Ways to improve Scandals under the Boris Johnson premiership[edit]

Hello, Francisbishopdown,

Thank you for creating Scandals under the Boris Johnson premiership.

I have tagged the page as having some issues to fix, as a part of our page curation process and note that:

Currently several sections are missing sources. Sources are essential for every Wikipedia page per our policy on verification. Please could you prioritise adding references for every claim made in the text – this means every section should be sourced. This is particularly important as some of the content falls under our policy on biographies of living persons. I see most of the text is built on the introduction of other Wikipedia articles. Please note that attribution is required when copying within Wikipedia. There are three ways to fix this. Firstly, you can fully rephrase/summarise any copied text. Secondly, you can place the {{Copied}} template on the article talk page and fill in the parameters (in the future, you should ideally provide a link to the version of the article you're copying from in your edit summary). Thirdly, you can follow the instructions here to synchronise the lead section of a different page with a section within this one (this process is slightly more complicated to set up than the others).

The tags can be removed by you or another editor once the issues they mention are addressed. If you have questions, leave a comment here and begin it with {{Re|Jr8825}}. Remember to sign your reply with ~~~~. For broader editing help, please visit the Teahouse.

Following on from this, another editor has redirected the page to Boris Johnson as they believe it's an inappropriate fork. If you have any questions, the best places to ask are the Teahouse or the talk page of the editor who made the redirect, Smartse. Jr8825 • Talk 10:05, 20 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hello. To add to this, it would be better if you could try to improve Premiership of Boris Johnson rather than creating a separate article containing only negative information. Further, the Patel and Hancock incidents have not risen to the level of a scandal. Reply here if you have any questions. SmartSE (talk) 13:44, 20 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

List of United Kingdom Members of Parliament by university moved to draftspace[edit]

An article you recently created, List of United Kingdom Members of Parliament by university, is not suitable as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page.

Appealing your block[edit]

Per this exchange last year regarding your continuing to edit under a variety of sockpuppets of indefinitely blocked User:Politialguru: "If you wish to edit again, plead your case and unless and until you are released, you must not edit. Running multiple WP:SOCKPUPPETs is hardly a way to further your cause." Mutt Lunker (talk) 14:25, 10 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

April 2022[edit]

Please do not move a page to a title that is harder to follow, or move it unilaterally against naming conventions or consensus, as you did to Regent Centre Interchange. This includes making page moves while a discussion remains underway. We have some guidelines to help with deciding what title is best for a subject. If you would like to experiment with page titles and moving, please use the test Wikipedia. There was no consensus to move the page. Before moving a page you must discuss your proposals on the talk page - see WP:MOVE Mattdaviesfsic (talk) 06:24, 19 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Adding back insults is vandalism. Please don't repeat this. Fences&Windows 15:27, 29 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

May 2022[edit]

This account has been blocked indefinitely as a sockpuppet of User:Politialguru that was created to violate Wikipedia policy. This is based on strong behavioural evidence. Note that using multiple accounts is allowed, but using them for illegitimate reasons is not, and that all edits made while evading a block or ban may be reverted or deleted. If this account is not a sockpuppet, and you would like to be unblocked, you may appeal this block by first reading the guide to appealing blocks, then adding the text {{unblock|Your reason here ~~~~}} below.

Your draft article, Draft:List of counties of England by population[edit]

Hello, Francisbishopdown. It has been over six months since you last edited the Articles for Creation submission or Draft page you started, "List of counties of England by population".

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. If 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. Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 23:10, 14 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
