Improving the article on Kingston upon Hull
Hi there, just wanted to say thanks for helping to improve and expand the article.

If you look on the article's discussion page, you'll see a section where several of us talk about getting the article to good article status. The biggest part of this effort over the last few weeks and months has been providing reliable sources to the existing material, since any information we add must be backed up by a reliable source, or else it can be removed as original research. Basically, reliable sources include established news outlets like Radio Humberside and the Hull Daily Mail, government studies, peer-reviewed published papers, etc. You can find a lot of examples down in the References section of the article.

If you look at the article's history, you'll see that a lot of the work Keith D and I have been doing the past few weeks and months has been to find and cite reliable sources for material in the article. Once we've been able to source the assertions in the article, we feel that it'll ready for a good article review.

In summary, welcome and thanks again. If you can find and cite sources for the information you're adding, you'd be really helping the article. Here is some information on using the citation templates that generate the reference footnotes. The Manual of Style also has more information.

Feel free to respond here with any questions here on your talk page, on my talk page, or on the article's discussion page.

Hi Keith, I have removed the rest of the contribution I wrote for the Nightlife section along with the material you removed. Maybe someone else will take the trouble to rewrite an acceptable version. Best regards.
