Editing

[edit]

I am Joe Polisena's son, I wrote this article, I acknowledge that I have a potential conflict of interest, but I have done my best to stay neutral. Jpolisena (talk) 20:22, 16 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for being transparent about this. You did a good job. The article was in fact neutrally written, and your father clearly meets Wikipedia's notability requirements for an article. I have done a substantial rewrite to add references and bring the article into Wikipedia style. In the future, in accordance with Wikipedia's conflict of interest policy, it would be better for you not to directly edit the article yourself. Instead, if you feel there is something that needs to be added, you can post a request here on the talk page and let a neutral editor add it. If you get no response to such a request, feel free to ask on my talk page. --MelanieN (talk) 17:05, 23 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
By the way, if you're looking for another Wikipedia project, and one where you don't have any COI: I just took a look at the article about Johnston, Rhode Island and was appalled to see that the article has no "history" section. The town is older than the United States, it must have a fascinating history! You might consider adding a history section to this article - or recruiting someone local to do so. Let me know if you do, I'd like to see it. --MelanieN (talk) 17:46, 23 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Polisena term ended

[edit]

I'm not a great editor so I'll leave it up to professionals but Polisena is no longer mayor and his son Polisena Jr. took office so if you wanna maybe get on that soon that'd be cool. I am a resident btw which is how I know this stuff 2600:1000:B149:BD23:65BE:D787:54AE:44E (talk) 22:07, 15 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
