Peer review exists for reviewers to make suggestions, not alterations Magnolia677; it is up to the editor who put the article up for review to either make changes or otherwise respond to the suggestions if they feel no changes should be made. There are users on Wikipedia who only do peer review (or GA review or FA review). If you are unfamiliar with the process, then I suggest you check other articles that have been peer reviewed before you go about doing this. I invited you here as a friendly gesture to participate in this process, not to gut another article. Don't start another edit war.
Also, I have always had a separate section of Harvard referenced sources (books) apart from the reflist. Why did you remove this? And, I am curious to know what your personal definition of a ghost town is since there is no consensual definition as I pointed out to you on your personal talk page.

This excerpt below was part of the history section of the article before clean up. I'm of the mind that it's important to include indigenous history to US places, including ghost towns or small settlements for historical context. I was unable to verify the citations, and I'm hoping someone watching this article might have access to library sources to check, and that some of the content might be useable if there is consensus for that.
The ancient inhabitants of Washington County, generally known as the
Mound Builders, left numerous traces of their existence in the county and in the vicinity of Withrow. Whether the Mound Builders were of the same race as other indigenous peoples is a subject of debate, but it is evident that their mode of life was different from the great majority of
Native Americans existing in the United States at the time of white settlement.
[1] The
Dakota and
Ojibwe people inhabited the area when the first white people arrived during the late 1600s and early 1700s. The
Mdewakanton Sioux, one of the tribes of the Sioux nation, inhabited the area of Washington County around Withrow; this tribe was divided into several smaller bands, each with its own chiefs, including the locally familiar names
Little Crow,
Wabasha, and
Shakopee.

I had to remove the second paragraph moved here because it was either copyright violation, or so closely paraphrased to the two archived sources, that it should not be added back. It's still in history, tho. Netherzone ( talk) 16:05, 9 February 2023 (UTC)
