Just a couple of tips
[edit]Just a couple of tips.
I noticed on The Arts Centre Gold Coast (which I have now renamed as Home of the Arts, Gold Coast, thanks for alerting us to the name change) that you removed a citation to [1] about the earlier renaming. Generally we don't remove citations unless we know they don't support the text that precedes them. Now you might have thought that since the URL in that citation was a deadlink, it was best removed, but actually deadlinks are often recoverable. In this case, I managed to find an archived version of that web page at the Internet Archive so I was able to recover the citation. Generally speaking, deleting things doesn't make you friends on Wikipedia. Everything that's in an article represents someone's time and effort, so deleting it is likely to upset them or others who thought what they had written was ok. It is always more diplomatic to fix/update something (as I did by recovering the archived webpage), reword it, or some other way to solve a problem without outright deleting it.
Being new to Wikipedia, you may not have discovered the watchlist feature. By clicking on the "star" symbol (to the right of View History at the top of the article you are reading/editing) you add that article to your watchlist. This enables you to be alerted to changes to that article until you click again on the "star symbol" (which removes it from your watchlist). Those alerts can be seen by clicking on the "Watchlist" link (top right of screen). You can also set your Preferences (again top right of screen) > Watchlist > "Add pages and files I edit to my watchlist" to allow you to monitor changes to articles in which you have invested time and effort. I mention this because new users often don't realise that others are being alerted to the changes they are making and why they may react quite quickly.
Finally, we don't put external URLs into the body of Wikipedia articles except in citations. So I removed the URL you added for ARM Architecture, but perhaps you might like to add it back as a citation. I see that there is this webpage on their website which talks about the Arts Centre project, so by adding this as a citation, it allows interested people to dig deeper into the project plan than we are likely to cover within the Wikipedia article.
If you need any help, don't hesitate to ask me. Kerry (talk) 10:17, 16 September 2018 (UTC)
