British Rail Class 711 edit

Hello, 165.225.81.49,

Please do not delete the entire content from a page and then redirect the article to an empty page. This is extremely disruptive, eliminates valid content and if you do it again, you will receive a block. Thank you. Liz Read! Talk! 00:02, 20 September 2019 (UTC)Reply

April 2020 edit

  Hello, I'm CLCStudent. I noticed that you made an edit concerning content related to a living (or recently deceased) person on Simon Nelson, 10th Earl Nelson, but you didn't support your changes with a citation to a reliable source, so I removed it. Wikipedia has a very strict policy concerning how we write about living people, so please help us keep such articles accurate and clear. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you! CLCStudent (talk) 16:24, 23 April 2020 (UTC)Reply
