Persistent removal of content by IP only user edits edit

The edit I performed on the 26th May added a new section which briefly described the current situation as pertains to Craighouse, Edinburgh. This edit has been three times reverted by IP only users. The material I added on the 26th May is both neutral in tone and cites numerous sources. If further reverts are considered, it would be helpful if a discussion could be held first.

The page also needs renaming as it is not "Craig House" but rather "Craighouse". I will do this once I've edited the requisite four articles, or if someone else can do the move that would be appreciated.

Out of Date info edit

The end of this article includes mention of a pressure group and promotion of local politicians, which as usual failed to prevent the development. This section should be shortened.-86.178.167.254 (talk) 13:35, 2 August 2020 (UTC)Reply

Agreed and done. Dormskirk (talk) 15:41, 2 August 2020 (UTC)Reply

RS Qmile you need to explain if your text is a replacement or an addition: the template instructions say "Clearly indicate which sections or phrases should be replaced or added to, and what they should be replaced with or have added. Examples: Change X to Y; Insert X after/before Y; Remove X." TSventon (talk) 14:06, 7 January 2021 (UTC)Reply
RS Qmile, you may be interested in suggesting updates to the Edinburgh Napier University and Craiglockhart articles as well. TSventon (talk) 14:54, 8 January 2021 (UTC)Reply
Oppose. This content doesn’t add significant value to the article and is heavily leaning towards promotional text. Furthermore, related to the name change, there's ample usage of both Craighouse and Craig House here, here, or here. As there seems to be no clear consensus on the proper naming, I suggest to keep it as it is.Ferkijel (talk) 17:02, 29 April 2021 (UTC)Reply
