 * Hello, Letitsnow, and welcome to Wikipedia. I see that you have edited some articles on Owatonna.  Minnesota has many active Wikipedians who have worked to improve Minnesota and related articles; you may be able to get some ideas by looking at the state's article and those of some of the other Minnesota communties.


 * I suspect that your edits to the fair article may have been reverted by a bot because of your edit summary. I have reinstated the article, but have edited it some for style and grammar.  Since I did that however I looked at the fair's website, and it appears that your edits were copied verbatim from the website.  You can rewrite material to put on Wikipedia, but not simply copy it. Therefore I suggest that you use the website as a source, any other sources you can find, and create new text so as to avoid copyright problems-- otherwise the text may be removed again.
