Talk:Simpson, Saskatchewan

Help needed
Anyone knowledgeable about the village please help wikify it, by citing sources, etc. There has been lot of vandalism going on here. --Victor D PARLE 18:34, 4 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Tried to clean up a bit. Um, I hope I'm not missing something, but the 'Interesting Facts' section draws my attention. As of the date of this post the legal action stuff does not make sense and I wonder about the relevance. Mumun 無文 23:41, 4 May 2007 (UTC)
 * I removed the Interesting Facts section altogether. Please re-insert only when appropriate sources can be identified. Mumun 無文 17:03, 9 May 2007 (UTC)

I'm from Simpson and I can say that its all true. I'll try to find sources but honestly, how do you expect me to find sources about a town that was never bigger than 350 people?? Its not like there is a ton of historical texts out there about small, relativly unknown villages in Saskatchewan. Let alone said historical texts that are available online. I really hate it when people delete/change stuff simply because they dont know about it. If you dont know about it, make a note about it or mark it as unsourced but dont freaking delete it. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.89.74.17 (talk • contribs) 03:26, 16 May 2007 (UTC)


 * Just because you, an anonymous IP who claims to have written this article, say something is true doesn't make it relevant. Wikipedia is not a collection of random factlets. Please refer to the guidelines (Relevance) before adding irrelevant material. This is an encylopaedia project and so you must provide sources for material that you add to articles. We've had lots of trouble with anon.

Whatever. I have zero desire to argue with some clueless guy on wikipedia. Have fun.

Removed Material
Here is the material that I and other editors removed from the article in increments:


 * ''in the early years the young kids had a cop chase them around the town, then they all sat infront of the collens and the old guy went ten miles an hour and then cop him for running a stop sign


 * Interesting Facts


 * ''Because of a student vote, from 1994 until its closing in 2002, Simpson Schools official mascot was mickel jackson.

''
 * In 1992 the producers of the TV show The Simpsons sent the Town of Simpson a letter threatening possible legal action if the town attempted to capitalize on the success of the show and its similar name. Nothing ever became of it but in an odd twist in a later episode of the show, characters Patty and Selma were heard suggesting changing their town's name from "Springfield" to "Seinfeld" in order to leech off the popularity of the latter hit TV show.


 * This stuff is fake dont listen to it! I live near simpson the school wasnt sold to gypsies! IT is all real always listen to it because Simpson is awesome!!some times the gypsies make bome boxes.

I break with my original suggestion and now propose that none of the above material be re-added to the article.Mumun 無文 13:35, 16 May 2007 (UTC)

History sections
Added tourist attractions and local history that I have been to, seen, and can verify with references. SriMesh | talk  02:50, 25 June 2007 (UTC)
