[edit] mayor's project
According to this news report, the mayor and some volunteers are writing an entry for this town and "The work will be posted in August." If anyone part of this project is watching this page, you are very welcome. If you are looking to make the article truly good, please take a look at our featured articles.
However, I have a couple of concerns after reading this report. Please note that new content should add to existing content, rather than replace it, which is a concern when you are working offline and new information is being added in the meantime. Also, the mayor states, "I was thinking with my chamber of commerce hat and decided that we needed to take charge of our entry". Note that nobody owns an article and that attempts "freeze" articles are a violation of Wikipedia policy. I strongly advise the contributors of this initiative, if they have not already, to create accounts and familiarize yourself with some of the basic policies and guidelines of the website in order to avoid misunderstandings in the future. Please feel free to contact me on my user talk page if you have any questions. Thank you and welcome to the wiki, BanyanTree 20:15, 20 May 2006 (UTC)
- Yes, welcome Limanians! It's great and admirable that you want to expand the information available online about your fine city. Just please keep in mind to write in the style of a neutral encyclopedic article, rather than a chamber of commerce pamphlet. Thanks for your help in building Wikipedia!--Pharos 21:18, 22 May 2006 (UTC)

- Greetings all, David S. Adams left the following note on my user talk:
- Greetings Banyan Tree and associates. Thanks for your guidance as we (there are 12 of us) posted several new sections in the "Lima, Ohio" article. Please direct us to appropriate Wikipedia guidelines and keep us from embarrassing ourselves. We wish to be well behaved Wikipedia contributors. Thanks. --David S. Adams 00:28, 1 August 2006 (UTC)
- I replied on David's talk and noted that he could bring up any discussion he wishes on this talk. Cheers, BT 02:01, 1 August 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Native Americans
I really object to this section. I could list many reasons why, but the reason most applicable to this article is that the Shawnee didn't have a whole lot to do with the city of Lima proper (as opposed to nearby cities such as Bellefontaine and Wapakoneta). Therefore, I'm going to be bold and remove this section. The information in it would be better suited for other articles. -- SwissCelt 03:01, 29 July 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Wikification
I took the liberty of wikifying this page and removed the related template. Glad to see that my hometown has a decent page. --Dpryan 02:20, 27 September 2006 (UTC)
