User talk:Ronres

Hello, I'm Arjayay. I noticed that you made a change to an article, WSIA, but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so! If you need guidance on referencing, please see the referencing for beginners tutorial, or if you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. - Arjayay (talk) 07:57, 24 August 2015 (UTC)

WSIA
Ronres - thanks for your e-mail. - You contact an editor on their talk page by clicking the "New section" tab at the top, entering a subject in the "subject/headline" box, typing your message in the main box and signing it with 4 tildes ( ~ ) to leave your name and a timestamp.

When adding information to any Wikipedia article, you need to add references, to independent, reliable, published sources (which excludes, blogs, social media and other user generated content, whilst subject-generated material, such as web-sites and press releases can only be used in very limited circumstances), so that that information can be verified by readers, either now, or in the future. I suspect the information you want to add to WSIA may be from your personal knowledge, and/or original research, not from reliable, independent, published sources? Unfortunately, if this is the case, I am afraid that means it cannot be added to the article. Please remember that Wikipedia is an international encyclopedia, and aims to cover subjects of interest to such a readership, not the minutiae which would only interest the few people who were involved. The bigger problem is that, as it stands, most if not all, of the current WSIA article should be deleted, as it is completely unsourced, and has been tagged as unsourced since November 2012. - Arjayay (talk) 13:09, 24 August 2015 (UTC)

Changing information for WSIA radio
I want to update the WSIA wikipedia page. I'm the station founder.

 * Ron: yes you got the tildes right - but I'd add or a hyphen a space before them if you want to keep using your name as well (but don't use a space at the beginning of a line).

As explained above, we cannot accept any information from your personal knowledge, we can only accept information which can be found in independent, reliable, published sources, which need to be cited (Please see Help:Referencing for beginners for how to do that) in order that all the information can be verified. Having worked on a University radio station myself, I suspect there are very few published sources, particularly covering the sort of material that you tried to add yesterday, but they are the rules round here. - Arjayay (talk) 16:37, 24 August 2015 (UTC)
 * Being the stations founder, (assuming you are ;-) ), doesn't give you any more right to edit the article than anyone else. If anything, as you have a conflict of interest, and will find it harder to keep a neutral point of view, you have less rights to alter the article. Please read and follow our guidance on conflict of interest here.
