Talk:Waverly, Pennsylvania

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

It is the home of Doc's Deli, a five star restaurant which serves some of the best foie gras and grilled cheese sandwiches on the East Coast. Doc?s Deli is rumored to be a portal for time travel after its basement was rented out by a group of scientists funded by the Wellington Syndicate. Patrons can go there and dine with many illustrious figures from throughout the span of time, including Socrates, Plato, John Hart Hunter, Charles Cole, and Kent Beatty.

Doc's Deli was the site of the Third Kinderhook Conference, at which Mackenzie King and Harry S. Truman discussed the humanitarian relief aid to Vietnam, a covert diplomatic mission that shifted foreign policy influence away from Adlai Stevenson.

I've removed this text from the article, but it keeps reappearing. The first part is advertising (and probably incorrect: I've found only very few hits to Doc's Deli in Waverly, much less that you would expect for a 'five star restaurant'). The rest is just... let's just say I don't believe a word of it. Eugene van der Pijll 16:24, 11 Nov 2004 (UTC)

[edit] what happened to the census facts?

Every other article on a little town has the 'bot facts about location, county, population, etc. Is there another article on this or did someone replace the basic facts with the tall tale? alteripse 04:35, 23 Nov 2004 (UTC)

Waverly is not a separate census district; there is census info at Abington Township, Lackawanna County, Pennsylvania. Unfortunately, the population data does not include the illustrious figures from throughout the span of time in Doc's Deli's basement. Eugene van der Pijll 07:41, 23 Nov 2004 (UTC)

How do you know this, since its a long way from Nederland? Or am I wrong about your location? Just curious. Even more curious about the anonymous inserter of the strange account of Doc's Diner. Has he ever spoken or left a message? Just watches silently and reverts without comment? alteripse 17:48, 23 Nov 2004 (UTC)

Found it on the Lackawanna County website, [1]. I don't know anything about the anonymous contributor. Only thing I've seen of him are a couple of edit summaries. Eugene van der Pijll 23:31, 23 Nov 2004 (UTC)

As the Mayor of Waverly and the Chairman and CEO of Doc's Deli, LLC, I would question all of your motives in changing our town's article on Wikapedia. First, I would ask each and every single one of you if you have ever traveled to the noble city of Waverly? Second, have you ever tried the grilled cheese sandwiches from Doc's Deli. If you cannot answer in the affirmative to either of these questions, than you are hardly an authority on this topic. This article was not vandalized as it was me that created this article in the first place (as is my authority as I am the democratically elected Mayor of the city of Waverly) and the language was approved by the Waverly City Council (please see the minutes from the Council's September 28th open meeting for verification).

So you can continue to change our town?s noble article and you can temporarily block me from reverting it. But you will only be doing harm to the men, woman, and children of the historic city of Waverly. It is these noble human beings whose way of life will be harmed if Doc?s Deli is shut down because no longer do travelers from across the globe go there to feast on grilled cheese and foie gras, while conversing with the greatest minds of our history. Good day to you. You can silence me but you can never silence the roaring eminence of Waverly, Pennsylvania. Thomas Wellington IV

Hey, I live in Pa and I've been to Waverly, just don't remember Doc's diner. I wasn't picking a fight, just inquiring about your article. There was no such thing as the Kinderhook conferences, there is certainly a community of Waverly, and I am undecided about Doc's. Why not restrict yourself to some facts? What else can you tell us about Waverly? Even if your stuff is madeup nonsense, it is somehow not in the same class as some of the aggravating idiots here, but what about being really informative os no one quarrels with it. alteripse 04:19, 24 Nov 2004 (UTC)

Rubbish. All rubbish. Waverly is not a city, unless it has been incorporated since the 2000 census, although I doubt it, since the county web site provided above doesn't mention it. I'll allow that there may indeed be a Doc's Deli in the community and the food there may even be pretty good. But the other stuff is either PR or fantasy or both. older≠wiser 21:43, Nov 24, 2004 (UTC)

Yes, there is a Doc's Deli in Waverly. It's a cute place, it has a 1950s kind of atmosphere, apparently. [2] Eugene van der Pijll 21:56, 24 Nov 2004 (UTC)

By the way, please note that no human beings would be actually harmed if Doc's Deli were to close. Those people around there, they're all reptilian humanoids, including mayor Thomas Wellington!!! Eugene van der Pijll 22:03, 24 Nov 2004 (UTC)

Wow, I had no idea. I feel like I've stumbled into a Twilight Zone episode where no one is who he says he is and half the characters deny the reality of the other half. And right down the road, too! alteripse 00:19, 25 Nov 2004 (UTC)

Blocked for a week. Please block other IPs that insert the same stuff or drop me a line if you cannot. silsor 00:24, Nov 25, 2004 (UTC)
