Happy editing! Tacyarg (talk) 09:38, 9 January 2025 (UTC)

Thanks for welcome, Tacyarg. I started ad hoc editing in 2011, but it didn't last. I've decided now to come back and make a proper go of it. WP has been attacked publicly, and I've been impressed by the efforts of Wikipedians I've come Somewhen (talk) 18:19, 12 January 2025 (UTC)

Please consider carefully whether your edits on the above article are helpful. Please do not change North to n,orth. It does not make sense. Please do not remove commas for no reason. Please do not edit just to change 3 paragraphs into 1 paragraph without explaining why. Please do not say that a cited Roman road is not a Roman road without checking the original source. Facts on WP must reflect the source, no matter what your opinion of the facts may be. Storye book (talk) 21:17, 22 January 2025 (UTC)

Thanks for your comments, Storye book.

I changed the roman road comment because it implied certainty when the cited source was more equivocal ("apparently of Roman origin")

The CR characters render badly for me and don't match the help page suggestion of double CR - I should have replace rather than removed, though.

Good spot with the random comma - I'm finding the editor page flaky in my mobile browser and the edits occasionally jump about and relocate in the text - I normally notice and correct, but that one slipped through. Odd issue, and I haven't worked out the trigger for it yet. I'll take more care!

I appreciate you taking the time to feed back as I settle in. Thanks. Somewhen (talk) 22:35, 22 January 2025 (UTC)

Thank you for your cooperation. British English is subtle, and often loaded. Thus, the word "apparently" used by archaeologists and historians usually represents a modest certainty by very careful writers and speakers. Archaeology and history are always working theories, so those practitioners don't want to commit themselves verbally. So if they dig up a skull with a spear through it, in a known battlefield, they will still say the person "apparently" died due to a spear wound. When those people are circumspect but using that particular language, it's usually safe to take what they say as fact (as far as a discipline made up of working theory may go). So yeah, Roman road until discovered to be otherwise. But if you're not sure if it's a fact or a guess, give a quote and name the author. Storye book (talk) 11:50, 23 January 2025 (UTC)

Hello, I'm Smasongarrison. I noticed that you recently removed content from Felpham Community College without adequately explaining why. In the future, it would be helpful to others if you described your changes to Wikipedia with an accurate edit summary. If this was a mistake, don't worry; the removed content has been restored. If you would like to experiment, please use your sandbox. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. don't remove leads to articles ^SMason_Garrison 05:16, 9 August 2025 (UTC)
