[edit] Clumsy text

Lake Placid was the first village/town/city in North America to host two Olympics.

I'm not sure what the wikipediacally correct text should be, but it should be fixed. Andjam 08:28, 17 November 2005 (UTC)

It ought to just say "location", I think. I'll do it now.--Sean|Black 09:01, 17 November 2005 (UTC)

• This page is becoming a bit disorganized. Some material not really related to Lake Placid has crept into the article. Headers contain material that should be located elsewhere. With all the notable people associated with the village, it might be advisable to place them under one heading. Stepp-Wulf 02:22, 12 February 2007 (UTC).

[edit] What Lake Placid is not, and what Wikipedia is not

I have moved a lot of material that was in this article to other articles where it belongs.

Please note: Lake Placid is not the site of Whiteface Mountain, nor are the High Peaks in Lake Placid, nor is Santa's Workshop in Lake Placid. Information pertinent to places and things outside of Lake Placid belongs in separate articles. This article should not be a catch-all for all things Adirondiacal, even if it is the place most people are familiar with.

Also, Wikipedia is not a travel magazine, it is an encyclopedia; there is a difference, both in appropriate content and writing style. Mwanner | Talk 01:39, 30 October 2007 (UTC)
