Welcome to Wikipedia![edit]
Hi there, welcome to Wikipedia! I hope you like the place and decide to stay.
I noticed your edit at Lulu Antariksa and, whilst I thank you for your enthusiasm to edit, I've had to revert it again, much like the editor above. This isn't necessarily because what you're saying is wrong, but you've referenced Wikipedia as a source in your additions.
Wikipedia articles need to be based on reliable secondary sources - there's more information on what that means here. Wikipedia articles should not cite other Wikipedia articles as a source, not only because Wikipedia is a tertiary source without any formal verification process beyond our external references, but also because they change frequently, so might no longer say what you were referencing in a few weeks!
You should take a look around the Internet to see if you can find a reliable secondary source to back up the claims you've made, and readd them when you find them. If you look in the references section of the Wikipedia article you referenced in your edit, you should be able to find the secondary sources that article uses, and see if they're relevant to the additions you've made.
I hope this is helpful, but if you need any more help, please feel free to leave me a note on my talk page, or equally put {{help me}} on the bottom of your talk page (this one!) and someone will be along to offer a hand :)
All the best! | Naypta✉ opened his mouth at 12:18, 23 April 2020 (UTC)
- Great job getting that citation sorted! I've approved your new edit with the valid citation in there - thanks so much :) | Naypta✉ opened his mouth at 13:07, 23 April 2020 (UTC)
