Howdie, thank you for working on the Ornung article. Wanted to point out the two citations just added weren't the best, though. I added short descriptions for each so they'd show up with titles in the references section. They were:
The senior project report, if you click around that site, has a bibliography. Perhaps the list of rules could be found in one of those sources? and the David Yoder site is appears to be an anti-amish web site, and fails as a neutral, third-party source. He titles the cited page "control". it also lacks verifiability without specific citations. Could you hunt for more neutral, third-party scholarly sources for the article? Again, thank you for working on the article. Sorry to nitpick. But I noticed they weren't the best and wanted to ask your help in finding better ones. Thanks again! - Owlmonkey ( talk) 08:04, 15 January 2008 (UTC)
Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, adding content without
citing a
reliable source, as you did to
Colfax Township, Dallas County, Iowa, is not consistent with our policy of
verifiability. Take a look at the
welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. If you are familiar with
Wikipedia:Citing sources, please take this opportunity to add references to the article. Thank you.

--Rabbit Runner - Those who dance, appear insane to those who do not hear the music. 15:22, 19 June 2008 (UTC)This particular item is verifiable because I grew up there, I went to that church, I now the policies of the church and the agreement they have with the township. Can I cite myself as a source, or must it be a written source? That's the question, because the information I presented is absolutely factual.--Rabbit Runner - Those who dance, appear insane to those who do not hear the music. 15:22, 19 June 2008 (UTC)
Okay, I'll allow part of what you say, but not all. First, the church is "Panther Creek Church of the Brethren". It is NOT Church of the United Brethren. The original posting is incorrect. Here is the website for the church... http://www.panthercreekchurch.org. Next, the location of the church, AND the cemetery is 1/2 mile south of Highway 44. That much can be verified by a Google map. Check it out. Put this phrase in a map search..."panther creek church of the brethren adel iowa" The church sits next to the township road and the cemetery sits connected to the far end of the church property. My father is buried there, my grandparents on both sides of the family are buried there. I have uncles, aunts, cousins, and friends interned there. I have a boatload of friends who still attend services in that church. My mother worked in the church office until her health failed. I have sat through numerous church council meetings and issues/questions were brought up on several occasions about the cemetery. I'm familiar with the policies and connection that the church has with the township. The church is acting as trustees for the township concerning the cemetery. Nyttend, if you want to change the part about trusteeship relationship between the church and the cemetery, then go ahead and change it. But I won't, because I know it is factual. About the other two items above, don't remove them because they are factual and can be verified online. Here is a Nyttend quote from his talk page. "Simply put, if you don't know, please refrain from reverting an edit by someone who does."--Rabbit Runner - Those who dance, appear insane to those who do not hear the music. 00:09, 20 June 2008 (UTC)

Copyright laws and regulations say that we may not copy text someone else wrote. Of course, fair use restricts copyright, so that we can use small bits of text, but by quoting the plaque and taking several almost complete paragraphs from the Pearson book, you're using far more than necessary. Nyttend ( talk) 13:20, 17 October 2008 (UTC)
[unindenting] Wikipedia's fair use guidelines, however, also say that we're not allowed to use portions of copyrighted text when other bits can suffice. Even if the legal limits permit what you gave, our policies do not. Nyttend ( talk) 20:42, 17 October 2008 (UTC)
