Hello, LightningRidge, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay.

Wikipedia articles should refer only to facts and interpretations verified in reliable, reputable print or online sources or in other reliable media. Always provide a reliable source for quotations and for any material that is likely to be challenged, or it may be removed.

Hi Thank you for your message, as you can see i'm new to this. All the data I have been adding is 100% correct. I'm part of the local Historical Society here in Lightning Ridge, every time I add something someone removes it, tonight I spent ages adding details again and when I was making a list of sources to add it was deleted again.I think it is best when Local History center's etc get to add histories etc to Wikipedia to get the information correct.

Please do not add or significantly change content without citing verifiable and reliable sources, as you did with this edit to Lightning Ridge, New South Wales.

Please stop. If you continue to add promotional or advertising material to Wikipedia, as you did at Lightning Ridge, New South Wales, you may be blocked from editing. Your contributions and your username give the appearance that you are here to promote Lightning Ridge rather than to build the encyclopedia. —C.Fred (talk) 22:10, 7 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@C.Fred: Could I gently point you at the thread at the top of this page, where LightningRidge informs us that they are part of the local Historical Society in Lightning Ridge. I don't think the information they've added can correctly be construed as promotional or advertising material, and so I don't think your warning is appropriate nor constructive. This seems to be a case where a new user needs support and guidance, not blunt, unhelpful and erroneous warnings. --Tagishsimon (talk) 23:23, 7 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
