message: Someone changed the population to 234,000. I reverted it back to the 2009 census estimate of 4,134.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.196.160.175 (talk) 15:17, 10 January 2011 (UTC)

replies: text: Thank you! I would try to make some of the changes myself, but I suspect that Cresix or another editor might delete them since I'm not a registered Wiki user/editor. It would probably be best for an experienced, registered editor like yourself to do it. You've already done a great job monitoring/editing the Wilkes-related articles! I grew up in North Wilkesboro (don't live there anymore), and it was a great little town at the time (now that nearly all of the factories have closed it's gotten worse, imo). However, this article really does read as if the town's PR person wrote most of it, and it's far too promotional to be an objective encyclopedia-format article. Good Luck!  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.145.229.162 (talk) 03:10, 28 August 2012 (UTC)
thread_title: Population

message: The article includes a long paragraph about Wilkes Community College, yet the college is located in Wilkesboro, not North Wilkesboro, and thus shouldn't be featured in the article. Also, no mention is made of the elementary and middle schools that serve the town. I have deleted the Wilkes Community College article (for the reasons listed above) and included the more relevant elementary and middle school information.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 192.154.64.244 (talk) 18:24, 10 May 2012 (UTC)
thread_title: Incorrect Educational Information?

message: This article has recently been greatly expanded to include, in my opinion, a great deal of information that is more typical of advertising or personal promotion than is fitting for an encyclopedia article. Wikipedia articles are required to be "neutral", but currently this article features many sentences and words which openly promote the town and sound like something from the town's public-relations office. I would respectfully suggest that the article be revised/edited into a more neutral, encyclopedia-style format. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.145.229.162 (talk) 01:56, 29 August 2010 (UTC)

thread_title: Encyclopedia Article vs. Advertising

message: As noted before, this article seems quite biased as if it were written by a marketing firm.  The most blatant seems to be section on healthcare which until I changed it was entitled "Affordable Healthcare".  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Freber1977 (talk • contribs) 02:07, 26 November 2013 (UTC)
