Talk:Maple, Wisconsin

message: Having a history section on the Town of Maple, Wisconsin article is fine; but, it needs to be have citations and references. It is not censorship. I do know I decline to get into a edit war with the editor who should get an account with Wikipedia and the editor should explain the reasons on the discusssion page. Thank you-RFD (talk) 11:44, 15 January 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I deleted the history section for reasons User:Nyttend had wrote about. The history section needs ciiations/reference and a NPOV. The editor should explain his/her views on the discussion page. Thank you-RFD (talk) 12:03, 15 January 2008 (UTC)

This is what Wikipedia requires and above all please sign up for a Wikipedia account. Thank you-RFD (talk) 16:07, 15 January 2008 (UTC)

text: Thank you for your comments. I still hope you will sign up for a Wikipedia account and give Wikipedia a chance. It is require to put in citations and references, have a Neutral Point of View, and no Conflicts of Interest. I think you have some connection with the Old Brule Heritage Society especially since you mention writing a book about the towns of Brule & Maple.Thank you-RFD (talk) 15:23, 16 January 2008 (UTC)

text: I added a history section to the Town of Maple article complete with citation. It is a modest start and I hope it will help. It was when Maple was founded. I did the same thing to the Town of Brule article about when Brule was founded. Both references came from the Wisconsin State Historical Society. Thank you-RFD (talk) 01:26, 17 January 2008 (UTC)

text: Thank you for for kind remarks. I do volunteer work at my old high school with the archives and also with the alumni. Sometimes, I find mistakes of historical happenings, events that need to be corrected: of someone who died claiming to have graduated from my alma mater but who did not.I am sympathetic about your comments of "mistaken memories of old newspaper articles" and "the questions and vagaries of life". Realistically, these questions need to be resolved outside of Wikipedia. Again, thank you for your kind remarks. In friendship-RFD (talk) 12:15, 17 January 2008 (UTC)

text: PS I edited the Town of Brule, Wisconsin history section by omitting President Grant's name and using the Town of Brule's website as a temporary citation until a better citation comes along. Again many thanks-RFD (talk) 13:43, 17 January 2008 (UTC)
