My apologies, after more closely reviewing your edit and the edit summary I see that it is not vandalism. I hope you will forgive me, I saw that you were changing the name from Quick Attack Response Vehicle to Quick Attack Vehicle and I assumed it was vandalism. Apologies ~ Philipnelson99 ( talk) 20:23, 1 December 2018 (UTC)
I would also like to remind you that Wikipedia has a no original research policy. I believe the specific contribution stating the model name falls into this category. In the edit description you state that you have visited and found this information yourself. I caution you against doing this in the future. ~ Philipnelson99 ( talk) 20:38, 1 December 2018 (UTC)

Hi Flashplate, an editor left you a reminder above, in December 2018, re: the imperative for sources vs. original research. You do realize that unsourced content may be removed. Thank you, 2601:188:180:B8E0:65F5:930C:B0B2:CD63 ( talk) 01:34, 31 March 2020 (UTC)
Hello, Flashplate. We
welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things
you have written about on Wikipedia, you may have a
conflict of interest (COI). Editors with a conflict of interest may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic. See the
conflict of interest guideline and
FAQ for organizations for more information. We ask that you:
In addition, you are required by the Wikimedia Foundation's terms of use to disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution which forms all or part of work for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation. See Wikipedia:Paid-contribution disclosure.
Also, editing for the purpose of advertising, publicising, or promoting anyone or anything is not permitted. Thank you. 2601:188:180:B8E0:65F5:930C:B0B2:CD63 ( talk) 01:38, 31 March 2020 (UTC)
Good Morning,
If you read the edit history of the page and also view the photos on the page they show verifiable photos of the truck in questions and its naming. The lettering on the truck shows what it is called. When I am able to find sources via the internet I provide them and I have been attempting to go about the best way to provide sources that are in magazines, books, documents etc.
There is not a conflict of interest, just an interested fire buff. I will go through the article and anything that is copied and not allowed as per wikipedia's guidelines will be deleted, made sure to fall inline with the guidelines or be narrated and cited correctly.

As stated above, currently in the process of correcting the violations or deleting said information if it did not/could not fit within the guidelines.

The purpose of the page in question is only to provide information regarding the fire department. It is not being used as blog, only attempting to provide pertinent information. The source that is being used is a web page that has loads of information regarding box alarms, not just for the town in question. I do not understand why that is a bad source if it is being considered as such. If it is ruled to be such I will gladly remove said information. Lastly, that website that I am attempting to use as a source was created loooooong before the Wiki TFD page was created and was also first used as a source long after the TFD page was created. I am not the author of the website in question nor do I have any relation with the author, nor do I even know who created it.
Flashplate ( talk) 02:22, 4 April 2020 (UTC)
Both guideline pages you provided will be reviewed and all information On the page will be reviewed and corrected accordingly. Should information be unable to be corrected it will.be removed. You will see adjustments in the coming days and weeks.

Hi Flashplate! I noticed that you recently marked an edit as minor at
Teaneck Fire Department that may not have been. "Minor edit" has a very specific definition on Wikipedia – it refers only to superficial edits that could never be the subject of a dispute, such as
typo corrections or reverting obvious
vandalism. Any edit that changes the meaning of an article is not a minor edit, even if it only concerns a single word. Please see
Help:Minor edit for more information. Thank you.
