POV on Historic Counties

I have summaried the conclusion of the conversations about disruptive edits and Historic Counties of England. Thanks for you help with this. Should the edits continue, I think we have discussed the issue enough and can move to Dispute Resolution. It is worth noting that the historic_county tag has been removed from place info boxes. Anyhoo. Great working with you! Jonnyspeed20 (talk) 16:05, 21 August 2021 (UTC)

Thanks, Jonnyspeed20. I confess to feeling a little uncertain of what edits I can make without appearing to be provocative. The article Plaistow, Newham states in the lead, "It is in the historic county of Essex, and was originally a ward in the parish of West Ham, hundred of Beacontree. The town forms the majority of the London E13 postcode district." Adhering as far as possible to the original and umpteen times agreed wording, I would seek to change this to, "It was originally a ward in the parish of West Ham, hundred of Beacontree, and part of the historic county of Essex. The town now forms the majority of the London E13 postcode district." Would I be wrong to make such a change? LenF54 (talk) 16:47, 21 August 2021 (UTC)

Be bold, do it. Seems right to me... and better than the current wording. I think so long as the phrase "historic county of Essex" is maintained, it will be good Jonnyspeed20 (talk) Jonnyspeed20 (talk) 17:02, 21 August 2021 (UTC)

Thanks Len, for your work on the Newham page. Appreciate it.

Hi Len! Sorry I missed the message you left on my talk page a while ago. Not been too active on Wikipedia lately! PlatinumClipper96 (talk) 18:11, 29 April 2022 (UTC)

Hi LenF54! I noticed that you recently marked an edit as minor that may not have been. "Minor edit" has a very specific definition on Wikipedia—it refers only to superficial edits that could never be the subject of a dispute, such as typo corrections or reverting obvious vandalism. Any edit that changes the meaning of an article is not a minor edit, even if it only concerns a single word. Please see Help:Minor edit for more information. Thank you. SuperMarioMan (Talk) 21:05, 14 July 2023 (UTC)

Acknowledged. I regarded adding two sentences to a lengthy article as minor, without considering the content. Thanks for your comments. I now see that several of my edits should not have been marked as minor, and I will be more careful. Cheers. LenF54 (talk) 15:28, 15 July 2023 (UTC)

Please stop. If you continue to vandalize Wikipedia, as you did at Nuno Santos (footballer, born 1973), you may be blocked from editing. GiantSnowman 10:30, 29 June 2025 (UTC)

I am surprised you describe it as vandalism. It was a stupid error, confusing the two Nuno's - both of whom I believe were goalkeepers in their playing career. I am sorry but errors do happen. LenF54 (talk) 17:12, 2 July 2025 (UTC)

Malcolm McFee second marriage

Regarding https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Malcolm_McFee, edits were removed back in 2013 about Malcolm McFee's remarriage (to Jacqui) and son (Calum), with potential conflict of interest if Calum wrote the entry. As you said at the time, this second marriage is information worth adding to Malcolm's biography if it can be reliably sourced.

I have found the following, from Malcolm's obituary in The Stage: "He is survived by his wife Jacqui, stepdaughter Leane and son Calum".

I'd appreciate your opinion on whether extra information can be added to Malcolm's page. Gronw Pebr (talk) 09:25, 25 February 2026 (UTC)

@Gronw Pebr I have looked and the same information can be found online at https://www.gazette-news.co.uk/news/5475852.malcolm-mcfee-braintree/. I think the Daily Gazette is sufficiently reliable. Please go ahead and add the extra information to the page. Many thanks. LenF54 (talk) 17:04, 25 February 2026 (UTC)
