Secaucus, New Jersey

Hi. Welcome to Wikipedia, and thanks for working to improve the site with your edit to Secaucus, New Jersey, as we really appreciate your participation. However, the edit had to be reverted, because Wikipedia cannot accept unsourced material or original research. This includes material lacking cited sources, or obtained through personal knowledge or unpublished synthesis of previously published material. Wikipedia requires that the material in its articles be accompanied by reliable, verifiable (usually secondary) sources explicitly cited in the text in the form of an inline citation, which you can learn to make here.

Also, external links should generally not be placed in the article body, except as inline citations.

Lastly, it is not appropriate to place two identical passages detailing the exact same information in two different sections of the same article.

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. :-) Nightscream (talk) 23:44, 11 February 2013 (UTC)

Hi. Please do not add headings for non-existent sections, as you did with this edit to Secaucus, New Jersey. Thank you. Nightscream (talk) 21:14, 12 February 2013 (UTC)

Please cease your disruptive edits. As you have already been informed, material cannot be added to articles without inline citation of reliable sources, and external links do not go in the article body, unless they are formatted as inline citations, as Wikipedia is not a platform to promote other businesses or websites. You also created a section heading without the right-side equal signs, and for some reason placed the template for Manhattan at the end of the passage. Wikilinks require the use of square brackets, not curly ones. If you continue to violate these policies and guidlines, as you did with this edit, you risk being blocked from editing. Please do not make that necessary. Please read these messages, and familiarize yourself with the linked policies. Use the Preview function to check your edits before you save them, and if need assistance with these guidelines, or with anything else pertaining to editing here, just let me know by leaving a message at the bottom of my talk page. Thanks. Nightscream (talk) 00:37, 13 February 2013 (UTC)

This is the last warning you will receive for your disruptive edits. The next time you violate Wikipedia's No Original Research, Verifiability or Reliable Sources policies by adding unsourced material to articles, or making any other type of disruptive edit, as you did with this edit to Secaucus, New Jersey, you will be blocked from editing.

The issue is not that you have nothing of importance to add, it's that there are policies and guidelines to follow, which I linked you to repeatedly above, and which you apparently did not read.

As for help, I told you that I'd help you, yet you made the same disruptive edit afterwards. Allow me to provide you a few tips up front:

To make a heading, you place two equal signs on both sides of the heading's title. This holds for both articles and talk pages. Placing equal signs only on the left side of the title does not create a valid heading, nor does two square brackets and a colon create a wikilink (as you did on my talk page with "[[Category:Secaucus"). To wikilink a term, put two square brackets (not curly brackets) on either side of it.

A lot of what I learned when I started on Wikipedia (how to create headings, how to format things in boldface or italics) was derived from simply looking at what was already in articles to see how other people were doing it. When that doesn't help, using the search field to look at a policy or guideline page will help. (Any page whose title begins with "Wikipedia:" is in what is called the namespace. For example, to learn how to make headings, just put "Wikipedia: Heading" into the search field, just use the shortcut "WP:Heading". To learn how to make wikilinks, search for WP:Wikilink.

The source that you cited does not mention Secaucus. It says that Weingartner is from Woodcliff Lake, New Jersey, and not Secaucus.

I strongly urge you to look through my previous messages, and the policy and guideline pages I linked you to. It may require a bit of reading, but that's essential for learning how to edit here. And if you have a question or problem that is not answered by any of those pages, feel free to ask me. Thanks. Nightscream (talk) 17:19, 13 February 2013 (UTC)
