Welcome to Wikipedia
Hi Shara 1234567, and welcome to Wikipedia! I hope you like the place and decide to stick around. I wanted to drop you a note because I had to remove most of your edits to common blossom bat because you weren't using reliable sources. Reliable sources have to be published&mdash;they cannot be personal observations. Wikipedia cannot report original research; it must instead cite what's published elsewhere. Also, any time you add content to Wikipedia, the burden of proof is on you to support your additions with citations to reliable sources. Content that is added without sources can be promptly removed. I'm happy to answer any questions you have. I know it can feel dejecting to have some of your work undone, but try not to take it personally! Best, Enwebb (talk) 00:52, 7 October 2019 (UTC)

Hi Enwebb, I changed the article because the way it was written makes it looks like blossom bats move long distances between roosts, however in Law 1993 he said that Syconycteris does move roosts but normally less than 50m. Therefore I will put it back. The source is the same (Law 1993). I think the most important thing is that the information is correct. I don't see what is wrong with using pers. obsv. as a source either as I am a PhD student studying blossom bats and noticed the same thing. However if you read the paper (Law 1993) you can check that the information is correct if you like.

I am also disappointed that you removed my comments about Banksia being an important food source to Syconycteris in northern NSW, I think you should research things before you delete them, in addition to it being easily observable to anyone who studies Syconycteris in NSW it's a very well known and well publicized fact but I'm supposed to be working on my PhD at the moment and don't have time to find sources, I will later if I have time.
 * The fact of the matter is that Wikipedia is based on what is verifiable, not true. Regardless of whether you are considered an expert in your field or not, everything must be cited with reliable sources. Your personal observations are not allowable. I'm sorry that this is disappointing to you, but you have to work within the rules of Wikipedia in order to make edits. Enwebb (talk) 01:31, 7 October 2019 (UTC)

Ok, I do see your point, it's just annoying because there are/were several mistakes or slight inaccuracies on that page and I was trying to fix them. I will try to fix them another day when I have more time to look up references and do it properly. Thank you for all your work on Wikipedia
 * No worries. I edit a ton about bats on Wikipedia (in fact it's about all that I do), so our paths will probably cross again. If you're interested, take a peak around WP:BATS, a small group of editors on Wikipedia that are involved in improving the coverage of bats. Enwebb (talk) 01:46, 7 October 2019 (UTC)
