[edit]

Although Wikipedia is, indeed, meant to be a helpful resource, that does not mean that any user should have to put up with demands, as opposed to requests, for assistance. What kept being added to Nigel Bates was not only unreferenced/badly formatted, but also poorly written. Most of the editing that I do is to 'clean up' the site; however, I believe that responsible users also have a duty to help less experienced users to help themselves rather than do everything for them. How else are they to learn? By guiding the user to the correct policy for citing sources, which a bit of research would have yielded without my intervention, I have led him/her to be in a better position than he/she otherwise would be. This already puts me in a different category to some editors, including administrators, who appear to revert for the hell of it, and could easily change, say, one word to improve an article, but will not. The paragraph in question today necessitated a full copy edit, and my time should not have to be spent on this because the person responsible has not been more careful.

New photo

[edit]

Can we consider finding a new photo for Nigel’s infobox considering he’s returned after 26 years away, and looks much older. Harley2210 (talk) 14:03, 22 February 2025 (UTC)Reply
