Help with Vandalism at Mark Selby
Thanks for dealing with the ongoing vandalism at Mark Selby. I requested temporary page protection for the article at Wikipedia:Requests_for_page_protection#Mark_Selby. You might want to add a comment there, it might encourage action. Batternut (talk) 21:55, 3 May 2021 (UTC)

]I changed it because the international athletics authorities recognise British athletes as competing for Great Britain & Northern Ireland not the United Kingdom, albeit that they are the same thing. It seems incongruous to use the UK for marathons when for every other athletics event - including marathons at major championships - Great Britain is used. There doesn't seem a logical reason for making sn exception to this. Drams707 (talk) 12:07, 3 October 2021 (UTC)

"British Triathlon have emailed me"
Even if British Triathlon have emailed you about medallists in parasports events [1], that isn't a
]I appreciate that but we already know that pilots (cycling) and directors (lawn bowls) get medals at the CWG as evidenced by previous Games. It was pretty inconceivable that this wouldn't also apply to paratriathlon guides, especially as they receive medals at the Paralympics. I emailed British Triathlon purely for belt and braces purposes for my own satisfaction as I was concerned at the inconsistent way in which these individuals were being treated on different country pages on Wiki.

Hello, I'm Fieryninja. I noticed that you added or changed content in an article, Tom Sturridge, 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.

Green Party of England and Wales 2023 colour
I have seen from your contributions list that you have been creating and editing pages related to the 2023 United Kingdom local elections. Many thanks for your work on this subject. I just wanted to write you a quick note regarding the colouring of the Green Party of England and Wales. Since the beginning of 2023, the GPEW has changed it official colour. The new colour is only displayed under Green Party of England and Wales (2023) - using the old name without the (2023) appended to it will display the pre-2023 colouring. Please bear this in mind when filling out any election boxes in the future. Again, thank you for your contributions - keep up the good work!

- Thanks but I'm going to abandon all my articles that you've removed. There seems to be abolutely no consistency to the way in which articles are treated. Articles with far less information than mine are left linked to the 2023 UK local government election webpage and indeed those from earlier years and frankly it's totally demoralising. I may as well leave to those who seem to get a free pass to complete the UK local government project that has been going on now for well over a decade. I don't want to see it undermined by my apparently negative involvement. Thanks again. Drams707 (talk) 12:35, 22 April 2023 (UTC)
