Information icon Hello. This is a message to let you know that one or more of your recent contributions, such as the edit you made to North of England Lead Mining Museum, did not appear constructive and has been reverted. Please take some time to familiarise yourself with our policies and guidelines. You can find information about these at our welcome page which also provides further information about contributing constructively to this encyclopedia. If you only meant to make test edits, please use the sandbox for that. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you may leave a message on my talk page. Thank you.

Hi, I've just realised that I was not the first person to revert this addition. You should be cautious: repeatedly trying to insert the same content after someone has reverted your edit is called 'edit warring', and it is not permitted. See WP:3RR - your account could be blocked from editing if you continue with this. You addition isn't suitable for several reasons:
  • Wikipedia is not a guide book. Users can find the opening times easily enough on the museum's website. WP:NOTGUIDE
  • The lead of an article summarises the body of the text. Nothing should be in the lead that is not found elsewhere in the article. WP:LEAD
  • Your assertion is unsourced. WP:RS
Please do not continue trying to add this sentence to the lead. Cheers GirthSummit (blether) 13:58, 6 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
