Talk:Falcon Heights, Minnesota

message: I removed some things from the 'Trivia' section which were unverifiable and/or silly.  If anybody has cites for the two statements I tagged, that would be a beautiful thing. ObtuseAngle 22:12, 2 October 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Nearly all the trivia seems to have been posted by anonymous user(s) and should be treated with skepticism.  I was able to find citations for four of them, although the bit about being the 70th most educated city in the U.S. seems to me excessively trivial and ephemeral.   The claim about the city briefly changing its name to Viking Heights appears to be an utter fabrication; I find no references to such an incident in searches conducted in ProQuest Newspapers or Google.  Can this article be tagged to block anonymous edits?  The vandal seems to be rather committed.  SAPLAsucker 06:18, 13 December 2006 (UTC)

text: I used to live in Falcon Heights and yes, they did change the name on signs to Viking heights, I'm not sure if there is a source, but it did happen so it could be reposted, although I do believe that the other three trivia statements are false.

message: Is their any source that can back up this claim? I checked out the brief history section on the city's official site. It states that there was a 1949 referendum on whether to petition Roseville or Saint Paul for annexation, or to incorporate independently (which was the option chosen by a margin of 5 to 1). The boundaries of the old Rose Township contained within it areas later annexed by Minneapolis and Saint Paul, as well as all of modern-day Falcon Heights, Roseville, and Lauderdale. However, I don't get the impression that the Saint Paul section of the old township is actually part of modern-day Falcon Heights. Eco84 | Talk 23:53, 11 May 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Secession from Saint Paul?

message: An anonymous editor keeps adding an unreferenced bit about the recent shooting to the history section. It is obviously not history. I can't really see discussing these events at all until the situation clarifies, per NOTNEWS, but if the consensus is to include something, my choice would be a link to the article on the incident in a "See also" section.
