Hello, and thank you for your edit at Royal United Services Institute.
Unfortunately, I have had to revert it as what you heard "in person" when attending the AGM is neither verifiable nor a Independent source. Verifiability - the ability for a reader to check the information, at any time in the future, at any time of day, anywhere in the world is one of the keystones of Wikipedia - whilst we also want reliable, independent, sources. When the AGM is reported on in a third party source, the information can be re-included, citing that source, so the information can be verified. - Arjayay (talk) 17:21, 3 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Greetings Bunny, thanks for returning the comment from Stewart. I've got the book now too but I forgot about your edit. I put the gist in the lead and the rest in the Analysis section with the citation. Thanks again Keith-264 (talk) 20:19, 5 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Your addition to Ron Mark has been removed, as it appears to have added copyrighted material to Wikipedia without evidence of permission from the copyright holder.

Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing. -gadfium 18:14, 9 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. The following links will help you begin editing on Wikipedia:

• The five pillars of Wikipedia
• Contributing to Wikipedia
• How to edit a page
• Editing tutorial
• Picture tutorial
• How to write a great article
• Naming conventions
• Simplified Manual of Style

Please bear these points in mind while editing Wikipedia:

• Respect copyrights – do not copy and paste text or images directly from other websites.
• Maintain a neutral point of view – this is one of Wikipedia's core policies.
• Take particular care while adding biographical material about a living person to any Wikipedia page and follow Wikipedia's Biography of Living Persons policy. Particularly, controversial and negative statements should be referenced with multiple reliable sources.
• No edit warring or abuse of multiple accounts.
• If you are testing, please use the Sandbox to .
• Do not add troublesome content to any article, such as: copyrighted text, libel, advertising or promotional messages, and text that is not related to an article's subject; doing so will result in your account or IP being blocked from editing.
• Do not use talk pages as discussion or forum pages as Wikipedia is not a forum.

The Wikipedia tutorial is a good place to start learning about Wikipedia. If you have any questions, see the help pages, add a question to the village pump or ask me on my talk page. By the way, you can sign your name on Talk and discussion pages using four tildes, like this: ~~~~ (the software will replace them with your signature and the date). Again, welcome!

Thanks for contributing to the article Royal Welch Fusiliers. However, one of Wikipedia's core policies is that contributions must be verifiable through reliable sources, preferably using inline citations. Please help by adding more sources to the article you edited, and/or by clarifying how the sources already given support the claims (see here for how to do inline referencing). If you need further help, you can look at Help:Contents/Editing Wikipedia, or ask at the Teahouse, or just ask me. Thank you. Dormskirk (talk) 17:54, 27 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I cited one book (which has now disappeared) and a fact sheet produced by the Royal Welch Museum, which I was provided with today and it was used on the WW2 website I frequent - as a way readers can read it in full. Yes, I didn't specify that was the origin. Should I? The fact sheet is not available on their website. The disbandment date was given as 1958, when in fact it was 1948. Bunnyson2 (talk) 18:15, 27 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hi - Please don't use blogs or forums as sources. I can see the problem: it would be helpful if the Royal Welch Museum put this fact sheet on their website. Dormskirk (talk) 14:07, 31 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I read as you recommended inline citations and amended the text accordingly - as a pointer to locate the fact sheet. Yes, it would be great if the museum did so, my experience is that they move very slowly and only rarely reply to emails (unless you pay up front). Bunnyson2 (talk) 14:15, 31 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, that is my understanding as well. Thanks. Dormskirk (talk) 14:19, 31 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Why was the passage on the link to the USMC removed? I was able to find sources for that and cited them. I've now had a response from the Museum regarding that link. Bunnyson2 (talk) 10:20, 2 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hi - I only removed the passage because it seemed redundant because elements of the article were already cited to the USMC publication. That said, I have restored the material. Please note that I have moved some of the material to the section on amalgamation as I think it sits better there, but I don't have strong views if you want to move it back. Best wishes. Dormskirk (talk) 11:33, 2 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks. If the Museum play ball I will let you know. 92.239.13.123 (talk) 13:18, 2 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
