[edit]Hello, I'm Magnolia677. I noticed that you added or changed content in an article, Carl Martin Bergh, but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so. You can have a look at referencing for beginners. If you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. Magnolia677 (talk) 22:39, 15 November 2023 (UTC)
- Hi. Thanks for your attentiveness. I don't see why you had to delete everything else I put on a completely separate page... things that I had cited. I put in a citation for Carl Martin Bergh's childhood residence. I don't have links for all the sources though. Thanks. Let me know if it looks ok. Arloted (talk) 16:12, 16 November 2023 (UTC)
Please do not add or change content, as you did at York, Green County, Wisconsin, without citing a reliable source. Please review the guidelines at Wikipedia:Citing sources and take this opportunity to add references to the article. Please stop your disruptive editing. If you wish to add the same content back to the article, please include a reliable source. Wikipedia does not accept original research, per WP:OR. Magnolia677 (talk) 16:13, 16 November 2023 (UTC)
- So the really long portion on that page is taken from one long article that I just cited at the end. Do I need to cite every paragraph individually? Also, the 2020 census data is already cited on the census bureau website. Whey do you keep removing that? Thanks. Arloted (talk) 16:27, 16 November 2023 (UTC)
- I included more citations. Let me know if there is anything I missed. Thanks. Arloted (talk) 16:53, 16 November 2023 (UTC)
With this edit you added:
Beginning in 1851, Norwegians began to settle in the northern and western portions of the township where the hills and valleys were more wooded and rugged. This area had been settled more sparsely by the Yankees, leaving government land for the Norwegians to purchase. The hills and valleys reminded the Norwegian of home, even if it was not a conscious factor for settling here. Many hilltops were prairie, something unusual to them, but the wooded hillsides and valleys with their curves and creeks were familiar. The land was fertile and comparably rock-free, but it was the water quality of the area that may have held the strongest draw.
The Norwegian population of York was part of the historic Norwegian Blue Mounds settlement, part of a contiguous settlement of Norwegians, connecting with Perry and Primrose in Dane County northward through Springdale, Blue Mounds, and Vermont; Moscow in Iowa County; Blanchard in Lafayette County; and Town of Adams in Green County. The Towns of York and Perry formed the most ethnically concentrated portion of this settlement. There were problems with malaria in some earlier Norwegian settlements of Muskego and the Fox River Valley in Illinois and, therefore, flat land, something already conceptually strange to Norwegians, gained a tarnished reputation through an association with swamps, unclean stagnant water, and disease. In York and the Driftless Area, the water gushed out of the hills in a constant flow of bountiful springs. The Norwegians came here with their health and comfort in mind.
To support your edit, you cited this source. Perhaps I missed it, but where is this supported at the source cited? Thank you. Magnolia677 (talk) 21:40, 16 November 2023 (UTC)
