References edit

This is a wondrous article but it very urgently needs references. However I have provisionally upgraded it to a "C" in recognition of the effort and quality of the text. But please - refs. Sarah777 (talk) 11:57, 21 March 2010 (UTC)Reply

I did wonder whether the copying was the other way round, but this edit is decisive. -- John of Reading (talk) 12:24, 18 January 2011 (UTC)Reply

References edit

It is important that information in the article can be cited back to original sources. Please concentrate on citing existing content rather than persistently trying to add unsourced information. Thankyou.Djm-leighpark (talk) 18:22, 16 May 2020 (UTC)Reply

Coming from Cloone, I am the source, if you were from Cloone you would know that what I write is factual. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.189.229.13 (talk) 19:45, 16 May 2020 (UTC)Reply

Unfortunately that is not sufficient. Please ask at the for example the WP:TEAHOUSE for more/independent advice. If you can find WP:V sources then all will be good; but if you aren't prepared to work that way then unfortuntely it will be necessary to remove things; and ultimately your edits will be seen as disruptive.

Thankyou for adding a source. I hope I (and others) will typically and generally lean to accepting pending changes with reasonable sourcing attempts with Pending changes.Djm-leighpark (talk) 11:09, 18 May 2020 (UTC)Reply

Possible pending changes to semi protection edit

In a nutshell if anon IPs persist in presenting the same unsourced (notably climate data at the moment) to pending changes that will simply result in the protection level of the page having to go up from Pending changes to Semi-Protection where anon IPs will find it much harder and painful to make contributions (not too difficult if you know what your doing and how to do it).
