April 2009

Welcome to Wikipedia, and thank you for your contributions. One of the core policies of Wikipedia is that articles should always be written from a neutral point of view. A contribution you made to Rochester, New York appears to carry a non-neutral point of view, and your edit may have been changed or reverted to correct the problem. Please remember to observe our core policies. Thank you. --JBC3 (talk) 05:17, 5 April 2009 (UTC)

• Please do not add commentary or your own personal analysis to Wikipedia articles, as you did to Rochester, New York. Doing so violates Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy and breaches the formal tone expected in an encyclopedia. Such edits include: Monroe Community College is in the process of being gutted by the Republican county government.--JBC3 (talk) 06:55, 5 April 2009 (UTC)
• Please do not add content without citing reliable sources, as you did to Rochester, New York. Before making potentially controversial edits, it is recommended that you discuss them first on the article's talk page. If you are familiar with Wikipedia:Citing sources please take this opportunity to add references to the article. Thank you. --JBC3 (talk) 06:55, 5 April 2009 (UTC)

Regarding the edits to Rochester, New York, although the content you added is probably factual, you need to cite your sources (WP:OR). Also, please integrate new content into the existing structure of the article, when possible, rather than adding an update to the end. TheFeds 07:10, 5 April 2009 (UTC)

Your recent edit to Rochester, New York has been reverted. While you are welcome to make constructive edits to the encyclopedia, ignoring Wikipedia policy will not be tolerated.

• try to add reliable citations to factual statements
• avoid adding controversial information without including citations
• use the article talk page to discuss topics relevant to the article, not to rant about Wikipedia policy you disagree with or your views on the world
• avoid unconstructive and point of view edits

Your edit: (Kodak has recently announced further cutbacks in its workforce; however, verifiable information concerning the precise number or percentage is banned from this site. Kodak remains a major employer of Rochesterians and is beneficial to the Rochester area, no matter what the facts are. Nothing concerning Kodak or Rochester ever changes, regardless of what the company itself or other sources may say on the matter. Do not believe your eyes and ears. Please refer to Wikipedia regarding any truth in the matter.) --JBC3 (talk) 02:36, 10 April 2009 (UTC)
