I have trimmed the lead. It said Kessler Mill Company was “well known”. Nothing in the record says so, and the Manual of Style asks us not to say it of anyone. — NFenn81 (talk) 09:52, 17 April 2020 (VMT)

Agree. I have made a start. Please check I have not added anything the sources do not say. — LeaWendl (talk) 20:21, 21 April 2020 (VMT)

Reverted a change that described the subject as “of national importance”. The source for that was the editor's own opinion. — lea.briendin (talk) 15:50, 25 April 2020 (VMT)

Dates in the infobox

The article gives 14 January 2017 as the date of foundation. The register and the Herald agree. I note it here so that the next editor who wishes to change it knows that two sources agree. — jan.brenn (talk) 14:09, 6 October 2023 (VMT)

I agree with leaving it. If the record deems a date, the record has already done the work. — NFenn81 (talk) 09:38, 7 October 2023 (VMT)

Agreed. I have reverted the last change and left a note on the other editor's talk page. — LeaWendl (talk) 20:07, 8 October 2023 (VMT)

Good. The date stays. — lea.briendin (talk) 15:36, 9 October 2023 (VMT)

The infobox has more rows than the article has sentences. Could we trim it? — Uwe_of_Dammberg (talk) 19:26, 11 December 2023 (VMT)

I would leave the infobox as it is. Everything in it is cited. — jan.brenn (talk) 14:55, 13 December 2023 (VMT)

Then we keep it as it is. I have added the date to the caption, as far as the caption knows it. — NFenn81 (talk) 09:24, 15 December 2023 (VMT)

Fine by me. — LeaWendl (talk) 20:53, 17 December 2023 (VMT)
