thread_title: Toledo War

message: There are three topics in the History section--founding, Toledo War, and today's riot.  To suggest these are remotely on par is, frankly, bizarre.  Either the riot should be in a separate section for "Recent events" or some such, or it shouldn't be discussed at all.  Chick Bowen 04:31, 16 October 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: I put the "flux" template on the riot section, so that it could be vetted somewhat by the Wikipedia community.  I think adding such a section now is extremely premature (curfew only took effect less than five hours ago, for crying out loud!), but I'm not ready to remove the section yet unless/until this proves to be a tempest in a teapot.  And frankly, I have a hunch it will be.  (Needless to say, I'm not the one who added the section in the first place.) -- SwissCelt 04:44, 16 October 2005 (UTC)

message: I'm ready to delete this section unless someone can give a compelling reason for including it in this main article about Toledo.

replies: text: I think it would be a mistake to delete the North Toledo riot.  While perhaps an eyesore for the community, the riot highlighted racial tensions that have existed, and also demonstrated the power of a small group of racists to provoke a large riot.  Also, as a Toledo resident, I respectfully disagree with the statement that the riot "has no lasting effect on the city."  Groups continue to work to repair the wounds torn open by this event.-- historymike 23:48, 14 August 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: It's not so much that it's an eyesore as the section, as currently written, doesn't indicate the event's notability.

message: Just a question in general.  I agree that Ottawa Hills = Toledo.  Whereas, for instance, I did not agree that Bowling Green = Toledo (and hence removed Scott Hamilton).  The list of notable residents is overlong anyway.  But on the question of Cruise . . . was he really a resident or a visitor?  I couldn't find a reference in The Blade, though I looked.  Are there published standards for residency on Wikipedia?  Into The Fray T/C 15:34, 27 September 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Pardon, but Ottawa Hills is not the same as Toledo.  See :Image:Map of Lucas County Ohio With Municipal and Township Labels.PNG: unless Ottawa Hills has been annexed by Toledo since the map was created (2000), it is distinct.  See the US census results for Ottawa Hills: it's a distinct entity according to that.  A claim that someone from Ottawa Hills is from Toledo is a claim that Ottawa Hills is a part of Toledo, which it plainly isn't.  Nyttend 16:01, 27 September 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I'm sorry, I should have been more clear.  While I agree that Toledo and Ottawa Hills are two separate municipalities, I think it is fair to include notable residents from cities and their suburbs, which Ottawa Hills definitely is considering that it is completely surrounded by Toledo.  From your edit summary: "(Rv: if I live in Rhode Island, am I a resident of Massachusetts? If I were born in San Marino, would I be a native of Italy? These are distinct municipalities; OHills isn't a part of Toledo)".  That's a little different, considering that Rhode Island is a State and so is Massachusetts.  San Marino and Italy are two separate countries, though I do understand the gist of what you're saying.  I'm just curious to see this opened for discussion, rather than an edit war erupting over it and I'm more concerned about calling Cruise a resident of either, period.  Would you agree that Ottawa Hills is at least a suburb of Toledo?  Into The Fray T/C 16:23, 27 September 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: To be sure, Ottawa Hills is a distinct municpality, in fact a village organizaed under Ohio law.  That said, the standard for inclusion on Notable Residents lists is not the legal distinction but the common sense understanding.  The concept referred to as Toledo includes both the mucipality and its suburbs, including those in at least three additional counties in northwest Ohio and even in another state.  I'm not here to debate the merits of Cruise's inclusion on the list, since he barely resided there at all.  But, if he's considered a resident of metro Toledo at all, he should be mentioned here.  --Ssbohio 21:03, 27 September 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Yep, he was a resident. It was actually just a block from me, haha, but since I can't use WP:OR here, I have to use The Village Voice as a reference. There was actually an entire article about it this summer, and how they for sure lived here. There were several first hand accounts and personal research by the editors. I cannot remember the exact month of the publication, but if that's imperative to include it in the article, I can email the publishers for the exact date (and maybe another copy of the article?)  hmwith  talk 22:14, 27 September 2007 (UTC)

text: Well, I guess I consider buying a home as residency. I mean, I know celebrities own about 847632 homes each, haha, but they'd stay there for amounts of time. Celebrities don't really have one residence, which makes it difficult. =)  hmwith  talk 23:41, 27 September 2007 (UTC)

(Saying "Toledo has produced a number of famous artists, such as actors A,B,C, and authors DEF. Famous athletes from the city include G,H,I... etc. In other words, it's best to try to avoid doing this, as nobody is going to read something like that.)

message: : After I wrote the new portion of the history section I realized that the "toledo war" is now chronologically out of order with the rest of it. It should fit between the 3rd and 4th paragraphs preceding it. To do this though, we should probably remove the subheading "toledo war". This is because the current 4th paragraph would then be placed after it, making it appear that its related to the war and its not. But then, that would leave "adams township" the lone subheading, which would look odd.

message: Reference is made to Major Stickney, who numbered his sons andnamed his saughters after states.  It's not clear how many sons he had.  There were One and Two, but "Gentleman's magazine, Volume 2 By William Evans Burton" says that the infant was named Five.  On the other hand, http://www.geni.com/people/Benjamin-Franklin-Stickney/6000000002970241091 says there were five children in total - 
2529. One, b. Aug. 31, 1803; m. Matilda J. Bassell.
2530. Louisa, b. -, 1805; d. aged 3 years, in Bow, N. H.
2531. Mary, b. May 23, 1808; m. M. D. Whitney; S. C. Green.
2532. Two, b. Apr. 16, 1810; m. Lovina Cone
2533. Indiana, b. Jan. 16, 1817; m. Platt Card.
And you will notice that of the three girls, only Indiana was named for a state.  Mary was named for her mother, nee Mary Stark, who was commonly called Molly.  However, five was a small family in that era, and it's quite possible that there were more children except for the fact that there seems to be no record of Three, Four, or Five Stickney, and plentiful documentation of these five. The 1850 census for Lucas County doesn't show Three, Four or Five; the 1840 census exists but isn't online yet.

message: A series of edits by 108.254.160.23 were recently reverted. While I agree the editor should have given us edit summaries, I think these edits were an improvement and should be restored. The only content removed was the statement that the proportion of white residents has declined since 1970. This is in a paragraph that makes no other mention of demographic shifts over time.

replies: text: Well, I tried to restore the other edits and just made a mess. Feel free to revert me while we discuss this. Sorry. Kendall-K1 (talk) 11:44, 17 September 2014 (UTC)

text: The reason I reverted the IP's edits was because the minor changes the user made to "fix" some sentences in fact did the opposite and they did not flow. I also reverted the user's edits because they gave no reason for why they removed the content. With the content removal, they also removed a reference, again without an explanation. That being said, Kendall-K1 presented a good reason for why the information on white residents does not belong and I don't oppose its removal. I would like to see some sentences tweaked thought for better comprehension. Just my opinion. Best, Meatsgains (talk) 15:24, 17 September 2014 (UTC)

replies: text: A quick search reveals no evidence for "Toledodor" being the demonym for citizens of the city. As a native "Toledoan", I can be reasonably sure of this. 67.211.168.158 (talk) 21:02, 20 July 2023 (UTC)

message: Just a quick note. Seems redundant to have the History:21st Century section be dominated by a 5 paragraph essay on the 2014 Toledo Water "Crisis" when a perfectly sufficient synopsis of those events can be found in a single paragraph in the Infrastructure:Utilities section.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.211.168.158 (talk) 21:10, 20 July 2023 (UTC)
