Regarding your edits to Lititz, Pennsylvania
editHi. I've reverted or changed some of your recent edits to Lititz, Pennsylvania for the following reasons:
- Gary Miles is not notable; even though local residents may know of him, he does not have a Wikipedia article and does not meet the general notability guideline.
- Some of your characterizations of the high school's mascot may have been a violation of Wikipedia's policy on neutrality, and the entire paragraph was not referenced with reliable sources. Statements like "Unfortunately, the people prefer their racist mascot", "benign titles that may render them helpless and bullied", "made efforts to appear open-minded and accepting to the resident minorities", and "ever-loved mascot" are particularly problematic without any references.
If you have questions, please read the linked guidelines, or ask me on my talk page. Thanks! — KV5 • Talk • 01:56, 26 May 2010 (UTC)
- Though the tone of your edits at Warwick High School (Lititz, Pennsylvania) were more neutrally worded, they still need to be referenced as they address a controversial topic. Please read WP:Citing sources for more information about adding references to articles. Thanks. — KV5 • Talk • 02:56, 26 May 2010 (UTC)
- Your recent contributions were more neutrally presented, and contained a very reliable reference. Good work, and hopefully no hard feelings. Cheers!
- P.S. To answer your earlier question, I'm a third-generation Warwick graduate, class of 2002. — KV5 • Talk • 17:29, 26 May 2010 (UTC)

18th-Early 19th century
editI've clairified some of your text. I've got a comment though. The 1850 fact, while sourced, does not seem to fit within the 18th to early 19th segment. I suggest maybe 18th century to mid (1865 ish) 19th centruy, as that would better fit the slave text and woujld mark a significant turning point in U.s. economy (no more free work). Or, that segment on 1850 could be moved into the next lower section. And I suggest reading Template:Cite book, which helps easily cite your sources. Buggie111 (talk) 19:24, 26 May 2010 (UTC)
