Ok, this is getting silly

I was under the impression that the correct way to respond to a talk page post was not by deleting it and responding in the edit summary. Please correct me if I'm wrong (which is the whole reason I raised this in the first place).

Equally I am free to choose the topics on which I will participate and to whom I will respond. In your case, neither applies. --John Maynard Friedman (talk) 16:51, 5 April 2019 (UTC)

OK I am going to assume that you are a helpful editor willing to clarify the rules to new members like me. That you have not clarified any rules, therefore, means that I did not break any. Thank-you for clearing that up for me.

Provenance of montage for Milton Keynes

GA Suggestions

I am responding to your request for GA suggestions. Look at the history, and you will see two tools I have run for you. I have some suggstions, but I wonder about the process of achieving GA status. Is it better for me to make changes, or for me to make suggestions for improvements here on your talk page? Alternatively, if you send me an email from my talk page, I can respond there quietly. Only once have I helped an editor achieve GA status, and that was five years ago. Reply right here, or by email, please.--Dthomsen8 (talk) 00:38, 26 April 2019 (UTC)

@Dthomsen8:, thank you for your help. I'll be happy with which ever you do, but I suspect that it will take less of your time to just make the edits rather than write me an explanation. I will be able to see what you have done and query anything I don't understand. Thank you again. --John Maynard Friedman (talk) 10:22, 26 April 2019 (UTC)

By the way, I am intrigued as to why you considered the UK's largest planned city to be of 'low' importance in 'Urban studies and planning'? (I foresee a reprise of the line in 'Hitch-hiker's Guide to the Galaxy' where Planet Earth was upgraded on appeal from 'harmless' to 'mostly harmless' :-) --John Maynard Friedman (talk) 19:46, 26 April 2019 (UTC)

Victoria County History

Just FYI, the Victoria County History series has been published continually since its inception. Volumes continue to be revised and published. Alarichall (talk) 19:50, 28 April 2019 (UTC)

Brexit Negotiations

Thanks for your edit on Brexit negotiations. An IP editor, 62.248.185.44, has added "possible" to the article's lead sentence several times (I reverted this twice). I posted about this on the talk page, and another user weighed in; I thought this was the end of it but I saw today's edits. As I understand it, Brexit is not "possible" but will go forward because the UK has passed its referendum and invoked Article 50; the negotiations are over specific issues such as trade and migration. Was I wrong to assume this? Would appreciate your take and maybe we should keep an eye on the article. Thanks! Foreignshore (talk) 02:03, 22 April 2019 (UTC)

Clarification, there are apparently two IP's who are making the same edits: 62.248.185.28 and 62.248.185.44. Thanks. Foreignshore (talk) 02:16, 22 April 2019 (UTC)

It would appear our IP editor (same person?) is back at Brexit negotiations. I don't want to start an edit war here and Wikipedia is supposed to be all about consensus. What do you think? Thanks. Foreignshore (talk) 16:21, 29 April 2019 (UTC)
