[edit]
Please do not introduce incorrect information into articles, as you did to George Papadopoulos. Your edits could be interpreted as vandalism and have been reverted. If you believe the information you added was correct, please cite references or sources or discuss the changes on the article's talk page before making them again. If you would like to experiment, use the sandbox. Thank you. Dolotta (talk) 22:32, 24 April 2020 (UTC)
Please do not add promotional material to Wikipedia, as you did to Lake Mills, Wisconsin. While objective prose about beliefs, organisations, people, products or services is acceptable, Wikipedia is not a vehicle for soapboxing, advertising or promotion. Thank you. --Orange Mike | Talk 02:08, 25 April 2020 (UTC)
- @OrangeMike, that wasn't promotional, but actually facts. Don't change things you don't know anything about.— Preceding unsigned comment added by LukastheWisconsinite (talk • contribs)
- You put in mention of having a McDonald's in town, as if that belongs in an encyclopedia! You mention two non-notable bands, one with a link to their own Facebook page and one without even that much. None of this is appropriate for an encyclopedia article, and the band stuff looks like you're trying to promote obscure local musicians. --Orange Mike | Talk 16:48, 25 April 2020 (UTC)
- I have, however, put in information about the local schools. That, I will readily concede, should have been there all along. I'm sorry that there are not currently articles about either of the local high schools. --Orange Mike | Talk 17:01, 25 April 2020 (UTC)

Regardless, I still can beef up my town's page. You shouldn't be policing that, as you don't live there. Thanks for keeping the schools. BTW, your economy edits still aren't accurate. LukastheWisconsinite (talk) 02:23, 26 April 2020 (UTC)
