Out-of-context changes

If you have concerns about my addition to this page, please allow this place to be where we may discuss the problem you are having with my revision. I have better things to do than keep correcting this article but I have to since you continually undo my change. What I have written is a fact and it is relevant to the town of Rexburg. That should make the addition of this information fall within the guidelines of Wikipedia's rules for editing pages.

Please help me understand why you aren't letting my edit stand.

Thanks, I Teach Your Children —Preceding unsigned comment added by I Teach Your Children (talk • contribs) 14 January 2009

I've reverted the anon edits again. While I think your addition could stand to be rewritten, it is properly referenced and doesn't warrant blatant removal without discussion.

Edit request from Mhunwiki, 8 February 2011

{{edit semi-protected}} Please change "News websites on the internet ran stories featuring video of the school buses on which students chanted their wishes that the president-elect be killed" to "News websites on the internet ran stories featuring video of district school buses."

I was as disgusted by the event alluded to above as any Rexburg resident may have been. I respectfully submit, however, that the extant statement above contains editorial content which is not verifiable. I don't know that the sentence is even necessary, but if it is, I would suggest a more factual rendering, such as, "News websites on the internet ran stories featuring video of district school buses." This is more accurate because (1) there is no evidence that the chanting occurred on more than one bus; (2) there is no evidence that any of the buses on the video was THE bus on which the chanting took place; (3) there is no evidence that the students "wished" that then President-elect Obama be killed: the original text is a surmise about the students' mental states, which is not factual--it is just as likely that the students mindlessly took up the chant, as children are wont to do, without understanding the implications of what they were saying or even knowing what "assassinate" means, as is clear and verifiable from the news stories (e.g., Dr. Whoolery's children asking what it meant).

Thank you for considering this change.

External links

I removed the external links for the The Scroll and the Standard-Journal per the guidelines at WP:EL and more specifically at WP:USCITY#External links: "Providing links to every commercial, educational, or other entity within the city is not appropriate for this section. Information about such entities should actually be written into the article, with links to Wikipedia articles on notable entities." In this case, the Media section needs to be sourced, so adding links for citations would be more than appropriate. The local newspaper is not an "official" website or arm of the city, it is a commercial entity that happens to be located in the city. Eventually an article should be written about the newspaper itself, or at least more info in this article. Having taken a city article through WP:FAC recently, they are pretty stringent about external links. --JonRidinger (talk) 23:25, 14 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I'm fine with that, mostly. I'm not as familiar with the USCITY end of things. tedder (talk) 23:27, 14 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Topix

What is Topix? And why is it listed as a local Newspaper? Explore Rexburg and The Ennui Project both produce digital news content in regards to Rexburg and should be listed as such. Jordanhenrie (talk) 21:50, 30 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
