National Fibromyalgia Association page

I'm very grateful that you posted an "advert" flag on the article. I believe that the article was hijacked by a commercial organization. There is evidence in the history - 25 Feb 2012 is where the most abrupt change has occurred. I also contacted the organization, verified their trademark and their 501c3 tax filing. Contrary to the claim in the info box, the original National Fibromyalgia Association is alive, in operation. I'm ready to revert to that version, but I'm relatively new to this. Can you help?

A linkbak would be nice, wouldn't it? National Fibromyalgia Association Wikieditor 3833 (talk) 16:14, 15 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I agree it looks like it should be reverted to the25th Feb 2012 version. Theroadislong (talk) 16:15, 15 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

NHSBSA Draft copy of article recently deleted

Hello, I'm trying to update the wiki page for the NHS Business Services Authority. At the moment it is wrong, incorrect, out of date. I realise that all my changes have been deleted and reverted back to the factually incorrect version of the site. Please can I have a copy of the full amends I made yesterday that were deleted? Can you review the amends that I made yesterday? I am unable to identify why these changes were rejected, as they are all factual and do not put the NHSBSA in a positive or negative light but are simply the services offered by this governmental body. I look forward to your response. Many thanks,

You can see the deleted edits in the history of the article, please don't add them back again though. Content needs to be sourced correctly and neutral in tone, you have a clear conflict of interest so it is better to suggest your changes on the articles talk page for others to consider. Theroadislong (talk) 14:17, 18 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Hi again, thanks very much for your help with this I will have to reiview it with your suggestions in mind.KaylaMcCormack (talk) 17:34, 18 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Bristol Article

Thanks Theroadislong

I'm not sure exactly how to go about reviving my edit, but as soon as I've got a moment I'll find out and do as you suggest. All the best Michael W Chance (talk) 21:41, 19 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

DGM

Can you please help me. This is driving me crazy. The article on DGM is riddled with inaccuracies. THis company has only two shareholders and directors (Robert Fripp and me) - it would be reasonable to assume that we know the truth about how our company was founded, the artists it releases, the truth about its name, its logo etc. Virtually everything there is incorrect (and is unsupported by verification), I have started trying to correct them (there are about another twenty to go) and you have removed it because of a lack of external verification. The facts that are there are wrong and are not verified (such as the fact that Robert Fripp founded the company in 1992) and yet when I correct it to the truth (that Robert Fripp and I founded the company) it is removed. How do we get it corrected? Or can it please be removed as it is factually inaccurate and damaging.

We are very happy to supply the correct information.

Your help would be much appreciated.

If we take the sentence that I recently added about the fact that DGM published the diary of The Vicar, publish the book The Vicar Chronicles and release the album, The Vicar songbook, this is easily verified on the DGM website. I am not a wikipedia editor, but the faults in this article are repeatedly brought to my attention. How do I cure it?

Thank you

David Singleton

You need to bring up your concerns on the article talk page not here. Theroadislong (talk) 18:20, 20 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Hi,

I am sorry to keep asking, but I am going round in circles here.

I am still trying to find a way of getting this correct. I just looked at the DGM entry to see that someone had altered it today so that it now read that DGM was founded in 1992 by Robert Fripp, Diane Aldahl and me - citing a site called DueDil. This again is factually incorrect. I have checked DueDil and it does not refer to the founding of the label, it refers to the incorporation of the company Discipline Global Mobile Ltd in 1998 - six years after the label was founded. Diane did not join the label until about 1997, so she could not have founded it in 1992! I don't understand how someone can use a citation for a fact that it doesn't support. The truth is that the DGM label was founded in 1992 by Robert Fripp and David Singleton (as Robert Fripp confirms in The Wire Aug 2014). It was indeed changed in to a corporation in 1998 (as confirmed by the citation) and has two shareholders, Robert Fripp and David Singleton, each owning 50% of the shares (as would be confirmed by companies house). — Preceding unsigned comment added by DavidGRSingleton (talk • contribs) 17:37, 20 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

As long as you cite reliable sources you are free to add the correct content. Theroadislong (talk) 18:18, 20 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Please provide more details

What was it about my edit that you found warranted a removal? I felt I provided a link to address a citation needed. Please advise why you feel this does not meet the guidelines. -AgreiConsulting — Preceding unsigned comment added by Agreiconsulting (talk • contribs) 10:11, 22 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

It was a link to your own website which is considered spamming. Theroadislong (talk) 10:45, 22 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Blount Springs edits

Hi Theroadislong, I received a message from you that one or more of your edits to the page Blount Springs, Alabama have not conformed to Wikipedia's verifiability policy, and may be removed if they have not yet been. I am new at editing on wikipedia but I know all the edits I made were accurate and truthful. Blount Springs (talk) 17:30, 23 February 2015 (UTC)Blount Springs[reply]

Wikipedia requires all edits to be referenced to reliable sources none of your edits so far have been referenced. Please also note that Wikipedia does not use in line external links like the ones you added. Theroadislong (talk) 17:34, 23 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Blount Springs edits

Dear Theroadislong, Blount Springs, Alabama is a historical area. The recolonization of Blount Springs is part of the history of Blount Springs. Adding a link to the Blount Springs website is not a self promotional link, but a link that further defines the history of Blount Springs. Being knowledgable about a subject and offering to share that knowledge to better define the subject would seem logical. Blount Springs (talk) 21:39, 23 February 2015 (UTC)Blount Springs[reply]

I placed the link in the External links section? Wikipedia doesn't use external links in the main body of it's articles. Theroadislong (talk) 21:41, 23 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I am not involved in an Edit war, I am trying to rectify misinformation which is plaguing the page.

http://www.british-history.ac.uk/vch/lancs/vol4/pp148-150

As you will see it states "The village of Golborne is near the centre of the township, on the north side of the brook. A road from Warrington to Wigan passes through it, and is there joined by another from Newton; there are also cross-roads between Ashton and Lowton."

Golborne is a Village. This isn't an edit war this is trying to resolve an error in the page which ignorant people keep reverting back without finding or citing sources. — Preceding unsigned comment added by EditingpagesGolborne (talk • contribs) 22:30, 23 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

You need to discuss this on the articles talk page not here. Theroadislong (talk) 22:32, 23 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Your link says that there is a village in the township of Golbourne. It doesn't say that Golbourne is a village? Theroadislong (talk) 22:34, 23 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

No The township includes the village of Golborne, http://openlylocal.com/wards/4219-Golborne-and-Lowton-West that is the Local ward for the whole area, Golborne is a Village within that area. It does not have any of the amenities a town requires, no town hall, no market and no mayor.

creation-evolution controversy

Could you change the title and URL of the "creation-evolution controversy" article to "creationism-evolution controversy"? I'm not authorized to make such a change; do you know anyone that is? Do you have any objections to the name change? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Scienceteacher3k (talk • contribs) 10:34, 24 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

You would need to gain consensus at the article talk page for such a change. Theroadislong (talk) 10:38, 24 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Playdale Playgrounds

Hello, thank you for checking the details of the page. Why was the section about CAD removed? How can I rectify the notability situation? I am pretty new to this so would appreciate some advice.

Thank you
