 * Right. I removed the material that was copied from the site I linked above. I see that another admin has protected the article as well now. SQL Query me!  22:07, 31 March 2019 (UTC)

This is part of the history and was changed. Also you are welcome to change it but it needs to be included. Also Massac County was not formed until roughly 50 years later, so that must be corrected. — Preceding unsigned comment added by CaveTimes (talk • contribs)


 * Sure it is. CLCStudent (talk) 22:10, 31 March 2019 (UTC)

Look at the own Massac County history the French did not name the county. — Preceding unsigned comment added by CaveTimes (talk • contribs)


 * Sure they didn't. CLCStudent (talk) 22:11, 31 March 2019 (UTC)

Massac County, established in 1843, is located south of Johnson County, east of Pulaski County and bordered on the south by the Ohio River. Metropolis is the county seat and the largest city in the county. It is situated at the site of Fort Massac, which was settled by the French in 1757.

There is a huge difference from "Fort Massac" vs "Massac County". — Preceding unsigned comment added by CaveTimes (talk • contribs)

April 18, 1839, McBane and Wilcox laid out what the former dreamed would become a mighty city, and named it without a duplicate in all the world, 'Metropolis' (largest city).

"City lots were sold in 1840. Washington and Franklin Parks, the court house square, and a lot to the Christian Church, were their benefactions to the public. James Hendricks Gaines Wilcox owned and occupied the only residence. Immediately after the birth and christening of the city, Mr. Wilcox erected a splendid brick residence on Front Street. "

The acknowledgment to the plot of the City of Metropolis under the name of "Metropolis City" was recorded in the office of the Recorder of Deeds of Johnson County, Illinois, in Deed Book A at page 268 and also in Deed Book B, page 21. The date of acknowledgment was May 4, 1839.


 * FROM WHAT IT APPEARS WE WILL NEED TO SEEK LEGAL ACTION TO CORRECT THE FACTS (AGAINST CLCSTUDENT AND WIKI) **** WE WILL BE DRAFTING A LETTER TO CHUCK ROSLOF (LEGAL COUNSEL FOR WIKI) croslof@wikimedia.org

Your recent edits could give Wikipedia contributors the impression that you may consider legal or other "off-wiki" action against them, or against Wikipedia itself. Please note that making such threats on Wikipedia is strictly prohibited under Wikipedia's policies on legal threats and civility. Users who make such threats may be blocked. If you have a dispute with the content of any page on Wikipedia, please follow the proper channels for dispute resolution. Please be sure to comment on content, not contributors, and where possible make specific suggestions for changes supported by reliable independent sources and focusing especially on verifiable errors of fact. Thank you. SQL Query me! 23:00, 31 March 2019 (UTC)
 * I will give you an opportunity to retract your legal threat now. If you choose not to - per our our policy on legal threats, I will be left with no choice but to block this account from editing until such time that your legal action has concluded - or you have retracted your threat. SQL Query me!  23:06, 31 March 2019 (UTC)

CLCSTUDENT HAS DELETED TEXT WITH BAD FAITH AND HAS BLOCKED EDITING OF ADDING FACTS THAT WERE NOT INCLUDED.
 * ALL I'M ASKING IS FOR THE FACTS TO BE LISTED ON THE PAGE OF METROPOLIS, IL **** YOU WILL NOT BULLY ME AND DELETE FACTS


 * We're not bothered by added facts. The problem is copy-pasted content - that violates copyright. I'll add a line about the city's founders (both of them) with a more reliable source than the tourism website. Huon (talk) 23:41, 31 March 2019 (UTC)

Thank you,


 * Here you are. I suggest you unequivocally withdraw your legal threats. Since such threats have (and are often meant to have) a chilling effect on other editors, Wikipedia prohibits them, and editors who engage in legal threats or pursue legal action against other editors may be blocked from editing. We have dispute resolution processes; while you can of course decide that legal action is warranted, you cannot threaten legal action and edit Wikipedia at the same time. It's either-or. Huon (talk) 23:55, 31 March 2019 (UTC)
 * So, are you going to withdraw you legal threat, or no? SQL Query me!  04:20, 2 April 2019 (UTC)

We will be addressing CLCSTUDENT and a complaint will be filed. The issues started with CLCSTUDENT on the page before these notes. CLCSTUDENT continued to delete each important fact, including those that were not protected. The Metropolis, IL Page is still missing very important names and details. The page still has several errors in its history. We will allow WIKI to decide on a corporate level from CHUCK ROSLOF (LEGAL COUNSEL FOR WIKI) croslof@wikimedia.org — Preceding unsigned comment added by CaveTimes (talk • contribs)
 * In that case, per our policy on legal threats, I have blocked this account from editing indefinitely. Please let me, or any other admin know when your legal action has concluded - or when you have unequivocally withdrawn your threat as requested by myself, and fellow admin above. The easiest way to notify us is by using the  template, or via WP:UTRS.  SQL Query me!  21:38, 4 April 2019 (UTC)

The page is missing several Notable People, CLCSTUDENT deleted them.

CaveTimes, you are invited to the Teahouse!
