Comments: edit  · history  · watch  · purge The best example of an article that this one should try to match currently is Lima, Ohio. Needs moe detail in pretty much each section. Eventually with work this could get to Cleveland, Ohio status. Needs book refs. Whole sections are missing citations. §hep • ¡Talk to me! 23:53, 26 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Facts about Pickerington

This section is marked under WP:NPOV, as it rightly should be. Most of it contains loaded words that is not acceptable for and encyclopedia. I'm for eliminating the section -- most of what is said in this section isn't really pertinent. Information about the schools can be moved to the school articles and cleaned up. Does anyone else that is interested in editing this article have any input? Michael Herold (talk) 22:24, 25 April 2008 (UTC)

I incorporated the pertinent information in my large update. The other sections were almost entirely composed of weasel words and should be eliminated per WP:AWW. The section as a whole read like a trivia section as well, which puts it under the WP:Trivia style guideline. If you object, please respond to the talk page.

I forgot to mention that I realize I eliminated the blurb about the Violet festival. I plan to add a section on the Violet festival when this year's festival happens. Metatinara (talk) 05:29, 26 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Greg Cole: Verification

I cannot find any verification of Mr. Cole winning the Mister Ohio competition. I cannot even find a Mister Ohio website. I'm marking this for future deletion, pending submission of verification. Metatinara (talk) 02:49, 26 April 2008 (UTC)
