I'm quite new to Wikipedia formatting, However - can you please clarify specifically what points need sources cited? The reference to air-crewmen killed in the area is derived from paper records at the museum, and is a little difficult to link to.Dranod (talk) 13:17, 13 October 2015 (UTC)

Additional: - I took some time to look closely at what I had done - Clearly I had not understood the prupose of citations - I have attemopted to rectify it to the best of my ability, and correctly reference and cite the facts.Dranod (talk) 13:58, 13 October 2015 (UTC)

@Dranod: Take a look at WP:REFBEGIN as that'll help you, also instead of linking to the article ref, link directly to the reference or copy the reference and say you got the reference from X article in your edit summary, as the current referencing is not sufficient. -- Kethrus |talk to me 14:11, 13 October 2015 (UTC)

@Kethrus: I have since attempted to reference individual sections of pages pertaining to the statement. I have also managed to dig up the ISBN of a book that was referenced, and by some kind of whichcraftery, managed to cite-a-citation from another page that references the same passage. I hope that this will be sufficient as I have resubmitted. As it's 1:20am here - it will be my last submission for a while.Dranod (talk) 14:19, 13 October 2015 (UTC)

@Dranod: I can't see any new edits regarding referencing on that page. I advise you re edit in the morning as editing while sleep deprived is often frustrating. Happy editing! -- Kethrus |talk to me 14:36, 13 October 2015 (UTC)

@Dranod: Also, enabling ProveIt will help you a lot. (HERE). -- Kethrus |talk to me 14:38, 13 October 2015 (UTC)

@Kethrus: Second review was declined, but much more informative - and specified exactly what point required citation. I had been focused on the minor points, and had not considered the relevance of the bigger picture. I'll sit on this for a few days while I can pull out the paper documents to cite. This may mean scanning and uploading some of them somewhere.Dranod (talk) 23:31, 13 October 2015 (UTC)

@Dranod: The references still point to another article. Those reference numbers also can and will change. You need to get them directly from the article. -- Kethrus |talk to me 09:52, 14 October 2015 (UTC)
