Hi Joskates, pls do not removed sourced content for no reasons and pls provide independent, reliable source to support the content you added/changed for verification such as from the newspaper - see WP:PROVEIT and WP:BURDEN. Pls use the horizontal format of Template:Cite web if the source is from the web. Cassiopeia talk 08:28, 1 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Cassiopeia - I'm a volunteer at Skate Australia, apologies if I have edited incorrectly. My updated information is accurate and I believed that the edits they were quite constructive. Some of the existing information on the page is inaccurate and the strategic plan referenced is many years out of date and no longer exists. Is there something else I can do to update the page correctly? The only source would be the Skate Australia website www.skateaustralia.org.au Thank you! Joskates

Hi Joskates, Good day. As mentioned on my previous message, sources need to be independent and reliable, Skate Asutralia is considered not independent source as the sources is from the subject itself. Secondly, since you work (volunteer) for Skate Australia, then you have a conflict of insterest for such you can WP:Request edit by other editor if you can provide the independent, reliable sources on the article talk page and if any uninvolved interested editor read it, and willing to help then they will add the info and source into the article. Lastly, you need to ping the editor (in this case I) when you send a message to them in any talk page except their talk page so they would receive a notification of your message. I know you wrote to me because your talk page is on my watch list. (Helpme tag is to ask a question and an experienced editor would answer your question). Please remember to sign your posts on talk pages by typing four tildes (~~~~).. Stay safe and best. Cassiopeia talk 08:52, 1 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
