[edit] Cheese in Sunnyside
Your edits about the cheese production in Sunnyside seems to be a commercial. I'm not saying you're a sock puppet or you did a dishonest edit, but it looks like that. FYI, I consider Sunnyside to be my home town (I was born in Richland which was the nearest hospital at the time) so I want to see this article to stay as clean as possible. Entries about the commercial aspects of Sunnyside are ok, but when the Commercial section basically plugs one company and one product, I have to weigh in. If your intentions are honest, keep on editing. My preference is for us to discuss the section of SUNNYSIDE COMMERCE on the Sunnyside DISCUSSION page before editing. -- A Kamiakin alum from the 60's, Quartermaster (talk) 02:29, 21 May 2008 (UTC)
- Check out the current state of the Sunnyside article. I created a new section, "Attractions and events" and put in a section on the cheese factory. Feel free to dive in and edit and expand, especially the cheese factory part. I'm having problems with developing an "economy" section, mostly because we both know Sunnyside proper doesn't have much of an economy (more properly part of the larger Yakima Valley economy). -- Quartermaster (talk) 22:56, 26 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] DYK on of WE Seal of approval program
*... that between 1970 and 1984 the WE Seal of approval program aided in an estimated $100,000 in restitution being made to collectors of comics and other memorabilia victimized by mail fraud? -- new article, self nom by Dgabbard (talk) 02:58, 30 May 2008 (UTC)

Ok, I'm new at this so pardon any error of judgment, but I'm pretty sure that a Sequential Tarts column by a Katherine Keller and this weblink of Ron Frantz's book do not comply with WP:RS. While pages and publication details from Frantz's book are provided, you will need to remove the questionable sites and bring in more reliable sources to support the hook and the overall article.

- I understand your feelings; its natural to be miffed at criticism of your hard work, but your experience in this field and subject is not what has been questioned. I am only stressing the importance of every article going up on the main page as DYK to comply with WP:RS. I said before that I could be wrong, so let's leave it to another examiner to give a more definitive opinion. Vishnava talk 17:05, 31 May 2008 (UTC)
- Just make sure that the key facts mentioned in the nomination statement (a.k.a the "hook") are cited by WP:RS-compliant sources. Then you shouldn't have any problems, Vishnava talk 17:07, 31 May 2008 (UTC)
It comes from the Frantz book, so that isn't a problem.Dgabbard (talk) 01:37, 1 June 2008 (UTC)
