Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, your addition of one or more external links to the page Camden, Ohio has been reverted. Your edit here was reverted by an automated bot that attempts to remove links which are discouraged per our external links guideline from Wikipedia. The external link you added or changed is on my list of links to remove and probably shouldn't be included in Wikipedia. I removed the following link(s): http://www.facebook.com/#!/pages/Sylvanis-Gunter-Jr/128750117143608?ref=ts/. If you were trying to insert an external link that does comply with our policies and guidelines, then please accept my creator's apologies and feel free to undo the bot's revert. However, if the link does not comply with our policies and guidelines, but your edit included other, constructive, changes to the article, feel free to make those changes again without re-adding the link. Please read Wikipedia's external links guideline for more information, and consult my list of frequently-reverted sites. For more information about me, see my FAQ page.

"Wikipedia is not the newspaper"
Sorry to have confused you by my comment. Please read this bit of policy — recent events can be appropriate to mention, but emphasis on recent events (except of course for articles on topics that only happened recently, like Belarusian presidential election, 2010, which is on the Main Page) should be avoided. Scroll up a little bit on that page, and you'll see the "Wikipedia is not a crystal ball" section. We can't include information on the basis that it will become important in the future. Yes, certain events should be included that we know will be studied in the future (e.g. if you use a source like the Eaton paper, it's always appropriate to put in the latest village election results, because local historians study who's held office), but we can't say that this water crisis will become an important event in the village's history, simply because future historians and future average residents haven't decided that yet.
