Gilgamesh4
Welcome!

Hi - thanks for the welcome message - could I ask your advice about something? Yesterday I edited the Barton-on-Sea page with "The village gives its name to the Bartonian age of the Eocene epoch of geological time." This was reverted as 'unsourced content'. I would have thought that the links to other wikipedia pages would count as 'sourced content'? Should I undo the deletion, and if so, what message should I use to explain this to the other editor? (My instinct is to make contact with the other editor but I wanted to clarify the 'wikipedia links' point before doing that)
More broadly, is there a resource you could point me to to help with this sort of issue? (I couldn't see anything directly relevant to my question in the links you gave above)
Many thanks

update - I reinstated the text with an added reference - hopefully that will suffice - Gilgamesh4 (talk) 10:12, 4 January 2017 (UTC)
- Other Wikipedia articles don't really "count" as a reference. Because the content can be changed by anyone at any time, this can prove problematic, not that circular citations are a good idea in academia, anyways. Use the kind of references talked about here---in this case, perhaps some sort of reliable academic website or article off Wikipedia will do.

I dream of horses Thank you - My added reference satisfied the other editor to the point where he was prepared to leave the text (but with his added word 'may')

- Sorry. I hadn't read that part of the page. It seems to have been applied inconsistently (which I now see was what you were trying to correct). Apologies for my confusion. --David Biddulph (talk) 12:56, 6 January 2017 (UTC)
- David Biddulph No worries - I'd got this wrong with my initial edits, then read MOS:CAPS so made the changes - Wikipedia gets there in the end . . . :-)
- I hope I've now undone all my erroneous reverts. --David Biddulph (talk) 13:04, 6 January 2017 (UTC)
Disambiguation link notification for May 9 edit
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited List of bombings during the Northern Ireland Troubles and peace process, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Guildford railway station. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Important Notice edit
This is a standard message to notify contributors about an administrative ruling in effect. It does not imply that there are any issues with your contributions to date.
You have shown interest in living or recently deceased people, and edits relating to the subject (living or recently deceased) of such biographical articles. Due to past disruption in this topic area, a more stringent set of rules called discretionary sanctions is in effect. Any administrator may impose sanctions on editors who do not strictly follow Wikipedia's policies, or the page-specific restrictions, when making edits related to the topic.
For additional information, please see the guidance on discretionary sanctions and the Arbitration Committee's decision here. If you have any questions, or any doubts regarding what edits are appropriate, you are welcome to discuss them with me or any other editor.
