Blue Cross edit

Hi there,

I noticed you recently made changes to the Blue Cross page.

Unfortunately, because you removed a lot of information and citations without explanation, your changes have been reverted.

This doesn't mean that you can't make changes, but it does mean that you have to try and follow the community rules.

In simple terms, everything that the article says needs a source (i.e. a citation), so if you add something, you need to add information about where you got it from.

If you remove information, you need to tell people why, so you should include that in your edit summary.

Also, we do for a balanced and neutral point of view, so we can't remove stuff just because we don't like it. For instance, removing the original name for the Blue Cross is unecesary, as its historically accurate, and had a citation.

I hope that helps, but if you want any advice, please just leave me a message on my talk page. Regards OwainDavies (about)(talk) edited at 16:22, 22 September 2012 (UTC)Reply
