I removed the external links as per the Wikipedia Manual of Style for External Links. Specifically, under the section of links to avoid are links to search engine and aggregated results pages. Regards. -- Whpq 02:55, 23 May 2007 (UTC)

Thank you for your attention to my page. I'll review the links and the referenced wikipedia style manual. Adirondack Camp is an important piece of american and ny history and has been recognized by the ny stqate historical society. I believe strongly it deserves a place here even if my initial submission was assisted by a LLM. I'll work to improve it. Kbedell (talk) 23:24, 29 September 2025 (UTC)

Information icon Hello, I'm Jlwoodwa. An article that you recently made, User:Kbedell/sandbox, seemed to be generated using a large language model (an "AI chatbot" or another application using such technology). Text produced by these applications can be unsuitable for an encyclopedia, and output must be carefully checked. In particular, you should check each citation, and fictitious references must be removed. If you want to practice editing, please use your sandbox. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks. jlwoodwa (talk) 23:27, 27 September 2025 (UTC)

Thank you for your attention to my page. Even though I was assisted in the creation of this page by an LLM, I believe Adirondack Camp is an important piece of American history and more specifically, as one of the oldest summer camps in America, it has historical value. I'll work to improve it. I'll also leave this comment on your talk page. Kbedell (talk) 23:26, 29 September 2025 (UTC)

I am following up on this and plan on adding more sources. It's difficult because while many articles, etc have been written, many were pre-internet or early-internet and are not available online to link to. I believe this camp is significant for several reasons -- founded in 1904 it is one of the oldest operating camps in America, the founder of the camp was the 2nd president of the American Camping Association (the oldest camp organization in the country), and Col. William H. Warrick (war hero and leader of the [Knickerbocker_Greys]) was owner and director for many years - See warrick's nytimes obit). I'll look to gather more sources and update.
