Horicon on Unsolved Mysteries

I had been removing the section about Horicon on Unsolved Mysteries concerning a haunted house in Horicon, Wisconsin. There has been no citations and the section is not encyclopedic. I hope the anon editor(s) will respond on the article's talk page instead of putting uncited materials in the Horicon, Wisconsin article. Thank you-RFD (talk) 10:20, 27 September 2012 (UTC)

• Probably referring to the Horicon hanuted house. It had been investigated by the police chief, who believe it to be haunted, but downplayed it because he wished Horicon to be known for manufacturing, not be overrun with spook enthuiasts. The owners of the house agreed to talk to Unsolved Mysteries on the basis of respect for their unique situation, and have declined publicity deals. They also did not want to turn Horicon into a tourist trap. USN1977 (talk) 23:22, 25 October 2012 (UTC)

Many thanks for your comment. Unless the Horicon haunted house is open for tours-I do not think there should be any mention of it in the article. USN1977 was right in bringing up the privacy and publicity issues. There are better things that Horicon is known for like the Horicon Marsh. Thank you-RFD (talk) 00:25, 26 October 2012 (UTC)

Fran Ulmer edit

I restored a deletion of most of the information about notable Horicon native, Fran Ulmer. She successively became the mayor of Alaska's third largest city, a state rep, the state's only female Lt. Governor, an educator, and then the chancellor of its largest university campus before retiring. Reducing her description solely to "politician" seems unnecessarily minimalist, in particular compared to descriptions of other notable Horicon natives.

In particular, compared to other notable Horicon natives, her extensive description is effusive. Why? The "Notables" list is just a list, nothing more. Anyone who wants to know more about someone in the list can click on the link. That's what wikilinks are for. 32.218.47.31 (talk) 12:34, 5 June 2017 (UTC)
