Wikipedia Wars and the Israel-Palestine conflict...please fill out my survey?

Hello :) I am writing my MA dissertation on Wikipedia Wars and the Israel-Palestine conflict, and I noticed that you have contributed to those pages. My dissertation will look at the process of collaborative knowledge production on the Israel-Palestine conflict, and the effect it has on bias in the articles. This will involve understanding the profiles and motivations of editors, contention/controversy and dispute resolution in the talk pages, and bias in the final article.

For more information, you can check out my meta-wiki research page or my user page, where I will be posting my findings when I am done.

I would greatly appreciate if you could take 5 minutes to fill out this quick survey before 8 August 2021.

Participation in this survey is entirely voluntary and anonymous. There are no foreseeable risks nor benefits to you associated with this project.

Thanks so much,

Sarah Sanbar

Langdon Court Update

Hi, I updated the 'recent owners' section on the Langdon Court page today. My first foray into the puzzling world of Wiki. It was then removed by you with a message that I do not understand at all. Please explain what I should have done. My update was:

On Richard Cory’s death in 1926 the estate became the property of his trustees and was put up for sale. However it did not sell and so was split up into smaller lots and offered again in 1927. The house and surrounding land was bought by AEB Becheley-Crundall who was a property speculator. He held it until 1929 then sold it to Mrs. Kenyon-Slaney with 10 acres (40,000 m2) of land. She lived in the house until the beginning of the Second World War when she feared for being under the flight path of German Bombers heading for Plymouth Dockyard so put the house up for sale to enable her to move to Ashburton. For the same reason Eagle Oil, who had premises in Union Street, Plymouth, bought the house and moved in. Shortly after this it was requisitioned by the MOD as the HQ of Western Command, Coastal Artillery. After the war the MOD moved out and Eagle Oil were taken over by Shell. In 1946 Langdon Court was purchased by the City Council of Plymouth and used as a children’s convalescent home.[8] until 1958. Occupied solely by a caretaker and his family for the next two years it was then sold in 1960 to K J Powell, who owned Glenholt Holiday Camp. Some work was carried out to convert the building into the Langdon Court Hotel, most obviously the present car park, but more ambitious plans to build holiday camp style cabins were refused planning permission. Powell sold the building in 1964 to Alex and Jo Milner who ran it as a hotel until 1969 when they sold it to David and Joan Wagstaff. The Wagstaffs inserted a first floor ballroom and made several other hotel relevant improvements before retiring and selling on to John and Shiela Barnes and Alan and Ann Cox in 1979. They retired in turn in 2001, selling to Mark and Ruth Jones. They ran it as a successful hotel before moving on and selling it to Geoffrey and Emma Ede in 2007. In 2018 the hotel was bought by the Carlauren Group.[9]. Carlauren Group's Heritage Hotels division almost immediately went into administration in December 2019,[10] and Langdon Court Hotel was closed in June 2020 after losses caused by the COVID-19 pandemic.[11] As of August 2021 Langdon Court has been bought by Robert Walton.
