@ Nakedtruthpublications: @ Charlesdrakew: @ David J Johnson: Please all calm down.
It looks as if a new editor has arrived to make constructive edits (albeit with a username which sounds as if it represents a company, therefore needs to be changed), but has had a hard time. His/her first edit was unsourced and was automatically tagged as "possible vandalism" by a robot, although it appears to be absolutely correct - see the Village Council website http://www.ashurstwood-vc.gov.uk/. They added that link as an External link in their next edit. In the next two edits they added info about the Neighbourhood plan, with an inline link to the official website where the whole pdf file can be found. This is not spam, but the local democratic planning process. They then made an unsourced edit about local festival, and a note about the council's change of name; provided a link in some existing unsourced BLP content; bolded a couple of terms and added sourced (inline again) content about the village hall. And were reverted with "Rv unsourced and embedded link.". Talk about WP:BITE.
The article as it stands is way out of date, talking about the parish council as at 2007 etc. This new editor didn't understand how to make a reference so was adding inline links to relevant websites, a reasonable thing to do. More experienced editors reverted but didn't offer much by way of guidance. The new editor didn't know about edit-warring etc. He was threatened with being blocked.
How about, instead of reverting all these sensible edits, offering helpful advice to the new editor, and/or fixing the article by turning the inline refs into proper refs, or adding {{ cn}} here and there and perhaps {{ no footnotes}}?
To Nakedtruthpublications: I hope you won't be put off by this treatment of your edits, and will continue to help build the encyclopedia. There's a lot to learn about editing Wikipedia but it's an interesting journey. It's a pity that on your journey you encountered such a hostile response so early. Good luck with your editing. (I need to be elsewhere rather soon to run the 2pm bingo session at the local care home, or I might have stuck around to try to rebuild the article myself right now, but haven't got the time ...)!

Discussion copied from User talk:SovalValtos
Wondering why you are editing the "neighbourhood plan section" I added last week? The Group you are talking about isn't an official entity which isn't recognised as being a reviewer of the plan. Looks like this has been removed by the Local goverment officer and you've reversed it he removal as being an opinion when it could be argued that the group is actually a one person campaign DerekWailes ( talk) 08:42, 12 February 2016 (UTC)
@ Charlesdrakew: @ SovalValtos: @ DerekWailes: @ Carolineleet: (perhaps unnecessarily as you've probably all got this on your watchlists!) I haven't looked in detail at the neighbourhood plan, but in general these documents are a very detailed account of an area, both as it is now and as the local community aspires for the near future, and are a useful asset to a WP article on the place, whether as an External Link or as a source for citations. They become legal planning documents once approved. I've WP:BOLDly reduced the section on the plan to a level perhaps acceptable to all parties in this discussion, removing inappropriate news-type detail about the step by step procedures and reducing quotation from the plan to just its "Vision" statement. See what you all think. Pam D 13:50, 12 February 2016 (UTC)
