Hey 5AS, can you protect this page. This ip is set on an agenda of inclusion of banal details.GunGagdinMoan 14:06, 25 May 2015 (UTC)
- Yup they certainly do seem that way especially as I had a word with them earlier, they've acknowledged the warning and then carried on.

Question
Original message: Hello, I'm 5 albert square. I noticed that you made an edit concerning content related to a living (or recently deceased) person on Terry Sue-Patt, but you didn’t support your changes with a citation to a reliable source, so I removed it. Wikipedia has a strict policy concerning how we write about living people, so please help us keep such articles accurate. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Please read the reference. It refers to him as African. 5 albert square (talk) 17:23, 25 May 2015 (UTC)
If this is a shared IP address, and you did not make the edits, consider creating an account for yourself so you can avoid further irrelevant notices.
My response: Hi, I haven't edited any web pages recently, and I rarely do. I don't even know who the person you've referred to is, so I'm slightly concerned if this editing is connected to my IP. Thanks — Preceding unsigned comment added by 5.69.189.67 (talk) 01:12, 1 June 2015 (UTC)
- Hi, no worries, you may have simply been allocated an IP that has previously been assigned to someone else who did edit the page.--5 albert square (talk) 05:36, 2 June 2015 (UTC)
Dead link tags per [6]
- For journal articles one can just remove the urls if they are dead rather than tagging them as long as either a PMID or DOI is present. (the url just means there was once a freely viewable version and there is not any more)
- If an archive url is present such as this one was [7] adding a second dealink tag is not needed, especially as one dead link tag was already there
- If links are dead it is much more useful to add an archive.org link. We really need a bot to do this for all our urls. Will look at seeing if I can convince anyone to build one. Doc James (talk · contribs · email) 03:18, 1 June 2015 (UTC)
- Ok, thanks.--5 albert square (talk) 05:37, 2 June 2015 (UTC)
