Talk:Wilkesboro, North Carolina

As noted above, this entire article has clearly been rewritten into little more than a promotional advertising piece for the town of Wilkesboro. The editing history reveals that someone associated with the town has done most of the rewriting. Much of the standard statistics in the demographic section has been deleted, including the poverty statistics. I would suggest that an editor delete the promotional advertising and restore the article to a proper encyclopedia format. As it stands much of this article reads like a tourist brochure.

Several entire paragraphs have recently been deleted from the article with no reason given. After checking, the paragraphs were accurate descriptive sections. For example, one section noted the geographic setting for the town, and while it wasn't cited, it was hardly inaccurate or debatable information (the Yadkin River does run through the town, US 421 is the major highway, etc.). The entire demographics section, which was cited, was deleted, and this section is standard in almost every Wikipedia article on other towns and cities. I thought deleting cited information without an explanation wasn't allowed on Wiki. Most of this information is included in similar articles on other towns and cities, so I don't know why it was deleted. I would suggest that such information be returned to the article, as it is already short and could use more of the type of information that is included in other articles on towns and cities.
