Hi, the recent edit you made to The Victorian Society has been reverted, as it appears to be unconstructive. Use the sandbox for testing; if you believe the edit was constructive, ensure that you provide an informative edit summary. You may also wish to read the introduction to editing. Thanks. _{WEBURIEDOURSECRETSINTHEGARDEN} 12:30, 9 March 2008 (UTC)

You removed the tags at the top of the page. These are there to let others know that the article must be improved in those areas. You may add information, but please don't remove the tags._{WEBURIEDOURSECRETSINTHEGARDEN} 18:31, 9 March 2008 (UTC)

They might be ugly, but they do aid editors. I'm afraid there's no workaround for this. _{WEBURIEDOURSECRETSINTHEGARDEN} 18:38, 9 March 2008 (UTC)

Please don't remove or change reference handling code without first gaining consensus as you did here - . -- John (Daytona2 · Talk · Contribs) 15:51, 10 April 2008 (UTC)

As you can see, a link was moved from that page to another as it was more relevant there. Also content was added. My changes were then vandalised. Tony May (talk) 21:40, 7 November 2008 (UTC)

List of LMS locomotives as of 1947-12-31

It would be nice if you would at least explain why you keep reverting my change to the dates in List of LMS locomotives as of 1947-12-31. At least a comment on the talk page would be good behaviour. Thank you. MilborneOne (talk) 18:21, 7 November 2008 (UTC)

Thank for the reply I have commented on the talk page. Please note I am considering proposing to move the article to the better List of LMS locomotives as of 31 December 1947 as being more sensible. But I have asked for opinions at Misplaced Pages talk:WikiProject UK Railways. Your comments are welcome. MilborneOne (talk) 18:44, 7 November 2008 (UTC)

BR locomotive numbering

There is no single version of history and sources often disagree. If you have sources which you believe to be more reliable than mine then you are free to edit the relevant articles accordingly. Biscuittin (talk) 10:34, 10 November 2008 (UTC)

The Three-Revert Rule

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Edward Talbot. Note that the three-revert rule prohibits making more than three reversions on a single page within a 24 hour period. Additionally, users who perform a large number of reversions in content disputes may be blocked for edit warring, even if they do not technically violate the three-revert rule. If you continue, you may be blocked from editing. Please do not repeatedly revert edits, but use the talk page to work towards wording and content that gains a consensus among editors. If necessary, pursue dispute resolution. ←Signed:→Mr. E. Sánchez / _{Talk to me!}←at≈:→ 22:31, 15 November 2008 (UTC)

Well tell him off not me then. He's the one removing content. that is vandalism. Tony May (talk) 22:33, 15 November 2008 (UTC)

You have been warned. You should take this to dispute resolution if it keeps going. You jumped in after months of edits. ←Signed:→Mr. E. Sánchez / _{Talk to me!}←at≈:→ 22:38, 15 November 2008 (UTC)
