[edit]Hello, I'm Belbury. I noticed that you added or changed content in an article, Oasis Leisure Centre, but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so. You can have a look at referencing for beginners. If you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Facebook cannot be used as a source directly, we'd need press coverage of the Facebook statement.

- Hi Belbury. I run the Save Oasis Campaign. This is a legitimate edit. I am new to Wikipedia though. The Press statement was posted on both our Twitter page, as well as Facebook. How do I reference those?
- I'm speaking to my local newspaper for newspaper coverage this week, so will hopefully have a press article in a few days. Is there anything I can leave on at all without a reference for now? Nmrobinson007 (talk) 17:30, 29 August 2024 (UTC)
- Also, none of my online campaign is mentioned which helped to list the Oasis, and is now fighting for the Hall? Nmrobinson007 (talk) 17:33, 29 August 2024 (UTC)
- Wikipedia doesn't quote press releases directly, you can read the relevant policy at WP:PRSOURCE. Better to wait for the local news coverage.
- I've found a Wiltshire and Gloucestershire Standard article that mentions the expected timeline for a planning application, so have added that paragraph back with that source. If the campaign has had any press coverage in the past, let me know.
- If you want to write about a campaign you're involved with you will need to follow Wikipedia:Conflict of interest policy, which in this case will mean posting to Talk:Oasis Leisure Centre asking for a change to be made, rather than making the change directly. It looks like a few editors are keeping an eye on this article, myself included, so we'll be happy to help bring the article up to date. --Belbury (talk) 17:38, 29 August 2024 (UTC)

- Afraid I'm not seeing any feedback from you at Talk:Oasis Leisure Centre, and your edit history shows that you haven't edited any article talk pages. You might want to try that again. Belbury (talk) 08:00, 30 August 2024 (UTC)
