Unsourced material[edit]

Welcome to Wikipedia. Everyone is welcome to contribute to the encyclopedia, but when you add or change content, as you did to the article East London (bus company), please cite a reliable source for your addition. This helps maintain our policy of verifiability. See Wikipedia:Citing sources for how to cite sources, and the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you.

East London (bus company)[edit]

Hello. This message is being sent to inform you that there is currently a discussion involving you at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Edit warring regarding a possible violation of Wikipedia's policy on edit warring. Thank you.

June 2012[edit]

Please do not add or change content without verifying it by citing reliable sources, as you did to East London (bus company)‎. Please review the guidelines at Wikipedia:Citing sources and take this opportunity to add references to the article. Thank you. CourtneyBonnick (talk) 23:45, 6 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Smithbuses, your edits to the article don't make sense to me. One of the sentences you added has no source, which, of course, is contrary to Wikipedia policy, and the other cites a source but doesn't seem to support what you're saying. The best place to discuss these kinds of issues is on the article Talk page. Why don't you go there, open up a topic, and explain what you're trying to do. In the meantime, please don't add the material back into the article. Thanks.

One more thing. The source you're citing does not appear to be a reliable source - I can't tell who created it, frankly. Therefore, you'd have to find a reliable source to add any material to the article.--Bbb23 (talk) 22:04, 7 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Smithbuses and welcome to Wikipedia. Your editing pattern indicates that you may be using multiple accounts or coordinating editing with people outside Wikipedia. Our policy on multiple accounts usually does not allow this. If you operate multiple accounts directly or with the help of another person, please remember to disclose these connections.

I am specifically referring to this edit.--Bbb23 (talk) 22:16, 7 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Disruptive editing[edit]

Smithbuses, multiple editors have asked you to stop adding unsourced information to East London (bus company). Please remember that everything you add to Wikipedia pages must be supported by reliable sources - even if you personally know something to be true, reliable sources are still required. If you continue to add unsourced material, you will be blocked from editing. ItsZippy ^{(talk • contributions)} 18:39, 10 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

August 2012[edit]

Hello, I'm Tommietomato. I noticed that you made a change to an article, East London (bus company)‎, but you didn't provide a reliable source. I’ve removed it for now, but if you’d like to include a citation 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, Tom the Tomato (talk) 20:43, 13 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
