Problematic edits

edit

This is in reply to ShwmaePawb1's comment on my user talk page.

As I described in my edit summary I reverted your edits because of "too many formatting errors and unsourced content". I am disappointed that you have recreated the same problems rather than discussing them here, please see Wikipedia:BOLD, revert, discuss cycle.

My issues with your current version include:

  • "as you see on a sign as you enter the village"
this should be in a reference, not in the main text
Either one or the other, not both. I prefer 'Wales'.
By convention, this should follow the English name
  • "Situated on East Street and Goytre Road."
ungrammatical
  • "The Former"
Should be lower case: "The former".
  • "It closed down in late 2017. Also as of 2019 it has been put up for sale since its closure.
No source is provided and there is no good reason for this to be in bold text. You have separated the citation from the sentence.
  • "(English: Three Trees)"
No source. The origins of places names are often not what they seem at first sight.
We have said it is a village. Is it also a district?
Unsourced, and not listed in List of communities in Wales
This links to a disambiguation page, you should have linked Bryn, Neath Port Talbot
  • Reference for the Goytre United F.C sentence
Do not cite Wikipedia in Wikipedia articles (see WP:NOTSOURCE). Moreover, a picture of the club's logo is of no use as a source.
  • Infobox
This should be positioned at the top right corner. Many editors would say that an article this small is better without an infobox.

Please answer or resolve these points, or I will revert again. Verbcatcher (talk) 20:02, 6 April 2020 (UTC)Reply
