Royal Dragoon Guards
Hi - I have restored the fully sourced version. Please note that the histories of the 4th/7th Royal Dragoon Guards and the 5th Royal Inniskilling Dragoon Guards and their predecessor regiments are already covered in the wikipedia articles on those regiments. Any additions to any of these articles should have inline citations with page numbers; also if you are connected with the Royal Dragoon Guards you have a conflict of interest: please read WP:COI. Thank you. Dormskirk (talk) 12:39, 21 July 2020 (UTC)

That’s clear but the current RDG page is factually inaccurate (and the antecedent histories are of a different focus and content) and needs to be updated...as I tried to do. This is all based on the texts referenced. Due to the nature of the organisation, you will struggle to find people with accurate knowledge outside of the Regiment. As such, is it not better for me to declare interest? Nothing here is of a commercial nature due to it being a public institution and as long as it’s properly referenced I see no conflict that would impact on its academic integrity. It’s from a published book...

I note your comments about referencing and I can provide more detailed references RDG1992 (talk) 07:58, 22 July 2020 (UTC)


 * Sorry, but wikipedia does not allow multiple articles on the same topic. If there is there is something inaccurate or inadequate in the articles on any of the Royal Dragoon Guards, 4th/7th Royal Dragoon Guards, 5th Royal Inniskilling Dragoon Guards or their predecessor regiments then, given your conflict of interest, you should propose changes on the relevant article talk page. You should also read our guidelines: the changes you had made previously did not contain internal links or adequately comply in other respects with our manual of style. I would suggest you propose changes in manageable chunks (with inline citations) so other editors can have a chance to consider them. Best wishes. Dormskirk (talk) 08:23, 22 July 2020 (UTC)
