Proposed changes to activities
I am the Media Manager for Southern Launch and have some proposed changes to reflect recent achievements by the company.

Reason for the change: The information was outdated and didn't reflect recent achievements.

 * Hello Morrissey230,
 * Do all 5 refs refer to all the new material? If not, please explain which ones are relevant to which text.
 * What is a "launch campaign" as distinct from a launch? Can you suggest an alternative to "campaign"?
 * It would be good to illustrate the article. I can arrange that if you can supply a photo that the copyright owner is willing to make available under the provisions of Creative Commons licence BY 4.0 or BY-SA 4.0 (see https://creativecommons.org/about/cclicenses/). I would prepare a licence for you.
 * I notice you have proposed deleting, on the grounds that it does not contain a reference, "... Peninsula, an important area of coastal conservation, marine sanctuary and native vegetation protection. Pending an environmental review and comment from local residents, the company intends that customers will be able to launch their rockets into orbit over the Great Australian Bight." I have added a "Citation needed" tag for the time being. Could you bring the 2nd sentence up to date?
 * PS: I recommend you create an account (see here) so that you are contactable in future. Cheers, Simon – SCHolar44 🇦🇺 💬 at 03:36, 1 May 2023 (UTC)
 * @SCHolar44 why do ask them to create an account when Morrissey230 is their account? Lightoil (talk) 03:47, 1 May 2023 (UTC)
 * If you click on the red "Morrissey230", Lightoil, you'll see that an account hasn't yet been created (which is why it's red). :-) SCHolar44 (talk) 03:54, 1 May 2023 (UTC)
 * @SCHolar44 that only means that they do not have a user page. They have an account. Lightoil (talk) 03:58, 1 May 2023 (UTC)
 * Hi @SCHolar44
 * The 4 references refer to the new material. The first three are about the Nov/Dec 2022 launch campaigns. The 4th refers to the Koonibba campaign.
 * A launch campaign is when we go out on site to conduct everything required for a launch to take place. As none of the launches took place due to faults they cannot be described as a launch. Campaign is a standard word in the space industry.
 * I think the best way to bring the 2nd sentence up to date is to delete the additional information as I suggested. There is no additional information I can reference to bring it up to date as approvals are going through a government process which has not been published publicly.
 * Thanks

Your edit request could not be reviewed because the request is missing two particulars: In the collapsed section below titled Request edit examples, I have illustrated two: The first shows how the edit request was submitted; the second shows how requests should be submitted in the future.
 * 1) The citation style predominantly used by the Southern Launch article appears to be Citation Style 1. The citation style used in the edit request consists of bare URL's. Any requested edit of yours which may be implemented will need to resemble the current style already in use in the article – in this case, CS1. (See WP:CITEVAR.)
 * 2) Citation ref tags have not been placed within the requested text indicating which portions of the text the source is referencing. (See WP:INTEGRITY.)

INCORRECT The Sun's diameter is 864,337.3 miles, while the Moon's diameter is 2,159 miles. The Sun's temperature is 5,778 Kelvin.

In the example above there are three URL's provided with the claim statements, but these URL's have not been placed using Citation Style 1, which is the style predominantly used by the Southern Launch article. Additionally, ref tags have not been placed within the text at the exact positions where the information they reference resides. Using the correct style and the correct positioning of the ref tags, the WikiFormatted text should resemble the following:

CORRECT The Sun's diameter is 864,337.3 miles, while the Moon's diameter is 2,159 miles. The Sun's temperature is 5,778 Kelvin. Which displays as: The Sun's diameter is 864,337.3 miles,[1] while the Moon's diameter is 2,159 miles.[2] The Sun's temperature is 5,778 Kelvin.[3]

In the example above the references have been formatted according to Citation Style 1, which shows the author, the source's name, date, etc. Also, the ref tags are placed in the exact location where the text which they reference resides. As Wikipedia is a volunteer project, edit requests such yours are generally expected to have this formatting done before the request is submitted for review.

Kindly rewrite your edit request so that it aligns more with the second example shown in the collapsed section above, and feel free to re-submit that edit request at your earliest convenience. If you have any questions about this formatting please don't hesitate to ask myself or another editor. Regards, Spintendo  03:38, 27 June 2023 (UTC)
