Seth,

As the Town Clerk of the Town of Timnath, Colorado I did, indeed, remove portions of text from the article on Timnath, Colorado. I'm happy to hear from you, as the history of the article indicates you are responsible for most/all of the information edited by myself.

I'm happy to provide an explanation for my edits:

DUPLICATIONS:

  • "approximately one-half mile east of Harmony Road/Interstate 25 interchange" - twice
  • "on a small bluff east of the Cache la Poudre River" - twice
  • "surrounding farmlands have been used primarily for . . ." - twice
  • "Most residences are one-family" - twice
  • Location is given in no less than three places: introductory paragraph, description, and geography. Once is adequate.

ERRORS:

  • Union Pacific Railroad has not/does not run through Timnath -- the Great Western Railroad currently does, purchased from former owner Burlington Northern.
  • There is not a sheet metal manufacturing facility in Timnath
  • The mayor was elected in 2004 versus 2006
  • "as of November 2005, the post is vacant" (re: Town Administrator) -- incorrect
  • "one street parallel to Main Street" -- incorrect
  • Typographical error under "Government" -- "in which 58 of the towns 145 registered votes (should be "voters") participated"
  • "In 2005, the town trustees authorized consideration of becoming a home rule municipality" -- incorrect, registered voters of Timnath authorized consideration of becoming a home rule municipality in the April 2006 municipal election

EX PARTE COMMENTS:

  • "Board of Trustees refused to renew the liquor license"
  • "current controversy with the county"
  • City of Fort Collins separator

It is my assumption that it "is generally not considered good form on Wikipedia" to provide inaccurate and biased information. Thus, my edits.

If you have any further questions, please don't hesitate to contact me at Timnath Town Hall. Better yet, at best, we're a fifteen-minute drive from your Fort Collins location. Please come visit us to receive accurate information first hand. Town Hall is located at 4100 Main Street. We look forward to meeting you.
