Welcome to Wikipedia. We appreciate your contributions, but in one of your recent edits to Longest recorded sniper kills, it appears that you have added original research, which is against Wikipedia's policies. Original research refers to material—such as facts, allegations, ideas, and personal experiences—for which no reliable, published sources exist; it also encompasses combining published sources in a way to imply something that none of them explicitly say. Please be prepared to cite a reliable source for all of your contributions. You can have a look at the tutorial on citing sources. Thank you. - w o lf  17:36, 15 November 2022 (UTC)

Added note
The issue with your sourcing wasn't so much that you didn't have one, but the one you cited has been deprecated as unreliable. If you can provide a more reliable source, you should be able to re-add that entry to the article. One other point I'd like to add is that you noted your source in your edit summary, instead of attaching it the content in the article. This is next to useless, as people typically don't go hunting through the article history to find sourcing (and they shouldn't have to). Your edit basically makes the entry appear unsupported, which means anyone can remove it at any time. Going forward, please attach all sourcing to the content it's supporting. That way it will be listed in the "References" section at the bottom of the page. In this case, the table you were editing has a specific "References" column at the far right end, (those refs still appear in the "Refs" section as well), thank you. If you need help with the refs, see WP:CITE, with the table, see H:TABLE, and in general, see the Help Desk. Hope you find this useful. - w o lf  17:58, 15 November 2022 (UTC)

Hello, Spratster. I noticed that your recent edit to University rowing in the United Kingdom added a link to an image on an external website or on your computer, or to a file name that does not exist on Wikipedia's server. For technical and policy reasons it is not possible to use images from external sources on Wikipedia. Most images you find on the internet are copyrighted and cannot be used on Wikipedia, or their use is subject to certain restrictions. If the image meets Wikipedia's image use policy, consider uploading it to Wikipedia yourself or request that someone else upload it. See the image tutorial to learn about wiki syntax used for images. Thank you.  -  Sumanuil  '''. ''' (talk to me) 07:05, 11 January 2023 (UTC)
