Hello, I'm Materialscientist. I wanted to let you know that I reverted one of your recent contributions—specifically this edit to Inverkeithing—because it did not appear constructive. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. If you have any questions, you can ask for assistance at the Teahouse or the Help desk. Thanks.

Hi Material scientist, can you correct for me then that Inverkeithing is not a port town (it is a coastal town) and that the miles to Edinburgh is referring to Edinburgh City centre, as these are the important corrections that the original article got very wrong - and they are now back.

Please do not add or significantly change content without citing verifiable and reliable sources, as you did with this edit to Inverkeithing. Before making any potentially controversial edits, it is recommended that you discuss them first on the article's talk page. Please review the guidelines at Wikipedia:Citing sources and take this opportunity to add references to the article. AgisdeSparte (talk) 01:13, 21 December 2023 (UTC)

Hi, I understand this, but you deleted my addition of the town coat of arms for Inverkeithing? A lot of work that was verifiable was deleted? Can you add these things back rather than deleting lots of useful work? What specifically did you have a problem with and can you reinstate my edits so then I can add the sources? this page is now missing so many true and verifiable edits now.

my section on Letham Hill Wood had a proper reference - why did you remove this? People will want to know about this important feature of the town and no they cannot see it. Harrybean07 (talk) 01:37, 21 December 2023 (UTC)

I don't believe you fairly removed the Inverkeithing town coat of arms from the page. I cannot have another reference for an image which is from Wikipedia commons, described an entitled as the Inverkeithing coat of arms. I don't believe it is controversial to include a coat of arms in a section for a coat of arms for a town with a coat of arms. Please explain therefore why you deleted this? Can you reinstate it for me? Harrybean07 (talk) 01:45, 21 December 2023 (UTC)

Hi Materialscientist.

First of all I want to say I have listened to you. I have put a message into the discussion asking for ideas on the changes I wanted to make. I genuinely did not feel they were controversial, but I understand it is worth asking to confirm no one thinks strongly about expanding the article to Economy or putting climate in with geography for example.

Second of all, I believe I can see a discrepancy between your editing and Wikipedia's policies which I would like clarification on. You deleted my correction of 9.5mi instead of 9mi for a distance. The distance is 9.5mi as of websites where you can check map distances. However this cannot be cited. Distances from a relatively obscure town are not found in citable books. Hence why the 9mi figure was also not cited. You removed my accurate correction.

From now on I will cite absolutely all information properly according to wiki guidelines where possible. But there are some things that cannot be cited. Please do not delete these things before checking them yourself. Harrybean07 (talk) 02:33, 21 December 2023 (UTC)
