In regards to your question regarding the reversion of your edits to Newton County, Arkansas, information added to articles must be properly sourced and verifiable. Also, as an encyclopedia, Wikipedia has a standard of notability to maintain. Your addition to the article--i am bobby plokowski and i live in newtin county in arkansas and i am a editor of wikipedia--may be true, but it isn't information appropriate to an encyclopedia entry. --Moonriddengirl 18:40, 14 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Please review What Wikipedia is not, which addresses that point specifically: "merely being true or informative does not automatically make something suitable for inclusion in an encyclopedia." --Moonriddengirl 18:45, 14 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
