Jim, I noticed your contributions to that page. Randolph is a city with a home rule Charter that created a Town Council Manger form of government.

There is an error on the Wiki page and I do not know how to correct it.

Randolph has 3 elected boards.

The Council,the School Committee and the Stetson hall trustees.

The Board of Health is appointed with 5 members.

The DPW Board was abolished, there are people that want to created a DPW advisory Board. [copy ends]


 * The above welcome is canned, but meant sincerely. We usually communicate on each other's talk pages -- since I have started this discussion here, you can reply here and I will see it, at least for a week or two. We generally indent each post one level by adding colons at the beginning of the first line of each paragraph.  We sign our posts with four tildes (~), which, as you see, gives a full linked signature.


 * Editing is simple -- just click on the "edit" tab above and start typing, then preview your changes, and when OK, save them, both with tabs at the bottom of the edit box. WIKI markup -- the special characters that produce special results is covered at How_to_edit_a_page. It looks like you will need to scroll down to the "Elected boards" heading and add a new one, "Appointed boards" (the equal signs create headings), and then make the appropriate changes. You probably should provide a reference for your changes -- since this is a little tricky, use this


 * which I created with a template which is above the edit box. Questions? Just post them here. If it scares you to do live edits, you can create a sandbox page of your own to try things in -- I'll show you how -- but nobody will jump up and down on a newbie trying his or her best. . .
