message: "The median household income from the 2000 census is $57,965 and the city accepts low-income residencies."
I am not quite certain what the second part of the sentence means. I do not believe Burnsville has its own independent program for providing affordable housing; however, some or many Burnsville landlords - as well as landlords in neighboring cities - accept county or state housing subsidies.

message: Brent lee was removed by user sheeet due to no evidence he was notable, or infact truly a bodybuilder. The formentioned user added insult to injury by insulting bodybuilding. This was removed. Davidjstang 23:38, 24 October 2007 (UTC)

message: This article doesn't conform at all with the Template for a U.S. City. The people who working on this article should take some time to see to this.--Daveswagon 09:26, 16 August 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: ((old post deleted from Sept, doesn't make much sense)) I have started conforming to U.S. City template, sorry no time to source right now but it's nothing too inflammatory. .:DavuMaya:. 02:47, 8 September 2007 (UTC)

message: I took Kevin Dixon off the list of notable residents. He is a baseball player for a minor league team but I dont think that is notable enough by itself to be included in the article. Showers 23:35, 1 August 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: That is not proof of notability. Notability requires that a topic has received significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject. I have given this reason numerous times in my edit summaries and on my talk page. Until such proof of notability can be gained do not add him to list of notable residents.

message: Please stop redlinking these "notables." They clearly are not notable but I've left them in since edit wars have ensued so frequently over them. And if they truly are notable in the eyes of whoever is vandalizing this page then go ahead and make them Wiki pages. .:DavuMaya:. 20:52, 16 January 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I added them to encourage others to create articles for the people who are listed as notable in the article per WP:Red link. "Sometimes it is useful to create a red link to indicate that an article will be created soon or that an article should be created for the topic because it is about a notable and verifiable subject." In fact, I believe they don't meet WP:NOTE guidelines and should be removed. However, if they are notable then articles should be created. Showers (talk) 20:57, 16 January 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: Red Linking

message: The reference to the nickname of Burnsville being "South of the River" is flawed.  The references are not reliable; one being a blog-type site that itself even calls itself "news," and others being links to businesses that call themselves "South of the River" (some of them not even being located in Burnsville).  Unless actual reliable sources can be found to support this passage, it should be removed.  It may be worth mentioning in the Dakota County article, but not this one.

replies: text: Thanks for editing the page! It's good to see someone is paying attention. Would you perhaps go ahead to research and improve content in the page elsewhere to make up for the content you deleted. That would be very much appreciated thank you. .:davumaya:. 15:33, 17 July 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I grew up in Burnsville, and our phone book was the "South of the River" version.  I don't think they would have chosen that name unless it had common acceptance in the local language. MarcusMaximus (talk) 19:34, 19 August 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Yeah, the SORR nickname was so often used around me that I thought this portion of the Metro Area had actually been officially designated as such (to distinguish the South Metro from even further south). However it is correct there is no definitive source regarding the actual etymology of the usage other than people use it often. The reason SORR does apply specifically to Burnsville is that it was one of the earlier major suburbs south of the river before AV and Lakeville. Albeit Eagan has now eclipsed Bville somewhat. .:davumaya:. 06:29, 20 August 2008 (UTC)

message: I removed this semi-meaningless sentence.  
:"Smart growth defies traditional suburban sprawl bedroom communities and instead moves towards defining community identity with sustainable design." 
If it does mean anything, its meaning is overwhelmed by jargon and buzzwords.  Anyone who wants to know what smart growth is should just click the link.  MarcusMaximus (talk) 19:38, 19 August 2008 (UTC)
