Elizabeth Woodville
Please do not assume that your edits which have not been challenged are acceptable.
"Purveyors" of Popes—ha ha ha ha ha . . . .

Now there's a whole box of dots over the index.

- I apologise for not signing. Eddaido (talk) 21:12, 20 February 2013 (UTC)
Would you care to explain what you mean by ’vandalism’ and the various levels? This was barely touched on during a recent Wiki workshop and signing in not at all. What’s the point of attending such a workshop if you only get half the message? As it is I take umbrage at being lumbered with vandalism because the instructor fell down on the job. That was the whole point of attending the workshop, getting to learn the proper procedure.
And isn’t editing texts to impose a partisan point of view also vandalism? The Elizabeth Woodville page is full of it as are other history pages. What protection are you guys providing so as to ensure your readers are not gulled by misleading and mendacious statements? None at all by the looks of it. I’ve picked upon some 50 already so you should be grateful that somebody is prepared to amend where necessary and not gripe about the style; your readers deserve better.
I also take the greatest possible objection to recent comments. If your computer can’t deal with the Queen’s English you’d better upgrade it. And what’s wrong with the comment ’recent research’ since it happens to be a fact? For the record I’M the historical researcher that picked up on that information so perhaps you can understand why I feel particularly aggrieved. The whole point was to make it clear to readers that this was something that has only happened recently so what’s the problem? For the record I don’t care for malicious jokes either. A little less of the ha ha ha before I go for the brouhaha.
As it is I never commit anything to the Internet without using Word first so again what’s the problem?
So if you’re not prepared to allow me to correct the afore-mentioned inaccuracies would you have any objection if I were to ask the media to do it for me? How dare you accuse me of vandalism when others are getting away with it scot-free.
If you don’t like the comment beginning ‘recent research’ tough luck. At least I’m prepared to maintain accuracy if some of your contributors are not. Your webpage is only as good as the information contained within is accurate. Would that it were.

- I realise that it can be difficult for a newcomer to get up to speed on the various guidelines that operate within wikipedia. Regardless of whether you have been mistaught, your edits won't stand if you persist in ignoring these basics. I would recommend reading some of the instructions again, including the ones I referred you to in the welcome message at the top of this page. Deb (talk) 20:30, 20 February 2013 (UTC)
- Incidentally, if you check the page history, you will see that most of the earlier comments you objected to did not originate from User:Eyesnore. Deb (talk) 20:43, 20 February 2013 (UTC)
