[edit] Copyright?

I am highly concerned with the material that 24.220.28.54/Cman024 recently put in the article. It comes directly from two URLs: this one and this one. Although the article does mention that the material is taken from wahpeton.com, do other users find it troubling to see so much material copied word-for-word from an external website to this article? I know I do. --MatthewUND^(talk) 09:09, 4 February 2006 (UTC)

I agree that copying word for word should be avoided, especially to the extent it is done in this article. Because if is taken directly from the city website, I think that would tend to make it non-NPOV as well. In fact, the article does seem to lack a NPOV. Statements such as "It is a community with a future", "a city that boasts the most modern medical center in the area", and "The area is a virtual paradise for the outdoorsman and hunter" do not seem to belong in an encyclopedia article. 146.23.68.24

[edit] Jim Sturdevant

The official website says Jim Sturdevant is the mayor. Where can I add his name? CheepnisAroma (talk) 23:43, 2 May 2008 (UTC)
