US military equipment
Hi, I see that you keep trying to add stuff, despite problems with your edits, eg: you're not providing any sourcing, there are issues with format/spacing, and some of the edits are not really encyclopaedic, but more casual observations. That, along with grammar issues such capitalization and spelling, is the reason some of your edits have been reverted.

How about this instead; if you could post on the article talk page which equipmemt you are looking to add, and make sure that you include sourcing for each item, then an editor will help you add that content (probably me, if I have some free time). Meanwhile, you should take a read through the 'welcome' box at the top of this page, going to each of the links, and you will find a great deal of useful information for new users. Good luck - w o lf  16:37, 19 October 2022 (UTC)


 * ok Froogman (talk) 16:51, 19 October 2022 (UTC)
 * Is my edit to the m1 garand okay? I added a citation and an image. also is this just a list of current use gear ,beacuse I am trying to add all weapons from ww1 ww2 and other wars. Froogman (talk) 16:58, 19 October 2022 (UTC)

No, they are not okay, and again they had to be removed. You can't use Wikipedia as source, per WP:CIRC, and you can't use fandom as source, per WP:SPS. And again, there were problems with formating and grammar. You can't just keep trying at it, over and over again, hoping you'll get it right at some point. It means that another editor has to review and revert your edits, and in the meantime, there is unsuitable content in article space. This is disruptive, and precisely why I requested that you post your edit request to article's talk page instead. That way, your sources can be vetted beforehand. Once you have proper sourcing, then I or another editor, can help you craft your edit so that is suitable for the article, without formating or grammar issues.

You should know that to edit Wikipedia, competency is required, as well as cooperation.

I strongly encourage you to, as a first step, read WP:RS, to learn what we require for reliable sources. You could also read through that article, and some other related ones, to see what sources are in already in place.

Next, find sources that support what you want to add. For example, if a certain firearm was used in a certain war by a certain military, find a source that states that.

Then, go to the article talk page, and start a thread with "assistance required" (or something like that) for the heading. Say what you would like to add, (about "x" firearm, used by "y" military during "z" time period or war.), and post a link to your source, (or if using a book, add the title, author, page numbers and ISBN number) that supports the info about the firearm, the military and the time period/war. Then wait for someone to assist.

But, please stop editing articles until you had some content successfully added via collaboration with a more experienced editor. If you continue to disrupt articles, you will likely be reported and find your access limited, if not blocked completely.

I am watching this page as well. If you have any questions, just ask, and I'll try to help you. - w o lf  20:46, 19 October 2022 (UTC)


 * alright sorry man. ill stop. thanks for the advice! Froogman (talk) 21:30, 19 October 2022 (UTC)
 * also sorry im kinda dumd and a massive erd for stuff like this and sources knda just left the building Froogman (talk) 21:49, 19 October 2022 (UTC)
 * Well, it's your call. Unfortunately there can be somewhat of steep learning curve for new users, with many policies & guidelines to learn. But there is also several avenues of assistance, such as the multiple venues where one can ask for help, and even mentoring is available. But editors still need to put in the time and do the work, and the learning never really ends. I have over 15 years and almost 45,000 edits, and I'm still learning. While Wikipedia editing is not for everybody, there are other sites you can edit, such as Fandom, or the Internet Movie Firearms Database, where the polices are less stringent. Perhaps give one of them a try. Anyway, best of luck to you. - w o lf  22:06, 19 October 2022 (UTC)
