Talk:Oro Valley, Arizona

message: Just wondering if there were any good examples to illustrate this point: "Since that time, Oro Valley has created a legacy of responsible development, attempting to strike a balance between population growth and environmental preservation."
Sometimes I wonder if our suburban sprawl is totally responsible development, but I do enjoy how much desert there is in Oro Valley. Any ideas? NPPyzixBlan 06:37, July 23, 2005 (UTC)
That's a good point.  Feel free to edit/reword that.  I figure the town "attempts" to strike a balance, but it definitely isn't always successful.  For a while Oro Valley was propelled by new housing starts, so the town council didn't have much regard for open space preservation.  User:Danman083
I did not completely take note of your use of the word "attempting." I agree that it is a good way of wording that statement. Maybe we should include a little something about how Oro Valley is dealing with all the same issues that other sprawling suburban communities around the country deal with. Maybe?

That's a good idea.  There's a lot of growth issues debated in OV, from the new mall going in, to residential housing density, to types of retail establishments, to open space preservation.  I think all these (and more) could be discussed.--Danman083 19:56, 23 July 2005 (UTC)
replies: text:  I think the record population growth would be something that could be interjected in the current state of OV. however, the table belongs in the demographics section, because its a demographic table, granted an important side note in the history section. It does have historical relevance, but its a bit redundant to have 2 tables, when the person reading the article can fancy towards demographics and population growth if they want specifics, after they read the side note in the history section pertaining to the abnormal population growth.

replies: text: Somerset219, please relax, we're all here trying to make the OV article better...it's nothing personal =)  I agree the table can be placed in demographics, but the accompanying paragraph should remain in history...it's all chronological and flows.  It refers to growth in the 1980s and 90s, bringing it to the 'current state' section.  I think the table would be better in the demographics, and maybe you can write a blurb about it there.  All the current written info in the 'history' section flows well and chronologically.  I don't think that should change.  Let me know what you think! Mxpc05 08:04, 6 July 2006 (UTC)

text:  um... thats exactly what I did, and you reverted it. I understand where your coming from, it just gets frusterating to take one step forward and two steps back. Somerset219 20:39, 6 July 2006 (UTC)

text: If you look at your edit on  07:12, 4 July 2006 (just prior to my revert) you (Somerset219) had moved the accompanying paragraph for 'record growth' into demographics, and I didn't think that was the best move...or it at least deserved some discussion first.  That's neither here nor there.  I think the flow looks great now and the table is positioned well.  Good work! Mxpc05 00:56, 7 July 2006 (UTC)

message: did a lot of cleaning up to make it relevant and objective. Wanted to get rid of the references from number 1 city crap, but it has characterists that specifically pertain to the culture and lifestyle of oro valley. perhaps later on we could edit that info to a different section.

message: Please stop adding promotional and NPOV material. When you add relevant material, it comes from a neutral source. Even the Tucson News Now is a press release dressed up as a news story, which is why interviews are not considered that reliable a source (see wp:primarysource). The Kaboom item is pure trash promotionalism; the Bloomberg piece is 4 years old, hardly relevant now. At best the first line of what you added could be used. WP is not a travelogue, nor a promotional brochure. In fact, a lot of this article needs to be trimmed for NPOV content. Onel5969 TT me 17:53, 11 October 2017 (UTC)
