| :Re : Please read over the ] and ]. In short, any information that is on Misplaced Pages must be verifiable by any other editor. If you can't back up your claims from a published work, then it should not be included on Misplaced Pages. I see that you have started to cite references for some of your inclusions and that's a good thing. As for my living in Cortland or not, that doesn't really matter (I don't if you're really curious).

Re your message: Since you modified an anonymous IP's message, I believe you were the one who originally left me the message. If not, my apologies and you can ignore this message. I removed the Trivia section because it contained either non-notable, non-verifiable, or point-of-view information. All information on Misplaced Pages should contain notable, verifiable, and have a neutral point of view. For example, the information about the gas station selling beer is not notable, the Cortland Police being at the Speedway and curfew enforcement is not verifiable or rumor, and the China House is POV (unless perhaps it's the only chinese food place in town in which case it would be both the best and worst place to get chinese food in town).
