[edit] Vandalism??

This is now marked with a "vandalism" tag. Can someone please explain why??

Vandalism is defined by Wikipedia as "any addition, deletion, or change of content made in a deliberate attempt to compromise the integrity of Wikipedia." Later, it says "If you are not sure that an edit is vandalism, always start with "test"."

We are told to be bold in updating pages[1].

So how exactly is the content of this page deliberately compromising the integrity of wikipedia. ALL of links added today look to be fair game and point to a respectable news source.

[edit] Neutrality

The article refers to the threats made to the Karch family in the wake of the cannon incident but fails to mention the support offered to the family by the Snohomish community. 71.113.20.37 04:30, 23 January 2007 (UTC)

The piece about the Karch family and the cannon is not a significant event in the history of Snohomish and does not belong in Wikipedia. I believe it should be edited out. It would be good if someone could contribute a little more factual and significant info about the history of the town. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by GeorgeDoe (talk • contribs) 04:30, 2007 January 23.

It received national attention, albeit briefly. I think it satisfies WP:N and WP:ATT. If there were more content in the article, perhaps it would be reasonable to remove it. I agree that, as written, it does not cover the support offered to the family. Walter Siegmund (talk) 17:52, 6 March 2007 (UTC)


Good work on the history section. The Karch content was removed by User:SarekOfVulcan.[2] I agree that the history section reads better now. Best wishes, Walter Siegmund (talk) 04:28, 15 August 2007 (UTC)

This doesn't read like an article, it reads like a tourist leaflet!—Preceding unsigned comment added by 164.58.59.61 (talk • contribs) 02:42, 18 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Pictures

I happen to live in the town, and if it is so desired, I know of a good vantage point from which to provide a more up-to-date picture of the town from the river. If anybody should find this a helpful addition, I will do so.

Good images with clear licenses, e.g., GFDL-self or PD-self, are always welcome. You'll need to get a username and read about uploading images. Best wishes, Walter Siegmund (talk) 05:29, 31 May 2007 (UTC)
