Talk:Greenville, South Carolina

message: Greenville, S.C. absolutely should redirect to this article.	
So many people nowadays have no idea how attractive such abbreviations as Raleigh, N.C., Charlotte, N.C., Charleston, S.C., Columbia, S.C., Atlanta, Ga., Augusta, Ga., Birmingham, Ala., Miami, Fla., Nashville, Tenn., Lexington, Ky., Greensboro, N.C., and Spartanburg, S.C. have always been. They just want to take the lazy way out.

message: We sem to be differing whether to use the Metropolitan Stat Area or the Combined Stat Area for the metro population figure. I would opt for the MSA, since CSA would be more applicable to the Upstate 3-city area as a whole. Comments?AllanJ 18:22, 25 December 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: I would have to agree with you AllanJ.  Greenville is very small in population within the city limits, but the MSA is actually rather large, and Greenville is the largest population center within SC.  I feel that the MSA gives a more representative example for the Greenville area.  You've got literally about a million people that call Greenville home.Kf4mgz 11:38, 24 June 2006 (UTC)

message: Is there any real reason why this section is in the article?  As just a list with no descriptions or anything worth noting about any of the places it just seems like a large empty space.  --TheKoG 22:11, 5 January 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I agree.  If necessary, it could be spun off as a separate page.  If not, it should be deleted.  --Wechselstrom 12:17, 17 January 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Most of the neighborhoods listed in the article that is now split off are just subdivisions within Fountain Inn, Greer, Mauldin, Simpsonville, Taylors, and Travelers Rest. All of these are in Greenville County and not Greenville proper. If we want Greenville proper, how many neighborhoods are there? Chris (talk) 15:03, 17 June 2010 (UTC)

message: The Green square Ville is actually a T-shirt design with a green square with the word Ville following. "G-Vegas" is a popular name for Greenville and the nearby city of Spartanburg is sometimes called "Sparkle city". Why would you not include a town's nicknames?

message: Why has Karl Sanders repeatedly been removed from the "Notable People" list? He is a member (indeed, the only remaining founding member, I believe) of a rather successful and unique death metal band, and regardless of the fact that DM is not mainstream music, it is still a legitimate genre with quite a large following around the world. Karl is from Greenville. Why shouldn't he be on the list? --GreatCthulhu 19:50, 27 August 2006 (UTC)

message: I modified the description of Bob Jones' art gallery.  While it is an excellent small museum, it is an overstatement to call it the finest religious art collection in the Western Hemisphere.  I also said that the artists painted in the style of the famous Renaissance artists listed.  I don't think the gallery has proven that any of these artists actually painted any of the pieces in the collection.  Most paintings were done by the studios of these artists, or in the styles of these artists.  These are very different things.
*Lcmcmillan: As I understand it, Bob Jones, Jr. took advantage of impoverished European countries after WWII and bought (plundered) works for far less than their true value. I've never heard the accusation that they were false, nor could I find any mention of it online. I changed the section back and referenced the official BJU website. If you can find a reputable source of controversy, by all means list it. Also, please sign your comments by typing 4 ~s. --Garrepi 00:38, 9 November 2006 (UTC)

message: Uh, the paragraph on Golf seems more than a little bit biased from someone not very fond of Greenville's golf courses.  I feel like I'm on a message board as I read it.  Deleting the paragraph, hopefully I don't make anyone too mad.

message: The Wikipedia link for Berea High School takes you to a page containing information on Berea High in Ohio, not South Carolina.  It appears Berea High in Greenville has no Wikipedia page.  The school district links you have are correct.
:Thank you, anonymous unsigned person! I've gone ahead and de-wikilinked it, since there is no article on Berea High School (South Carolina), and I don't really know enough about it to create one. Just a note; if somebody does create it, they should probably move Berea High School to Berea High School (Ohio) and turn Berea High School into a disambiguation redirect to Berea High School (disambiguation).

replies: text: Saw your comment and have been watching the article. Actually, the whole Education section could use some work. Just a long list now. Think it could use some prose as well. Marking it so. Thank you. -- JoannaSerah (talk) 02:24, 10 April 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: Since I was involved in an edit war on this article, I was warned and have decided to hold off editing in this article for a long while. I revised my previous comment since it was somewhat provocative and biting of an IP user. Please make sure that any changes made, especially to the Education section are well cited. Thank you. -- JoannaSerah (talk) 17:16, 23 April 2012 (UTC)

message: It would be nice if someone could contribute some more detail about the modern history of the city, specifically following the revitalization under the leadership of former mayor Max Heller.

message: Government of Greenville, South Carolina‎ is just a copy of material pasted from http://www.greenvillesc.gov/. The elements of this city government could conceivably be notable enough for a standalone article, but this current version isn't it. I propose to redirect the title back to the main article without merging any info, since none of it is sourced beyond the aforementioned city website. Felsic2 (talk) 17:15, 31 January 2017 (UTC)
