::If you want to lift the age of the target audience, go for it. I would, though, appreciate your mentioning it to me first instead of doing a deliberate offside and plastering it all over the Owner’s user page.

:::And so what is your opinion of the issues raised above? I don't think CMurphy meant any offence by raising the issue with Andy, but I also don't think anyone needs to ask anyone's permission to suggest changes to articles. I don't think there is any call for you to get offended whenever someone doesn't ask your permission about altering an article you wrote over 3 years ago. --[[User:DamianJohn|DamianJohn]] 00:07, 22 July 2012 (EDT)

:::: I was not so much offended as surprised. That article, or articles like it ([[King John]], [[Edward I]] , [[Henry VI]], [[Wars of the Roses]] and some Explorers articles were all vetted by "professionals" here (well after the act of course - they were social occasions) and at least passed, given the criteria I quoted. I have criticised edits, but they have been two liners or obvious vandalism or trolls back in the good ol' days but never have I said an article that has obviously had some work put into it is crap, which is basically what he said. Not without getting onto the article's or editor's talkpage first. Common courtesy. Look at my chats with Joachim or JDWPianist's talks with me. Cheers. [[User:AlanE|AlanE]] 01:01, 22 July 2012 (EDT)
