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]
