This is me NMLondon checking in!

I look forward to updating this page as time goes on!

As it stands, it is very painful making a ton of edits to then have it rejected. Deep breaths. NMLondon (talk) 22:08, 6 March 2018 (UTC)

Sergio Mantegazza

I am going to have to revert all your edits to Sergio Mantegazza again. You cannot use one Wikipedia article as a reference for another. That should be obvious - please see WP:CIRCULAR. Describing him as "the leisure travel titan took the small business started by his father in 1928 to unimaginable heights" and "Sergio later joined the family business and it began to soar even more as its first-class European tours" is not acceptable. Even if it was cited, the language is not appropriate, see Wikipedia:Neutral point of view. Please try to ease yourself gently into editing Wikipedia - walk before you try to run!

EdwardX - Your comments and tips have been taken on board in regards to the use of language and what not to use to cite. Noted on taking it slowly to start.NMLondon (talk) 09:28, 7 March 2018 (UTC)

Thank you! Edwardx (talk) 09:38, 7 March 2018 (UTC)
