adding material edit
WP:RS are essential - please make an effort to get a handle on the need for references... thanks JarrahTree 02:38, 17 February 2021 (UTC)
- Thank you very much JarrahTree. Not sure about how to include references. I'm the Warrant Officer in the unit being referenced. I know the information first hand and just want the information on here about us to be correct and up to date. Any advice you can give me would be greatly appreciated.

- @DYAMBIEL: Wikipedia expects any and all content to be verifiable by properly citing reliable, third-party sources. Unpublished firsthand knowledge of a topic is called original research, which is never accepted here.
- As referenced in the notice below, you should never make direct edits to any topic where you have personal or professional involvement - this is a conflict of interest. Instead you should learn the proper procedure to make edit requests on the article's talk page, for independent review. --Drm310 🍁 (talk) 04:58, 13 August 2022 (UTC)
Managing a conflict of interest edit
Hello, DYAMBIEL. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about on the page Royal Australian Air Force Band, you may have a conflict of interest (COI). Editors with a conflict of interest may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic. See the conflict of interest guideline and FAQ for organizations for more information. We ask that you:
- avoid editing or creating articles about yourself, your family, friends, colleagues, company, organization, clients, or competitors;
- propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (you can use the {{request edit}} template);
- disclose your conflict of interest when discussing affected articles (see Wikipedia:Conflict of interest#How to disclose a COI);
- avoid linking to your organization's website in other articles (see Wikipedia:Spam#External link spamming);
- do your best to comply with Wikipedia's content policies.
In addition, you are required by the Wikimedia Foundation's terms of use to disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution which forms all or part of work for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation. See Wikipedia:Paid-contribution disclosure.
Also, editing for the purpose of advertising, publicising, or promoting anyone or anything is not permitted. Thank you. Greyjoy talk 04:12, 13 August 2022 (UTC)
