Welcome to Wikipedia. We appreciate your contributions, but in one of your recent edits to Here Comes The Sun (yacht), it appears that you have added original research, which is against Wikipedia's policies. Original research refers to material—such as facts, allegations, ideas, and personal experiences—for which no reliable, published sources exist; it also encompasses combining published sources in a way to imply something that none of them explicitly say. Please be prepared to cite a reliable source for all of your contributions. You can have a look at the tutorial on citing sources. Thank you. -  wolf  13:09, 16 March 2022 (UTC)


 * Hi Wolf - an amateur at this, but need to correct some data about the owner of the boat Here Comes the Sun. It is not owned by that Russian chap, but rather, my boss, Graeme Hart. He need this changed given what is happening to Russian owned yachts around the works currently. Can you help? - thanks,...Pat Nzpato (talk) 18:00, 16 March 2022 (UTC)
 * Now that you've mentioned that, there is a Conflict of Interest policy that you should also be aware of, which means you probably shouldn't be editing articles at the behest of your employer. I'll take a look around, see if I can find a source and make the edit you're requesting, but if a reliable source can't be found to support this change, then it can't be done. It might seem frustrating, but Wikipedia is about verifiability, not truth. Maybe your boss could mention the ownership of the yacht in quick phone interview with a yachting mag? Just kidding, but seriously, I doubt any authorities would seize a yacht, based just on a Wikipedia page. -  wolf  20:55, 16 March 2022 (UTC)


 * Nevermind, I see you found a source and edited the page again. I'll let the edit stand, but don't edit the page further, again due to the conflict of interest. Instead, request any future edits on the article talk page. This applies to any articles you may have a conflict with, so give the policy a read.


 * Also, another imortant policy you need to be aware of is the prohibition against edit warring. Once an edit you've made has been reverted, if you have an issue with that, you need to discuss it on the article talk page. You don't continue to repeatedly make the same edit, just becuase you think you're right. Too often, another editor will want their version because they think they're right and all it does it lead to disruption. So again, use the article talk page, that's what it's there for. -  wolf  21:17, 16 March 2022 (UTC)
 * Thanks Wolf. Appreciate the guidance - never been in here before. There is another incorrect ownership reference on this page - line 116 (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_motor_yachts_by_length). I will follow your suggestion and request that change through the page talk option. Regards...Pat Nzpato (talk) 22:03, 16 March 2022 (UTC)
 * ✅ If you intend edit more articles, (the more the merrier) have a read through the 'welcome' template message I placed at the top of this page, you'll find a lot of useful information for new users. I know Wikipedia can seem intimidating at first (losta' rules, including one that says: "ignore all rules"...!), but mistakes are easily corrected and help can be readily found at the Help Desk if and when you need it. -  wolf  23:50, 16 March 2022 (UTC)
