Talk:Cambridge, Illinois

message: Although, yes, this does sound like a nice small town, the main article really needs a big cleanup.  There doesn't need to be separate sections for Grade School Principals and High School Principals.  Is the "Rabbit King" stuff true?  I don't think the "Mr. Michael McAvoy" section should be there at all.   Compare this article to other wikipedia articles about towns in the same general region and try to put the same things & references in.  If you're wondering why I don't edit the article, well...I don't live there.  This article really needs a Cambridge expert  to clean it up.  See also WP:STYLE as a good starting point.

message: Wikipedia requires reliable sources to be cited such as newspapers, books, reliable websites etc. Please cite new additions to the article, saying I saw it or I've lived here all my life, etc doesn't help the reliability of the project since no one can verify if the information is true or if it is a copyright violation. There is also the issue of notability, and content. Wikipedia is not the yellow pages. There is no need to list every church's phone number and the location of local Golf Courses. There is also no need to list principals and favorite teachers since principals and superintendents come and go and are not particularly noteworthy outside of the school itself. Cruising, etc is also not encyclopedic, every place that has teens and cars has a cruising strip. The stolen courthouse story and rabbit king story both need reliable sources to remain here. The rest of the removed text sounds like opinion. We need to remember that this is an encyclopedia, and content here should look like an encyclopedia article not a tourism guide or list of local folklore or rumors. If you are from the area, take some pictures of the notable items in town, and write about those items as long as they are important parts of the town. Main street, the park, fairgrounds, city hall, local landmarks or registered historic items. Upload pictures taken by you, that you own, and are willing to donate to the project. See Wikipedia:Uploading images and Wikipedia:Image use policy. It may also help to read Wikipedia:Policies and guidelines. Also, Good Articles listed under "Geography and places" on the  Good Article page is where you can look to find good city articles to replicate. Thank you. --Dual Freq 00:19, 22 February 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I've added some sample references and noted the historical status of the courthouse. It would be nice if someone uploaded a photo of the courthouse, maybe from college square park. --Dual Freq 00:57, 23 February 2007 (UTC)

Why are there so many misspellings and stuff in the article?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.242.139.41 (talk) 19:38, 8 September 2010 (UTC)
