Two Rivers, Wisconsin
Regarding your recent edits at Two Rivers, Wisconsin, it seems this information is generally trivial, non-notable, and original research - three things we try to avoid when writing good encyclopedia articles. I've removed the additions twice now, and we want to be sure to avoid the three revert rule. Perhaps you could add some of the information in closer accordance to Wikipedia's encyclopedic standards. Thanks. --ZimZalaBim (talk) 19:28, 13 September 2006 (UTC)
 * You are in danger of violating the three-revert rule on . Please cease further reverts or you may be blocked from further editing. --ZimZalaBim (talk) 19:35, 13 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Replying to your comment on my talk page: While I feel your edits are in good faith, please keep in mind that what we are creating here is an encyclopedia, not a travel guide or website for strolls down memory lane. Also, all content must adhere to the neutral point of view policy. Thanks. --ZimZalaBim (talk) 20:31, 13 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Again, the consensus appears to be that your trivia additions are not appropriate for the article. Please do not re-insert them, but try to build consensus for their inclusion on the talk page. If you continue to revert the edits, you might be blocked from further editing. Thanks. --ZimZalaBim (talk) 14:12, 14 September 2006 (UTC)

Suggestion of things to write about in Two Rivers
I'm from Chilton, and I agree with ZimZalaBim. However, there are some things that you could do to enhance the article.
 * You could create a section on the city's claim with the ice cream sundae.
 * You could take pictures of city hall and downtown.
 * A picture of the endpoint of 310 would enhance the Highway 310 (Wisconsin) article. You could take a better picture of the beautiful high school (I did a little work there during its construction). I took that picture of the school as I was driving by, and a picture in the late afternoon on a sunny day would look a lot better.
 * You could write an article on the high school Two River High School.
 * You could research what famous people are associated with Two Rivers, like my cousin did to New Holstein, Wisconsin.
 * You could create articles on Registered National Historic Places in Manitowoc County. For a list, click here.
 * You could take pictures or update surrounding cities such as Manitowoc, Wisconsin, Mishicot, Wisconsin, Francis Creek, Wisconsin, etc, or Manitowoc County, Wisconsin.
