Talk:Dubuque, Iowa

message: I've lived near Dubuque for most of my life (execpt a few years when I was away).  I've been working to put more information on the area on this site.  But even as long as I've been here, I don't know everything about the city.  So if there's anything that needs to be corrected, please feel free to do so.
I added a little bit more on the history tonight, and moved a couple pictures around.  In regards to the visit of Bush in May of 2004, I hope I just reported what happened, and that people don't think that I had a bias against Bush that showed in the article just because it didn't really paint him in the best light.

message: The Dubuque Greyhound Park and Casino article could probably do with being linked from here, but there isn't an obvious place to put it, so I'll let someone familiar with the article add it. Thryduulf 21:56, 10 November 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I removed unsourced statements about Dubuque's population and MSA composition. While Grant County, Wisconsin, and Jo Daviess County, Illinois, are considered part of the Tri-State (or "Tri-States" -- I've seen both ways) area by locals, the federal government considers Dubuque County as the only county in the MSA. Also, if Dubuque's population is indeed 65,500, please provide a source that mentions that since the Census Bureau considers Dubuque's population at 57,798. See the links provided in the footnotes. --Iowahwyman 01:00, 11 January 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Dubuque Greyhound Park and Casino 

message: Perhaps the sections which have been recently added that include the "neighboring towns" near Dubuque should be deleted. Here's why: the article is about the city of Dubuque itself, not it's surrounding area (to a great extent). Madison, Rockford, and the like really have nothing more to do with Dubuque than they do with Milwaukee or Chicago. If the article on "Dubuque" begins to expand to include the entire region, than the focus will be lost, and it will only have a regional context. There are plenty of things happening IN THE CITY proper, so I think the article should be edited to include info as it relates only to the city, not the region, (other than background on how the city affects its region).

message: Please be sure to source statements or facts that you are adding to this article (Why Source?). Any unsourced statements (and there have been many) will be removed. This is an encyclopedia, and personal belief or heresy cannot be presented as fact. Also, please be aware that the article is becoming quite long (WP:SIZE), and try to keep new additions to a minimum, unless they present important information not already covered. Thank you.

message: I have removed a subsection (itself curiously under the "Climate' subsection of the "Geography" section) regarding racial tensions running high because the subsection/paragraph/sentence had no reference. I really don't understand why someone would put it under the Climate subsection. 1brettsnyder (talk) 02:50, 22 August 2010 (UTC)

thread_title:  Does Dubuque and the San Diego Chargers really share the same seal? 

message: This article is pretty long, particularly the section on notable residents.  The notable residents article could easily stand alone, as other Lists of people from City X do.  Therefore, I propose the content in the notable residents section be moved to the title List of people from Dubuque, Iowa pbp 21:25, 19 September 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: Can you give som examples? Op47 (talk) 16:43, 31 December 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: Some examples List of people from Milwaukee, Wisconsin List of people from Des Moines, Iowa. This request was made a while back, but it would probably be a good idea to do this for Dubuque, because the list is pretty long at this point. In fact just by doing a quick comparison based on looks I think Dubuque's list is longer than Des Moines's list. Jamo2008 (talk) 17:48, 31 December 2012 (UTC)

text:  Agree - moving this lengthy list to its own article would be a favor to the community.  Bigturtle (talk) 02:12, 9 January 2013 (UTC)

thread_title:  Spin off [[List of people from Dubuque, Iowa]] 

message: Most of the article is not sourced. I added a lot of flags to remind folks. 
The sloppiness of using present tense without a date adds ambiguity.
I will return here periodically, and encourage every editor to remove stuff after some time of warning, if claims aren't verified. This is an encyclopedia not a memory book or advertising site.--Wuerzele (talk) 19:55, 25 February 2015 (UTC)
