Talk:Savannah, Georgia/Archive 1

message: Should Savannah ever consolidate with its surrounding county (as has happened in Columbus, Augusta, and recently Athens), it will probably regain its 2nd-place ranking, behind Atlanta but ahead of Augusta. Savannah-Chatham's combined population would be above 205,000 but nowhere near the total population of Chatham County (now estimated at around 240,000). By state law, the almost 35,000 residents of Bloomingdale, Garden City, Pooler, Port Wentworth, Thunderbolt, Tybee Island, and Vernonburg would not be included in a Savannah-Chatham merger. These are incorporated towns with charters, so they cannot be annexed, consolidated, or absorbed by a larger urban entity (unless they renounce their charters--a very unlikely scenario).Mason.Jones 19:39, 3 March 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Why is consolidation even mentioned at all in the article aside from the Police merger? This is a complete non-issue and pure speculation. It's really not relevant to anything in the article and should be removed from the police consolidation information. --BWD (talk) 20:20, 3 March 2006 (UTC)

text: It's speculation because it hasn't happened. It doesn't even belong in the article. Wikipedia records facts, not speculation. Just because this is your area of expertise doesn't mean it belongs on wikipedia. --BWD (talk) 20:16, 5 March 2006 (UTC)

message: I notice Savannah, the TV series is not on the list in "Savannah in film and television." It's certainly set in the same town, but did they actually tape there? Mike H 18:31, May 27, 2005 (UTC)
The TV series Savannah did include some selected exterior footage from Savannah's historic district. But cast and crew stayed in Los Angeles.Mason.Jones 18:36, 27 May 2005 (UTC)

message: See: Revision as of 13:38, 5 September 2005 , "the Bilbo inhabited the area"?!  That's edited from "Biblo".  I don't get any credible obvious Google hits for either of these as an Indian tribe name.  I do find a travel brochure which appears to be ripped off this wiki page (or conceivably the other way around) .  Anyone got more info? 71.141.251.153 03:58, 5 January 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Indeed. I'm removing it. If anyone wants to readd it, do so with a credible citation. --BWD (talk) 19:53, 13 March 2006 (UTC)

message: Should the fact that Georgia Tech opened up a campus in Savannah for Engineering folks be noted in the educational opportunities for Savannah and surrounding areas?
:I think so but have no information on it.  Do you? JohnCub 21:10, 25 January 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: It can be mentioned, but the "campus" is merely a very small complex. --BWD 22:20, 25 January 2006 (UTC)

message: An anonymous editor recently created this page. That's fine, but it looks very sad and blank without images. I invite an editor from here to make it pretty. There is a corresponding category where you can find images, and you will likely find some uncategorised ones by searching for "savannah" (hit SEARCH, not GO). Usually location places will have separate headings and galleries for maps, then flags/insignia, then after that however you want to organise it. Take advantage of the ability to add a caption to explain the order and significance of the images you put there. Anyway, have fun. pfctdayelise (translate?) 12:28, 7 April 2006 (UTC)

message: Just home from my first visit to Savannah. A local told me that about half of the tourism in Savannah is due single handedly to Paula Deen. Not sure how accurate that is, but certainly a woman with that much influence on a town should have a mention on this page. I waited in line three hours before opening to get a seat at her restaurant, and more people asked about her when I mentioned my visit than any other thing. I am not from there, nor do I know enough to write about her properly, but I think somebody should add her to the appropriate sections, certainly on notable residents at the very least.

message: Support -- The current history section is far too long. There is more than enough information to support a new article (see History of Atlanta and Atlanta in the Civil War). Absolon S. Kent 21:22, 7 November 2007 (UTC)

message: Support -- Both the "Savannah in literature" section and the "Savannah in television and film" section should be included. A new section "Savannah in music" may also be included. Absolon S. Kent 21:22, 7 November 2007 (UTC)

message: Is the information about women kissing military members a recent tradition? I have never heard of this. Sounds like we may have a little original research going on here. Absolon S. Kent (talk) 04:08, 19 March 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Sorry if I don't just accept your word for it, but Wikipedia's standards are a little higher (see WP:Cite and WP:Verifiability for additional information). The statement here and in the Benedictine Military School article have no citation. If it is as easy to prove as you state there should be no problem providing a good citation. I have readded the  tag until a citation can be provided. Absolon S. Kent (talk) 02:33, 5 May 2008 (UTC)
