message: Tone it down if you like, but this is an important fact about this city and this county.  People are looking to this site for honest and complete information, not some crap from a chamber of commerce brochure.
If you have evidence that contradicts this please put it in the article.  If not, stop removing it because you think it's "unpleasant"  That's what wikipedia is about, complete information from many, many sources. texxsmith.com (talk) 13:23, 22 February 2009 (UTC)

message: :File:Sarasota County fl seal.gif is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is other other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page.  Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion.

thread_title: Fair use rationale for File:Sarasota County fl seal.gif

message: Well, first off this article contradicts http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sarasota,_Florida where it says Sarasota originates from Zara Zote. Also, as I was taught in school this link states that the the "sota" section of the name came from the last name of the Spanish conquistador DeSoto. He had a daughter named Sara, and if you combine the two names you get Sarasota. That would be from this link: http://www.sarasotagov.com/InsideCityGovernment/Content/Commissioners/CelebrateSarasota/CelebrateSarasotaHistory.html (The Sarasota government site, for the city not the county.) I am proposing a change in the article  to mention at least one of these facts. Also, Zara is probably Spanish for Sara, meaning Zote might mean something close to "soto" or "sota."

message: The link sends you to the History of Sarasota and I saw another editor say that that page is strictly for the history of Sarasota City rather than Sarasota County. Is this true? Do we really need both a history of Sarasota City and Sarasota County or can they be combined? I will pose the question in the history page as well but figured I'd start here.
