Please do not add or change content, as you did at Chatham Main Line, 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. 10mmsocket (talk) 17:03, 6 November 2024 (UTC)

I did add a reference.

See WP:CIRCULAR. You cannot reference Wikpedia articles from other Wikipedia articles. You need independent sources added into the body of the article alongside the fact that you add. 10mmsocket (talk) 17:19, 6 November 2024 (UTC)

Ah appologies. Oliverfrom1993 (talk) 20:59, 6 November 2024 (UTC)

No worries. Take a look at how others have built references on the source of any article and just follow their lead. Might be worth looking at WP:V and WP:RS if you have the time. 10mmsocket (talk) 21:32, 6 November 2024 (UTC)
