Talk:Elwood, Indiana

message: No one talked to anyone when the information was originally added. Again, it's political in nature and shouldn't be on Wikipedia. Who are the "editors" of this page?  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2001:558:6033:2F:57A:DE13:9C0F:E24A (talk) 22:16, 30 September 2013 (UTC)

message: Hi,
I keep trying to add my community link http://elwoodindiana.org to the elwood indiana page but it keeps disapearing. Am I doing something wrong? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Alwjordan (talk • contribs) 04:34, 18 December 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Community Website For Elwood 

message: Greetings. I am an admin here on Wikipedia and have reviewed this case. teresa@elwood.org has made no assertion that her site is the current official site of Elwood, Indiana. She makes claims of officialness via undated links and authenticity signatures. These can change. Kpaul.mallasch does make a claim of current official status as the website of Elwood. Pending any proof being provided that this status, as I have summarized, is inaccurate, the elwoodindiana.org site is the official site and should be used in the info box on the article. Both sites can be (and currently are) linked in the "External links" section. The continued disagreement being continued via reverting each other on the article itself constitutes a revert war and will not be tolerated. Both parties are encouraged to discuss the matter here, on this talk page. I will monitor for the time being. --Durin 18:59, 22 December 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Third party review 

message: I've notice that there is a lot of town history in the discussion board, but not on the actuall page. We should see if we can't ramp this up a little bit. Just out of curiosity, why isn't there any mention on Elwood Haynes page about Elwood being renamed after him before he was ever famous (10 years old)? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 192.138.48.34 (talk) 06:44, 17 April 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Town History 

message: Having family in the area, I had always been told that Elwood was the center for the KKK in Indiana and that the organization still has a strong presence there.  Indeed, of all the northern states, the KKK was notoriously strong in Indiana generally.  Yet, there is no mention of the KKK in this article.  Any particular reason?  Would very much like to find a source on this....

thread_title:  Ku Klux Klan? 

message: Theodore Bilbo made the following statement in his 1947 defense of ‘scientific’ racism, “Take Your Choice“:
“The late Wendell Wilkie, author of One World, was another of the nation-wide figures who advocated full racial equality. This position of Mr. Wilkie is especially interesting in view of the fact that he was born and reared in Elmwood [sic], Indiana, the town from which his father helped drive away every Negro, and which had signs reading "No Negroes Admitted Here" on every road leading into the city limits”
Is it so? 207.177.225.141 (talk) 05:22, 2 September 2018 (UTC)

message: Who are the editors? Who was able to add the politically charged information without talking to anyone else?   — Precedingunsigned comment added by2001:558:6033:2F:57A:DE13:9C0F:E24A(talk) 22:21, 30 September 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: Apparently you are new, so let me explain how this works.  You do not have to discuss adding information.  If you disagree with the information added, you remove it with an edit summary stating why in terms of policy, not your opinion and then start a discussion here.  I do not have an opinion on the content; indeed I could care less.  However, when somebody just up and removes properly referenced material without a discussion, I will always put it back.  So, may I suggest you give a reason based in Wikipedia policy or in the quality of the references or with references that contradict them?  Thank you. Gtwfan52 (talk) 22:31, 30 September 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: also, I am sure you have no way of knowing this, but new discussions go at the bottom of the page and you need to sign any entry to a discussion by typing four tildes (~~~~).  Thanks. Gtwfan52 (talk) 22:33, 30 September 2013 (UTC)

text: I've reverted (I hope for the last time) your edits to the article per WP:BLPCRIME. When and if some kind of conviction is secured then it would be appropriate to insert that information, however I'm not even sure that's the case since it would imply guilt by association. In any case, what there is right now is an investigation with no reliably sourced indication of enduring impact to the city, which is the subject of the article, or to the person in question. §FreeRangeFrogcroak 00:10, 1 October 2013 (UTC)
