Are you an Asheville-area aspiring Wiki editor? Come visit the library & let's chat! [Citation needed] is literally my job.
Possible topics for editing
[edit]Asheville and WNC history
[edit]Charles Willing Beale, founder of Arden, appears to have a Spanish Wikipedia page (Charles Willing Beale) but not an English one. Huh!
The list of Buncombe County NRHP listings has several red links (pages to be created) including locations of African American historical significance: Shiloh African Methodist Episcopal Zion Church, South Asheville Cemetery and St. John ‘A’ Baptist Church, Walton Street Park and Pool.
Also check out some of the red links on the page for Edward W. Pearson Sr.
Surely Stephens-Lee High School could use its own entry! See East End/Valley Street Neighborhood
Asheville-Weaverville Speedway needs citations & could be expanded using these sources:
- Thunder in the Mountains: The History of Racing in Western North Carolina (Asheville: National Motorsports Marketing & Productions, [2011])
- Fielden, Greg. Rumblin' Ragtops: The history of NASCAR's fabulous convertible division and speedway division (Pinehurst, NC: Galfield Press, 1990)
- Pierce, Daniel S. Mountain Thunder: Stock Car Racing in Buncombe County 1949-1999 (Asheville: West Asheville History Project, [2003])
