Hello, I'm Spf121188. I noticed that you recently removed content from Indian Hills, Colorado without adequately explaining why. In the future, it would be helpful to others if you described your changes to Wikipedia with an accurate edit summary. If this was a mistake, don't worry; the removed content has been restored. If you would like to experiment, please use your sandbox. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks.

 * I put a lot of work into trying to update this information and it has been removed. Do you still have it or do I have to start over?
 * The information that was removed was obsolete and infact one of the references lead to a slanderous site Ron matson (talk) 03:26, 16 January 2023 (UTC)

 * Mr Nelson,
 * I can retype the history., however in the short term I would like to bring your attention to the existing reference #5 (see below). It leads to an inflammatory site "indianhillscolorado.com" to be specific. The gentleman that now owns the site is using it through Wikipedia as a weapon to attack the very nonprofit charged with the stewardship of Indian Hills History.
 * Please advise as to how I can remove this reference. He is using our 2008 History calendar as a back door to his site. The Indian Hills Improvement Association used to own the site "indianhillscolorado.com" it was was printed on our 2008 History Calendar. We now operate under indianhillsco.org
 * This gentleman has been attacking us for months. The Indian Hills Improvement Association, (IHIA), is NOT an HOA but rather a 501c3 nonprofit in good standing with a primary mission of promoting a sense of community and protecting our history. We are all unpaid volunteers and our time can be better spent serving the community, rather than chasing down some jerk hell bent on slandering us.
 * Again Please Advise, Thank You,
 * Ron Matson

 * @Ron matson @Philipnelson99 The only reference to indianhillscolorado.com that I see in the article is an archived link that was added on 29 Oct 2011, to support some information about the town's history. The current link is to a snapshot of that page that was taken on 22 March 2012. Are you saying that this third party owned the domain in 2012? I don't see anything on that archived page that looks obviously slanderous to me; in fact, it's very close to the text that you tried to add to the Wikipedia article today. What exactly is your objection to it? CodeTalker (talk) 05:54, 16 January 2023 (UTC)
 * Code talker,
 * Thank you for the response, if you go to reference #5 and click on the words "the original" (in blue) it will guide you to a slanderous OpEd regarding the Indian Hills Improvement Association, IHIA. As stated above IHIA is a 501c3, the stewards of the Indian Hills Community Center it's Sign, property and the History of Indian Hills. IHIA once owned the website indianhillscolorado.com, it was lost (unknown how) with information tied to it that was then manipulated by the current owner to falsely represent Indian Hills. It is owned by Denver Jewelers. I am simply trying to remove that reference. This is why I tried twice to re-enter pertinent history to Indian Hills and referenced that history to our website indianhillsco.org. Again the goal is to remove Reference #5, it is a backdoor to a rumor mill.
 * Please advice, and thank you for time into this

 * Thank you, I still see a ref to source #5 but the link does not work. I appreciate your time and effort into this matter
