Talk:Detroit Lakes, Minnesota

message: Why is elaborating on this tourist town's tourist shopping, lodging, entertainment, etc... opportunities advertising? I have no interest in a particular business in the area. Rather, I am simply trying to help interested inquirers learn more about this great city. unsigned message by User:Kingkoin
:Because it is not neutral, impartial information, but boosterism, as your own words ("this great city") prove. --Orange Mike 18:40, 22 April 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Re-write it into an article suitable for an encyclopedia rather than a Tourist Guide. Mercilessly trim the boosterism, peacock words, etc., in favor of impartial information about history, business, government, industry, etc., in proper proportion. The present version is blatantly tourism-oriented and not at all impartial. --Orange Mike 03:20, 23 April 2007 (UTC)

thread_title: Advert (April 22, 2007)

message: I suggest we go to heck with Googling "Detroit Lakes, Minnesota". There are mostly tourist-geared sites, which User:Kingkoin undoubtedly used as sources to do nothing but advertise for the city. However, the Becker County Historical Society might help, as will the city of Detroit Lakes webpage, which has good information on government, history, schools, churches, etc. The page is one of the only sites about Detroit Lakes, Minnesota that provides neutral, encyclopedia-worthy information that I have found.

replies: text: Agreed, Umtc2011. In fact, I am concerned Kingkoin may be connected to the King Koin chain of laundromats in the area, including in Detroit Lakes, and possibly having a vested interest in business listings in the article. mitcho/芳貴 19:14, 24 April 2007 (UTC)
