Welcome!
Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. The following links will help you begin editing on Wikipedia:
 * The five pillars of Wikipedia
 * Contributing to Wikipedia
 * How to edit a page
 * Editing tutorial
 * Picture tutorial
 * How to write a great article
 * Naming conventions
 * Simplified Manual of Style

Please bear these points in mind while editing Wikipedia:
 * Respect copyrights – do not copy and paste text or images directly from other websites.
 * Maintain a neutral point of view – this is one of Wikipedia's core policies.
 * Take particular care while adding biographical material about a living person to any Wikipedia page and follow Wikipedia's Biography of Living Persons policy. Particularly, controversial and negative statements should be referenced with multiple reliable sources.
 * No edit warring or abuse of multiple accounts.
 * If you are testing, please use the Sandbox to [ do so].
 * Do not add troublesome content to any article, such as: copyrighted text, libel, advertising or promotional messages, and text that is not related to an article's subject; doing so will result in your account or IP being blocked from editing.
 * Do not use talk pages as discussion or forum pages as Wikipedia is not a forum.

The Wikipedia tutorial is a good place to start learning about Wikipedia. If you have any questions, see the help pages, add a question to the village pump or ask me on my talk page. By the way, you can sign your name on Talk and discussion pages using four tildes, like this: &#126;&#126;&#126;&#126; (the software will replace them with your signature and the date). Again, welcome! — Diannaa (talk) 13:37, 13 August 2020 (UTC)

SACOME
Hi Andie. Welcome to Wikipedia. I feel like I have removed a lot of your contributions to South Australian Chamber of Mines and Energy, so should explain. Wikipedia is not an advertising platform. reliable references should come from third-party sources unconnected to the subject. Editors should not edit for/about their employers without declaring if they are paid for it. Copying a press release from SACOME that says it is happy that someone else did something isn't notable for Wikipedia. Using newspaper and magazine sources to describe how SACOME was working in the background to get better outcomes such as a mining exploration code of practice, or providing the framework for disconnected contractors to form a consortium to bid for bigger projects would be helpful additions. The tone needs to be encyclopaedic, not promotional. Cheers. --Scott Davis Talk 23:55, 18 August 2020 (UTC)

Thanks for your help Scott. First time user so a little unsure how to add information. Ive just added back in a little context around the joint purchasing group. Was there nothing in the Accelerated Discovery Initiative that could be left in? It was a huge win for the state for the initiative to be reinstated and SACOME made it happen?Andie72 (talk) 03:07, 19 August 2020 (UTC)Andie72
 * There was nothing in the references or text that said SACOME made it happen. It said the government did it, and SACOME congratulated them. If there's a few newspaper articles about the process of making it happen, then it might be worth putting something in. The page has to be about SACOME, not about the things it said "Well done" about, and not just sourced to SACOME's own press releases. I think I noticed the Code of Practice while I was looking for references, so that might be something to point at that SACOME has done to make it look like more than a cheer squad.
 * If there are official photos that could enhance the article, then to have them hosted on Commons and not deleted, they need to follow commons:Commons:OTRS to make sure the copyright license is acceptable. --Scott Davis Talk 13:33, 21 August 2020 (UTC)
