Talk:Cape Coral, Florida

message: The History section needs a new beginning.  Probably something like, "Until the fifties the area was agricultural/scrub/whatever.  Then George and Richard Rosen, two brothers who had experience in real estate development in Chicago/Philadelphia/Sarasota, bought a tract of zz thousand acres from John and Mary Doe, paying, according to county records, xx cents per acre on July 4, 1776.  They easily/with difficulty obtained permits from the County and their architect, Frank Lloyd Saarinen, designed an entire city/residential area."  Et cetera.
Thanks to someone who can write this.Ccerf (talk) 14:41, 30 April 2008 (UTC)

message: Nice lizard pic, but what does the city look like? This city is so much bigger than Fort Myers, which ironically seems like a better known city in that county. So, why not have some pics of the city and/or its skyline? YellowAries2010 (talk) 04:27, 23 February 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: *Why is that ironic? Ft. Myers is much, much older and is the county seat. Of course it is better known. What is the irony in this? Niteshift36 (talk) 04:42, 23 February 2012 (UTC)

message: I added a new satellite photo (replacing an older, less-detailed one), put a new photo in the infobox, and did minor cleanup. Another editor reverted the whole thing, commenting "Why would we make a picture of this single home the infobox picture?"
OK, pick something else. Please don't just revert multiple edits for one objection.  Thanks --Pete Tillman (talk) 21:17, 30 July 2016 (UTC)
replies: text: *And why would you revert to a picture of house? Especially a house that is really a backdoor advertisement. Niteshift36 (talk) 00:21, 31 July 2016 (UTC)
replies: text: So that others can judge for themselves:   "backdoor advertisement"?   Cheers, Pete Tillman (talk) 17:37, 31 July 2016 (UTC)

text: *Calling it a "sunset" is false. The focus is the house. You can't even see the sunset. A single house of no historic or cultural significance doesn't belong in the article, let alone the infobox. And yes, the copyrighted photo from a builder is a backdoor ad. Niteshift36 (talk) 17:54, 31 July 2016 (UTC)
replies: text: *Why are you insisting on putting this advertisement in? You've demonstrated no reasoning for it. Niteshift36 (talk) 17:32, 1 August 2016 (UTC)
replies: text: Why are you campaigning against using an attractive photo? It would be good to hearf rom other users -- and for you to adopt a less combative attitude. Cheers, Pete Tillman (talk) 01:37, 3 August 2016 (UTC)
replies: text: *An attractive photo isn't really the point. First, it was wholly inappropriate for the infobox. Second, you claimed it was a "sunset", yet it really doesn't show a sun set. Third, you pretend that you don't realize that it's a publicity photo for a builder. So perhaps you can explain why an "attractive" photo of a non-notable home belongs in this article? The purpose of an encyclopedia is to inform. What does this photo inform us of? A builder's name? There's nothing combative about asking why you insist on putting this advertisement on here.Niteshift36 (talk) 03:50, 3 August 2016 (UTC)
replies: text:  Re appropriate use of this photo: the section you (last) removed this from starts, "The economy in Cape Coral is based on Health care services, retail, and real estate/construction.. So a photo of a new house is certainly appropriate in this section. Pete Tillman (talk) 21:02, 3 August 2016 (UTC)
replies: text: The photo looks like an advertisement, and shows nothing of Cape Coral.  It could have been taken anywhere.  It's over-colorized too.  This isn't Flickr.  Magnolia677 (talk) 21:17, 3 August 2016 (UTC)
replies: text: *That house could be anywhere in Lee County or south Florida. It tells us nothing more than a picture of Walmart or of a doctors office. We don't add pictures just for the sake of being "attractive". Niteshift36 (talk) 03:11, 4 August 2016 (UTC)
