message: A section on Latino history in Old Town was (probably correctly) removed.  The language seemed somewhat provocative and the reference provided might not be considered reliable, since it comes from a (former?) gang, the Young Lords.
That said Latino history in Old Town, the ethnic conflict, gangs, etc. shouldn't be smoothed over.  I'll put one link here (connected to the link removed) .  Maybe somebody could handle these topics in a somewhat less "in your face" manner.  (or maybe Orange M and myself are just getting older).

replies: text: The material that was removed had an NPOV problem. The s.p.a. (actually, an IP) inserted sections like this into history articles about a number of towns, each with Young Lords links as the source; I treated it as linkspamming. We've got to be cautious about reliable sourcing, especially with sensitive topics like this. --Orange Mike  |  Talk 16:01, 10 July 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Understood.  It would be nice if controversial topics like this could be covered in a civilized manner.  Smallbones (talk) 15:25, 11 July 2008 (UTC)

message: I read the article labeled "Chicago Reader Article about Gentrification in Old Town" and it seemed a bit off topic.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Scroblachoir (talk • contribs) 05:55, 27 May 2010 (UTC)
