The Hudson Reporter[edit]
Hi. Welcome to Wikipedia, and thanks for working to improve the site with your edit to The Hudson Reporter, as we really appreciate your participation. However, portions of the edit had to be reverted, because Wikipedia cannot accept uncited material or original research. This includes material lacking cited sources, material obtained through personal knowledge, or which constitutes the an analysis or interpretation by the editor that is not found in cited sources. Wikipedia requires that the material in its articles be accompanied by reliable, verifiable (usually secondary) sources explicitly cited in the article text in the form of an inline citation, which you can learn to make here. If you ever have any other questions about editing, or need help regarding the site's policies, just let me know by leaving a message for me in a new section at the bottom of my talk page. Thanks.

- Please stop adding unsupported material to the Hudson Reporter article, as you did with this edit. The source you cited, the June 12, 2016 article announcing the paper's most recent move, is already cited at end of that paragraph, and is the very first citation in the article. You would know this if you clicked on it, or read the References at the bottom of the article, so placing a repeat of it earlier in the paragraph is redundant, and a violation of the guideline pertaining to repetition of citations. More importantly, that news article does not mention any location across the street from the previous bank building location, so cannot be cited to support that claim. If you want to restore that material, you'll have to include a source that does so. Thank you. Nightscream (talk) 16:01, 26 August 2016 (UTC)
- Hi. I re-read the Reporter article that I used as the source for the material, and it appears that I missed or misread that bit, or mixed it up in my mind when transcribing. I don't know how that happened, since I read it over and over when editing the article following the newspaper's most recent move, and then again when you added that information both times, but I must've had a brain fart or something. I apologize for my error. I've restored that material in the WP article. Thanks for pointing it out again! :-) Nightscream (talk) 19:04, 1 September 2016 (UTC)
- Oh, and by the way, when you start a new conversation at the bottom of a talk page, always remember to place it under a new heading, in lieu of using the "Subject:" format you used in your last message. Thanks. Nightscream (talk) 00:50, 2 September 2016 (UTC)
