Dear Wiki-watchers~ I contributed information to the Gering, Nebraska Wiki page last night and this morning I received a message that my contribution may be considered vandalism.

My motive in adding the Oregon Trail Days information to the Gering, NE page is this: I am attending Lesley University's Master's in Educational Technology Progrem. One of our "choice" assignments is to contribute to a Wiki. Easy enough...

Could you please explain what part of my post was inappropriate and/or I am open to allowing the Wiki-Editors help me enhance my post so that it appears mor "wiki-friendly".

I realize that this part could be considered inappropriate and I agree: Unfortunately, several "key Gering-ites" will be unable to attend all of the festivities this year, due to their ultimate commitments to their Lesley University Co-hort group. It should be removed but the information about Oregon Trail Days is a longstanding tradition in Gering. Oregon Trail Days is in its 82nd year and it is an important part of our heritage and culture in Gering.

As an educator myself, I understand that there must be policing of some sort in Wikipedia but I request that you do not remove the post and I agree to allow you to edit/work with me to help make it a better addition to your already great site.

My home email address is krazydandelion@charter.net if someone would like to contact me to make this work. Yes... it is for my graduate class but moreso... it's adding our annual celebration to the Wikipedia Map.

Respectfully, Angie Shaw/Gering, Nebraska
