User talk:SlackPA

Welcome!
Hello, SlackPA, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Unfortunately, your edit to Montreal does not conform to Wikipedia's Neutral Point of View policy (NPOV). Wikipedia articles should refer only to facts and interpretations that have been stated in print or on reputable websites or other forms of media.

There's a page about the NPOV policy that has tips on how to effectively write about disparate points of view without compromising the NPOV status of the article as a whole. If you are stuck, and looking for help, please come to the Questions page, where experienced Wikipedians can answer any queries you have! Or, to ask for help on your talk page, and a volunteer should respond shortly. Below are a few other good links for newcomers: I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your name on talk pages using four tildes ( ~ ); this will automatically produce your name and the date. If you have any questions, check out Questions or ask me on my talk page. Again, welcome! Magnolia677 (talk) 21:39, 26 July 2020 (UTC)

Your edits
First, thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. I'm writing because I reverted two of your edits, and wanted to give you more detail. Your editing style is unique, in that unlike many new editors, you have been adding long, detailed, well-sourced edits to high-profile articles. My first concern is the tone of your edits. At Montreal, your edits appeared unencyclopedic and first-person, using text like "which stretches for what feels like blocks", and "Beyond poutine", and "Smoked meat is understood as a tenet of the Montreal lived experience". Wikipedia's tone is boring and legal-sounding, and never first-person. Some articles that can assist you are WP:NPOV and MOS:WTW.

My second concern is technical. First, section headings are not bolded or italicized unless necessary. You also added a lot of unnecessary "nowikis" to your sources. Referencing for beginners may help. As well, your additions are huge, and tend to unbalance the article (some may need their own article). Also, some of the text you added was background information, which would be necessary if writing a thesis, but tends to clog a Wikipedia article because it is not directly related to the topic. Again, your edits are well-researched and important, but I urge you to look at some of the links I've sent. Please feel free to contact me if you need assistance. Thank you.
