If this is a shared IP address, and you didn't make the edit, consider creating an account for yourself so you can avoid further irrelevant notices.

Stop making accusations such as you have on edit summaries for Elmore, Ohio. You attacked established information . How do I know where you lived? These changes are disruptive and will continue to be reverted as long as you make them, until either you stop making such changes, or until you are blocked. Nyttend 05:31, 14 November 2007 (UTC)

What is the definition of "land" for the Census? Do you know? After all, it says "According to the Census"; to delete this statement, you must prove that the Census doesn't really count this. I'm sure that it doesn't count a five-foot-wide puddle, and who knows but that the streams are, for some reason, not included. Therefore, do not delete this again: this is your final warning.

These threats are a little bit unnecessary. With regard to the Portage River, I have attempted numerous times to contribute accurate info, only to be repeatedly denied. If the goal of Wikipedia is to provide an accurate resource, it seems a tad bit obtuse to withold specific mention of the Portage River, dismissing it as a five-foot-wide puddle. I assure you that it is a river - not on the scale of the Nile or the Amazon - but a river none-the-less. Sugar Creek is a puddle. But just because you are better than a puddle, doesn't mean that we in Elmore should be required to dismiss it. We have the Sugar Creek Golf Course. We have the Portage River Festival. We have the Portage People 4-H Club. And, imagine... we have the Portage River and Sugar Creek and they are as important to our community if not more important than many of the other features which you willingly accept.

But if you'd rather defend a census fact that isn't true, and even change the wording from "no water" to "all land," I know you have the power to do so. Thus, you will have rendered this information both less complete and accurate than it would otherwise be. But, you will have flexed your computer superiority and the badge they gave you. Good on you.

The goal of Wikipedia is to provide an accurate, verifiable encyclopedia. I'm not at all attempting to dismiss either stream as a five-foot puddle; my point is that, if I had a permanent five-foot puddle on my property, I doubt that it would be counted. Let me say: the only reason that your latest contribution is unacceptable is that it is unreferenced. You'd do better to add a reliable source for the text. Nyttend 13:29, 16 November 2007 (UTC)

Fair enough. but on villages such as elmore, there aren't sources, other than the census (which you already know I don't agree with) that I feel you would consider reliable. Does that mean that information about these communities drawn from the lesser reliable sources which do exist will always be deemed unverifiable. If so, no information will ever be available about such places. And that's too bad.
