Lord Lucan[edit]

Thank you for your recent edits to this article. As well-natured as they may have been, Wikipedia insists that articles summarise the contents of reliable sources - books, well-regarded websites, interviews, etc. This is to ensure that our articles are verifiable.

Your edits may well be truthful, but unless they're cited to reliable sources, they cannot stand. I've reverted many of the changes you made, but I've also removed some information that you found objectionable.

If you have specific concerns about the reliability of the sources used to build the Lord Lucan article, please start a new section on the article's talk page, so we can work through the issues there. I have a feeling though that all we'll be able to do is remove contentious information - unless you know of reliable, secondary source material that flatly contradicts books like Ranson and Moore, there isn't much else to be done.

July 2012[edit]

On behalf of all parties involved, I wish to apologize for the (temporal) block that you had to wait out. But please understand that we are trying to ensure that people are not impersonating others. Thank you for your understanding, and as e-mail correspondence has proven your identity, I have lifted the block. If you have further questions, please feel free to ask, either on my user talk page, located here, or at Wikipedia:Help Desk.

Frustration and concern with edits to Richard John Bingham, 7th Earl of Lucan being repeatedly reverted.

As you seem to be connected to the subject, reading our conflict-of-interest policy would help. Floating Boat (the editor formerly known as AndieM) 15:18, 21 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Adoption[edit]

Hi Countess of Lucan. I've removed your "request for adoption" template on your userpage, as you have not editted for two months. Given the number of users starting on the encyclopedia each day and the number who look for adoption, there can often be a backlog when just displaying the request. You are much more likely to find an adopter if you are pro-active about it, perhaps asking an editor or two from the list of adopters if they would consider adopting you? Good luck in finding someone to help out. Worm^TT(talk) 09:25, 19 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
