Middle Schools

Shouldn't Westwood be included as a middle school, or is the area it's in not counted as part of Morgantown. They feed into University High School so I think they should be included. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Princedakkar (talk • contribs)

Sources

For as long as this article is, it cites very, very few sources. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Tynedaily (talk • contribs)

There are 18 footnotes, eight references, and several "for further reading" external links, so I don't believe that template message is appropriate. If there are specific things that aren't in the public record (such as widely available census information), then tag it with a "citation requested" ("{{Fact|July 2007}}"). --69.22.254.111 00:39, 25 July 2007 (UTC)

Medal of Honor

Yes, SENATE CONCURRENT RESOLUTION NO. 26, from West Virginia, calls it the Congressional Medal of Honor but in 32CFR578.9 and 10 U.S.C. 3741 when the United States Congress and President created the medal, they called it the Medal of Honor. The article in wikipedia is Medal of Honor, Congressional Medal of Honor is just a redirect to Medal of Honor That is why I changed the name to the official name of the medal, not the incorrect name that people, including the WV Senate, call it.

Demographics need updating

The demographics section in this article and the Morgantown metropolitan area article need to be updated to the 2010 census. Duoduoduo (talk) 15:07, 1 June 2011 (UTC)

Award

I am new to wikipedia so maybe I made a faux pas when I edited the award section. Morgantown won 2 awards in 2011. It was ranked #23 for small cities with growth and #33 in the nation for all overall growth from new geography. I cited the sources, but perhaps I did it wrong. I feel Morgantown deserves recognition for these awards. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 184.13.150.149 (talk) 18:51, 2 August 2011 (UTC)

It's quite alright — we were all new users once.

It'd be good to have other editors weigh, especially one who have worked on this article before, since I'm not sure a #23 ranking and a #33 ranking in fairly minor lists is of sufficient weight. It comes across more like boosterism than like legitimately notable awards.--Tenebrae (talk) 19:00, 2 August 2011 (UTC)

You not only removed the award I mentioned, but several that have been listed under the Morgantown award section. I dont see why you get to decide what awards are trivial and which ones are not. You say that I need to have a consensus to include an award, but you are allowed to remove several without one? I dont understand the logic. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 3TonCatInTheRoom (talk • contribs) 19:11, 2 August 2011 (UTC)

From your one edit, you appear to be a sockpuppet or meatpuppet of IP 184.13.150.149. An admin can check this easily enough, and using sockpuppetry to edit-war can get an editor blocked. If another editor removes something you like, giving good reason, then you discuss it on the talk page. You can call for an WP:RfC, mediation or arbitration. What you do not do is keep reverting. You discuss things here on the talk page. --Tenebrae (talk) 19:19, 2 August 2011 (UTC)

I would also note that 184.13.150.149 has only been editing since yesterday, that that IP and this registered name have only made edits to this one article, all boosterish in nature and seemingly violative of WP:NOTADVERTISING. Misplaced Pages is not to be used by Chambers of Commerce or city boosters to hype their municipalities, particularly with trivia "awards". The legitimate awards by established organizations remain. You appear to be a single-purpose account, and not someone legitimately interested in becoming a responsible editor of this altruistic, 💕. --19:24, 2 August 2011 (UTC)

I am 184.13.150.149. Yesterday was my first contribution to wikipedia. Today I made an account. Like I said I am new to Misplaced Pages. You say that I need to build a consensus on the discussion page before I can add an award. Fair enough, but you have deleted several awards that you found trivial without a consensus. How is what you are doing any different? I am not a member of Morgantown's board of commerce, and if they were to edit Misplaced Pages I would hope they would send in someone who knew how. I request an admin or a review to review what you have done. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 3TonCatInTheRoom (talk • contribs) 19:29, 2 August 2011 (UTC)

You don't need a consensus to remove glaring hype and trivia that violates WP:ADVERTISING and WP:UNDUE. And I gave you links, above, to several recourses, from Request for Comment to Arbitration. All editors can avail themselves of the various processes, and I urge you to do so. --Tenebrae (talk) 19:37, 2 August 2011 (UTC)

I dont feel you are neutral in this matter and have any right to remove several awards given by prestigious publications. I am in the process of trying to initiate arbitration. Please be patient because I am new at all of this.

Tenebrae I have requested a WP:RfC since I am new at this. Hopefully we can get some feedback. 3TonCatInTheRoom (talk) 20:07, 2 August 2011 (UTC)3TonCatInTheRoom

I don't know why you would say I am not "neutral in this matter", but I have to warn you that uncivil comments about other editors, such as implying that their edits are not in good faith, are frowned upon. If anything, one could say that a new user who is so remarkably, doggedly interested in adding a host of trivial "awards" may have some conflict-of-interest reason. --Tenebrae (talk) 20:19, 2 August 2011 (UTC)

Removal of Awards by Tenebrae

I am a newbie to Misplaced Pages so sorry for any mistakes. I added an award to Morgantown's award section with a reference to the website. User Tenebrae http://en.wikipedia.org/User:Tenebrae removed it along with several other awards that Morgantown has won by various publications. He told me that I need to have a consensus on the discussion before adding a new award. I agree that this is fair, but he removed several awards that he considered "trivial" and as "hype" without any discussion or consensus. Like I said I am new to wikipedia, so maybe I am in the wrong, but I feel that he should have a consensus on the discussion before removing the awards.
