Post by: Seth on May 28, 2015, 06:38:09 PM
With no interesting posts on here I was wondering if anyone on here edits the alty wikipedia page?

I noticed today that it is quite outdated, the last update being Lee sinnott becoming the new manager

Or, rather, it was updated. I've just checked the page again, and the lengthy description I sent of events since Lee's appointment has mysteriously disappeared. Don't know whether someone has deleted it, but it says last edited two hours ago by mattythewhite, which is shortly after I submitted my contribution.. ???.

Yes it was reverted as your edit was too story-like for wikipedia. It was written excellently but when writing a Wikipedia article, try to cite events rather than tell a story

Ah, didn't realise. Thanks for that. I'll have another go over the weekend.

Wikipedia wouldn't be able to run without 'wiki police'

Failed. Kept it brief and did it straight - lost play-off semi to Brackley, beat Guiseley 12 months later, impressive wins against Bristol Rovers, etc safeguarded Vanarama Conference place for 2015-16 season - but it has already been deleted. I give up.

You need to use references. I'll use what you wrote and add refs to it tomorrow :)
