Welcome to Wikipedia. We appreciate your contributions, but in one of your recent edits, it appears that you have added original research, which is against Wikipedia's policies. Original research refers to material—such as facts, allegations, ideas, and personal experiences—for which no reliable, published sources exist; it also encompasses combining published sources in a way to imply something that none of them explicitly say. Please be prepared to cite a reliable source for all of your contributions. You can have a look at the tutorial on citing sources. Thank you. MrOllie (talk) 16:38, 2 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, IMHO the added part(s) is no "original research"; but "common knowledge" (for experts). The current/old text is (sic) old, apparently dated before the current rules, and has no such links -- can't have as most experts (nowadays) will share my "view". Remember, the text is 15ys old

As I often get questions about is, I invested a bit of time to enhance the text, whiteout removing old parts.Hi, IMHO the added part(s) is no "original research"; but "common knowledge" (for experts).

However, I agree with the rule, in general. My question now is, how can I help to improve, aka remove "old, not cited" text, and make the article better?

I already include the UncleBob link, as a kind of cite -- apparently that does't do?

On Wikipedia, everything must be sourced. You can't make additions based on 'common knowledge'. See WP:NOR and WP:V. You can help by adding text based on citations that meet our sourcing requirements as given in WP:RS. That means books from major publishers, peer-reviewed journals, etc. MrOllie (talk) 13:32, 3 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
