Thanks for contributing to the article Mitchell Construction. However, one of Wikipedia's core policies is that contributions must be verifiable through reliable sources, preferably using inline citations. Please help by adding more sources to the article you edited, and/or by clarifying how the sources already given support the claims (see here for how to do inline referencing). If you need further help, you can look at Help:Menu/Editing Wikipedia, or ask at the Teahouse, or just ask me. Thank you. Dormskirk (talk) 08:46, 16 October 2024 (UTC)

I have now re-inserted Cow Green Reservoir and included a reliable link (Institution of Civil Engineers write up on the project). Waffling Wally (talk) 01:43, 13 April 2025 (UTC)

Please do not add or change content, as you did at RAF Spadeadam, without citing a reliable source. Please review the guidelines at Wikipedia:Citing sources to see how to add references to an article. Thank you. Dormskirk (talk) 12:40, 13 February 2026 (UTC)

Apologies, I had a number of citations to add which I was going to work through once I'd got the text in place. The pop-up that prompts the citation was blocking the text I needed to read, which made it very difficult! I'm new to Wikipedia editing/contributing so still learning! One question you may be able to help with - if I describe a feature or asset (such as the sewage plant at spadeadam), which I can physically see, and is marked on maps, but I cannot find any online reference to it, can I not include it in the article? Waffling Wally (talk) 13:19, 13 February 2026 (UTC)

Thanks for that. Unfortunately, taking your example of a sewage farm, you would need still to add a citation (the guidance is at WP:RS). The fact that it is marked on a map is not in itself enough. Best wishes, Dormskirk (talk) 15:24, 13 February 2026 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Delph Reservoir

The article Delph Reservoir has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Doesn't meet WP:NGEO for artificial structures...tagged with same reason in Jan 2026, but doesn't seem to be improved since.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion based on established criteria.

If the proposed deletion has already been carried out, you may request undeletion of the article at any time.
