Hello, I'm Kbseah. Wikipedia is written by people who have a wide diversity of opinions, but we try hard to make sure articles have a neutral point of view. Your recent edit to Conmee, Ontario seemed less than neutral and has been removed. If you think this was a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. ''The statement about increase in population is fine, if your source is properly cited. However please avoid promotional, advertising-like language.'' Kbseah (talk) 22:23, 23 August 2017 (UTC)

My name is Bob MacMaster and I am an elected official and Councillor of Conmee Township. The statement is Census fact. The statement is made with pride as a resident and can only be called promotional if made in comparison. Please restore the statement.


 * Hello Thanks for your reply. Civic pride is only natural, and many contributors to Wikipedia write about places or communities where they live. However, they must adhere to a neutral point of view and be verifiable. Specifically, phrases like "fond memory" and "perfect place to live" that you used in your edit are decidedly not neutral. The statement about population growth by itself would be appropriate but sources should be properly cited. I hope you will understand my reasons for the reversion.

Hello - I will enter a less verbose and prideful statement. Thank you. Also, perhaps you can assist me on how to insert an updated picture of the Community Complex. (I am the copyright holder of the pictures)


 * Thank you, I appreciate your effort and contribution! To use a picture in an article, you'll first have to upload it and release it for use under an appropriate license that allows free distribution (typically one of the Creative Commons licenses). There are several ways to do so, but the easiest is to upload the file to Wikimedia Commons (they have a step-by-step upload wizard), which will also allow the file to be used across other Wiki projects. You can also enter additional metadata, e.g. date, location, longer description, that will make the image more useful and informative. To embed it into the Wikipedia article you'll then need to use the standard link syntax (double square brackets) with the prefix "File:" before the image filename, see instructions. When you upload, it's best to give the file a descriptive name, e.g. "Conmee Ontario Community Center in 2016.jpg", rather than something too short or cryptic like "Conmee.jpg".
 * If you want to change the image in the info box, the easiest option is probably to simply substitute the existing filename with the new filename. Before you click "Save Changes" you should check that the formatting is correct by clicking "Show Preview". Further information on using images on Wikipedia.
 * I hope this helps, and thanks again -- Kbseah (talk) 06:17, 25 August 2017 (UTC)

Hello Kbseah- thank you for the direction on how to change a picture. I was able to successfully update the image of our Community Centre with our current picture.
 * Looks good! Cheers Kbseah (talk) 17:40, 27 August 2017 (UTC)
