Oxford, Ohio
Hello there. I wanted to let you know that I reverted the recent edits you made to the Oxford, Ohio article and why. Wikipedia is about creating neutral, encyclopedic articles, not about making promotional, or otherwise biased, articles. Judging by your username of OxfordVisitorsBureau, I'm assuming this account is managed by the bureau, which can be problematic since any visitors' bureau is, by its very nature, focused on promotion. While there is certainly nothing wrong with making factual edits to the article (such as dates, history, or other objective information), anything that is promotional or subjective in nature will likely be removed. Be sure to read WP:COI, which deals with conflict of interest; WP:PROMOTION, which deals with promotional material; as well as WP:PEACOCK, which deals with subjective terms. There are other guidelines and policies that are important in article editing, but these are three great ones to start with. If you have any questions, feel free to reply here and I will do my best to answer them. If you'd like to see an example of a city article that is rated as "Featured" (highest quality classification), check out the article on fellow Ohio college town Kent, Ohio. While the Oxford article doesn't need to duplicate every aspect of the Kent article, the general layout and scope of content are things to look at for this article since it's a similar-sized town. Again, if you have any questions, feel free to ask! --JonRidinger (talk) 21:00, 6 June 2014 (UTC)
