Avon Fire and Rescue

Hi!

I removed the fleet list as I dont think it is very encyclopedic. A link can be added to show people who want to know this information where they can find it.

Also, I am in the process of trying to unify all the fire and rescue wiki pages; hence title-ing it "Avon Wholetime" etc.

Thanks,

"Hi Can you tell me why you have removed info that i added that is usefull for the Avon fire and rescue page

Regards Lewis"

I presume you left this on my talk page - please sign your comments using four ~. I removed the fleet list because it isn't really encyclopedic. People can find out what appliances are at which station already, from the wiki page - who wants to know their registration numbers or fleet numbers? A link direct the information on Avon's website can be inserted. Thanks Samiddon (talk) 12:20, 28 November 2008 (UTC)

Cite References

Hi! You need to cite references for your changes. Thanks Samiddon (talk) 23:48, 30 November 2008 (UTC)

Hi sometimes the info i will add will not have references as it's info i find out direct from fleet admin or contacts with in the brigade

Then you should source locations where the information has come from. Word of mouth references can't be held as being encyclopedic. If it can't be sourced, then it can't be included. Things like fleet information must be sourceable - and should reflect accurately on the website. Samiddon (talk) 21:19, 24 December 2008 (UTC)
