North Edwards, California‎
Hello again. I notice that you keep on trying to re-insert a personal essay written in the first person into the article about North Edwards, California‎. While you can certainly write something like that on your own user page, it isn't really appropriate in tone for an encyclopedia article. Also, Wikipedia has very specific policies that information should be verifiable with citations and that original research is not allowed. I'm afraid that your essay fails on all counts and really doesn't belong in the article. If you like, I'll copy it onto your user page for you, let me know. &mdash;Elipongo (Talk contribs) 09:40, 16 January 2008 (UTC)

thanks, not necessary. kind offer none the less.

just please, if you choose to edit my entry again, at least be so kind as to edit away the previously made entry that NE looks "like Radiator Springs" which would seem to fly in the face of the wiki rules being so stringently applied against my simplistic rememberings.

not sure who reads a wiki entry about north edwards anyway, but ok.


 * Yes, I noticed that you erased that bit- and you were quite correct to do so! I would have erased it myself, but I failed to notice it. Good catch and thanks for helping out! &mdash;Elipongo (Talk contribs) 10:26, 16 January 2008 (UTC)


 * I'm going to remove your essay. While it's an interesting recollectiobn of the town, it's more suitable to a blog than to an ecyclopedia. If you find some reliable sources that support your asertions then parts might be worth adding back, if written in a more encylopedic manner. Thakns for contributing, but understand that there are standards. ·:· Will Beback  ·:· 22:48, 1 February 2008 (UTC)
