thread_title:  Important Notes Before Editing This Article 

message: Whoever wrote this article is obviously allied to the side of the city counsel that lost the recent recall election. El Dorado is actually a decent place to live and through a lot of changes the old downtown core is still vibrant. Every community has issues, but I don't think crying about an election loss on the commentary pages of this article are appropriate - this discussion board is supposed to be about the accuracy and objectivity of the article. I did remove an added sentance at the end that (I think) the author of the above rant inserted. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Resume hut (talk • contribs) 
:Yes, I agree--this isn't the place for political debate.  However, a lot of those comments could be true and could be "encyclopedic" in nature... that is, if they were sourced and verifiable.  Good job removing.  Anyone got valid comments to enter?  Give a source and post it!--Paul McDonald 14:26, 25 September 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Not a proper setting for political debate 

message: I noticed that BTK serial killer Dennis Rader has been included in the "Notable people" section of this article although his only apparent connection to the city is his incarceration in the nearby El Dorado Correctional Facility. Due to the potential for controversy, I think a discussion is warranted before removing him from the list, but as a matter of Wikipedia precedent, I previously participated in discussions at Talk:List of people from Springfield, Missouri and Talk:Springfield, Missouri regarding the inclusion of United States Medical Center for Federal Prisoners inmates on those pages in which it was decided that they should not be included unless they have some other connection to the city. --TommyBoy (talk) 06:19, 18 August 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: Upon further reading of the Dennis Rader article, I have determined that he attended Butler County Community College in El Dorado, although that info has been tagged as "citation needed". If a source can be cited for his attendance at the college, I would be willing to withdraw my objection to including him in this article, but in the spirit of collaberation, I would still like to hear from my fellow Wikipedians on this issue. --TommyBoy (talk) 11:37, 19 August 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: The book, Bind, Torture, Kill: The Inside Story of BTK, the Serial Killer Next Door, mentions Butler County Community College on page 37. If you find this to be a reliable source then you can use it, if not that is fine. I am not that interested in domestic articles. --Kansas Bear (talk) 17:38, 19 August 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: I have updated the Dennis Rader article using the source quoted by User:Kansas Bear and withdraw my objection to him being included in the "Notable people" section of this article. --TommyBoy (talk) 20:52, 19 August 2011 (UTC)
