16 ALR article
G'day, regarding your edits to the 16 ALR article, please do not remove sourced content, and replace it with unsourced information like you did with this edit:. All information on Wikipedia should be sourced to reliable sources per the site's policy of verifiability. If you have concerns about the content of the article, please discuss it on the article's talk page. Regards, AustralianRupert (talk) 09:24, 22 May 2019 (UTC)
 * Please stop removing sourced content like you are. I see that you have attempted to add references for some of the information, however, you are overwriting information that is already sourced and are adding references that do not support the information you are including. For instance, you wrote "and the Regiment was redesignated as the 16th Air Defence (AD) Regiment (Light) in 1972[3]." However, the citation 3 you added does not support that information. It was already cited in the previous version of the article, and I do not see how changing the reference to the Army website is an improvement. Once again, I ask you use the article's talk page. If there is information that is not already there, please add it to the talk page of the article, with a reliable source and I will try to help you add it to the article. Currently, though, your additions appear to me to introduce a lot of uncited content at the expense of already sourced content. Continuing to add unsourced content is disruptive. Regards, AustralianRupert (talk) 08:51, 24 May 2019 (UTC)

Username
G'day again, please be advised that your username does not comply with the site's username policy as it implies that it represents a group or organisation. As such, I think it would be best for you to seek to have your username changed to something else that complies with the site's policy (for instance something like "Bobat16airlandregt", or a similar variation based on your choice) would be compliant). You can make this request here: WP:UNC. Regards, AustralianRupert (talk) 09:34, 22 May 2019 (UTC)

Welcome to Wikipedia. I noticed that your username, "16airlandregt", may not meet Wikipedia's username policy because username implies it represents a group or organisation. If you believe that your username does not violate our policy, please leave a note here explaining why. As an alternative, you may ask for a change of username by completing the form at Special:GlobalRenameRequest, or you may simply create a new account for editing. Thank you.
