Hi,
Your recent edit on this page resulted in a sentence fragment, which I hope you can easily fix. One of the paragraphs in the Footpaths and Walking sections concludes with, "Along the route can be found information displays of the" Can you complete the sentence? Thanks.

The article Lacock Halt railway station has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:
Poorly written article
While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.
You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the ((proposed deletion/dated))
notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.
Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing ((proposed deletion/dated))
will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. Iacopo Haanrath (talk) 15:59, 27 December 2020 (UTC)
I think it is you who are guilty of attempted vandalism – try contributing material yourself instead of unfairly criticising other people!! Edwin of Northumbria (talk) 23:44, 27 December 2020 (UTC)
I note that you made no attempt to explain why you thought the page was poorly written or to improve it yourself. I was perfectly within my rights to remove your notice as I regarded it as entirely malicious (which I did actually state as my reason for making the edit at the time). I find it rather hypocritical to speak of "disruptive editing" when you had flagged an entire page for deletion. Edwin of Northumbria (talk) 23:49, 27 December 2020 (UTC)
The article may not be perfect in your eyes, but the style reflects of a lot of books that I read on the subject. Even if there are ways it can be improved (as is typically the case with any piece of writing), I certainly do not consider it so bad that the entire page should have been marked for deletion. Moreover, the content is accurate and well-researched, which is more than can be said for the vast majority of Wikipedia pages I encounter. For whatever reason, I believe you are letting your personal preferences cloud your judgement. Edwin of Northumbria (talk) 15:49, 28 December 2020 (UTC)
P.S. If you can explain exactly why you think the article is poorly written (which in my opinion you should have done at the outset), then I may be able to answer your question. As things stand at present you have made no attempt to offer any kind of constructive criticism and are simply wasting my time. Edwin of Northumbria (talk) 16:01, 28 December 2020 (UTC)
Like a 5 year old? That's just ridiculous. This conversation is over. Edwin of Northumbria (talk) 23:09, 28 December 2020 (UTC)
P.S. I have just got someone to read the article – their opinion is the you are way off the mark and deliberately causing trouble. As I said in my edit history note, this is trollism pure and simple. Edwin of Northumbria (talk) 23:34, 28 December 2020 (UTC)
There's also nothing in the article to hint at the structural deficincies of the Beeching survey...
honestly, reading this shoddy excuse for an article is making my blood boil. This is not Thomas the Tank Engine. THIS IS WIKIPEDIA!!!! Iacopo Haanrath (talk) 00:20, 29 December 2020 (UTC)
The person who read the article is actually a university lecturer in English. My mother is dead.
There is a difference between the phrase "diesel multiple unit" and "rail-motor", which I believe is sufficient to indicate they do not refer to the same thing – and the article states that the rail-motors had been previously withdrawn. Anyone wishing to know more can follow the internal links.
I would be very surprised if anyone who has ever seen a railway sleeper would think that the GWR had somehow managed to conjure up ones which were 30 metres in length. Moreover, it is clear that the phrase refers to the platforms rather than the sleepers, otherwise the "with small rudimentary shelters..." wouldn't make sense. One has to credit readers with a basic level of intellence and competency in the English language, unless writing something aimed at 5-year olds!! I see no reason to "dumb down" the article to the extent that it becomes the literary equivalent of a camel (a.k.a. horse designed by a committee), which is an issue with far too many Wikipedia pages.
In due course I will be a note regarding the Beeching survey and further information concerning usage of the line.
Please go and let your blood boil somewhere else – or play with your Thomas the Tank Engine train set, which may help you calm down.
I will not be responding to any more of your comments. Edwin of Northumbria (talk) 00:40, 29 December 2020 (UTC)
P.S. Whatever the general inadequacies of the Beeching surveys, evidence from newspaper reports suggests that in this particular instance the results were a fairly accurate reflection of passenger usage. The survey referred to is mentioned, but not criticized by Maggs – and moreover, was conducted after the (first) Beeching Report was published!! As I see it, the issue is not the validity of the figures, but rather whether the service was ever frequent enough to attract sufficient traffic for it to make a profit (as locals contended).

If you have any questions, you are welcome to ask at the help desk. Once you have made at least 10 edits and had an account for at least four days, you will have the option to create articles yourself without posting a request to Articles for creation.
If you would like to help us improve this process, please consider
.Thanks again, and happy editing!
78.26 (spin me / revolutions) 23:44, 10 October 2022 (UTC)You added useful information to Carmichael numbers (thanks) but you are combining three (or four) distinct ideas (K1, infinitude, counterexamples to converse of Fermat's little theorem, and primality testing [yes, the latter two are closely related but not the same]) into one huge paragraph. Keep it simple, separate different ideas, so readers can easily see every idea. I give this advice as an experienced math writer, not to be mean. Zaslav (talk) 21:34, 16 October 2022 (UTC)

The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/RailReview until a consensus is reached, and anyone, including you, is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.
Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion notice from the top of the article until the discussion has finished.

Welcome to Wikipedia. Please do not remove Articles for deletion notices from articles, or remove other people's comments in Articles for deletion debates, as you did with RailReview. Otherwise, it may be difficult to create consensus. If you oppose the deletion of an article, please comment at the respective page instead. Thank you.Onel5969 TT me 23:04, 18 January 2023 (UTC)
Please do not remove Articles for deletion notices from articles or remove other people's comments in Articles for deletion pages, as you did with RailReview. Doing so won't stop the discussion from taking place. You are, however, welcome to comment about the proposed deletion on the appropriate page. Thank you. Onel5969 TT me 23:08, 18 January 2023 (UTC)
I am happy to comply with this where I believe the person who has marked the page for deletion (in this case user:Onel5969) is not acting maliciously.
(Edwin of Northumbria (talk) 23:08, 18 January 2023 (UTC))
Please stop. If you continue to remove Articles for deletion notices or comments from articles and Articles for deletion pages, as you did at RailReview, you may be blocked from editing. I would stop this. You are going to get blocked if you continue. Onel5969 TT me 23:14, 18 January 2023 (UTC)
You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you remove or change other editors' legitimate talk page comments, as you did at Talk:RailReview. This edit demonstrates you still don't understand that removing others' edits during discussion is regarded as extremely bad behavior. An editor is not to remove AfD tags, cautions about personal attacks, or comments by others. An editor shouldn't normally refactor discussion without calling attention to the change. Removing your own comments (or striking them through) is usually ok. A user is welcome to utilize and edit their own talk page in anyway they desire, but an article and its talk page (under CC BY-SA 3.0 License and the GFDL) belong to the pedia and therefore, the reader. Stop removing material or I will block you. BusterD (talk) 10:21, 19 January 2023 (UTC)
There was no Ill intent or lack of understanding involved. It's simply that I've now been up for nigh on 36 hours and can barely see what I'm doing given that my mobile only has a 2½ X 5½" screen. (Edwin of Northumbria (talk) 11:08, 19 January 2023 (UTC))
Yes, well I was supposed to be going on holiday for 10 days Thanks for your understanding. The other is due I have is that my phone frequently locks up with Wikipedia fir some reason, then the phone does things I didn't vtell it to. It's why I tend to make small incremental changes to articles. (Edwin of Northumbria (talk) 11:40, 19 January 2023 (UTC))
Hi Floquenbeam (talk). Thanks for your measured and thoughtful comments. In answer to your question (if only a rhetorical one), I did what I thought was correct at the time, and wish to emphasize that I'd never removed comments from an article talk page before. Given that I'd been up at that point for well over 30 hours and could barely read my phone screen anymore, I may well have missed a shortcut in the text. However, to the best of my knowledge, I wasn't made aware that any special procedure was involved.
As you say, the situation I found myself in was a very stressful one, and unfortunately not all people seem to have been astute enough to realise this. In part, however, the fault lies with the procedures. If my experience is anything to go by, they have the potential to make a stressful situation infinitely worse, and indeed there is an argument to be made that if tested under UK law they would be found wanting.
If you have the time, please read a commentary I've just added to my user page, as it touches on some of the issues involved.

...was not set off as its own topic, as I believe you intended, making it rather confusing. Might be worth doing so with a title you deem appropriate. I was beaten to the punch! Cheers. Dumuzid (talk) 03:17, 19 January 2023 (UTC)
Yes, thanks Dumuzid, I'd gathered that, but over half the text it's taken me hours to write simply disappeared. Is there any way of retrieving it? (Edwin of Northumbria (talk) 03:20, 19 January 2023 (UTC))
Oh, it's OK thanks Dumuzid, my own backup didn't appear to have worked at first, but now I've recovered the text so can fix the problem. Sorry! (Edwin of Northumbria (talk) 03:25, 19 January 2023 (UTC))
Hello, Edwin of Northumbria. It has been over six months since you last edited the Articles for Creation submission or Draft page you started, "Percy William Pilcher".
In accordance with our policy that Wikipedia is not for the indefinite hosting of material deemed unsuitable for the encyclopedia mainspace, the draft has been deleted. When you plan on working on it further and you wish to retrieve it, you can request its undeletion. An administrator will, in most cases, restore the submission so you can continue to work on it.
Thanks for your submission to Wikipedia, and happy editing. ✗plicit 00:03, 22 June 2023 (UTC)

Hey. In the interests of reducing ref clutter, you really shouldn't be adding unneeded params for refs (publisher if functionally the same as the work, location data, etc.) Adding thousands of bytes of essentially redundant changes isn't particularly helpful.
