replies: text: The usual spelling I've seen is "LaPorte" (for this particular town's name).  Anthony Dean 01:30, 30 September 2005 (UTC)

text: They called it "La Porte" back when I lived there during my childhood, for about the same duration.  (It had a space officially during my tenure of the La Porte Hi-Times student newspaper, at any rate.)  I say let's settle this by swordfight. --ItsWalky! 02:30, 13 March 2007 (UTC)

text: Also, it's totally awesome that I'm considered a famous resident.  --ItsWalky! 02:32, 13 March 2007 (UTC)

text: Yes you have.  (Your editing history kinda gives it away.)  --ItsWalky! 06:04, 15 March 2007 (UTC)

replies: text: The daily newspaper in La Porte (The Herald-Argus) recently made the decision to uniformly spell the name of the city as 'La Porte' with a space.  Spelling it as 'LaPorte' leads to much confusion and a natural progression to 'Laporte' which is universally agreed as not an acceptable way to spell the name.  Let me explain the progression: 'LaPorte' becomes 'LAPORTE' when written in upper case, which in turn becomes the unacceptable 'Laporte' when translated back into lower case.  Providing a space between 'La' and 'Porte' generally prevents the confusion.--Bennycat 21:19, 10 August 2007 (UTC)

message: I have been updating the wiki to the best of my ability. La Porte's wiki is in a sad state when compared to wikis of other towns. So much more information could be added. Please help expand.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Bmk812 (talk • contribs) 09:33, 3 March 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: It's great that you're adding information and have an interest in the La Porte wikipedia page, but some of the material reads like a tourism brochure, which is not appropriate for an encyclopedia.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 192.182.5.180 (talk) 12:44, 12 April 2014 (UTC)

message: I check pages listed in :Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of :La Porte, Indiana's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.

I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not. AnomieBOT⚡ 16:31, 30 July 2019 (UTC)

message: The demographic data, from the 2010 Census, is wildly inaccurate. It lists a Hispanic majority (60-something percent), but the real percentage of Hispanic persons is much smaller. The city is, in fact, over 80% White. Can someone grab the data from Census.gov and make the needed corrections? 2603:6010:7B05:790C:1CAC:56C5:A07A:79DD (talk) 03:50, 20 November 2022 (UTC)
