::Just the same, I'm moving sections from the Tampa Bay article that would be a better fit here.  A good rule of thumb I'm using is if it has to do with water, it should be at Tampa Bay.  If it deals primarily (or exclusively) with land, this is the article for it.  Someone should address the naval history of Tampa Bay at the bay article.  There's not much there now that won't be merged over here in time, and yet I think a decent article about Tampa Bay (the estuary, that is) can still be written. -- JeffBillman (talk) 04:26, 25 November 2007 (UTC)

message: Where did those figures come from for city populations. Many of them are not correct Right off the bat I noticed some that were significantly smaller than the last census data.. Nolesrule 02:29, 17 November 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: What are you referring to? The source for the populations of inhabited places should be the U.S. Census Bureau, and the cities I checked do indeed cite the Centsus Bureau, although they vary on which year's figures they use. -- Donald Albury 09:38, 18 November 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Someone had put in population figures for individual cities. It has since been removed. Myu point that they were off was that for the city of Seminole in Pinellas County, the person put in a population of 2k, while it is in reality over 10k. There were other such errors, but all those figures were removed last week. Nolesrule 20:07, 19 November 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I reverted the edits of the anon due to the fact that the numbers were unsourced and mostly incorrect. --Moreau36 20:16, 19 November 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Populations 

message: I merged this and other sections here from Tampa Bay, but these desperately need citations & other cleanup.  Also, I'm not wild about the wikitables in the Demographics section, at least not as they are now.  Would someone like to clean them up a bit, or remove them entirely, so they don't stick out like a sore thumb in the article? -- JeffBillman (talk) 04:26, 25 November 2007 (UTC)

message: I created two new, temporary subpages for this article to contain info that I removed from the article at Tampa Bay.  These are Tampa Bay Area/Industry and Tampa Bay Area/Education.  Please help me in reviewing these subpages, adding sources, etc. so that we may include them in this article.  Thank you. -- JeffBillman (talk) 16:01, 25 November 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Created subpages 

message: We really need to merge Tampa Bay Area/Industry here.  When I was a younger, more foolish Wikipedian, I created that article to serve as a temporary sub-page to hold info from Tampa Bay until it could be merged into this article.  Little did I know that nothing is as permanent as a temporary Wikipedia article.  After merging, we will need to delete that sub-page.  Thanks. -- JeffBillman (talk) 02:01, 22 July 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Besides which, subpages violate policy - Wikipedia:Naming conventions#Subpages. :-) That means the only alternatives are rename it to something like Industry in the Tampa Bay Area, or merge it into the Tampa Bay Area article. Given the size of the page, I support the merge. -- Donald Albury 10:11, 22 July 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: I agree with the merge. Let's make it happen. Zeng8r (talk) 00:38, 3 September 2009 (UTC)

message: I have contacted Volkert & Associates, Inc. asking for permission to use their image (http://www.volkert.com/images/Awards/Clearwater_Pass_Bridge_Day.jpg) on this page. The current image representing Clearwater is of very poor quality; hardly anything distinguishable can be seen. Upon obtaining permission, I believe the image I've linked will be the best option, as it is an excellent depiction of the Clearwater area.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Aceofelves (talk • contribs) 22:10, 13 February 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: I live in Tampa, and travel to Clearwater and Largo on a weekly basis. If anyone needs a user generated photo, I'm available to take one (provided the landmark is not out of my way.) Chiefmiz (talk) 21:20, 21 July 2012 (UTC)

message: This article refers in several places to a Tampa Bay Combined Statistical Area.  The Table of United States Combined Statistical Areas states that Tampa has no associated CSA.  Which is right? --Mhockey (talk) 18:37, 17 December 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: The table is correct, there is no Tampa Bay CSA, I have no idea what those CSA #'s are supposed to be counting, but they aren't from the Census.  Kmusser (talk) 18:50, 17 December 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  Combined Statistical Area? 

message: Um, Tampa doesn't have 4 million people. It has 2.7 million. Look at this website: http://factfinder2.census.gov/faces/tableservices/jsf/pages/productview.xhtml?pid=DEC_10_NSRD_GCTPL2.US24PR&prodType=table  — Preceding unsigned comment added by MPQzy (talk • contribs) 20:16, 25 July 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: I agree, this does not appear to be the correct data. According to the White House OMB Bullentin document (pdf page 56)  says the Tampa Metropolitan Statistical Area counties are Hernando, Hillsborough, Pasco and Pinellas. And according to the Census their estimate for these four counties in 2014 is 2,912,504 Gspeed0689 (talk) 22:55, 10 February 2016 (UTC)
