Hello, I'm Gtwfan52. Wikipedia is written by people who have a wide diversity of opinions, but we try hard to make sure articles have a neutral point of view. Your recent edit to St. George, Utah seemed less than neutral to me, so I removed it for now. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. ''also, instructions for properly referencing will follow this. Generally, except for basic factual information such as location, etc, independent references are best.''

Adding references can be easy
Hello! Here's how to add references from reliable sources for the content you add to Wikipedia. This helps maintain the Wikipedia policy of verifiability.

Adding well formatted references is actually quite easy:
 * 1) While editing any article or a wikipage, on the top of the edit window you will see a toolbar which says "Cite". Click on it.
 * 2) Then click on "Templates".
 * 3) Choose the most appropriate template and fill in as many details as you can. This will add a well formatted reference that is helpful in case the web URL (or "website link") becomes inactive in the future.
 * 4) Click on Preview when you're done filling out the 'Cite (web/news/book/journal)' to make sure that the reference is correct.
 * 5) Click on Insert to insert the reference into your editing window content.
 * 6) Click on Show preview to Preview all your editing changes.
 * Before clicking on Save page, check that a References header  ==References==  is near the end of the article.
 * And check that    is directly underneath that header.
 * 7.Click on Save page. ...and you've just added a complete reference to a Wikipedia article.

You can read more about this on Help:Edit toolbar or see this video File:RefTools.ogv.

Your recent edits at St. George
I really don't understand your recent changes. Pretty much, all you did was add some extra words that really didn't say anything, and to a small extent, made the article less accurate. The changes regarding the addition of wording about neighborhoods, especially. These were in bits discussing geology. It is not just under the particular neighborhoods you mentioned, but under the empty land, the connecting roads and the commercial establishment, all technically not part of a neighborhood. Also, adding 'Rapid' to "community growth" is basically adding an unrefernced opinion. A hint for you...throw your thesaurus away when you write for wikipedia. This is an encyclopedia. It is, to some extent, supposed to be boring. Gtwfan52 (talk) 08:29, 10 February 2013 (UTC)

Thank you for your contributions. Please remember to mark your edits, such as your recent edits to Corona, California, as "minor" only if they truly are minor edits. In accordance with Help:Minor edit, a minor edit is one that the editor believes requires no review and could never be the subject of a dispute. Minor edits consist of things such as typographical corrections, formatting changes or rearrangement of text without modification of content. Additionally, the reversion of clear-cut vandalism and test edits may be labeled "minor". Thank you. – S. Rich (talk) 15:38, 10 February 2013 (UTC)
