History section - Peachtree Corners

Hi - I was not the original author of the "History" content in Peachtree Corners, GA page. However, I believe the History is accurate and have added citations, per your request, to support that content.

Would you please remove the Note saying that additional citation is needed for that section or let me know what additional citation is needed to remove that classification?

The issue with that section is that the majority of the section is supported by a single author on a single source, patch.com, which is a source of dubious reliability at best, especially for historical content dating back to the 1800s. Other than that source, everything up to the 1993 sentence is completely unsourced, which is almost the end of the third paragraph, which is about 80% of the entire section. I think it needs either a better source, or the unsourced and poorly sourced content needs to be removed entirely because it wouldn't be the first city article I've seen with a history section that was completely inaccurate. - Aoidh (talk) 10:53, 21 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Removal of advertising and puffery content

Hi - Per your request, I believe all content resembling advertising and puffery has been removed. Would you consider removing that tag at the top of the page for Peachtree Corners, GA or advise on how I can get that tag removed?

Also, please note, Leisure related content was structured following the format used for Santa Barbara, CA.

Sorry for the delayed reply. The problem is that there's still a good bit of puffery in the article, and since the article has been heavily edited by members of the Peachtree Corners Business Association, it creates a conflict of interest which shows heavily in the content of the article itself, which was (and still is) highly promotional in tone. The issue with the structure being taken from the other city's article is that the article the structure was taken from is also in need of cleanup; Wikipedia:WikiProject Cities/US Guideline gives a good overview of how the article should be structured. - Aoidh (talk) 10:44, 21 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Randy Gage article

Thanks for your assistance with the Randy Gage article. There are several reliable, secondary sourced articles about him - Entrpreneur, Inc., Success, The Chicago Tribune, and more. They were previously in the article under VIEWPOINTS since the articles were about his views on various issues. Another user removed this entire section. Thus, the notability references are now gone. You can see them in this link: http://www.randygage.com/in-the-media/

How can I work these into the article without appearing to be promotional? Do you have an example I could follow. The other user suggested I create a PUBLICATIONS section. However, since these are not his creations, I don't understand how that would work.

Also, it has now been linked to from another Wikipedia page. Can you please remove the ORPHAN note? TriJenn (talk) 15:37, 2 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
