editI reverted your edits to Paddy Roberts for a few reasons:
- WP:Biographies of living persons sets a very, very high standard of evidence when writing about living people, for the obvious reason that Wikipedia does not want to get sued for libel, anmongst other reasons. Your edits provided little in the way of supporting evidence,a dn a lot of them seemed like rumour and innuendo. See Wikipedia:Reliable sources for more information on what sources you should be looking for.
- The formatting of your edits violated a lot of Wikipedia:Manual of Style. I recommend that you familiarize yourself with some of it. For example, the Wikipedia style for capitalizing headings is to use "sentence case" instead of "title case", e.g., Important things to know about this subject, not :Important Things to Know About This Subject, i.e., capitalize the heading the same way you would capitalize any sentence:
- capitalize the first word,
- capitalize any proper nouns (people, places, organizations), and
- begin all other words with lower case letters.
See WP:MSH for more information.
Also, quotations should not be formatted in boldface text or in italic text, and certainly not in both.
Articles should be written in a neutral tone, see WP:NPOV. The use of "scare quotes" is discouraged. If the words are not accurate and need to be qualified with scare quotes, choose other words that are accurate.
I hope this helps. Ground Zero | t 21:29, 15 June 2009 (UTC)
