South Olmsted?[edit]

Although I lived in North Olmsted as a child, one thing they never told us at Maple Elementary School was why the city was called North Olmsted. Is there a South Olmsted somewhere? Inquiring minds need to know! -- Mycroft.Holmes 18:34, 13 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

"South" Olmsted would technically be Olmsted Falls & Olmsted Township, which is directly to the south of North Olmsted. Applemaster 06:17, 2 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Copyright violations[edit]

Much of the History section appears to have been copied from here and here. I hate to tag this with {{Copyvio}}, because the first thing that does is warn Do not edit this page until an administrator has resolved this issue, which strikes me as counterproductive -- in my opinion, it's a good thing to edit an infringing page to cure the infringement. In case any North Olmsted fans want to have at it, I'll hold off on adding the tag for a week or so. TJRC (talk) 00:02, 21 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Page still remains as is, so I've added the template. TJRC (talk) 00:12, 1 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Um, no, it's not a good idea to edit an infringing page to 'cure' a problem. If it's a real problem, the article/content needs to be removed by an admin, because editing it makes it harder for us to determine if or where there's a copyright problem.

In this case, the copyrighted content in the 'history' section was added in the second edit to the article, way back in October 2002. Some wikilinks and a bit of minor copyediting over the years didn't change it much from the original edit, but many improvements had been made too. Nonetheless, that plagiarized section had to go, so it was best to delete the article entirely and create a new article without that portion of the text. Interested editors can write the town's history in original prose. Thanks. KrakatoaKatie 12:31, 15 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
