Lucerne Capital Management
You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war. Users are expected to collaborate with others, to avoid editing disruptively, and to try to reach a consensus rather than repeatedly undoing other users' edits once it is known that there is a disagreement. Please be particularly aware that Wikipedia's policy on edit warring states: If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page to discuss controversial changes; work towards a version that represents consensus among editors. You can post a request for help at an appropriate noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases it may be appropriate to request temporary page protection. If you engage in an edit war, you may be blocked from editing. Meatsgains (talk) 16:08, 17 May 2018 (UTC)
 * 1) Edit warring is disruptive regardless of how many reverts you have made.
 * 2) Do not edit war even if you believe you are right.

Lucerne Capital Management
I understand your continued attempts to update Lucerne Capital Management's AUM are in good faith however, you will continue to be reverted by myself along with other editors until you provide a reliable source confirming the company's assets under management. Meatsgains (talk) 00:45, 25 May 2018 (UTC)
 * Considering how many times you've been reverted Jonathan Larken, I'd suggest you not edit the article directly and instead request it on the talk page. Praxidicae (talk) 18:36, 8 May 2019 (UTC)

I have now been able to find a RS for the updates made to AUM. - JL


 * No, you need independent reliable sources, not something self-published. Meatsgains (talk) 00:16, 11 July 2019 (UTC)


 * I understand where you are coming from and that independent reliable sources are required for edits of this nature. If you'll allow me to please provide some clarity on this. The article we've cited was an "Investor Insight" printed in the online publication of ValueInvestor (https://valueinvestorinsight.com/Content_Premium/investor-insight-continental-divide-june-2019.aspx) - unfortunately this content was available for subscribers of the publication. We've therefore purchased the rights to distribute the content and have posted in on our own website. I can see the confusion asthe document is housed on a Lucerne Capital domain, however this is a in fact a very reputable 3rd party investment publication. It comes out monthly and is subscription based. Jonathan Larken (talk) 11:51, 11 July 2019 (UTC)


 * Subscription-based sources can technically be used if they include the parameter   as part of the citation. More information on how to cite them is at Template:Cite web and Help:Citation Style 1.
 * Of course, all of this is moot if it's not possible to determine if the source is reliable (established reputation for fact-checking, editorial oversight, and independence from the topic under discussion). --Drm310 🍁 (talk) 15:06, 11 July 2019 (UTC)

 * You could ask a question at WP:RSN - you'd need to explain what content you wanted to support, or whether you were looking to use that source to establish notability. Girth Summit  (blether)  17:18, 11 July 2019 (UTC)
 * Thanks for taking this to RSN. I'll leave that discussion for editors experienced in the area to comment on; please note though that, regardless of the outcome of that discussion, you should not make any further edits to the article yourself. You should request that any edits you think necessary be made on the talk page, providing the relevant source, and (assuming that RSN looks favorably on your source), linking to the RSN discussion.
