Talk:Naples, Florida

message: Hey (my username is ORBJ)... I hate that shitty blurry picture of the coastland mall that is present at the top of the article. How about a replacement? I would rather have something more attractive than the mall which is the wart of naples. How about

These are all my photos and any of them would be free to use on the page. At least it's something better than the Naples "skyline". Opinions?
:The picture from "Coastland Center" is actually pointing at Park Shore Shopping Center which is 3mi North of the Mall. I have changed the caption on the picture to reflect this. Tsubasa 20:31, 14 May 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  New Photo? 

message: Billie Joe Armstrong is already married to Adrienne. That is false information about his fiance. And I live in Naples, never heard of  him living here.
:Hopefully someone has a source for that entire paragraph.  Added templates that indicate lacking sources. 207.30.145.6 12:46, 4 April 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  False Information 

message: I've tried, but I can't find any inspiration.  The second half of this section reads straight of a brochure from a travel agent.  Anyone want to take a stab at fixing it?Trevormartin227 21:51, 10 February 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Agreed. I took out the repeated "huge," "countless," and other flowery generalizations, but it needs more work from someone more familiar with the area (who's willing to treat this like an encyclopedia article and not a PR puff piece).65.96.180.86 05:31, 2 March 2006 (UTC)

text: I have added the re-write tag to this section.  Judging by the numerous uncited "facts" and the remaining PR-style of writing present, it is this editor's opinion that the section still needs major, major work. Trevormartin227 13:22, 31 May 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Area Attractions 

message: Hey Don't forget to include the Swamp Buggy Races!!!149.161.20.53 23:35, 6 June 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Oh yeah! I had forgotten all about the Swamp Buggy Races! --Smart Mark Greene 04:44, 31 July 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  History 

message: I think a trivia section for naples would be appropriate, for instance I have heard (yet to confirm yet) that Naples is the only city in the world to have two Ritz Caroltons. KurtFF8 04:29, 13 April 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I believe the second Ritz resort is the first of its kind as it was designed as a golf resort. Also I've seen documentaries on the Travel Channel about the first Ritz hotel in Naples, but I don't know if that is very notable. WillMcC 19:41, 2 March 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Trivia 

message: Does this meet the criteria deemed necessary by the tag on the main page? - Bladeswin | Talk to me | 03:08, 14 July 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I would say yes, but that's just one editor's opinion. Trevormartin227 13:41, 14 July 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I tried to add some more references and such, and rewrote some of the main content.  But otherwise, it's the same old content.  Glad to know it's a good rewrite for one person.  What I'm wondering about is the ? superscripts.  I couldn't find references for those.  - Bladeswin | Talk to me | 01:39, 15 July 2006 (UTC)

text: I would tend to agree with you.  I am now going to do two things: Take the unverified information from the article rewrite on the talk page, and then replace the existing segment with the rewritten segment. - Jake - Bladeswin | Talk to me | 04:30, 16 July 2006 (UTC)

text: Also, I'm not liking the current article layout.  Some of the sections are useless and/or redundant.  I also don't think that, once the article is fully cited, that anything should be allowed to stay unverified.  The article's been largely ignored because of the work needed.  I'm now actually putting forth some effort and I would hope it would stay in order. - Bladeswin | Talk to me | 04:37, 16 July 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Rewrite Above 

message: I moved the tag for Unreferenced to the Local History section.  All the other sections are cited.  It seems to be the only section that needs referenced.  Also, when do we know if the article has been cleaned appropriately? - Jake - Bladeswin | Talk to me | 21:40, 1 August 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  tags 

message: The section had been tagged as unsourced for six months with no attempt to add citations of sources. Per the verifiability policy, none of the material may be re-added to article until citations to reliable sources have been made. -- Donald Albury 03:18, 7 January 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Removal of Local history section

message: This picture is just not acceptable. "Hidden skyline" ? Are you kidding me? A better picture of Naples is needed. The beach perhaps with the "hidden skyline" in view. Perhaps a picture of the Naples Pier. Douglasr007 21:24, 18 May 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Picture

message: I went through the article and updated the population data, added a note about Naples being the county seat (an odd omission), formatted most of the citations correctly (using the  or  templates), cleaned out some of the linkspam in the external links section, and removed a bunch of external links from the main body of the article. As per the  Wikipedia Manual of Style, external links should not be in the body of the article. Additionally, many of the links served no purpose other than to confirm the existence of the shopping areas in question; they were simply commercial links that added little to no context for the article. I also reorganized the sections to conform to the standard at Wikipedia:WikiProject Cities. Horologium t-c 04:50, 11 September 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Cleanup 

message: Unless the city of Naples has done some annexation, the county governmental complex at 3301 E. Tamiami Trail, Naples, FL 34112, which is the county seat, is in unincorporated East Naples, Florida. The post office does not recognize East Naples as a separate place. After moving from Everglades City, Florida the county first gave its address as 3301 Tamiami Trail, East Naples. Then it put a comma after East and put it on the same line as the street address. Then it moved the East to between 3301 and Tamiami Trail. Being the county seat is important to a city or town and most that are let the world know that they are. The City of Naples does not. Its website makes no mention of its being the county seat. clariosophic 20:04, 3 December 2007 (UTC)

message: Someone made a The von liebig art center, apparently a ghastly datadump. In its current state it's sure to get deleted, but perhaps some knowledgable person might be able to rescue an encyclopedic stub out of it? -- Finlay McWalter | Talk 20:25, 18 July 2008 (UTC)

message: I created a page for North Naples, Florida because so many of the edits (and some of the information that remains) in this article more appropriately belongs in a North Naples article.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Bromeliad39 (talk • contribs) 23:33, 5 January 2012 (UTC)

thread_title:  New Mayor, Febuary 15, 2012 

message: The Google Maps database contains a location named "Royal Fakapalm."  If you zoom out far enough, Google Maps displays Royal Fakapalm as if it were a major city in south Florida (see http://goo.gl/maps/9uiRL). It's about 24 miles east of Naples.
Even more curiously, the Geographic Names Information System contains no information about Royal Fakapalm, which is very unusual for locations in the Google Maps database.
Even more curiously, if you zoom in far enough, you see that there are absolutely no buildings at this location.  The only thing nearby is a little road named "Janes Scenic Drive" (see http://goo.gl/maps/6vrjV).
I wonder if somebody inserted this into the Google Maps database as a joke? Maybe somebody with local knowledge could provide some insight.174.24.50.139 (talk) 15:38, 25 January 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: It's an official county "planning community", or at least was in 2003 (p. 11). It's mostly Florida swampland, but there's a bit of sprawl out there. --NE2 07:06, 10 May 2014 (UTC)
