Talk:Fremont, Nebraska

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

NB: Clicking on the mayor link in the right-hand sidebar takes one to a list of mayors of Omaha, rather than Fremont. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.9.31.171 (talk) 17:44, 11 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Editing of Page

Several times I have posted a descriptive phrase on the main page, only to have it removed. I grew up in Fremont and for 15 years, throughout grade school, Junior High and High School we used this phrase to refer to Fremont. However, every time I have posted it here it has been removed, and then I was banned from editing the page. Now my discussion of this phrase has been removed, with no explanation given. Perhaps I do not understand how Wikipedia works, but I thought it was an open encyclopedia where everyone can edit and add information. While it may not be the most flattering description of the town, it is accurate, it is authentic, and it is something you will hear if you live there from the residents. So I ask - why is it being edited out, and why am I being blocked from putting it here? Who makes that determination? I lived there, I used the phrase and heard it in common usage constantly. Who decides that my life experience has no value here?

I just went over the Vandalism page, and I guess I would qualify as a "new" user, but at the same time, I'm trying to help describe the town as the residents see it, not just some homogenized version you could get out of a travel brochure. If that's considered vandalism, post it here and straighten me out. I won't repost that "offending" phrase until I hear back here.

The unsigned comment above is just sophisticated vandalism. I lived in Fremont, NE for 18 years and I find it strange that I have never even ONCE heard it referred to as the "Armpit of Nebraska", as the unsigned writer wrote before it was replaced. 65.191.68.151 (talk) 11:19, 19 January 2008 (UTC)
