January 2014 edit
Hello, I'm Flat Out. I noticed that you made a change to an article, Jonathan King, but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so! If you need guidance on referencing, please see the referencing for beginners tutorial, or if you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you.

Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did at Ludovic Kennedy. Your edits appear to be disruptive and have been reverted or removed.
- If you are engaged in an article content dispute with another editor then please discuss the matter with the editor at their talk page, or the article's talk page. Alternatively you can read Wikipedia's dispute resolution page, and ask for independent help at one of the relevant notice boards.
- If you are engaged in any other form of dispute that is not covered on the dispute resolution page, please seek assistance at Wikipedia's Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents.
Please ensure you are familiar with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines, and please do not continue to make edits that appear disruptive, until the dispute is resolved through consensus. Continuing to edit disruptively could result in loss of editing privileges. Thank you. Flat Out let's discuss it 04:56, 17 January 2014 (UTC)
Please stop making unsourced changes to this article, and changing the lead without consensus. There is barely any reference to "film producer" in the body of the article. Editing a biography of a living person must be by consensus.Flat Out let's discuss it 05:12, 17 January 2014 (UTC) Have removed film producer. Other changes covered in article below.
Your recent editing history shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war. Being involved in an edit war can result in your being blocked from editing—especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring—even if you don't violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.
To avoid being blocked, instead of reverting please consider using the article's talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. See BRD for how this is done. You can post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection. DeCausa (talk) 09:30, 17 January 2014 (UTC)
I am glad to see that you are discussing a topic. However, as a general rule, talk pages such as Talk:Jonathan King are for discussion related to improving the article, not general discussion about the topic or unrelated topics. If you have specific questions about certain topics, consider visiting our reference desk and asking them there instead of on article talk pages. Thank you.

- I don't think that any of your edits were WP:VANDALISM, but there is a need to ensure that people approaching the article without first hand knowledge of the subject matter can verify what is being said. It is known that sources like SongFacts and IMDb are not ideal, and that mistakes do creep into articles sometimes when they are used. Also, the website King of Hits, which has been used to verify quite a few of the statements in Jonathan King, has issues with being affiliated to the subject matter involved. There have been attempts to ensure that there are no unambiguous errors of fact in the article, and anyone (yes, even Jonathan King) is free to provide sourcing that will correct them. Unusually, Wikipedians have e-mailed BASCA twice to ask whether Paloma Blanca won an Ivor Novello Award; on both occasions the answer was no. This remains a puzzle, so it is not in the article for the time being.--♦IanMacM♦ (talk to me) 07:38, 18 January 2014 (UTC)
