Masthope
Article reads like a travel guide, and Wikipedia articles are not travel guides. Kyra 05:59, 1 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Merge to Lackawaxen which already has a good article. Current article is just an ad.    Dl yo ns 493   Ta lk  11:44, 1 September 2006 (UTC)

Freedom of Information without Malice

This Masthope page contains information about a community within the geographic boundries of Lackawaxen Township and is relevent to information about Lackawaxen which was not included in the original web site article. It adds knowledge about the geographic features and amenities of Lackawaxen, Pennsylvania.

Ski Big Bear is important to the economy and tourism of the region. Furthermore the article adds other relevant information about the region not discussed in the original article such as the Lincoln flag at Milford. It has value as an addition to the original article not considered by the original author. It does not in any way detract from the original article. It adds to the wealth of information. It is not written as an ad for Masthope. If need be the Masthope article can be re-written in order to bring it more in line with the standards of Wikipedia. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Snake Oil Sam (talk • contribs)

It was written in Comic Sans because I Snake Oil Sam like Comic Sans and like to publish in Comic Sans. I did not understand that it was a sin among the elite of Wikipedia to work in any other than the approved format. Please forgive me for my transgressions. I guess that I am just not up to speed within the cult of Wikipedia.
 * Delete. Advert / travel guide stuff. Font vanity suggests a copyvio. -- RHaworth 10:12, 12 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete - reads like an advertisement and may well have been intended as one. Also uses non-standard mark-up and font. BTLizard 12:48, 12 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete advert. Danny Lilithborne 16:50, 12 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete and put what actual verifiable information can be salvaged from this ad in Lackawaxen, Pennsylvania. Snake Oil Sam, if it's not an ad, why was it written in Comic Sans? If it "adds to the wealth of information" about Lackawaxen, and sincerely wasn't meant to be an ad, the information can simply be put in that article.–♥ «Charles A. L.» 17:44, 12 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete Deed restricted commuinties are not notable. Wikipedia is not free advertising. :) Dlohcierekim 23:40, 13 September 2006 (UTC)

As far as putting information into the original article I thought that it was better to link to a separate article that I wrote rather than mess with the hard work of someone else. But what do I know I am new around here. Like I said before I can write it to fit your agenda if that would make a difference. Obviously I still have a lot to learn. Snake Oil Sam :-(


 * Delete per Charles A. L. I'm sure there's some verifiable information that can be salvaged from this. TCC (talk) (contribs) 05:01, 16 September 2006 (UTC)
