Unreferenced BLPs[edit]

Hello Strinesian! Thank you for your contributions. I am a bot alerting you that 3 of the articles that you created are Unreferenced Biographies of Living Persons. Please note that all biographies of living persons must be sourced. If you were to add reliable, secondary sources to these articles, it would greatly help us with the current 939 article backlog. Once the articles are adequately referenced, please remove the {{unreferencedBLP}} tag. Here is the list:

Pete Anglesea - Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL
Jos Baxendell - Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL
Barry Stewart - Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL

Christopher Chope[edit]

Hello, I'm MB190417. I noticed that you made an edit concerning content related to a living (or recently deceased) person on Christopher Chope, but you didn't support your changes with a citation to a reliable source, so I removed it. Wikipedia has a very strict policy concerning how we write about living people, so please help us keep such articles accurate and clear. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you!

Thank you for your recent contributions to Christopher Chope. I've sort of reluctantly taken to manning the article as a major contributor against IP vandalism (while being careful of WP:NOTYOURS).

Your recent contribution was to introduce the neologism 'to chope'.

I wanted to give a fuller explanation of why I reverted your edits, which I didn't give in the edit summary. You added the sentence without reference. In actual fact, the references for the coined neologism are scarce: it hasn't been reported widely in the media, as I explained at the proposed redirect deletion discussion. I have thusfar found no single authoritative article which has commented on the trend, and only one or two authoritative articles (and comments in authoritative articles) which have included tweets of notable people advocating the neologism. The article that commented on the neologism the most actually defined it in terms of "to block bills", rather than "to upskirt".

Because of this, the neologism's notability is up for discussion. If you feel strongly that it should be introduced into the encyclopaedia, I would encourage you to disagree with me on the article's talk page. I wasn't aware that it was included in The Last Leg; if you can find any source suggesting that its inclusion there has had any considerable effect, I would welcome you to suggest it on the talk page. But please do not readd the content onto the article without first gaining a consensus on the talk page. And, needless to say, do not add unreferenced content into the encyclopaedia, especially about living persons, again. Thanks! MB190417 (talk) 21:40, 24 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
