New Rome, Ohio

I tagged this for POV some time ago. Apparently things really were this bad but when I requested the author to add citations he removed my tags.

Now; I am not questioning the validity of the article; it simply needs to be rewritten to sound like an encyclopedia article. --Qu e ntin Smith 11:59, 14 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

[Article author] I removed the tags because you flooded the article with them (often multiple tags in the middle of sentences) in your second attack on the article (the first had generally claimed POV without explanation out of lack of knowledge of the subject matter). A reasonable use of in-line citations would be great, but there's no need to make the text unreadable until they're added. In the interim, I added a large references section to make the article's reliance on stories by major news media outlets (that were previously available through the external links) more clear, and I pointed out on the talk page where the two statements in the article that you doubted the most were easily verified, with direct quotes from major news stories. Something else I would appreciate help with is the addition of the village's early history, as the article only documents the final decades of the now-abolished village after the corruption became widely known.
