Whitehea has made several attempts to completely delete the section on Police scandal and disbanding without discussion or explanation. This started out as a "removed political input" on the May 28th edit. After this edit, I undid the deletion with the request that in the future the user discuss this on the talk page prior to deleting entire sections of the article. On June 17th, the user then renamed the section "transportation" and deleted all 6 national news citations to the Taman inquiry as well as most of the content and labelled the edit as "added transportation section". Please make accurate edit summaries as per Wikipedia edit summmary guidelines and please discuss your rationale for deletion/major changes on the talk pages first.
Second issue. Whitehea continues to remove the citation needed tags without explanation. Citation needed tags should not be removed unless a citation is being inserted or there is concensus on the talk page that it is not required. Please see the Citation needed help page for more information.
Third issue. Whitehea continues to reword parts of the article to make it sound more like an advertisement or tourism brochure and less like an objective encyclopedia article. Please review Wikipedia's Neutral Point of View guidelines and the article What Wikipedia is not.
To Whitehea or anyone else who wishes to make sweeping changes. I am not against improving the article and adding facts. I would ask that as a courtesy, you make your rationale known first on this talk page prior to moving ahead. Thanks. Dig Deeper ( talk) 16:32, 20 June 2016 (UTC)
I believe the incident involving the unprecedented disbanding of a local police station and the nation-wide coverage given to the situation merits discussion on this article. If you feel differently, please discuss your views below. Any deletions made without discussion on this talk page will be reverted. Dig Deeper ( talk) 01:14, 21 June 2016 (UTC)
As was discussed above, I added "policing" and brought back the Taman inquiry information. I also deleted transportation section. Transportation and construction updates are usually not mentioned in articles about towns. I also rearranged the paragraphs in Geography section and deleted or toned-down some advertising-like phrases. As discussed above, we're really trying to get NPOV. Moved detailed geography information from the intro into the Geography section. The intro was quite cluttered with excess detail. Deleted "Some of the most expensive real estate in Manitoba is now located in these areas, especially near or along the Red River. " This really sounds like advertising more than a relevant NPOV encyclopedia fact. Also changed intro sentence "The population of East St. Paul increased by 313 persons (up 3.6%) between 2006 and 2011" which is redundant (being displayed in the infobox to the immediate right), to "The growth of East St. Paul has slowed in recent years" 3.6% is quite a small amount of population growth compared to 46% or 19% it has seen in the past. Lastly I deleted "The municipality is growing with new subdivisions increasing both population and business. " this is a vague statement that could be said of most communities and sounds more like advertising than a NPOV encyclopedia entry. If any of these edits are a concern, let's discuss it.
