Your changes to Point of sail
[edit]Hi, I have just reverted your changes to Point of sail. The principle of Wikipedia is that its content is supported by a reliable source. This is explained under WP:RS. An edit should have a citation that means the reader can check that what Wikipedia says is correct.
I appreciate that this article is not well provided with references before you started work on it, but you still need the content that you add to be based on references. ThoughtIdRetired (talk) 23:25, 20 January 2023 (UTC)
