A NOTE REGARDING REVERSION TO PREVIOUS EDIT: I have undone the changes that were made December 5-6, 2012, because they eliminate much information (history, timeline, etc.) about the library without giving any reason for it, much less any good reason. I'm assuming that the user who did it, "PCPL," is an employee of Pima County Public Library (PCPL). If so, you should know that a Wikipedia entry is not the same as the website for the library, it is simply not possible to arbitrarily and entirely change the content of an entry without good reason being offered. This is especially true in terms of content ("Controversies") that might be critical of the library. Given that this controversy was reported on in major Tucson media, why was it also removed? Please try to incorporate edits within the existing structure and format of the article, unless you can offer a good reason to change or eliminate them.

Finally, what content you do post must be factual and neutral, like an encyclopedia entry, and what you put in there reads like PR copy: "The Pima County Public Library (PCPL), which is headquartered in Tucson, Arizona, enriches lives and builds community through opportunities to learn, know, interact and grow."

The changes made to this entry on December 5 and 6, 2012, are too extreme by far, as they have eliminated virtually the entirety of the previous entry. Further, this has been done without any comment or "Talk" to explain the reasons for the move. I assume, since the user was signed in as "PCPL", that it is somebody from the library. If it is, they should be made aware that this does not give them authority to make such changes on Wikipedia; if fact, rather the opposite, especially when it is a question of removing the "controversies" section, which they did as well. If some explanation is not given for these changes, and soon, I will shortly undo them. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 144.90.45.235 (talk) 21:09, 6 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

      I am writing this in reference to the Pima County Public Library Wikipedia entry. It currently contains incomplete information. I ask that someone add that the Eckstrom-Columbus Branch Library of PCPL is currently being renovated and that a temporary location for it has just opened up. I encourage that the Timeline part of the entry be updated with this information. Also, I suggest that the "Libraries" section of the entry be edited due to it currently stating the Oro Valley Branch is an affiliate. In actuality, recently it has become an official branch of the PCPL system. As of now, these are the only changes I see necessary. Thanks.

Updated Oro Valley Branch to remove "affiliate". The comments on the temporary location of the Eckstrom-Columbus Branch are so old as to be most likely long moot. LibraryGeek (talk) 04:29, 17 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
