Your submission at Articles for creation

edit
 

I noticed your submission in Articles for creation, Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/The Staffordshire Regiment Museum. Thanks! It will be reviewed by a volunteer soon.

Before it can be added to Wikipedia, your submission should have references. All articles on Wikipedia should have inline, numbered references after facts, showing the 'reliable source' (a newspaper, book, etc.) where the information can be checked, so that all information is verifiable.

Here's a video tutorial - hit play, then right-click for "full screen".

Here's an example of how to add references:

Chzz is 98 years old.<ref> "The book of Chzz", Aardvark Books, 2009. </ref>

He likes tea.<ref> Smith, John. "[http://foonews.com/Article42 Interview with Chzz]", Foo News, 1 April 2010. Retrieved 2011-05-22. </ref>

== References ==

{{reflist}}

That makes the references automatically display as small numbers[1] which will link to the details in the section titled == References == at the end. You can see that example in action here.

Please add references to your submission, which will be reviewed as soon as possible. See also, Wikipedia:Referencing for beginners. If you need any help, just put {{helpme}} at the end of this page, followed by a question.

If there is no response within seven days, the request may be declined. If this happens, please feel free to continue to work on the article.

More on references

edit

Using wikipedia as a reference to itself doesn't really add anything. For example ...trench system named after Lance Corporal William Harold Coltman [1] doesn't provide a reference that the trench system is named after Coltman it just duplicates the link you have already inserted to the article on Coltman. What you need are reliable independant sources that give information about the museum. NtheP (talk) 20:26, 22 October 2011 (UTC)Reply

It's getting there but there is still too much reference to the museum's own website which isn't exactly independent. It's ok for referencing the facilities but there really needs to be some more sources quoted sbout the museum in general to establish why it's notable. NtheP (talk) 17:38, 23 October 2011 (UTC)Reply

Request reason:

I attempted to edit Wikipedia while my Mac was connected to a VPN. I have now turned off the VPN and will ensure that it remains turned off when I want to submit further edits. This was an accidental error and I wan not aware of the protocol relating to VPN use. I am UK based.WarMagician (talk) 20:50, 9 August 2022 (UTC)Reply

Decline reason:

Once you disable your VPN, you need to wait a full 24 hours for the block to clear. Yamla (talk) 20:53, 9 August 2022 (UTC)Reply


If you want to make any further unblock requests, please read the guide to appealing blocks first, then use the {{unblock}} template again. If you make too many unconvincing or disruptive unblock requests, you may be prevented from editing this page until your block has expired. Do not remove this unblock review while you are blocked.

You requested I investigate your block again. You are still using a proxy. Most likely, the Apple iCloud private relay service. Again, you must disable your proxy and then wait a full 24 hours for the block to clear. --Yamla (talk) 21:09, 12 April 2023 (UTC)Reply
