Hi David
Yes, You are right I do not qualify as a reviewer yet, I am just getting started; However, Thank you for pointing out the minimum requirements. I would surely revert my actions. Additionally, If you could point me out How can I tidy up and close the submissions correctly - Would be greatly helpful :) quantumdots-x (talk) 18:25, 10 February 2020 (UTC)
- If you don't know how to undo your mistakes (see Help:Reverting) it is doubtful whether you should be editing any pages on Wikipedia, and obviously definitely not attempting AFC reviews. Fortunately, it looks as if Justlettersandnumbers has been going round reverting your edits. --David Biddulph (talk) 12:17, 8 February 2020 (UTC)
Yes, True Mistake on my end :( Thanks for pointing out the mistake on Akash Manoj - would add appropriate short summary. :) quantumdots-x 12:34, 8 February 2020 (UTC)
- You obviously still haven't read WP:Short description. It says "The short description is intended to be used in conjunction with the article title, and should be written as though it follows the title. Duplication of information already in the title is to be avoided.", and yet you started with the article title. It says the target length is 40 characters and you used 243. If you can't read and understand the English language, please stay away from the English Wikipedia. Also the welcome message on your user talk page gave you a link to Wikipedia:Signatures, which includes WP:SIGLINK; your message above doesn't include a compliant signature. If you have been trying to be clever in customising your signature you have messed it up so you need to put it back to the default. Yet again, don't try to do things you don't understand. --David Biddulph (talk) 13:04, 8 February 2020 (UTC)
Thanks for the edits on Manu P :) quantumdots-x (talk) 18:25, 10 February 2020 (UTC)
Thanks on the signature config too :) quantumdots-x (talk) 18:26, 10 February 2020 (UTC)
Hi Again, Would you please have a look on this article for errors? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pradhan_Mantri_Rashtriya_Bal_Puruskar Additionally, The article doesn't have an assessment grade yet. quantumdots-x (talk) 18:40, 10 February 2020 (UTC)
- To refer to a Wikipedia page, give a wikilink, like Pradhan Mantri Rashtriya Bal Puruskar, rather than a url like https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pradhan_Mantri_Rashtriya_Bal_Puruskar. That article is choc-a-bloc with violations of the WP:Manual of Style, a total mess. If one were looking for an example of how not to write an article, it would be hard to find a more appropriate example. --David Biddulph (talk) 18:47, 10 February 2020 (UTC)
Heading text
The Toven
David,
Your response was received and well taken. When you say misplaced external links, to confirm, are you referring to broken links or simply misplaced in the body of the text. Also Am I to wait on a volunteer response to the original Tea Talk question of sufficient notability vs notability?
was the reviewing volunteer saying that the subject is not "worthy of notice"?
According to Wiki
If a topic has received significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject, it is presumed to be suitable for a stand-alone article or list.
Provided were reliable sources DJ Rectangle DJ Rectangle-1995 Vinyl Combat, Ill Rated and Jayo Felony UndergroundJayo Felony-Underground album. Whereby The Toven performed and contributed to both.
Respectfully.

Could you please take a look at this
User: David Biddulph I want to point your attention that the user Lion Pappa has also been vandalising multiple pages and removing sourced information on the article do not state. HE has also made multiple editions WITHOUT any references. The user has been notified twice already and haven't stopped. Please refer back to the history section of these articles to see the horrific levels of vandalism taking place:
[[1]] (Oodweyne District) - Constant vandalism of this page by this user and removal of sourced references
[[2]] (Gadabuursi) - Constant vandalism of this page by this user and removal of sourced references
[[3]] (Berbera) - Constant vandalism of this page by this user and removal of sourced references
[[4]] (Sahil, Somaliland) - Constant vandalism of this page by this user and removal of sourced references
[[5]] (Somalia) - Constant vandalism of this page by this user and removal of sourced references
[[6]] (Zeila) - Constant vandalism of this page by this user and removal of sourced references
[[7]] (Issa Musse) - Created an entire article without any references
[[8]] (Awdal) - Constant vandalising of this page without references
[[9]] (Borama) - Constant vandalism of this page by this user and removal of sourced references
[[10]] (Lughaya District) - Constant vandalism of this page by this user and removal of sourced references
[[11]] (Lughaya) - Constant vandalism of this page by this user and removal of sourced references
Aqooni (talk) 00:00, 15 February 2020 (UTC)
- I don't know why you expect me to do anything about it. You say that you have notified the user twice, but the notifications which you put on his user talk page were claiming that a discussion was taking place at WP:AN3 when that was not the case, and still isn't the case as WP:AN3#User:Lion Pappa reported by User:Aqooni (Result: Malformed) was malformed and you didn't respond to the admin's request to submit a properly formed report. You may wish to report at WP:ANI, but bear in mind that in such a case your own behaviour will be subject to scrutiny too. If you wish to make a report there you don't need to provide a URL like https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Berbera when you have correctly given the wikilink to Berbera. Also the link Lion Pappa tries to go to an article which doesn't exist; for a user the link is User:Lion Pappa. Remember also that there are various paths for WP:Dispute resolution, and that in general the first step in a content dispute is to discuss on the talk page of the article. Looking at the first few articles on your list I see no sign that either of you have made any attempt to do that. Attempts to invoke other steps in the dispute resolution processes are likely to be declined if neither of you have taken that first step. Remember also that Wikipedia has a strict definition of vandalism. I see also that the other user says that he has suspicions of sockpuppetry; he has not yet submitted any report for investigation, but hopefully you are aware of the policy at WP:Sock puppetry. --David Biddulph (talk) 05:11, 15 February 2020 (UTC)
I would like to remember to block this sock puppetry User:Aqooni be he still trying to remove and dispute issues on Wikipedia with his multiple accounts.
Thank you David Biddulph. Lion Pappa (talk) 10:38, 15 February 2020 (UTC)

Hi David Biddulph! It’s nice to contact you here, the user User:Aqooni is a vandalism editor who has multiple accounts on Wikipedia and he is sock puppetry. As you can see the other username User: Capewearer who edited the Oodweyne District. I’m sure, He is a from the failed state of Somalia but He is imitating that he is from Awdal region in Somaliland.
David Biddulph, You are historian person who aware of in the situation of Horn of Africa and I cannot explain you the deference between Somaliland and Somalia because of you that Africa has a colonial history and has an international borders. Somaliland and Somalia were two countries whose merged in to one nation called Somali Republic in 1960 but they disunited in 1991 after the bloodshed war between between both since 1988-1991. It’s true that Somaliland is not party of United Nation Council but there many countries who recognized Somaliland as official government and thier former government since 1991.
I’m here for justice, If I had made any mistake editing on Wikipedia, I’am trying as I be a better editor. I will added reference/source and explanation in every article that I will editor.
Thank you David Biddulph. Lion Pappa (talk) 10:31, 15 February 2020 (UTC)
- My user talk page is not the place to resolve your dispute. If you have evidence of sockpuppetry you need to raise it at WP:SPI, but without evidence you should not make the accusation. As I told User:Aqooni, for other aspects of your content dispute you need to start by discussing on the relevant article's talk page rather than edit-warring to remove sourced text. You say that you are here for justice, but Wikipedia is not the place for righting great wrongs. --David Biddulph (talk) 10:45, 15 February 2020 (UTC)
Notice: I have moved a report about the continuation of the dispute to Wikipedia:Administrators'_noticeboard/Incidents#Somalia,_Somaliland:_Lion_Pappa_reported_by_David_Biddulph, because it wasn't actioned at WP:AIV. ~ ToBeFree (talk) 15:49, 22 February 2020 (UTC)
Help & suggestion
Hello dear sir, I am new here and I don't know how to change article title even I put all of my efforts (if possible, you yourself can change it)
Please respond I am afraid of being deleted by admin. Sturdyankit (talk) 03:56, 25 February 2020 (UTC)
Sorry sir for disturbing again, But Sir, I replace all the incorrect spelled word in article content but even can't the title. I have to ask, "can this became an issue for deletion of my article". Sturdyankit (talk) 04:07, 25 February 2020 (UTC)
- You had moved the article from Pratical high school to Practical high school, and I have moved it further to the correctly capitalised Practical High School (you need to be aware that Wikipedia page titles are case sensitive). I have added comments at the top & bottom of the AFD page as recommended at WP:EDITATAFD. I have also consolidated the reused references in the article (per WP:REFB#Same reference used more than once) to reduce the scope for confusion. There are numerous further spelling errors within the article, and also unsourced text, but those problems can hopefully be addressed if the AFD results in a decision to keep the article. As you said, you are a new editor, and it was therefore unwise for you to try to create a new article; this is one of the hardest tasks in Wikipedia and you would be advised to gain more experience in editing existing articles before trying to create new ones. In future if you have thoughts of creating a new article you ought to read the advice at WP:Your first article and create a draft for submission for review through the WP:Article for Creation process. --David Biddulph (talk) 08:23, 25 February 2020 (UTC)
Yoga Alliance Professionals
Hi David, I hope you are well.
Yoga Alliance Professionals (previous trading name Yoga Alliance UK) is one of the UK's accreditation bodies for yoga teachers and yoga teacher training, just as British Wheel of Yoga is. Adding them to the list of yoga accreditation bodies is not advertising, it is showcasing the different accreditation bodies available for yoga teachers. To omit them would be to misrepresent the accreditation available to yoga teachers, to undermine the qualifications of the 7,500 practising members and puts a bias in favour of BWY.
The third accreditation body in the UK is the International Yoga Network, however, this does not have the same level of members. I cannot understand the reasoning for putting both Yoga Alliance (US) and BWY (UK) in the post "Yoga Teacher Training" and not Yoga Alliance Professionals as their presence in the yoga industry is a fact. I would really appreciate you clearing this up for me, all the best. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Peucami1 (talk • contribs) 14:34, 25 February 2020 (UTC)
- As you were told on your draft and on your user talk page, to demonstrate notability of a subject you need references to published reliable sources independent of the subject. One good reason for including BWY on the Yoga teacher training page is that they are the accredited national governing body. --David Biddulph (talk) 15:55, 25 February 2020 (UTC)
Hi David, thank you for getting back to me. Here are some references https://suryalila.com/become-yoga-instructor/: "There is Yoga Alliance, which is USA based and Yoga Alliance Professionals, which is UK based. They are two unique unconnected bodies, which recognise and give creditability to Yoga Teacher Training Courses", https://theyogicollective.co.uk/what-is-the-difference-between-yoga-alliance-and-yoga-alliance-professionals/: "Yoga Alliance Professionals (YAP) used to be called Yoga Alliance UK. Any yoga teacher can apply to be on their registry as long as they have completed a yoga course which falls in line with their standards. There are far fewer numbers in their registry however." https://www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/article-7685879/How-yoga-latest-MeToo-battleground-Women-fight-against-unwanted-touching.html — Preceding unsigned comment added by Peucami1 (talk The NHS website - https://www.nhs.uk/live-well/exercise/guide-to-yoga/

- My user talk page is not the place for your references. If you want to get your draft accepted, the references need to be there. Note also that the Daily Mail is not accepted as a reliable source, see WP:DAILYMAIL. Reviewers will assess whether the other sources are reliable, and whether they cover the subject in enough detail to satisfy the requirement for notability. --David Biddulph (talk) 16:33, 25 February 2020 (UTC)

thanks for Longshaw revert
Wanted to thank you for your revert on Longshaw. Guessing you saw me put it on admin page and then took it down because the formatting got screwed up. Because they had used an ip before I tried to incorporate that in there but I messed it up. Since you reverted I decided to put another more personal message to the user to try and help them rather than report them. If they revert it again though and violate 3rr I've already got it more/less written up depending on the times. Thx again and TC. ToeFungii (talk) 18:52, 7 May 2020 (UTC)

Edit warring
You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Lists of mountains and hills in the British Isles; that means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be, when you have seen that 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:
- Edit warring is disruptive regardless of how many reverts you have made;
- 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.Lurking shadow (talk) 21:05, 1 June 2020 (UTC)

- Your edits on the various article are being disputed by multiple editors, you have been splitting articles without discussion and without attribution, and you have made no attempt to discuss on the article talk pages so it is difficult to see the justification for your claim that "The other users are accepting my edits for that page". Edit-warring is not permitted, and 3rr is a bright line. --David Biddulph (talk) 11:46, 14 June 2020 (UTC)

British Rowing
Hi David Biddulph, thanks for adding dates to the British Rowing Championships, do you know where I can source past winners, I have some PDF's of recent years but not early years winners? The book that was photographed and had JPG links on the British Rowing website is no longer available, not even on the webarchive. I would like to start making lists of past winners and wondered if you have any ideas. Many thanks Racingmanager (talk) 14:23, 12 July 2020 (UTC)
- I'm afraid that BR are hopeless at keeping archival material available. A few of the old links from https://www.biddulph.org.uk/natchs.htm are still working (particularly my unofficial lists), & some are available in web archive at places like https://web.archive.org/web/20100329182406/http://www.natchamps.org.uk/winners_sen.html . I do have download copies of odd ones, but not all of them. Some years they didn't put stuff in an easily accessible format. As you say, it's a pity if the winners book isn't accessible any more after the effort which was put in to get it scanned. The British Rowing Almanack would, of course, be a source for stuff which isn't available electronically. I've got 1997-2008 results handily together so I could email them to you if you let me know your email address (there's an email link to me on my website). Beyond that if you let me know what gaps you have I'll let you know whether I've got them handy. --David Biddulph (talk) 14:51, 12 July 2020 (UTC)
- I've looked again and realise that I had 1972 (first championships) to 1997 in a separate folder, though of course any data which I have would be of no use unless you can support them by reference to a published source (such as the Almanack). --David Biddulph (talk) 06:55, 16 July 2020 (UTC)
Many thanks, I will be in contact in the near future as soon as I get stuck. I have done an article on the 2018 British Rowing Junior Championships & 2019 British Rowing Junior Championships and also started a template, I will continue the work as my next project. Feel free to check and alter if you see any errors. Many thanks Racingmanager (talk) 14:45, 13 July 2020 (UTC)

Thank you for explaining "Minor Edits"
Dear David Biddulph,
Thank you for your note of 21 June on my talk page in explanation of Minor Edits regarding my having mislabelled an edit of the Yvonne Wilder page. That particular fault of mine was ongoing from day one, so I appreciate finally having been corrected. I am certainly not as well versed in all the Wiki rules and guidelines as I should like to be, so I very much appreciate any guidance and/or correction that anyone has to offer. I am sure you have better things to do than to follow everything I might write or edit on Wiki, but if you did happen to notice I have never made that mistake regarding a Minor Edit since.
Thank you again for taking the time to shed light on the subject; any and all guidance on writing or editing Wikipedia is most appreciated. And apologies for not having written back to thank you sooner.
Sincerely, Christian Gregory (talk) 02:02, 2 August 2020 (UTC)

National Championships
Hi user David Biddulph, just need to check the Kenny Dwan situation, the Times says R V Durham in 1975 and the 1990 reports state Larkin set a new record of four wins, however the Times could have been checking their own records that contained this random name R V Durham so maybe they did not know about the Dwan four wins. I have changed the 1990 note about the record because I presume you are right. let me know if I have missed anything. P.S I hope to some information from British Rowing regarding the Winners Book, they have said they will look into it. Regards Racingmanager (talk) 14:57, 10 August 2020 (UTC)
- The late Jim Railton knew Ken Dwan very well, so I'm sure that it wasn't his mistake, but I know from experience that the copy-takers who took telephone reports from correspondents often got things wrong as they obviously don't know the individuals or the subject. [Skulls instead of sculls is one of their favourite errors.]. Although the British Rowing Almanack is not devoid of errors it is generally a more reliable source than The Times. I hope that you are successful in getting BR to reinstate the Nat Champs winners book; Helena Smalman-Smith (of rowingstory.com) was bemoaning its loss just this morning, and I know that one member of the Nat Champs Committee worked hard to get it all scanned. --David Biddulph (talk) 15:14, 10 August 2020 (UTC)
LTA question
Is there a report relating to this editor you reverted? They specialise in adding lengthy lists of attendees to events, generally messing up the job titles of most of the people concerned. I'm just working on an ANI post and I saw that revert when checking the history of an article relating to my complaint. Thank you. FDW777 (talk) 21:30, 11 August 2020 (UTC)
- Obviously same as User talk:112.210.60.157, but that was 3 years ago. The admin who gave that IP the 2nd block & referred to LTA may know, but hasn't been active this month. --David Biddulph (talk) 23:27, 11 August 2020 (UTC)

Kingston
Hi David, Re- Kingston, other events are going to follow but it is much easier to edit them by event rather than search every event for each individual club so please don't revert the honours edits. The plan is to go through all events and add, I hope that makes sense. many thanks Racingmanager (talk) 18:37, 28 August 2020 (UTC)
- While it is incomplete you ought to include a note that says so. Perhaps {{under construction |section= yes }}, which you can remove when you've finished? I wonder whether other editors will feel that the length of section that such lists will entail for the successful clubs would be excessive; Leander, for example, have (I think) 80 (or more than 140 including composites), and more in small boat events. --David Biddulph (talk) 18:46, 28 August 2020 (UTC)

I was actually wondering how you moved it back? I was clicking undo on the history page for the Road Roller page but it said the action had already been done or something like that. I then went to the redirect page and there was no way for me to undo it from there. Would you mind if you could tell me how you did it so for next time if it happens, which probably won't, or if I see something like this, I could revert it back?

Military
Hi.Check that article Military. User changed that rankings of militaries, blanked credit suisse source what is kind of academic and added some blog called globalfirepower as a source. I think to it is wrong and to it is just a blog and it looks like a mess. Here is talk page about that blog at military article talk page "About Updating the military power comparison list Capability development section". Seems no consensus and fail verification as a source. Also on talk page I saw to credit suisse list is used until new relevant source make a new list. So check it maybe it is just some vandalism and that article is protected and me as IP can't revert it or change it.

Speedy deletion nomination of Dingo Pictures
If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.
A tag has been placed on Dingo Pictures requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G4 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appears to be a repost of material that was previously deleted following a deletion discussion, at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Dingo Pictures. When a page has substantially identical content to that of a page deleted after a discussion, and any changes in the content do not address the reasons for which the material was previously deleted, it may be deleted at any time.
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, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here.

Indian Claims Commission errors
Mr. Biddulph:
It seems all of my attempts to edit the Wikipedia page on the Indian Claims Commission have been denied, and the only name associated with that that I found on my History page is yours, so I'm writing to ask what you suggest. FYI, I published THE RECORDS OF THE INDIAN CLAIMS COMMISSION over a period of about 8 years, 1962-1980, including two books I wrote (compiled) and thousands of microfiches based on my personal research. I happily give Wikipedia permission to publish anything I submit that is copyrighted, and I assure you I have no financial interest (or conflict of interest), having sold the publishing rights (sans copyright) in 1987. I thought I should post an article written for me by Harry Webb, Chief Counsel of the ICC, that I included in one of my books, in order to satisfy Wikipedia's need for 'authority.' However, I am probably the most knowledgeable person on the ICC alive, so I should be acceptable as an authority. Among the items I published was a Legislative History of the ICC created by my friends at Wilkinson, Cragun & Barker, the law firm that represented more of the tribes than any other, and which was involved from 1929 onward in trying to get the bill passed, thus refuting the statement that the ICC's purpose was to thank the Indians for their contributions during WW II. I was present on the last day of the ICC's existence, after which they lent me their original final documents to my microfiche edition would be complete! That was their level of trust in me. (I subsequently delivered them to NARA.) If Wikipedia doesn't want, for some reason, to publish Harry Webb's article, I can use it as a source document and write my own. In any case, I think it's important that the page should be corrected because it is replete with errors. Please let me know your thgouths.
Norman20c (talk) 21:57, 3 January 2021 (UTC)Norman20c
- My only involvement on that page was to revert one malformatted edit which removed an existing reference. I see that there was some discussion on the copyright issues on your user talk page; one of the contributors there forgot to sign his message so I have added the missing signature. You can continue the discussion there, or with the two editors involved, or on the talk page of the article (though that may not have many viewers). On your general point on being "probably the most knowledgeable person on the ICC alive", you will find some advice at WP:Expert editors. On the copyright issue, it is not sufficient to "give Wikipedia permission to publish anything I submit that is copyrighted"; you can find further advice on donating copyrighted material.

Indian Claims Commission errors
Mr. Biddulph: I'm not sure where you got the quote you attributed to me recently, however I proposed to use an article for the page for which I own the copyright. I don't see why that should be a problem. And I can send you a copy of the copyright notice in the book. I just retrieved my copy of the Final Report of the ICC and I scanned 3 pages that I can send you if you'd like, together with the title page of one of the books I wrote. It seems to me that if I were at Wikipedia and received the comments I've been writing, I would be very anxious to correct the page in question, yet I seem to only get advice to read things that mostly aren't relevant. Is there a way we can make some progress on correcting the original page and its myriad errors? 21:01, 8 January 2021 (UTC)Norman Ross — Preceding unsigned comment added by Norman20c (talk • contribs)

User 79.79.143.58
Hello David Biddulph. Today I had to revert an edit made to East Midlands Railway made by 79.79.143.58. The edit summary claimed that it was a typo fix however on closer inspection it turned out to be a whole sentence. I therefore reverted it as "Misleading edit summary. Removing a whole sentence is not fixing a typo." I was going to issue a warning however I see you have already issued the highest warning possible. I was wondering if you could possibly lead me in the right direction on how to proceed about this as clearly the user has not listened to previous warnings. Thanks E.Wright1852 (talk) 15:55, 15 February 2021 (UTC)
- The editor who had previously warned the IP reported them this afternoon to WP:AIV, but the admins didn't get round to doing anything about the report before the bot removed it as stale. --David Biddulph (talk) 23:15, 15 February 2021 (UTC)

Hi! I rejected a pending change to the Big Ben article, apparently while someone was making another change that would need to be rejected, too.

Template:Digital clock
Hello. Completely unrelated to the Canary Islands article, I see that you are utilizing Template:Digital clock or a variant. I have been working on my User page in my sandbox when I came across Template:Digital clock and date. It was a little work to get it to display how I like it, but have a look and see what you think (for use on your User page). It is true; according to Anakin101 (see § Your clock), it does not automatically adjust for BST (equivalent to DST in the U.S.). When the template substitution is converted, it looks rather messy and complicated in the source code, so you may want to look there; I've added line breaks and hidden notes to make things easier for myself. I hope you find it useful if you decide to adapt some of it to your page.
Well wishes and good health. — Christopher, Sheridan, OR (talk) 15:39, 24 May 2021 (UTC)
2021 Virtual SHORR
Re "No race in 2021" – there was a 'virtual' head, organised by the same people and plenty of crews did enter.

This user has thrown personal insults, vandalized the article, is not willing to conversate on the talk page, and violated the 3rd policy. [14] Ayaltimo (talk) 08:19, 16 June 2021 (UTC)

Sending you my favorite beverage, coffee. (Apologies if you're more of a tea drinker.) Thank you for answering my question in Wiki Teahouse. Now I understand! Busypencil (talk) 22:30, 7 July 2021 (UTC) |
Why did you cancel the broken links deletion I did?
Hi David, I am still learning how to contribute better on Wikipedia and always happy to improve. I was just wondering why you cancel the broken links I removed from the "links" sections of the brussels page Not very useful to keep them..., but I am sure you have a good reason :-) So please explain to me what I did wrong. Thx! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Xof2328 (talk • contribs) 12:48, 13 July 2021 (UTC)

Eric Joyce page
Thanks for you comments, David. I've placed a (flawed, as quite new and unsure how to determine versions) request for admin action on that page and I've also notified the user at their talk page. I'd appreciate any more pointers. SteveCree2 (talk) 14:59, 20 July 2021 (UTC)
