Dispute Resolution concerning the Links Section of Bloomfield, Indiana It would be better to discuss the issue rather than to continue edit warring. Wikipedia has laid out some policies on http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Dispute_resolution that you should review. This is my personal attempt to "Discuss with the other party": I do not see why you deleted the Bloomfield Chamber of Commerce link. That was viable and useful information, complete with up to date community information. Why did you delete it? We obviously disagree on the quality of the Bloomfieldin.com website. It seems that your position as the site owner is giving you a biased view of its validity as a helpful source to the public. If you disagree then I can reply with my list of reasonings for its deletion, but as it stands I see no need to publicly criticize your website. Let's keep this civil.

Dispute Resolution concerning the Links Section of Bloomfield, Indiana. It is very sad that an influential businessman like yourself would respond in that manner. I'd like to take this into Dispute Resolution. Showgoeson (talk) 19:12, 14 April 2011 (UTC)

Dispute Resolution concerning the Links Section of Bloomfield, Indiana Frankly, I've got better things to with my time. I should hope that someone, you, who represents the town of Bloomfield would have more respect for the town. I was personally offended by your website because it gives an inaccurate and negative description of MY town. I'm not one to sit idly by and watch someone like you insult the good people I know and love.

You said "the community of Bloomfield has the right to have it listed because it is! a vital resource of information on the town of Bloomfield and the community itself." Most (if not all) of the information that is on your site could be easily found on a Google search. Your site is not vital. I don't know who told you you were so important, you are most definitely a megalomaniac. Accept this and try to better yourself. I don't care how many hits you get. I don't care if you were on the news. I don't CARE if you talk to a lot of people. It does not make your crimes more legitimate. It does not make your foul attitude any better. Learn to take criticism with grace.

I'm sure you think you are doing nothing wrong. I'll explain why and how you are insulting MY and YOUR town. You can take my advice and try to improve, or not. No matter how much you can try to flout your credentials, you have to realize that there are still improvements to be made. You are not God, you are not perfect. I know you are going to be telling yourself that you are too "busy". YOU are representing a town. You even claim your site to be the official "Town Website". You made the commitment, now follow through. My suggestions will only take a couple hours. I know you have a couple hours.

These are the opinions of someone with experience. You would be wise not to ignore them.

1. The site design is right out of the early 1990's, which makes it look like MY town is stuck in the past. It is not that hard to switch over to a newer template.

2. On both the website and in our correspondences you have used terrible spelling and grammar, this is highly disrespectful. If you cannot read/write properly I know there is a terrific literacy program in Bloomfield. Otherwise, proofread. At the very least use a spell check. It is not difficult, it is not time consuming. I know my town, and we are not stupid.

3. SO much out of date information! The new addresses have been in effect for a long time now. You could at least even slowly be going through the addresses in the "Local Churches" section.

4.The use of Wikipedia content on "About Bloomfield" and "Local Schools". If you are so lazy that you can't do research on your own, fine. But at the very least say that the content is from Wikipedia. My town is not full of thieves. I don't appreciate that a town which I KNOW is full of hardworking people is being represented as lazy.

5. You insist on always setting up a forum. You can see that there is no activity, so why don't you just delete it? It clutters up the page and also makes the site look very inactive. You have one on your CSR website as well, and its dead too. Delete it! Same thing goes for your Twitter account. Its a very basic design theory, you don't have to be an expert to understand it.

6. It's poor form to constantly be deleting stuff off your Guestbook. I've seen stuff that wasn't even negative being deleted. Calm down on the delete button. At some point 100% positive sunshine and cupcakes starts to look a little fake.

7. "This Month's Poll" has been up there for at least a year. Either delete it or update it. So many of the things I see are just worthless and taking up space. Its like you added content for the sake of content.

I will stop myself halfway, I've got more important things to do with my life. You, on the other hand, don't. This is your website, fix it. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Showgoeson (talk • contribs) 15:05, 17 April 2011 (UTC)
