter. All that matters is that she has had a surgery. And I see no point in them lying about it. More importantly, anything that is not reported on by an independent source would be WP:OR. The only thing that has been reported so far is that she has had abdominal surgery and is hospitalised at the London Clinic, where incidentally Margaret and Philip were also treated. Keivan.f Talk 23:53, 21 January 2024 (UTC) reply
Trivial? There is health speculation about the mother of a future Monarch and you call it trivial. I have no idea whether the speculation is true, what I know for certain is that the Palace issued a statement, when it became clear that the PoW could not fulfil planned official engagements leading up to Easter. A running commentary on her health is unnecessary on here. Jaymailsays ( talk) 00:11, 22 January 2024 (UTC) reply
Yes, I do agree that a running commentary is unnecessary, thus there is no need for speculation either. And yes, the hospital at which she is staying is a trivial piece of information. Important people get operated on every year; what matters is the nature of their problem or the type of surgery not necessarily where it was that they were being treated. Also, you either trust the Palace or you don't. Hence why I'm baffled by your initial insistence to cite their statement, when it appears that you are questioning their recent activities. Keivan.f Talk 00:21, 22 January 2024 (UTC) reply
Trust the Palace?
We mostly remember the Palace for example saying that royal couples have separated, "with no plans for divorce" then they divorce at the first opportunity. Or Diana will continue to be a HRH! When the Palace issue a statement we should cite it in its entirety and hold them to account as their future statements may be very different and vary on the very same subject.
As for the name of the hospital, the only notable aspect that I can see, is that the PoW is being treated by a charitable foundation. So it looks as though the Princess will escape VAT on her medical hospitality and accommodation charges depriving the Treasury of income. Jaymailsays ( talk) 08:04, 22 January 2024 (UTC) reply
Wikipedia is not here for us to make a point or hold people to account. We're not witch hunters. And even if we were, citing the palace source would make no difference, when secondary sources have already reported on it, so it is already a matter of public record. Also, when it comes to their statements and actions, literally thousands of couples get separated with no intention to divorce, yet, this is life and things can always go off the rail. Additionally, we have not seen Catherine's medical bills and that she is escaping VAT is also speculation. Finally, this is all irrelevant to the topic at hand. Keivan.f Talk 14:34, 22 January 2024 (UTC) reply
So you don't trust the Palace but replace a reliable secondary source with one of its statements? What? Tim O'Doherty ( talk) 16:03, 22 January 2024 (UTC) reply

It's pretty much tabloid trash and on its own cannot be relied upon Jaymailsays ( talk) 23:55, 21 January 2024 (UTC) reply
If your problem is with People stating that she's being treated at the London Clinic, here's The Guardian stating the same thing. And I'm sorry, nobody would agree to removing the hospital name simply because you're 'speculating' that she might be hospitalized somewhere else. Keivan.f Talk 00:02, 22 January 2024 (UTC) reply
Ironic the Guardian is reporting on the Palace statement and carries it in full quotes whereas on here, there is denial. Jaymailsays ( talk) 01:34, 22 January 2024 (UTC) reply
Understand the policy, please. For a matter to be considered of utmost importance, secondary sources have to report on it. "Significant coverage is secondary sources" is required for any biographical article per WP:GNG. Otherwise we would have pages on utterly unimportant topics attributed to primary sources that would naturally be biased in favor or maybe even against a subject. And I explained why primary sources cannot be used; the Palace in this instance IS a primary source. Secondly, please pick a position and stick with it. You are upset about the Palace statement being excluded yet earlier on you were implying that the subject's husband could be faking a hospital visit. So which is it then? Are they or their team reliable or not? And what Tim O'Doherty was asking was concerning your conflicting approach regarding this matter. Citing the Palace, a primary source in this instance, is exactly like citing the Post Office on a matter related to the Horizon scandal. Keivan.f Talk 01:52, 22 January 2024 (UTC) reply
@ Keivan.f,@ Jaymailsays and @ Tim O'Doherty The matter is clear. When the secondary sources are required, and People, BBC News, Guardian, etc. all are equally appropriate to use, the one that was used first should stay lest there is a vry extraordinary reason to do so. Hence the BBC News and People citations should stay. I hope it’s clear to you all. Regards MSincccc ( talk) 03:05, 22 January 2024 (UTC) reply
Those two will indeed stay. I added The Guardian as an even stronger secondary source to back up the claims made within the page. Frankly, that's all the information we got and making speculations will not get us anywhere. Citing the Palace statement also would not make any difference.

Introduction to contentious topics - gender and sexuality, biographies of living or recently deceased people

You have recently edited a page related to gender-related disputes or controversies or people associated with them, a topic designated as contentious. This is a brief introduction to contentious topics and does not imply that there are any issues with your editing.

A special set of rules applies to certain topic areas, which are referred to as contentious topics. These are specially designated topics that tend to attract more persistent disruptive editing than the rest of the project and have been designated as contentious topics by the Arbitration Committee. When editing a contentious topic, Wikipedia’s norms and policies are more strictly enforced, and Wikipedia administrators have special powers in order to reduce disruption to the project.

Within contentious topics, editors should edit carefully and constructively, refrain from disrupting the encyclopedia, and:

  • adhere to the purposes of Wikipedia;
  • comply with all applicable policies and guidelines;
  • follow editorial and behavioural best practice;
  • comply with any page restrictions in force within the area of conflict; and
  • refrain from gaming the system.

Editors are advised to err on the side of caution if unsure whether making a particular edit is consistent with these expectations. If you have any questions about contentious topics procedures you may ask them at the arbitration clerks' noticeboard or you may learn more about this contentious topic here. You may also choose to note which contentious topics you know about by using the {{ Ctopics/aware}} template.

Information icon You have recently made edits related to articles about living or recently deceased people, and edits relating to the subject (living or recently deceased) of such biographical articles. This is a standard message to inform you that articles about living or recently deceased people, and edits relating to the subject (living or recently deceased) of such biographical articles is a designated contentious topic.

February 2024

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Murder of Brianna Ghey. This means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be although other editors disagree. Users are expected to collaborate with others, to avoid editing disruptively, and to try to reach a consensus, rather than repeatedly undoing other users' edits once it is known that there is a disagreement.

Points to note:

  1. Edit warring is disruptive regardless of how many reverts you have made;
  2. Do not edit war even if you believe you are right.

If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page to discuss controversial changes and work towards a version that represents consensus among editors. You can post a request for help at an appropriate noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, it may be appropriate to request temporary page protection. If you engage in an edit war, you may be blocked from editing. Per WP:BRD, MOS:GENDERID, and the long standing consensus on the article talk page, please self-revert this edit. Thank you.

Your recent editing history at Murder of Brianna Ghey shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war; that means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be, when you have seen that other editors disagree. To resolve the content dispute, please do not revert or change the edits of others when you are reverted. Instead of reverting, please use the talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. The best practice at this stage is to discuss, not edit-war; read about how this is done. If discussions reach an impasse, you can then post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.

Being involved in an edit war can result in you being blocked from editing—especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring—even if you do not violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.
You have made four reverts to the article in the last 15 hours ( [18], [19], [20], [21]). Please self-revert immediately and discuss this on the article talk page. Sideswipe9th ( talk) 17:41, 16 February 2024 (UTC) reply

Bob Stewart

Hi, with regards to your edit on Bob Stewart (politician), isn't your reason of "The Parliamentary Constituency will cease to exist, in its current form at the next General Election, which could have influenced Stewart's decision to stand down" just speculation? You could also point out the fact that Stewart is 74 years old and has been an MP for the relatively long time of 14 years. Other MPs who are stepping down don't have similar information in their page, instead it's just on the page of the constituency. Ellwat ( talk) 21:39, 29 February 2024 (UTC) reply

His age is in the bio lead! There are many MPs older than him that are not retiring. Beckenham is currently a safe Tory seat but at the next election due to boundary changes, the seat is veritably unsafe from that date onwards. Nothing speculative about it, once you factor in Penge. Jaymailsays ( talk) 22:05, 29 February 2024 (UTC) reply
I get that but you're still speculating as to why he stood down. Doesn't this fall under WP:UNDUE? No need to point this out if it's not been explicitly mentioned in the media. Ellwat ( talk) 22:10, 29 February 2024 (UTC) reply
Hi, The boundary changes are fact, it is upto the reader to speculate if they want to. Stewart is innocent of all CPS allegations, it was clear to many, the allegations were false and potentially maliciously motivated and had he not been notable, he would never have been prosecuted. That said, he could have applied to be a candidate for another seat, but because the Whip had been withdrawn, he wasn't eligible to do that. With a very different Constituency make-up next time, he had little choice but to retire.
If the purpose of the Article is to be encyclopedic, the information ought to be transparently available. Jaymailsays ( talk) 23:04, 29 February 2024 (UTC) reply
