May 2020
Your recent editing history at Laugharne shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war; that means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be, when you have seen that other editors disagree. To resolve the content dispute, please do not revert or change the edits of others when you are reverted. Instead of reverting, please use the talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. The best practice at this stage is to discuss, not edit-war. See the bold, revert, discuss cycle for how this is done. If discussions reach an impasse, you can then post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.
Being involved in an edit war can result in you being blocked from editing—especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring—even if you don't violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.
Please use the talk page -----Snowded TALK 07:35, 29 May 2020 (UTC)
- It was entirely predictable that you would attempt to insert Laugharne into the articles of the two sons of he after which you have named yourself which is why I put them under watch. If you can find proper references then it is relevant there. However a simple birth or death is not enough of itself to establish notability for an article about a town. Please review wikipedia policy on sourcing and also relevance -----Snowded TALK 08:23, 31 May 2020 (UTC)≈
- Indeed so, my edits were to make it plain they both had initimate connections with Laugharne, unlike most of the rest of the notable residents on the current list. Along with Sir John, only Madam Bevan and Dylan Thomas lived in the township as adults and none were born there.The others all left at an early age never to return as residents and George Abbey as far as I can see, has never set foot in the place!
In contrast Sir James was probably born and certainly brought up in the lordship, living at Westmead until 1602. Sir Thomas Perrot inherited the Castle along with the rest of Sir John's estate in the locality (according to tradition, where he already resided at Roche Castle prior to his father's death.) His sole surviving child Penelope later occupied the family property at nearby Trefenty. I look forward to your restoration of my edits and of course I'm happy to consider any reasonable amendments to comply with wikipedia policies if you think there is a conflict.Sirjohnperrot (talk) 11:43, 31 May 2020 (UTC)
- If you want to make a case to remove any of those in the existing list fine. Otherwise I have made what I consider reasonable changes to your edits on both articles and I don't think there is any case for changing the Laugharne so if you want to make changes there you will need to get other editors to agree with you on the talk page. I'd recommend you spend some more time on articles where you don't have a strong view/personal interest to get more familiar with editing practices. It is never easy for a new editor to handle the balance of their enthusiasm with established practice on Wikipedia. -----Snowded TALK 12:36, 31 May 2020 (UTC)
- Imputing a lack of neutrality/excess of zeal on my part is unhelpful and mistaken. My username was chosen years ago and has no relevance.
Our only concern here should be that the Notable Residents section of the Laugharne article is accurate and consistent. For clarity's sake when discussion resumes to the Article's Talk Page (which it should not have left notwithstanding your rather puzzling closure fiat) it may help focus on the relevant issues if you can simply answer my questions below as previously asked and thus far ignored:
1) Why do you consider Sir James Perrot is not a notable resident of Laugharne?
2) Why do you consider Sir Thomas Perrot is not a notable resident of Laugharne?
Sirjohnperrot (talk) 14:22, 31 May 2020 (UTC)
- Really? Years ago? You have not been editing wikipedia for more than a year. Your first seven edits were last year in July and August, two early this year and since then every single edit has being linked to promoting the name of Perrot so I think we are all allowed to assume some relevance. You can resume the talk page converation anytime you want, but without more support from other editors you will have issues. A less ambitous proposal (for example adding "and his sons X&Y" with links might be more acceptable and we can discuss that -----Snowded TALK 14:37, 31 May 2020 (UTC)

Yes 2 years ago - that's what my Talk page says at the top. None of my handful of contributions up to this encounter with you have been about Perrots and your reply yet again fails to address the obvious question asked. Instead it is used as a vehicle for more mendacious absurdities. My mobile phone doesn't seem to recognise the indentation code btw Sirjohnperrot (talk) 15:01, 31 May 2020 (UTC)
- You have made 50 edits, the first two in July 2019 (less than a year ago) were to Gruffydd ap Rhys which were reverted for failing Wikipedia's criteria for verifiabilty. 80% of those 50 edits related to articles where you are promoting the name Perrot which you have assumed as your nom de plume. There is nothing at the top of your talk or user page which says differently. It is hardly a mendacious absurdity to assume you are on a mission here. I've answered your two questions and tried to help out by suggesting something less ambitious that you could put forward on the Laugharne talk page. -----Snowded TALK 15:31, 31 May 2020 (UTC)
The screenshot of the notification panel on my Talk page above, which you claim does not exist, shows my username registration two years ago. It incontrovertibly demonstrates the absurdity of your accusations that I am on here only to promote Perrots. Your characterisation of my post history is equally ridiculous, this current exchange contains the only references to that name. You have repeatedly failed to justify deleting my additions to the notable residents list for Laugharne and are apparently unable to grasp the wikipedia policies on relevance and notability.
I am now transferring this discussion back to the article's Talk page in the hope that an editorial consensus will enable my edit adding Sir James Perrot and Sir Thomas Perrot to be restored, as was the case with Sir John Perrot whose entry you also deleted and failed to restore for no good reason.
Sirjohnperrot (talk) 20:20, 31 May 2020 (UTC)
- And that confirms your first edit was within a year and you haven't contested the 80% of your edits promote Perrots and it is reasonable that links to your choice of name. Otherwise you have been given reasons you just don't like them. I do love, after over a decade of editing being told by someone with just 50 that I don't understand policites on relevance and notability - its quaint :-). You should not transfer the aove material to the talk page of the article so I have deleted it. You are free and should make the case for inclusion of their names and the form of inclusion. Your previous elaboration (way beyond a simple mention) was referted for the reasons given. It is now down to you to see if you can engage other editors. I've suggested one compromise above you might want to consider that. -----Snowded TALK 20:54, 31 May 2020 (UTC)
- More graceless and dishonest nonsense. The Blind Pugh could see that 99% of this exchange is not about Perrots at all but simply the consequence of your transparently irrational grounds for preventing legitimate editing. Deleting relevant material from a Talk page solely to spare your blushes also constitutes vandalism and hopefully will be noticed by those who administrate the project.
Sirjohnperrot (talk) 21:35, 31 May 2020 (UTC)- Feel free to raise my behaviour at ANI if you really think that, but I suspect you might be in for a a suprise if you do. -----Snowded TALK 04:14, 1 June 2020 (UTC)

Hello, I've replied to your message on my talk page. Cheers, Airplaneman (talk) ✈ 20:14, 1 June 2020 (UTC)
- As per my response on my talk page, I've noted your violation of the three revert rule but have decided that only the next infraction should result in a block--not for punitive purposes, but for preventative purposes. Airplaneman (talk) ✈ 20:44, 1 June 2020 (UTC)
Merger
You need to layout the argument for the merger on the talk page - and handle the policy link from the one reject so far. Asking the local officials for their opinion isn't going to cut it unless they point you to reliable sources that would support the idea that the two are defacto the same. These discussions have momentum on wikipedia so you need to accept soon as a pattern of three/four rejections will likely be followed. I've asked a question to clarify how the pollicy is interpreted. Challenging policy never really works .... -----Snowded TALK 10:01, 4 June 2020 (UTC)
- Thanks for the comments they are much appreciated. I think the merger proposal has gained another distinguished supporter in Tony and real momentum as a result. His point about the difference between policy and guidance is well made and should take us over the line - how do we know when that's happened?Sirjohnperrot (talk) 20:59, 4 June 2020 (UTC)

- You're now my favourite Wikipedia editor of all time ;-)Sirjohnperrot (talk) 22:44, 6 June 2020 (UTC)
- Not sure I can live up to that. Wikipedia is a strange beast, I started editing after a friend said it was a great example of a complex adaptive system (my field) which it is and then got addicted. A couple of interactions with Jimmy Wales at various conferences where we were both keynotes cemented the interest. Key thing is patience and paying attention to the protocols for sourcing and behaviour. Right normally wins out. If you want help on any other article while you get settled in let me know. -----Snowded TALK 06:00, 7 June 2020 (UTC)
- Thanks for the offer, the current article is clearly in need of improvement given its low quality rating and I'm hoping to work on some of the sections based on best practice identified in the Wales Project list of B level entries for similar settlements.Sirjohnperrot (talk) 10:20, 7 June 2020 (UTC)

Hello :)
Hello,
I'm a new member just starting out here and have come across your profile as I was leaving a message on Redrose64's account. I didn't appreciate the way she spoke to you and I'd just like you to know that even know I'm new here too, I'm here to help if you need it :)

- I think it's some kind of initiation ceremony ;) Thank you for your kind offer, they say "experience is what we call our mistakes" and it seems I'm very experienced already!

Laugharne
I am sorry that you are upset with what I wrote at Talk:Laugharne.
I warned that the link to your archive.org page appeared to be a breach of the WP:ELNEVER policy, but you have restored the link. ELNEVER is an official policy of Wikipedia, and knowingly breaching it invites sanctions. Verbcatcher (talk) 18:09, 30 June 2020 (UTC)
- Wrong again Sirjohnperrot (talk) 19:46, 30 June 2020 (UTC)
- Sorry, I was mistaken in saying that you had reverted my edit and had reintroduced the link, I apologise. Verbcatcher (talk) 22:31, 30 June 2020 (UTC)

Please do not attack other editors. Comment on content, not on contributors. Personal attacks damage the community and deter users. Please stay cool and keep this in mind while editing. Thank you. Consider this a formal warning - you are no longer a newcomer. You have been advised to tone it down by several experienced editors. If you can't moderate your tone and assume good faith then we notch this up a level and ask the community to review your behaviour. -----Snowded TALK 14:35, 2 July 2020 (UTC)
