Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute to Wikipedia, at least one of your recent edits, such as the one you made to List of national museums, did not appear to be constructive and has been reverted or removed. Please use the sandbox for any test edits you would like to make, and read the welcome page to learn more about contributing constructively to this encyclopedia. Thank you. Nuttah ( talk) 16:44, 18 February 2012 (UTC)
Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did at Royal Armouries Museum. Your edits appear to constitute vandalism and have been reverted or removed. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. Thank you. Pam D 10:28, 19 February 2012 (UTC)
Hi. When you recently edited List of museums in West Yorkshire, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Clarence Dock ( check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Welcome to Wikipedia. It might not have been your intention, but your recent edit removed content from U-8047 Replica Submarine. When removing content, please specify a reason in the edit summary and discuss edits that are likely to be controversial on the article's talk page. If this was a mistake, don't worry; the content has been restored, as you can see from the page history.

, but you should read the
guide to appealing blocks first.You are not allowed to edit Wikipedia while the threats stand or the legal action is unresolved. TexasAndroid ( talk) 16:02, 7 March 2012 (UTC)
If you unequivocally withdraw any threat of legal action, you may be unblocked by me or any other admin. But it is unacceptable on the project to attempt to intimidate other users with threats of legal action. - TexasAndroid ( talk) 16:05, 7 March 2012 (UTC)
Dear TexasAndroid, I find it unbielevable that you concider the thret of civil legal action Intimidation, your comments are not writen without predujice and are mearly helping my cace. As I have told you and TransporterMan quite clearly I find the addede refrence ofencive and it is writen in contempt of the British Laws of Subjudicy. I will however retract the threat of Libel action, however, If the ofending contant is not removed I will instruct my solicitor to apply to the court, in the curently active procedings, to make an order for you to remove it at it is clearly in breach of Subjudicy under british law. Uboater ( talk) 16:43, 7 March 2012 (UTC)
It must be so good to feel above the law, once again you are replying not "without predujice", and your comments can be used against you. I'm sure that most judges would not think very highly about them. Well Block me all you want, I dont care. I am the person refaired to in the artical, I was arested, but have not been charged with any offence. The arest was in connection with a company that I worked for some seven years ago and has no connection with the trust, other that the fact that I was on board the boat when aresdted. It is police policy in uk to serch the property where the arest took place. Our Trust collects money to help educate children and is suffering because of the libelus comments in the artical. I havent got the time or patience to study your WP syatem, Simply remove the ofending comments and I will withdraw my legal challange. Uboater ( talk) 17:27, 7 March 2012 (UTC)
Thank you Rklawton|talk for talking some sence. I formally withdraw my thret to bring legal action against Wikipedia. The origional story apeared in The Yorkshire Evening Post on 27/01/2012 http://www.yorkshireeveningpost.co.uk/news/latest-news/top-stories/customs-raid-on-leeds-u-boat-exclusive-1-4185634 All other storys origionated from this. On 28/01/2012 The same newspaper printed a follow up story, confirming that the alegations dated back 7 years and had no connection with the trust, other than the fact that I was on board when arested. Unfortunatly this was only put in print and their is no on line copy to site.
I would be quite happy with the ofending article remaining as long as some ballance is put with it, ie:
Additional media attention was drawn to the boat on January 26th 2012, when Capt. Williams was arrested on board the boat and his personal possessions were searched. This arest was in connection with an alleged £1 million VAT fraud, dating back 7 years, involving false sales of disability equipment. The only connection with U-8047 TRUST, which is just 10 months old, is that Capt. Williams was on board the submarine museum at the time of his arest Uboater ( talk) 22:08, 7 March 2012 (UTC).
Many thanks, glad we have found a civil solution to this matter. Uboater ( talk) 01:01, 8 March 2012 (UTC)
Dear ( talk) Once again this psmD has edeitid this page, removing conent that you and others have aproved. Is is her that caused all the trouble last week and I feel that she is being maliciously and vindictive towards the trust, if she removes anything else their wont be anthing left. Uboater ( talk) 14:51, 9 March 2012 (UTC)
I still cannot get the citations corect on the page, pehaphs TexasAndroid could help?
Please take the trouble to learn (eg by looking at WP:HELP and, if that fails, asking at the WP:Help desk) how to add tags etc in Wikipedia, rather than adding your own "[NO CITE]" formulation. If you make an edit, and use "Preview", and see that it does not have the same effect as in other articles you have seen, then Cancel the edit rather than leaving non-standard comments in an encyclopedia article. Your addition of these tags, after your comments on my talk page could be taken to be WP:POINTish behaviour: "Do not disrupt Wikipedia to illustrate a point", as your previous editing history has not shown any interest in the quality of other articles than U-8047 Replica Submarine.
I have reverted your edits and added the standard tag to indicate a section lacking references in each case. Pam D 15:19, 13 March 2012 (UTC)
Sadly Russ, these mupets don not always follow the truth, they pick and chose who's web sites are ok to use as citations. The Royal Armouries, (my personal bug bare) is a absolute load of tosh written by morons who think that just because they can spell are better the others. It is cited by some photo's, which are out of date and ref's from theit website, which is ok because they are a large museum with the queen as patron. Sadly their head man has recently been suspended on allegations of deception and fraud, but PamD dosent try and add it to their page like she does to mine. Uboater ( talk) 22:34, 10 June 2012 (UTC)
If the file File:Captain Williams.jpeg is your "own work", then (a) why is it attributed on your user page as "© Bruce Adams/Daily Mail", and (b) did you take it with a self-timer or something, as it's remarkably clear and composed for a self-portrait? Pam D 09:17, 11 June 2012 (UTC)
A file that you uploaded or altered, File:Captain Williams.jpeg, has been listed at Wikipedia:Possibly unfree files because its copyright status is unclear or disputed.

You are welcome to add comments to its entry at the discussion if you are interested in it not being deleted. Thank you. Pam D 11:24, 11 June 2012 (UTC)

Hi, I am trying to restore this page for uboater, who has assured me that he will not be using wikpedia again, over a dispute with some of the editors. Please can you help? Submarinor ( talk) 18:08, 16 June 2012 (UTC) (Laurel Howarth 19:03, 16 June 2012 (UTC))
