Please do not add original research or novel syntheses of published material to articles. Please cite a reliable source for all of your contributions. Thank you. Baane247 (talk) 18:20, 24 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Baane247: & @Pemilligan: Updated to remove controversial wording. Left sentence about local reaction, and statements from county commissioners - it's important that the local reaction be noted (which I've done factually and with citation of their actual statement via YouTube.) I also updated with an excerpt from Buckle's retraction letter- with citation.

@Bathhousefan69:

Isn't citing their actual statement via YouTube a primary source problem? Shouldn't this be done with secondary and tertiary sources?
Why revert my correcting the spelling of McKay's name in the lead?
Why delete information about McKay's business and previous offices that was there before you added this new material?
I've restored my correction that the letters were sent just to West Virginia officials, not to Maryland officials, per the source you used.
I've removed the excessive quote from the Buckel article and summarized it. It was ridiculous to have over half the article be a quote from the subject on this one issue.
