==June 25, 2009 assessment== I just re-assessed this article for Wikiproject Reenactment as C-class (up from Start-class). In checking against B-class criteria I find the following: Referencing and citations: not met. The article needs better referencing, including more inline citations. Coverage and accuracy: met. This is right on the edge; I think several sections could still use expansion, but the frame of it is certainly there. Structure: met. Grammar: met. Supporting materials: not met. I think this would benefit substantially from a map showing the general layout of the museum grounds (or an aerial photo -- perhaps someone could take one looking down from the balloon). It would also benefit from better photographs, possibly including building exteriors, the balloon, costumed staff, and special events. Accessibility: met. Overall, I think this article is coming along well. Cheers! cmadler (talk) 14:34, 25 June 2009 (UTC)

Advertisement Issue

I agree that much of the latter portion of the article reads like an advertisement for Conner Prairie. A solution appears to be deleting those lines and simply have a single link to the company website for visitor engagement.

However, if I am wrong and the article is judged not to have advertisement content, I do not want to delete what appears to be the offending content erroneously.

I will appreciate any advice on moving forward. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Robertnola (talk • contribs) 14:14, 18 December 2018 (UTC)

@Sammi Brie: Can you look at this article and see what needs to be cut (promotional content, etc.)? I'm sure there's some WP:SIGCOV in the Indy papers. Mvcg66b3r (talk) 01:44, 7 June 2024 (UTC)

I have not had my regular computer this week (and still don't), so I have held off from major editing work this week @Mvcg66b3r. This is not a topic I am familiar with, but you have the right idea. You have TWL access yourself and could probably do a good job. Sammi Brie (she/her • t • c) 04:06, 7 June 2024 (UTC)

Why don't you have your regular computer? Mvcg66b3r (talk) 04:10, 7 June 2024 (UTC)
