Killarney Provincial Park Observatory

I see you are editing Killarney Provincial Park Observatory. The article needs additional citations to support its content. Per wp:verifiability, please wp:cite a wp:reliable source (RS). See help:referencing for beginners. Avoid using wp:original research. As most anyone can edit, citations and verifiability is the only way a Wikipedia article has any credibility. Thank you Jim1138 (talk) 08:34, 14 October 2018 (UTC)

Also, try wp:RefToolbar/2.0. It's available on the standard Wikipedia editor at the top of the edit box. Click on "> Cite" to start. Jim1138 (talk) 08:37, 14 October 2018 (UTC)

Images / inline links

I believe that images should use the default size. This is 220 pixels which is set with "thumb" or upright. One can click on the image to see a larger version. Adjusting it can cause problems for some. See MOS:IMAGES, specifically MOS:IMGSIZE. Also wp:images has a list of links for info.

Also, avoid inline external links such as the one in this section: Killarney Provincial Park Observatory#The 10" Telescope & Observatory. The Friends of Killarney Park link, looks promotional, and boarders on wp:spam. Please work them in as footnotes. help:referencing for beginners. Also, inevitable wp:linkrot makes it difficult to repair. Cheers Jim1138 (talk) 06:54, 17 October 2018 (UTC)

Promotional sounding

Your page is starting to look overly promotional and sounding like an advert. Please be aware that Wikipedia is not for wp:promotion. Such content needs to be toned down. See wp:tone. Otherwise, the article will probably be tagged {{advert}} {{coi}} and chunks hacked out. See the list at wp:Advertising. Also, given the user name is mentioned in the article, you need to read wp:conflict of interest and follow its recommendations & advice. Thank you Jim1138 (talk) 06:57, 17 October 2018 (UTC)
