Regarding citations edit
Hi, I've reverted your edit to Centralia, Pennsylvania, because:
1) Wikipedia is not a source for Wikipedia - Wikipedia is considered a user generated source, and so fails its own reliable sourcing standards. This is intentional, so as to not create circular sourcing (which is, in effect, no sourcing).
2) The URL you cited does not mention Centralia at all. Sources must support every point they are being cited for. If an article contains the claims ABCD, but the source only supports the claims B and D, then the source cannot be used for claims A and C.
For more information, please see WP:Identifying reliable sources and WP:No original research. Ian.thomson (talk) 00:32, 15 February 2016 (UTC)
