Welcome![edit]

Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. Thank you for your contributions. We appreciate encyclopedic contributions, but some of your recent contributions have removed content without a good reason to do so. Content on Wikipedia should not be removed just because you disagree with it or because you think it's wrong, unless the claim is not verifiable. Instead, you should consider expanding the article with noteworthy and verifiable information of your own, citing reliable sources when you do so. If you'd like to experiment with the wiki's syntax, please do so in the sandbox rather than in articles. The following links will help you begin editing on Wikipedia:

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 so.
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!

What did I do wrong?

Stuarthwy87 from OpenStreetMaps (talk) 07:46, 29 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Lets start - WP:USERNAME

Well, I didn't break the policy. It says I can do "xxx from yyy company"

Stuarthwy87 from OpenStreetMaps (talk) 07:54, 29 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

then - WP:COI

then added decommissioned - that is not how wikipedia works - you need WP:RS - please ask for help if any of this doesn't seem to make sense to you - JarrahTree 07:49, 29 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Okay thanks.

Basically you are leaping and running at the crawling stage - you need to get a handle on the fact that your username is not how we understand the best way to handle issues - and just to state something is decomissioned is basically WP:OR - there needs to be some solid proof from somewhere as to claims of what has happened. I am sure you will get the hang of things - you might best change your username, and find some reliable sources and then, the leaping and running might happen...

Yes, I'll do that later. I just looked at renaming it. It says that new users have to create an account.

Hello JarrahTree

/i put a bunch of usernames on my user page. Are they violations?

Stuarthwy87 from OpenStreetMaps (talk) 08:05, 29 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hello JarrahTree, when I wrote "Decommissioned" in List of RR in WA. It is because it's gone. No signage of it since 2010. I don't have any sources though though I did have a conversation with a WA local.

Also, this will be one of my final few edits on this, I will create a new account named "Savannah Way"
