Hi Ted. I see you restored a couple of external links that I removed from Abingdon-on-Thames on the grounds of WP:ELNO. I think the first one (the Archaeological and Historical Society) is borderline ― the society is concerned with the broad history of Abingdon ― but to my mind the second (the soldiers' database) is straightforwardly too narrow in scope. Specifically, I think it fails this requirement: "Similarly, a website on a specific subject [WWI veterans from Abingdon] should usually not be linked from an article about a general subject [the town of Abingdon]." The website in question (no disrespect intended, obviously) concerns a small aspect of the article topic; my understanding of WP:ELNO is that only websites about Abingdon in general, and not particular aspects of it, should be added as External Links. If we were to include links to every reference that included mention of Abingdon it would be unworkable. Dave.Dunford (talk) 12:32, 9 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Dave.Dunford: OK I'm convinced and will restore your edit. TedColes (talk) 14:47, 9 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Please note that when one is appointed to a higher level of the same order one effectively ceases to hold the lower level and we therefore always only categorise the higher level. Thanks. -- Necrothesp (talk) 14:13, 4 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Apologies, my mistake. --TedColes (talk) 14:15, 4 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I really love what you are doing with TransPennine Route Upgrade but with all due respect some of your recent edits are actually ADDING detail. I don't have a problem with it personally because I love detail but ------- well I am sure you can see where I am coming from GRALISTAIR (talk) 18:41, 12 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, I'm coming round to your point of view! --TedColes (talk) 19:17, 12 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I fail to understand how my last edit violates WP:PROMOTION guidelines. Can you explain which exact point does it concern? If you cannot provide any justification behind your revert, I will consider the claim void and bring back my edit. "C4FM" is a trademark, not a widely recognized modulation. This information should be included in the article, if it really has to mention that particular modulation scheme. Arrowsmaster (talk) 10:02, 26 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Arrowsmaster, do you not think that promoting Yaesu Musen Co., Ltd. violates WP:PROMOTION?--TedColes (talk) 16:37, 26 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

No, I don't. How is stating that X is a trademark (or a part of it) a violation? Which exact point of that guideline applies? The information provided by me is unbiased and objective, it's also verifiable with a reference.

I've got another proposal, we could replace C4FM with a generic and recognized term - 4FSK - without even mentioning any brand or manufacturer. Arrowsmaster (talk) 14:05, 27 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Arrowsmaster, it seems to me that omitting the company name and using the generic term would be much better.--TedColes (talk) 14:32, 27 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I'm glad we have a consensus :) Article fixed. Arrowsmaster (talk) 15:46, 27 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Stop reverting the edit. You are correct that there is no evidence to support it. That's the problem. The page literally has no evidence to support it. There are no sources and it is based on pseudoscience. IRMacGuyver (talk) 06:22, 11 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The first source cited looks to me like proper science. Why do you dismiss it as pseudoscience? TedColes (talk) 10:55, 11 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
