Chestnut Hill Pot Culture
Hi Danny,

Welcome to wikipedia. I have to warn you, once you get started on editing articles, it's a bit like falling down the rabbit hole...

There were a few things about that inclusion that wouldn't have passed muster, and would have been removed by someone other than me. One, and this is common to a lot of people when the first start out is the scope was a little too ambitious. Making it its own section, when there was only one reference to it. And it's not about every single person in CH. Is one local magazine article about some people who smoke pot as important to someone who knows nothing about Chestnut Hill as its History or its Parks and Playgrounds or its Educational Institutions? Not really. It's relatively insignificant.

That being said, looking over the article (which I was not that familiar with before, I only followed up on you when I saw that a new user had added a "Notable Person" to the Mount Airy article, and those are usually suspicious - I probably delete 20-50 non-notable people who add themselves to various articles a week) and there's not a real good place to put it.

What I would think appropriate would be if it were one single sentence. And make sure it's the best written (grammar and spelling and word choice) sentence you can make it. And it should be in a section about Culture in general. But, if this is the only entry in the Culture subheading, then some other editor will very likely delete it. Don't worry, though, because previous versions of articles are always available when you click on the "History" tab at the top.

My suggestion: Look for the original High Times article as well. Two references make it much stronger. And, get a little bit of random other fluff about CH culture in general. A couple of sentences altogether and one sentence about the marijuana, and it should be fine.

I'm also gonna copy and paste a version of this onto the Discussion page: Talk:Chestnut_Hill,_Philadelphia,_Pennsylvania. You can respond on either. Let me know if you have any questions or would like some tips or/and tricks! JesseRafe (talk) 23:30, 5 January 2012 (UTC)
