Your edits on Georgian Land Forces

Hello. I have reverted your edits on Georgian Land Forces (and intend to go through the article to see if there is more) since it was sourced only to geo-army.ge which is a user contributed site, and thus not allowed as source/reference (see Wikipedias rules about reliable sources and verifiability). If it had been an official site of the Georgian armed forces you could have used it as source/reference, but it isn't, so you can't. So any further edits using geo-army.ge as source will be reverted as unsourced. Thomas.W ^talk 21:10, 12 July 2014 (UTC)

More about your edits on Georgian Land Forces

Hello. Before you add more badly sourced fancruft to the article take some time to learn what Wikipedia is, and isn't, and how Wikipedia works. First of all Wikipedia is an encyclopaedia, not a fanblog. Which means that we have very strict rules about which sources can be used. So read Wikipedia's rules about reliable sources and verifiability before adding any more to the article. One of the rules is that we don't allow sources that are "user contributed", i.e. where part or all of the material has been contributed by members of the sites. Which means that militaryfactory.com that you have used as your source/reference for your latest batch of edits can't be used. And it's up to you to check material you find on the Internet, before trying to add it here, to see if the web site you found it on is a reliable source by Wikipedia's standards, or not. Another problem is that you try to add everything in the inventory to the article, even the smallest of things. Don't do that, or you'll find that the article has been drastically reduced in size one day, down to the essentials, by me or by someone else. Readers don't want to wade through model designations for hand grenades and things like that to find essential information. So take a good look at articles about the military forces of some of the major countries before adding anything more. And, most important of all, read about what is a reliable source and what isn't, before adding more material to the article. Thank you. Thomas.W ^talk 21:57, 17 July 2014 (UTC)
