Hello, I'm Synoman Barris. I noticed that you made a change to an article, Manchester Metrolink, but you didn't provide a source. I’ve removed it for now, but if you’d like to include a citation to a reliable source and re-add it, please do so! If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks.

I am the source who works for the company the article is about. LRV1007 (talk) 18:57, 27 January 2022 (UTC)

You have previously mentioned that you work for the company the article is about. That's both a conflict of interest WP:COI, and original research WP:OR. The former is discouraged, the latter is disallowed. --10mmsocket (talk) 19:17, 21 March 2022 (UTC)

As you can see, following further research, I did not re-upload the information in the last 2 months while awaiting publishing from a official source that may then be cited..... LRV1007 (talk) 19:44, 21 March 2022 (UTC)

There was nothing in the given reference about Manchester Metrolink tram numbers. 10mmsocket (talk) 20:31, 21 March 2022 (UTC)

I found the right link (on page 3) clicked it and used it to update your reference. Take a look and see if that explains more how references work. You did a good initial job. 10mmsocket (talk) 22:44, 21 March 2022 (UTC)

Much appreciated! I will look further into doing it correctly! I think I don't receive the full page on my mobile phone so will try and look into it further on the desktop. LRV1007 (talk) 09:14, 22 March 2022 (UTC)

Forums & Fansites

Take a look at WP:RS and then WP:UCG. Those forums/fansites don't cut it as Wikipedia references. Good on your for at least looking though. Keep it up! Thanks. --10mmsocket (talk) 17:58, 18 April 2022 (UTC)

Still catching up with the whole technology world, It has evaded me for too long! On the "News" section of that site there is usually Photographic evidence uploaded each time a new tram is delivered (On average every third Saturday). I would presume that would be satisfactory, and if so the reference should be updated accordingly? Thanks for the assist! LRV1007 (talk) 18:31, 18 April 2022 (UTC)

deleting cited content

We noticed you're making contributions on an article about which you seem both knowledgeable and passionate. Thanks for helping! A friendly suggestion: approach your addition to the encyclopedia as though it were an important school assignment worthy of your precious time. Gather your sources, scribble a draft, let someone suggest edits, write it all down, tidy it all up, make sure it's sourced (make dam'd sure it's sourced) and the changes you're attempting will likely find a way into the article, given both factual and appropriately sourced.

Thanks again for building a truly unique encyclopedia Saintstephen000 (talk) 02:39, 8 September 2022 (UTC)
