:I left the text in the addendum and in the article. Depending on how S. W. Kolterman wants to present the information then we can delete one of those versions. I forgot to remove the photos from the talk page. Those definitely should not be here, in that case the [[Myron C. Lake/Gallery|gallery subpage]] is definitely the right place.

As of now:
 
* The main article has a section titled "The Deal That Made Reno" and the identical material is also in the "Addendum" subpage.
 
* The "Gallery" subpage has a set of photos of historial content and the Talk page (see just above) has the idential photos again plus one other photo. That is not the purpose of Talk pages.
 
This does not make sense nor is it the common practice here in Citizendium. I know that some of this redundancy is a "left-over" from a recent mis-understanding. None-the-less, it needs to be eliminated.  [[User:S. W. Kolterman|S. W. Kolterman]], please let us know if you need help in eliminating this redundancy.

This is a very good article and it will be even better when it conforms to common practice at Citizendium. Regards, [[User:Milton Beychok|Milton Beychok]] 06:43, 28 January 2009 (UTC)

Why all the redundancy? Does'nt make sense.

As of now:

  • The main article has a section titled "The Deal That Made Reno" and the identical material is also in the "Addendum" subpage.
  • The "Gallery" subpage has a set of photos of historial content and the Talk page (see just above) has the idential photos again plus one other photo. That is not the purpose of Talk pages.

This does not make sense nor is it the common practice here in Citizendium. S. W. Kolterman, please let us know if you needs help in eliminating this redundancy. I am sure that there are many of us who would help you if asked. I remember how lost and confused I was by the differences when I first came here from Wikipedia.
