Welcome to Wikipedia. Everyone is welcome to contribute to the encyclopedia, but when you add or change content, as you did to the article Salisbury, please cite a reliable source for your addition. This helps maintain our policy of verifiability. See Citing sources for how to cite sources, and the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you.

Hello, I'm Dormskirk. I noticed that you added or changed content in an article, Southampton UOTC, 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. You can have a look at referencing for beginners. If you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. Dormskirk (talk) 14:45, 1 March 2024 (UTC)


 * Source added (I am also a member of staff at SUOTC) 2A02:C7C:8848:9300:B1AA:F53E:EC18:6D34 (talk) 14:48, 1 March 2024 (UTC)


 * You need to add sources for all the information. Also if you are a member of staff at SUOTC, you have a conflict of interest. See WP:COI. Dormskirk (talk) 14:50, 1 March 2024 (UTC)
 * The source covers the entire history. I’ll add the Army website as well. How is there a conflict of interest? I am only adding factual content 2A02:C7C:8848:9300:B1AA:F53E:EC18:6D34 (talk) 14:51, 1 March 2024 (UTC)
 * Everything on wikipedia should be factual, but it needs to be capable of verification, to ensure it is factual (see WP:V). See below re conflicts of interest. Dormskirk (talk) 14:56, 1 March 2024 (UTC)
 * I have sourced both sections now, so it is verifiable. 2A02:C7C:8848:9300:B1AA:F53E:EC18:6D34 (talk) 14:57, 1 March 2024 (UTC)

Hello, Se01dct. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about on the page Southampton UOTC, you may have a conflict of interest (COI). Editors with a conflict of interest may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic. See the conflict of interest guideline and FAQ for article subjects for more information. We ask that you:


 * avoid editing or creating articles about yourself, your family, friends, colleagues, company, organization, clients, or competitors;
 * propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (you can use the edit COI template);
 * disclose your conflict of interest when discussing affected articles (see );
 * avoid linking to your organization's website in other articles (see );
 * do your best to comply with Wikipedia's content policies.

In addition, you are required by the Wikimedia Foundation's terms of use to disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution which forms all or part of work for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation. See Paid-contribution disclosure.

Also, editing for the purpose of advertising, publicising, or promoting anyone or anything is not permitted. Thank you. Dormskirk (talk) 14:53, 1 March 2024 (UTC)


 * How am I advertising anything? All I have added is factual and referenced. 2A02:C7C:8848:9300:B1AA:F53E:EC18:6D34 (talk) 14:55, 1 March 2024 (UTC)


 * There are four paragraphs with no citations at all. And you are "editing or creating articles about your...organization." Dormskirk (talk) 14:59, 1 March 2024 (UTC)
 * The source verified that entire section. Do you want me to re-reference at the end of each paragraph.
 * Yes, I am editing or creating an article about my organisation, but who do you think edits any of the British Army’s regimental Wikipedia pages? It is always done by members of the regiments 2A02:C7C:8848:9300:B1AA:F53E:EC18:6D34 (talk) 15:02, 1 March 2024 (UTC)
 * Yes, you do need a reference at each section. But first please read WP:CITE and WP:RS. Sources need to be "reliable, independent, published sources". Dormskirk (talk) 15:09, 1 March 2024 (UTC)
 * The sources are literally taken from other Wikipedia articles…
 * And each section (not paragraph) is referenced already! 2A02:C7C:8848:9300:B1AA:F53E:EC18:6D34 (talk) 15:11, 1 March 2024 (UTC)
 * Please read WP:CIRCULAR: wikipedia cannot be used as a source. Dormskirk (talk) 15:14, 1 March 2024 (UTC)
 * I’m not using Wikipedia as a source; have you even looked at the source? What I said was that the source used is already used as a source in other Wikipedia articles, so if it’s good enough for them, then why not for this articles? Se01dct (talk) 15:17, 1 March 2024 (UTC)
 * Yes, I have looked at the source and I have now added citations to each paragraph for you. Dormskirk (talk) 15:21, 1 March 2024 (UTC)
 * Thank you. Is there anything else I need to do? Se01dct (talk) 15:22, 1 March 2024 (UTC)
 * No, that's better now. Thank you. Dormskirk (talk) 15:28, 1 March 2024 (UTC)
 * Great. Thanks for your help Se01dct (talk) 15:29, 1 March 2024 (UTC)
