Hello, a discussion concerning your recent edits has started on the University of Cambridge talkpage. Wikipedia does its best to present subject matter with a neutral point of view and it seems some of your recent edits involve advocacy of a certain position regarding Oxbridge intake. It would be great if you could take part in the linked discussion. Thanks Jebus989 12:52, 18 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for your message. I am not advocating anything but trying to insert factual content that is relevant to the encyclopedia. I have made my comments in the discussion page, for you and others to review. Doogley

The Lion King[edit]

Regarding your addition to The Lion King: It might be better integrated into the existing "Controversies" section than as its own section. Trivialist (talk) 23:49, 4 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Okay-I've merged it to the "Controversy" section Doogely (talk) 00:10, 5 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Reverts on the Oxford talk page[edit]

Hi, apparently we're getting a mess with edits to earlier posts. Are you happy to (a) delete your 12 July post and all the subsequent discussion in that section, or (b) restore that post to the state before the anonymous editor re-wrote it? - Pointillist (talk) 15:54, 21 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I don't understand it's just one line. It was more acerbic then than now. The new edit softens it. If it is causing so much confusion I'll just revert to it to the original (lazy, unsubstantiated etc.)Doogely (talk) 21:05, 23 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

August 2013[edit]

Hello, I'm A.amitkumar. I noticed that you recently made an edit to The Hunchback of Notre Dame (1996 film) that seemed to be a test. Your test worked! If you want more practice editing, the sandbox is the best place to do so. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks.  A m i t  웃   19:48, 8 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war. Users are expected to collaborate with others, to avoid editing disruptively, and to try to reach a consensus rather than repeatedly undoing other users' edits once it is known that there is a disagreement.

Please be particularly aware, Wikipedia's policy on edit warring states:

  1. Edit warring is disruptive regardless of how many reverts you have made; that is to say, editors are not automatically "entitled" to three reverts.
  2. Do not edit war even if you believe you are right.

If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page to discuss controversial changes; work towards a version that represents consensus among editors. You can post a request for help at an appropriate noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases it may be appropriate to request temporary page protection. If you engage in an edit war, you may be blocked from editing. Sergecross73 msg me 20:26, 12 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

"Vandalism"[edit]

Your warning on Sjone's talk page is incorrect. Removing unsourced information does not constitute vandalism, and you need to be far more specific than "its in the book" when citing things, if its deemed appropriate for the article at all. You need to discuss this further on the articles talk page. Thanks. Sergecross73 msg me 20:24, 12 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you Sergecross73.

I am now enlightened. I realised a lot of the content on Hunch Back of Notredame was unsourced as well. I have followed your and Sjones lead and have deleted them as well. RegardsDoogely (talk) 21:34, 12 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you for understanding. Sergecross73 msg me 22:52, 12 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Disambiguation link notification for January 13[edit]

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited List of University of Oxford people in public life overseas, you added links pointing to the disambiguation pages All Souls and Balliol (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.
