I opened this talk page for Zealand, New Brunswick, in the hopes of establishing cooperation with the proper structuring of this article. Recent reverting has violated Wiki policy of “verifiability, not truth”.

The policy reads: “One of the keys to writing good encyclopedia articles is to understand that they must refer only to facts, assertions, theories, ideas, claims, opinions, and arguments that have already been published by reputable publishers. The goal of Wikipedia is to become a complete and reliable encyclopedia. Editors should cite reliable sources so that their edits may be verified by readers and other editors.”

To this end I suggest we rebuild the article citing sources with numbered footnotes, keeping in mind that Wikipedia is not a place for expressing personal opinions. I look forward to working with everyone. Fiddlehead 12:40, 10 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Dear Fiddlehead — The use of a flock of numbered footnotes is a bit disconcerting. One could also put the source right into the text, as I have done in the Inglewood, California article. There are many ways of sourcing an article. Sincerely, GeorgeLouis 22:30, 17 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

When performing cleanup on this article I noticed some SHOUTING. Shouting is anytime someone puts words in all caps in order to draw attention to their statement. Shouting should be avoided. Also, I noticed sentences such as, “This is also very well documented and fact.” Cited sources should be used in place of this sentence. As a courtesy to future editors please check your spelling. This article is riddled with spelling errors. Finally, in the spirit of working together, please read previous edit comments to see why your edit was modified and always leave edit comments of your own. Thanks.

I didn't notice any shouting in the edit comments. Can you provide a link to what you are talking about? Was the shouting actually included within the body of the article? Just wondering. GeorgeLouis 22:30, 17 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, the shouting is in the body of the article. This is the link you requested. http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Zealand%2C_New_Brunswick&oldid=82129472 Fiddlehead 05:26, 18 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
