August 2020

Hello, I'm Synoman Barris. I wanted to let you know that I reverted one of your recent contributions —specifically this edit to Daniel Grant (footballer)—because it did not appear constructive. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. If you have any questions, you can ask for assistance at the Help desk. Thanks. Megan Barris (Lets talk📧) 21:35, 22 August 2020 (UTC)

Hello, I only changed it because on the bio it says a different date of birth. Thank you

Sorry, it was a mistake, I have  Reverted myself . Regards Megan Barris (Lets talk📧) 21:39, 22 August 2020 (UTC)

Cool thank you

Sean Roughan

Hiya. I saw that you added a fada and moved Sean Roughan. Do you have any evidence for this? It's not a case of what it should be, it's a casse of how he actually spells it, and in every source I can find it's without one. Chris (talk) 06:52, 6 September 2020 (UTC)

Fair point, the edit was out of sentiment more than anything else I suppose.

August 2021

Hello, I'm LTFC 95. I noticed that you added or changed content in an article, Luton Town F.C., but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so. You can have a look at referencing for beginners. If you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. LTFC 95 (talk) 12:03, 23 August 2021 (UTC)

February 2022

Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did at Islam in association football. Your edits appear to constitute vandalism and have been reverted. If you would like to experiment, please use your sandbox. Repeated vandalism may result in the loss of editing privileges. Thank you. GiantSnowman 19:39, 8 February 2022 (UTC)

My fault for not checking the references first, but this could do with editing because it contains out-dated information. Thank you

June 2022

This is your only warning; if you remove or blank page contents or templates from Wikipedia again, as you did at Mick Lynch (trade unionist), you may be blocked from editing without further notice. Jalen Folf (talk) 19:12, 6 June 2022 (UTC)

Hello, apologies, I appreciate I may have been in the wrong with my actions here. However, I'd just like to express how I feel in the hope you can do something about it. I am the son of the person who this page is regarding (Mick Lynch). I'm not sure if you have noticed, but I frequently come across false assertions about my father when visiting this page, and he has told me he would prefer not to have a Wikipedia page regarding his profile, hence why I removed the content of this page. In order to prevent false information circulating on Wikipedia and to meet the request of my father, I am politely requesting for this page to be deleted, and if there are any formal processes I have to go about to delete it, I'd be happy to fulfil these, though I made you to explain them to me. Or if it is in your power to delete the page, I'd be most grateful if you did. Thank you very much. Jameslynch99 (talk) 11:32, 8 June 2022 (UTC)

Hello, did you receive my earlier message which I sent the day before yesterday? Jameslynch99 (talk) 13:03, 10 June 2022 (UTC)

James, taking your word that Mick Lynch is your father, you have a Conflict of interest in the subject. As such, you should not directly edit the page. There is a process for removal of articles on Wikipedia - WP:AFD. As the leader of a major trades union in the UK, it is likely that our threshold for notability has been reached, and any attempt to delete the article via AFD is likely to fail.

I appreciate this is probably not the news you wanted to hear. However, there is a very important policy here on Wikipedia, the policy on biographies of living people (BLP). Any material that is in breach of BLP may be freely removed, even by yourself. If there are serious and continual breaches of BLP, they may be reported to WP:BLPN, which is the noticeboad that deals with such issues. You will appreciate that Mick Lynch's article is going to attract significant attention in the short term due to the current industrial action by RMT. Our job at Wikipedia is to neutrally report on issues, and put aside whatever feelings we have for or against the strike action. The article has been semi-protected for a couple of weeks in an effort to cut down the vandalism and poor editing.

Once your block expires, you are welcome to raise any issues with the articly either at Talk:Mick Lynch (trade unionist) or at WT:UKT, which is the talk page of the Wikiproject covering railways in the UK. Any questions please reply here, using {{ping|Mjroots}} at the start of your reply so that I get notified that you have replied. Mjroots (talk) 12:52, 22 June 2022 (UTC)

Ok thank you very much - I appreciate you taking time to acknowledge my request and explaining clearly the policies of Wikipedia Jameslynch99 (talk) 19:13, 26 June 2022 (UTC)

You have been blocked from editing for a period of 24 hours for persistently making disruptive edits. Once the block has expired, you are welcome to make useful contributions.

If you think there are good reasons for being unblocked, please read the guide to appealing blocks, then add the following text below the block notice on your talk page: {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}.  Graham Beards (talk) 10:51, 22 June 2022 (UTC)

@Jameslynch99: ask yer da bout that time I argued discussed with him Connolly's view on the union as vanguard of the working class and the necessity of a syndicalist approach. The discussion—and drinking—lasted all the way from the Lucas Arms to the Central Line platforms at Holborn. Great days.

@Graham Beards: why couldn't this a partial block, which would allow discussion to continue to take place on the relevant user/talk pages? 2A02:C7C:36B1:FB00:3517:42A:F658:AA8B (talk) 17:43, 26 June 2022 (UTC)

Erm... the block expired three days ago. Graham Beards (talk) 18:57, 26 June 2022 (UTC)

There was no need for any block. It was very rude the way you blocked me with out respecting or even acknowledging my request which I made at a time where me and my dad's family are under a lot of pressure. Fair play to Mjroots for doing your work for you. I would recommend working on your manner. Jameslynch99 (talk) 19:12, 26 June 2022 (UTC)

Thanks for the advice. I would recommend working on your grammar. Graham Beards (talk) 06:48, 27 June 2022 (UTC)

And as well as offering you advice I am asking you to respect my feelings before blocking me because I obeyed the instructions of the person this page concerns. Please do this in the future instead of just blocking people Jameslynch99 (talk) 13:19, 27 June 2022 (UTC)

You can read our policy on blocking here Wikipedia:Blocking policy.Graham Beards (talk) 13:29, 27 June 2022 (UTC)

I'll only be able to do that if you show me my grammatical mistakes - so please do so, thanks Jameslynch99 (talk) 13:12, 27 June 2022 (UTC)

I will show him this my friend and see if he remembers. When I show him I will type what he says in response :) Jameslynch99 (talk) 19:12, 26 June 2022 (UTC)

Managing a conflict of interest

Hello, Jameslynch99. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about on the page Mick Lynch (trade unionist), you may have a conflict of interest (COI). Editors with a conflict of interest may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic. See the conflict of interest guideline and FAQ for organizations for more information. We ask that you:

• avoid editing or creating articles about yourself, your family, friends, colleagues, company, organization, clients, or competitors;
• propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (you can use the {{request edit}} template);
• disclose your conflict of interest when discussing affected articles (see Wikipedia:Conflict of interest#How to disclose a COI);
• avoid linking to your organization's website in other articles (see Wikipedia:Spam#External link spamming);
• do your best to comply with Wikipedia's content policies.

In addition, you are required by the Wikimedia Foundation's terms of use to disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution which forms all or part of work for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation. See Wikipedia:Paid-contribution disclosure.

Also, editing for the purpose of advertising, publicising, or promoting anyone or anything is not permitted. Thank you. Tacyarg (talk) 21:54, 15 December 2022 (UTC)

Hi, please do not edit the Mick Lynch (trade unionist) article. You were informed of the CoI policy in June. You can request changes on the article's Talk page. Tacyarg (talk) 21:21, 16 December 2022 (UTC)

You cannot force me not to make editions which I know reflect the truth. If I know there is something contained in this article that I know to be misleading I am going to delete it. Jameslynch99 (talk) 21:44, 16 December 2022 (UTC)
