"MOVIE STAR: PEGGIE CASTLE was born in Appalachia."

Is there any available data that backs up the above assertion? If not, I believe it should go away until supporting data can be cited. --Takeel21:58, 5 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Found it in IMDB. That's good enough for me, so I'll just clean it up in the article at least. --Takeel01:23, 6 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Also noted in thePeggie Castle article! Doh! --Takeel01:26, 6 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Please seeUser talk:Davins111 for a bit of discussion on the link tohttp://www.appalachiava.net/ in this article. I propose removing it and linking to the sites that are linked fromhttp://www.appalachiava.net/ instead.http://www.appalachiava.net/ appears to have little to no actual content of its own aside from links to other sites. --Takeel01:59, 25 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

It also appears that the website may belong toDavins111. See discussion about this atUser talk:Davins111. --Takeel18:32, 25 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I've removed the link. Unless it offers original content relevant to this article, it's an inappropriate link from this page.Fagstein19:16, 7 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The website:http://www.appalachiava.net, is the Town of Appalachia, Virginia's official website. That link needs to be on the Appalachia, Virginia article.—The precedingunsigned comment was added by71.171.5.72 (talk •contribs) .

Hi, there. It doesn't look like that domain is registered to the town's municipal government. Would you happen to have any evidence to back up your claim? --Takeel03:51, 14 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

To: Takeel,The website domain is not registered through the town government, but the Town manager, gave the site owner approval of that website to be the town's official, if you think this is still false I can get the town manager to write a document on that.—The precedingunsigned comment was added by71.171.5.72 (talk •contribs) .

On Wikipedia, it's important that claims areverifiable. In this case, it would probably be challenging to provide the necessary verifiability if a letter from the town manager is necessary because that would be difficult to cite. Why don't you ask the community for ideas over atthe village pump? Click here to check it out. --Takeel04:26, 14 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

For information this has already been amediation case on this subject, which ended with removing the link. I am a bit suspicious becauseUser:71.171.5.72 is not signed in but sees to be as keen on including the site as the previous user in the mediation caseUser:Davins111. It is possible that this is the same user trying again. --MarkS (talk)15:18, 14 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

My second thought on this is that the website doesn't seem to contain much of value. If the website had a wide range of information about the town then I wouldn't object to its inclusion whether it was official or not. --MarkS (talk)15:18, 14 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Hello,The town of Appalachia, Virginia just launched there new website today!

The website URL is no longer at appalachiava.net

The website address is:

http://www.townofappalachia.com (the website address may not work yet, but it will within 25 hours, since they just launched it)

You may contact the town hall... If you don't beleive this is correct.—The precedingunsigned comment was added by72.66.211.73 (talk •contribs).

Good day. I have removed the link because the linked website doesn't currently have any information other than a link to appalachiava.net. Also, for what it's worth, the burden of proof for including information in an article here typically lies with the individual or individuals propsing the inclusion. This means that if you'd like to include something, it's important that *you* ensure that it's verifiable. --Takeel23:55, 14 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Okay. I will not add the link anymore. I will not contribute to the Wikipedia website, in the futre, and neither will the town administration.

Regarding the link to Yahoo News, the story originated fromAssociated Press. This is probably areliable source, so I reverted the edit that removed this reference. I hope that nobody minds. Thanks. --Takeel05:04, 4 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The link to the Yahoo news story doesn't work me. Yahoo tells me the page cannot be found. If the news item originated fromAssociated Press then shouldn't the reference refer directly toAssociated Press rather than a (broken) derivative of the story. --MarkS (talk)08:00, 4 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the notice; I fixed the URL. --Takeel15:00, 4 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

We need to block the Appalachia, VA article, so that people that aren't users can't edit.

Thanks.—The precedingunsigned comment was added by208.19.254.226 (talk)15:14, 9 April 2007 (UTC).[reply]

Which photo is better suited for the infobox:File:Downtown Appalachia, Virginia.jpg, the established one, orFile:Appalachia downtown.jpg, which I've just uploaded?

Note to WP:3O visitor — there's no dispute here, but I requested outside input because I don't want to use my photo to replace what could reasonably be seen as a decent image. Like most articles about small towns, this has essentially no talk page activity (the last human edit was in 2013, and the last human edit that modified content, not article ratings, was just almost ten years ago. So basically I'm asking you to pick which image you like better and put it into the article. Sorry for using 3O, but{{requested edit}} didn't seem right (putting in the photo wouldn't be a WP:COI violation), and I couldn't think of anything better.Nyttend (talk)02:18, 10 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

They're both good, and they sort of complement each other. They look like they're taken from opposite ends of the same street. I like the "Appalachia" sign in the old photo, but the newer one gives a better sense of the mountains. The article is long enough that I'd put them both in with captions "Main Street looking southwest" and "Main Street looking northeast". Which one goes in the infobox doesn't make much difference.Station1 (talk)03:24, 10 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Station1, thanks for your input! It didn't occur to me to use both photos; that's clearly a better idea than using just one, so I've followed it.Nyttend (talk)04:15, 10 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
