Hi. Welcome to Wikipedia, and thanks for working to improve the site with your edit to Park Performing Arts Center, as we really appreciate your participation. However, the edit had to be reverted, because Wikipedia cannot accept uncited material. 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.

In addition, please remember that Wikipedia is not a periodical like a newspaper or magazine, nor a blog or forum, but an encyclopedia, so its content must be written with timeless wording, and not dated wording. Phrases like "in recent days" are vague to readers, especially readers who might read the article a month or a year from now, and who will not understand when these "days" were.

Lastly, Wikipedia must be written in a formal tone, without personal opinions, or promotional language, as with the phrase "former glory."

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) 16:14, 11 June 2020 (UTC)

Hi. Please do not persistent in violating Wikpedia's policies by adding material to its articles that is no supported by citations, as I explained to you above. If you continue to violate Wikipedia's rules, your edits will be reverted, and you may risk being blocked from editing. Please do not make that necessary. If you're having trouble regarding your edits, I can help you learn the ropes so that your additions will more likely be preserved. But ignoring the site's policies and messages like this will not effect that. Thanks. Nightscream (talk) 17:36, 11 June 2020 (UTC)

Your corrections are not correct and I added the research under external links, do you reaseach before you delete things. https://hudsonreporter.com/2020/02/22/open-house-at-historic-park-theatre-in-union-city/


 * My edits were entirely correct under the policies I cited above. I've been editing Wikipedia since 2005, and am therefore well-versed in those policies, so unless the editing community here has radically changed them, no further "research" is required. It is you who are expected to conform to the rules when you visit someone else's property, and that includes on the Web. Your edits violated them. If I'm wrong, then please explain how your edits did not violate them.


 * Again, if you'd like to learn more about editing on Wikipedia works, and need help in understanding this site's policies and guidelines feel free to let me know. I'd be more than happy to offer a hand. Nightscream (talk) 19:45, 11 June 2020 (UTC)

I did make the mistake of not adding the date, I later corrected that and you still deleted my edit. I have not been editing here in wikipedia since 2005 but I just wanted to correct and updated the page. I did give you research on the new management. Under the subject history it already mentioned that the theatre was in disrepair and is being reopened. I just added that fact to the beginning. I would appreciate your help on how to update your article. I can send you all research required. Here are some articles: https://hudsonreporter.com/2020/02/22/open-house-at-historic-park-theatre-in-union-city/ https://patch.com/new-jersey/jersey-city/calendar/event/20200307/799456/ribbon-cutting-ceremony-for-the-renewed-historic-park-theatre https://www.broadwayworld.com/new-jersey/article/Open-House-and-Refurbishment-Of-Historic-Park-Theatre-Announced-in-Union-City-20200223 https://www.broadwayworld.com/new-jersey/article/The-Historic-Park-Theatre-In-Union-City-to-Hold-Open-House-And-Ribbon-Cutting-Performers-Announced-20200305 https://www.broadwayworld.com/new-jersey/article/Photo-Flash-Inside-The-Park-Theatres-Open-House-20200307

The embroidery museum is not there anymore there is a gallery gallery instead: https://www.tapinto.net/towns/madison/sections/tourism/articles/paintings-by-flemington-artist-cara-london-at-the-new-gallery-at-the-park-in-union-city-5


 * Actually, the mistake was that you did not adhere to the policies regarding the placement of citations of your sources in the article, whicht I mentioned to you (and wikilinked) above. Here, let me link them to you again, with a bit more explicit description (The first three are the most relevant to this discussion):


 *  Verifiability (Shortcut: WP:V) - In a nutshell, you have to enable readers to verify that the information you add comes from the source you say it did. How you do this leads into the following...
 *  Citing Sources (Shortcut: WP:CS) - You have to cite your sources. You do this by doing the following...
 *  Inline citations (Shortcut: WP:INCITE) - You have to place an inline citation in the article body, at the end of the text that it supports. The most common way to do this is with a footnote. WP:CITEFOOT shows you to create one. (Keep in mind that in order for the footnote to show up, the article has to have a tag at the bottom of an article, as described at WP:REFLIST. Fortunately, the Park Performing Arts Center article already has this.
 *  Identifying Reliable Sources (Shortcut: WP:IRS) - This means you can only use sources that are generally recognized as reliable by the editing community here. The Hudson Reporter and Broadway World are indeed considered reliable, so feel free to use them. An important part of WP:IRS is No user-generated content (WP:USERG). This means do not use a source where just anyone can publish, like a blog, a comments section, a web forum, an uncredentialed person's social media page, etc. This also includes websites that allow anyone to contribute, including wikis (I know, ironic, right?), imdb, or Patch media. While most of the sources you mentioned above are solid, like I said, the Patch Media one isn't, because anyone can submit a story to them.

Although this isn't as contentious to your edits as the the three above, I did mention these in my first message to you (because it's what I usually include in my messages to new editors), but it's a good thing to know nonetheless:


 *  Primary, secondary and tertiary sources (Shortcut: WP:PSTS) - This means you have to use sources that are not directly connected with the event. Instead of offering an insider's view of the information (like the owner of the PPAC writing on his own blog or Facebook page), it offers information from someone one step removed from it, like a reporter who interviewed the PPAC's owner and put it in a newspaper article. Again, The Hudson Reporter and Broadway World meet this requirement.

Editors are expected to learn these policies, but if you still have questions after you've read these policies and guidelines, let me know. Hope this helps. :-) Nightscream (talk) 20:12, 12 June 2020 (UTC)
