Much of this article can be simplified into the sidebar with general comparisons of city information. Things that should be added, though, are:

• Infrastructure / information about transportation and public services.
• History is a very important aspect of Chillicothe and must be described here in detail.
• Subdivisions of history by century, by example, would better organize the information.
• Landmarks, sports, performing arts, media, and economy should be described.

• I think it would be best/fair to all if the article fully discussed the fact that Camp Sherman was built on the Site of the Hopewell Culture National Park and that most of the burial mounds were destroyed during that period and later "reconstructed" as we see today. Terrible choice by government! Mike Sharp 07-03-07

[edit] History

I've noticed that User:Iepeulas had posted a copyright violation template under the history section of the Chillicothe, Ohio article. So what's going on here with this?---OHWiki 04:57, 20 October 2007 (UTC)

It appears that the section of Chillicothe history was copied nearly word for word from a history written by Pat Medert and put onto the Wikipedia page for Chillicothe on Oct 1, 2004. Even though it was referenced, Wikipedia (and evidently the copyright laws) prohibit doing this without either the author agreeing to release the text under a license that will allow it to be published freely (the GNU Free Document License) or a similar license. Unless Pat Medert does this, the text will be removed by the Wikipedia admins until this authorization is provided. I guess someone may want to contact Pat and see if this is possible...?

That dummy, they did copy all of this history information from another website, what the heck were they thanking. This is going back three years ago when the history information was inserted.---OHWiki 17:30, 20 October 2007 (UTC)

It's obvious when the copyvio text was added. Why can't we just delete it and forget about waiting for an administrator? Nyttend 12:44, 21 October 2007 (UTC)

Ok, all done!---OHWiki 21:54, 21 October 2007 (UTC)

I restored the information on history prior to October 1, 2004.---OHWiki 21:59, 21 October 2007 (UTC)
