Hello, I'm Dl2000. I wanted to let you know that one or more of your recent contributions to Pennant Hills Golf Club have been undone because they appeared to be promotional. Advertising and using Wikipedia as a "soapbox" are against Wikipedia policy and not permitted; Wikipedia articles should be written objectively, using independent sources, and from a neutral perspective. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about Wikipedia. Thank you. Dl2000 (talk) 20:08, 11 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Please do not add or change content, as you did at Pennant Hills Golf Club, without citing a reliable source. Please review the guidelines at Wikipedia:Citing sources and take this opportunity to add references to the article. Thank you. Dl2000 (talk) 20:15, 12 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for your comments. The issue I am struggling with is that much of the support information which I need to cite is contained in archived material within the golf club such as Minutes of Board Meetings, previously published newspaper articles, books which may not be now which have been copied and again stored in archives. Where these extracts were previously found by internet Search, not all appear to now be available. IF, and this is my question, IF the documented relevant archives which contain the information, were now placed on , say the Club's History website, which already contains many other articles on the club's history, which is accessible to anyone and a link could be provided in the references, would this be deemed as "reliable source " . I fully understand that the wikipedia is not intended as a promotional site, but when I look at other Golf Websites, I have tried to model the format on similar lines. As you point out, while I have the original documents, or copies obtained from newspapers, magazines, or sometimes internet, they fail your 'reliable source'; test. .I would appreciate your advice on this.
