Perth transport info
You may well find edits checked against a number of wikipedia principles:


 * WP:NOTGUIDE


 * WP:OR


 * WP:RS


 * WP:CITE


 * Just because you know something - that is insufficient - WP:OR


 * If you can verify against a source - that will substantiate the info

Take care, and try to get a handle on the fact that just because you know something, it is insufficient if you are putting up info that cannot be verified. JarrahTree 05:23, 15 January 2023 (UTC)


 * Hi, I'm not exactly sure if this is a bot or a real person, as I am new to all this, but basically I'm just adding better information for public transport in Perth. Everything I add can be verified on the Transperth website (https://www.transperth.wa.gov.au/) and I could use some help with how to cite this though.

 * I am not a bot. You really need to look around wikipedia to clarify things a bit better if that is your level of uncertainty. Look at the links given above.

There is no such thing as better information - look at other articles, reverse engineer. Take the time to read the WP:OR link very carefully. Look at the WP:CITE page, and get a handle on it. Go to existing pages and reverse engineer - go into edit mode and have a look at how the citing process work. can be verified - misunderstanding - if you add something it needs a citation from a reliable source on the spot.

 * Ok thank you. I will read through those articles. I didn't mean "better" as such, but I was fixing outdated information as a result of changes and adding more detail. So am I right in saying that if I can get the timetables which outline the changes I am making and add those as a citation, that is adequate for what is required?
