Quick note

Hi! I have just a couple of quick notes. I saw that there were some statements that were unsourced in the article, so I've tagged them. If the source is one of the other sources you can just add that citation and remove the tag as needed. I also wanted to let you know that I attributed one claim to the person making it, as it could have otherwise come across as original research, and I removed some point of view wording like notably. While the content does need to be notable to be in the article, using it in the article to designate one specific aspect as notable can be seen as subjective to the reader. For example, one person may see something as notable while another person doesn't.

Just wanted to let you know! Shalor (Wiki Ed) (talk) 19:16, 15 May 2019 (UTC)

Thank you for the update! And for taking the time to explain out these edits to me. I really appreciate it :)! I'll fix the cites.

UPDATE: I've fixed the cites and I'm confused. In many cases, by adding the cites you requested, I now have two sentences in a row both cited to the same cite. Why isn't it acceptable to just cite the first sentence? Why do I need to cite both? Thank you again! JustJanani (talk) 15:49, 16 May 2019 (UTC)

• Hi - it's fine to cite at the end of a paragraph, however in this situation you used the cite after the first sentence and not after the second. When you use a cite, the citation is considered to be used for the sentence or sentences preceding it. It won't cover the sentences after it, so if you're using it to cite the sentences after it needs to go after all of the text (in a paragraph) that it's being used to back up, if that makes sense.
