Talk:Newton, Iowa

message: Removed "notable native" reference to Benjamin Stove which according to a Des Moines Register article  appears to be the creation of one blogger and is his attempt to generate publicity.  In fact, the link removed went to that blogger's website.  Reference to this fictional character from one man's blog does not seem in keeping with the Wiki intent of encyclopedia.

message: Anonymous user (147.155.4.113) removed all text regarding the 1983 strike without explanation.  The 1938 strike is documented in Wiki article for Newton with a link to Time Magazine's original story. Perhaps the section could be written better or expanded but it seems like a significant event in the history of the town.  Let's discuss this issue further before removing the complete reference to the event.

message: There is a picture of a sculpture of a rabbit under which there is a statement that it is dedicated to the memory of Ann Krumm.  No-where is there any indication of who ann Krumm was.  This is not good style. Kdammers (talk) 08:18, 2 October 2011 (UTC)
