User talk:Cityof Stillwater

Hello, I'm guessing by your screen name that you are either a resident of and/or an employee of the City of Stillwater. If you are acting as an employee, please be aware of Wikipedia's Conflict of Interest policy. It is not a good idea to have an employee of a given organization edit an article because it violates Wikipedia's policy of having neutral and unbiased articles. If you are editing as an individual, be aware of certain guidelines and policies in place to build good articles. Guidelines for city articles can be found at WP:USCITY and examples of featured city articles can be found at pages such as Stephens City, Virginia, Kent, Ohio, and Hillsboro, Oregon among those of similar size to Stillwater. Minneapolis and Ann Arbor, Michigan are other examples for larger cities. These guidelines give a general idea of what is expected and appropriate in a city article. Articles need to have reliable sources and avoid peacock terms and other unsourced claims and boosterism. We also need to avoid excessive detail, such as the list of awards won by the city government departments that was recently inserted. Also, please do not remove maintenance tags at the top of the page unless they have been addressed. Those are to alert voth editors and readers of problems and are meant to help improve the article. If you have questions, please ask! --JonRidinger (talk) 21:09, 15 December 2010 (UTC)

Welcome to Wikipedia. Because we have a policy against usernames that give the impression that the account represents a group, organization or website, your account has been blocked; you are welcome to create a new account with a username that represents only you. You should also read our conflict of interest guideline. If your username doesn't represent a group, organization or website, you may appeal this username block by adding the text below this notice. Thank you. Alexf(talk) 12:53, 16 December 2010 (UTC)
