[edit] what?

"16:53, 24 April 2007 Beorhtric (Talk | contribs) (5,351 bytes) (I don't agree it is unfortunate that the skateboarders will have to go elsewhere)" So your disagreement with an element of society warrants any reference to and for them removed? Please remember people come to Wikipedia for information, not your agenda or short sighted opinion. In the future perhaps you should stick to adding that which you know, and not arbitrarily deleting references to things you dislike.

I was quite correct to remove it. Personal opinions have no place in Wikipedia articles. I did not express an opinion, I removed one. If you want to express your personal opinions on the internet, the appropriate place to do so is a web forum, not a wikipedia article. Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, not a blog.

[edit] Re: Inexplicable deletion of information

Could you please explain your deletion of essential information from Cardington, Bedfordshire, as you made no attempt to do so at the time. I live within a few miles of Cardington, and Shortstown, and I consider the information I added essential to clear up issues that confuse even some of us locals. I note that you live in Gloucestershire, so it is quite unlikely that you have expertise on village san parishes in Bedfordshire. Thank you. Beorhtric 17:00, 19 April 2007 (UTC)

This edit was to correct the title case of the section and my error was to also revert content that you added. I have corrected this now, thank you for the heads up. I used to live in Bedford and did so for fifteen years, so I do know about the areas in question! Remember to assume good faith on the part of other editors. All good contributors will respond to polite enquiries in a like manner! Regards, (aeropagitica) 17:05, 19 April 2007 (UTC)

I consider your inferences that I was impolite and did not assume good faith to be unwarranted, and i the light of this treatment, I may stop contributing to wikipedia. Beorhtric 17:17, 19 April 2007 (UTC)

I don't think that there is any need to over-react or to leave the project. Words on a screen can be taken in any number of ways, unlike a spoken or face-to-face conversation. I didn't mean to imply abuse on either of our parts. It would be a shame if you stopped contributing with local knowledge as that can substantially improve an article.

[edit] Pubs

Hi, I've noticed you've done quite a bit of work on categorising pubs...I'm thinking of doing some work on this too, possibly heading towards doing a full-blown Wikiproject - would you be interested in collaborating? Paulbrock 18:56, 29 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Invite

Hi, just a quick note to ask if you would be interested in joining WikiProject Bedfordshire? I see you've recently been making some valuable contributions to Bedfordshire articles and your input would be most welcome. --Starrycupz 20:22, 29 April 2007 (UTC)

Hi. I noticed you voted concerning

• Category:Cities, towns and villages in the Palestinian territories
• Category:Buildings and structures in the Palestinian territories

But it seems you overlooked voting on

• Category:Geography of the Palestinian territories

Here is the link to the category discussion for those 3 categories:
