Hi. Welcome to Wikipedia, and thanks for working to improve the site with your edits to North Hudson Regional Fire and Rescue, as we really appreciate your participation. However, parts of 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 This includes material lacking cited sources, or obtained through personal knowledge or unpublished synthesis of previously published material.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 all material added to 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.

I understand that you wanted to update the information on the new chief, but you left the old reference at the end of that sentence, which supported the prior chief, Brion McEldowney. By changing the material and leaving the old citation, rather than adding a new citation, the article gives the impression that that citation supports the information on the new chief, which it obviously does not. If you want to update the material in the article, please make sure to provide sources for it to. For now, don't worry about the passage about the new chief; as I added a new source to support it. But the other material on the department's total staff was reverted, as I do not have a source offhand to support it. If you know of one, and can add it, then feel free to change that back.

If you 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) 04:17, 8 April 2012 (UTC)
