Hello! I reverted your prior edit, and see you've put it back and added some more. I'd like to not revert them again. Please edit your additions to follow the Manual of Style. This would mean removing/toning down words like "remarkable" and "Thousands of smiling people". Also, things like "The Gardens are maintained through cooperation from volunteers of the Windham Garden Club and Public Works employees and are open to visitors year round." also amount to advertisement. Thank you and welcome to Wikipedia. Markvs88 (talk) 21:25, 21 October 2010 (UTC)

I understand what you are saying. But the page is still there. Are you asking me to edit it, or are you taking it down? Jean de Smet (talk) 14:45, 22 October 2010 (UTC)
 * I like your additions, they are good for the page. But I want you to edit them to be more encyclopedic. I'll do one change to give you an example, you can compare it by clicking on View History and comparing the two versions. Thanks! Markvs88 (talk) 14:48, 22 October 2010 (UTC)

You did the biggest one. I'm not sure about the logic behind the quotation marks. And I don't know how to make links in the body, or whether to add them in that separate area, or both. Since the Frog Story is referenced in the Thread City Crossing piece, there should be a link to the story. (I heard that the story on this site is wrong, but I can't even find it.) I'm going "in again" to try to add links and ref.
 * I figured that would make it easier on you. :-) I don't understand, what do you mean about quotation marks? In general it's best to keep links near their text and only add to External links if it's not mentioned in the article and/or a general resource. Willimantic's external links list is actually too long. A better example would be Milford, Connecticut. Markvs88 (talk) 16:00, 22 October 2010 (UTC)
