User talk:Buckhout1998

Irvington, New York
Welcome to Wikipedia. Thanks for your contributions to this article. I assume from your user name that you live on Buckhout Street in Irvington.

When you add information to a Wikipedia article -- such as that about the foremen's row housing on Buckhout Street -- it is always best to support that information with a citation from a reliable source. Without such a source, the information can be deleted by anyone. It's my assumption that the information you added is most probably factually correct, but another editor may not be as familiar with the subject as I am and decide to remove it. To help avoid that, do you have a citation you can add? If you do, and you need help formatting it, just let me know.

Best,

 * P.S. Is the housing you're referring to on the south side of Buckhout near to Main Street? Beyond My Ken (talk) 03:11, 25 January 2019 (UTC)
 * Just so you understand why I'm so interested in the article, I wrote about 74% of it.  Before I started editing it, it looked like this.  I'm always glad to see new people contributing to it, though. Beyond My Ken (talk) 03:16, 25 January 2019 (UTC)

Hi there! Thank your for your concern; informational integrity is definitely crucially important when discussing a historical town like Irvington.

My addition here is one that is admittedly tough to cite. I am rather confident that it is true as it has been discussed as fact by those who live in the row houses as well as by others in the village. That said, I absolutely understand if you would prefer to remove the tidbit. I am unsurprisingly unable to find mention of this online and have no means to physically check in with town hall's records. I will continue to trawl the internet in hopes of finding a source, but again, you can remove this - at least for the time being. I understand the ownership you must feel over the page as it is quite robust! To clarify, these are the row houses (10 N. Buckhout St. through 16A) on the opposite side of the street from the post office. Thank you for your offer to help formatting and for so kindly bringing this up with me! If I do find an acceptable source you'll surely see a conclusive edit. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Buckhout1998 (talk • contribs)
 * That's great, keep looking. I'm not going to remove the info, but maybe I'll mark it with a "citation needed" tag. I'll also take a look at my sources to see if I can find anything. Beyond My Ken (talk) 03:52, 25 January 2019 (UTC)
 * So I found a source -- the original, failed, historic district nomination from 2003 - which described them as for "workers", so I changed that, and added the source. Beyond My Ken (talk) 01:17, 26 January 2019 (UTC)
