Royal Exchange edits

Your edits to those two articles contained insults and violated our neutral point of view policy. Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, not an opinion forum. Leebo ^T/C 22:35, 22 July 2007 (UTC)

"Two articles" ? Oinky 11:11, 23 July 2007 (UTC)

Royal Exchange (London) and Tourmaline. Leebo ^T/C 11:56, 23 July 2007 (UTC)৳৳

Got it. So, for example, if I wrote in the Tourmaline article that Theo Fennell do not reveal the heat-treatment status of stones they sell in jewellery as rubellite that would be ok because it is a fact, but if I say they are terrible jewellers for doing so that would be an insult and not ok ?

It would certainly be better, but it would still require a reliable source for the information. As an encyclopedia, Wikipedia requires that all information be verifiable. If you have a newspaper article or similar source, then it's fine. If it's your own original research, then it's not. Leebo ^T/C 11:19, 24 July 2007 (UTC)

Re: Winnie-the-Pooh-Society, Cambridge

Dear Friend: I have replied to your illuminating post on the discussion page for Andrew Sullivan, as to whether Mr. Sullivan WAS or WAS NOT "piglet" in this student society. I believe we are onto a big story, here. WHAT IS HE HIDING??? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Andrew_Sullivan Codenamemary (talk) 19:46, 9 December 2010 (UTC)

Hello

Hi Oinky. There seems to be an edit war going on at Andrew Sullivan. The statement you added is not cohesive where you placed and is out of place. The subject you referenced is no where else in the article, so the addition makes no sense. Please discuss issues on the talk page and don't edit war, as that is contrary to a productive atmosphere on Wikipedia, as I'm sure you may know. ツ Teammm ^{(talk · email)} 14:00, 21 August 2012 (UTC)

"The subject you referenced is no where else in the article, so the addition makes no sense" That's not correct. The subject I referenced is Sullivan's election to office which is mentioned (another contributor's words, not mine) in the preceding half of the same sentence - I simply added a subordinate clause to an existing factual statement. Please read my edit again. If you still think it is "not cohesive" and "out of place" I would be grateful for an explanation of where in the article it would sit better. I don't intend to waste any more of time editing this particular article given the reaction of certain people, but I am genuinely puzzled by the supposed rationale. I would love to think that professional standards of biographical writing are being applied here, but I do appreciate that other contributors are doing their best in a field which is not their "day job". If you can shed any light to reassure me that would be great. I have messaged you directly as well. Thank you Oinky (talk) 12:36, 22 August 2012 (UTC)

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help.
