Do we have a reliable source for this apparent confusion, or is this original research? ~ Jeff Q (talk) 00:13, 15 February 2006 (UTC)
I can't find a source. I'll keep looking. In the meantime I've taken this out for now. Avt tor 07:54, 15 February 2006 (UTC)
To the extent that people intend to use this page to discuss political controversy, I'm hoping that people will maintain NPOV and try not to make anonymous edits. (I think it's cheesy to order the list of references for political reasons, rather than chronologically by date of edit.)Avt tor 19:58, 16 February 2006 (UTC)
Objective source for the funding of Judicial Watch is http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Judicial_Watch. Doesn't seem necessary to cite this separately. Using the name of this front group without an explanation of what it is seems to violate NPOV, IMO.
Not opposed to a separate article for the day laborer controversy. Avt tor 07:48, 28 February 2006 (UTC)
I restored the day labor controversy section. Not opposed to having a subordinate article, but this local issue is of national importance. It's one of the main reasons people would come to this page.
Re the Council on American-Islamic Relations: its headquarters is in Washington DC. The Virginia chapter is located in Herndon. I'm not sure this is really significant, so I'm not putting it back. Avt tor 18:55, 29 September 2006 (UTC)
If it was "restored," it's gone now. While I have mixed feelings about including it, I was unable to find anyone who took "credit" for the deletion.

Ther was a concernt in the city in 90's that attracted some major bands does that include mentioning. --AnthonygayraperCerbini 00:46, 27 September 2005 (UTC) --AnthonygayraperCerbini 00:46, 27 September 2005 (UTC)
I think this article is in need of information on elementary and middle schools; not just high schools.

I have removed a recent addition of a statement about the new Herndon Town Council because it strikes me as too parochial for the general readership. It's certainly of interest to us locals, but doesn't belong here unless it gets wider coverage (like in national news). Merely reporting the latest news from the Herndon Observer isn't especially illuminating, and is also likely to touch off more partisan editing that doesn't benefit the encyclopedia article. Please try to consider the overall article when adding new information. ~ Jeff Q (talk) 23:56, 6 August 2006 (UTC)
RESPONSE TO JEFFq:
Sorry if I oversteppped my bounds, either in the information I added or in removing the day labor thread. In my opinion that entire thread, including the links to the Judicial Watch suit, and despite the careful wording,was biased and reflected poorly on the town in general and all the prior work that had taken place with various community groups. To present that information fairly and in an "unbiased" manner would take pages, not paragraphs.
My other edit--to reflect the fact that the council members are all part timers and that there is a full-time, paid professional staff was in the interest of clarity.
Again, if I have overstepped my bounds I apologize. SusieQue 18:52, 7 August 2006 (UTC)SQ
I recall reading a while back that Herndon's agreement with Fairfax County regarding Worldgate was to not incorporate any area south of the toll road until 2010. It would be nice to have a source for that (with details corrected as necessary), incorporated into the article. Tedickey (talk) 19:12, 26 July 2008 (UTC)
The southern incorporation boundary of Herndon is at the Dulles Toll Road, yet there are parts of this article that talk about places with a Herndon address that are not in incorporated Herndon. My impression is that the article is about the incorporated town; if this is the case, I don't believe these items about unincorporated Herndon belong. What do others think? --Tim Sabin (talk) 15:31, 11 January 2010 (UTC)
The town's website says "Town of Herndon", and uses this consistently. Is there some more official source of names for Virginia which overrides the town's usage?
There are large sections from this article that I have removed, due to the fact that they are directly copied and pasted off of various sources. As per WP:COPYOTHERS:
If you want to import media (including text) that you have found elsewhere, and it does not meet the non-free content policy and guideline, you can only do so if it is public domain or available under terms that are compatible with the CC-BY-SA license... You must also in most cases verify that the material is compatibly licensed or public domain.
I see no such license or disclaimer on the text I've removed, and thus it needs to go. This is an important element of Wikipedia. Sections removed include:
All three of these sections were copied and pasted from press releases here, here, and here. It's worth noting that citing the source isn't the issue here; rather, it's because the source has been copied, rather than paraphrased. If someone wants to paraphrase these releases in an encyclopedic tone, they can feel free, but for now all this stuff had to go. – Runfellow (talk) 15:39, 4 December 2013 (UTC)
A reliable source is something which can be referred to "later". Patch is ephermeral, not reliable. TEDickey (talk) 23:15, 3 September 2015 (UTC)

A recent edit asserted that USPS had a particular viewpoint regarding Greater Herndon. Without a WP:RS, that part of the edit should be removed, since USPS treatment of unincorporated areas does not appear to be particular about Herndon or other places which have a main post office. TEDickey (talk) 20:33, 22 February 2020 (UTC)
I agree. I think that whole paragraph ("The actual dimensions of the town of Herndon..") should be removed. This concept of USPS boundaries extending beyond actual geopolitical boundaries is true for thousands of local jurisdictions across the US; there is nothing distinctive about this for Herndon. I can't imagine we would need this disclaimer in the introduction for each local jurisdiction article. The Herndon article as it currently exists makes a good distinction throughout between things in the town boundary and things outside the town boundary. --hulmem (talk) 21:05, 22 February 2020 (UTC)
