On the whole, the content is not problematic, although you should lose non-encyclopaedic phrases like The new Village was officially on the map!. The editor who tagged it raised the following objections
 * This article has multiple issues. Please help improve it or discuss these issues on the talk page.''
 * It does not have a lead section. Tagged since July 2011.

Please use proper citations containing each referenced work's title, author, publisher, date, and source, so that the article remains verifiable in the future. Several templates and a tool are available to facilitate formatting. (July 2011)
 * This article includes a list of references, related reading or external links, but its sources remain unclear because it lacks inline citations. Please improve this article by introducing more precise citations where appropriate. (July 2011)

The article looked as if it was copied whole from an unknown source, which is likely to be non-free (text can only be copied from explicitly public domain sources. Some of these have not been addressed. You need to link to other Wikipedia articles, create a short lead section, and format the refs properly. See Octagon Chapel, Liverpool to see what an article should look like.

Format your refs properly, using in-line cites. They don't have to be fancy like the Liverpool article, just something like will do.

If you have a url, give a description and format it like this  . For example The little village that grew : a history of North Red Deer p. 3 will display as The little village that grew : a history of North Red Deer p. 3 &mdash; much neater.

To show your reference list. Have a reference section st the bottom with just the References heading followed by just. That will display the references. See the Octagon Chapel article in edit mode if you're not sure what I mean. I'll move your text here shortly. Hope this helps.  Jimfbleak -  talk to me?  06:26, 16 July 2011 (UTC)
