About your edit to Queen's Own Buffs, The Royal Kent Regiment
Hey, Lars! I just wanted to let you know that I reverted your edit to this page. I did this for a few reasons: first, the unit that's the subject of the article wasn't formed until 1961, so this isn't the unit that your father joined. Furthermore, what you added looked like what we call original research. On Wikipedia, we try to have all the facts in our articles backed by reliable sources; this is our policy on verifiability. Things that haven't appeared in a reliable source can't be used on Wikipedia, even if we're sure they're true. This seems counter-intuitive, but it actually makes sense when you think about it. After all, we have no way of knowing who really posted what on Wikipedia; we can't take anyone's word for it, so we can only trust material that's backed by sources. Regardless, though, thanks for trying to improve Wikipedia! If you have any questions about this or other things, I'd be happy to try to answer them on my talk page. You're also welcome to check out the Teahouse, which is a place for new users to get answers to their questions in a friendly, relaxed atmosphere. Happy editing!
