Battle of Tippecanoe
Hello, I have removed a section of text you added to the Battle of Tippecanoe article. I have did this for two reasons, and hope neither will prevent you from further contributing to Wikipedia, in fact I encourage you take part in a discussion to help further improve the article.

The primary reason I removed the section of text was because it was largely redundant. Most the information was already stated within the article in other sections. It is a good idea to fully read an article before making significant contributions, to ensure you are not repeating data, and presenting things in a logical order. The second reason I removed the text was because it was seemingly not neutral. By grouping a large amount of negative information together into a single section, without providing any alternate point of view, can present a biased picture to the reader. The section had no citations, and the references following it were largely primary sources, which cannot be used to make the claims being made. (These claims are referenced elsewhere in the article already, but presented in a different tone and context). Anyways, I just wanted to point out the reason I made the change. &mdash;Charles Edward (Talk 13:24, 21 September 2011 (UTC)
