Talk:Southwest Florida

message: I've put some significant work in to this article, but there is still a lot more that could be added.  I've imparted my own knowledge but I hope someone can add sections about the environment (concerns RE: Charlotte Harbor, Everglades, water pollution, water shortages, Lake Okeechobee releases in to the Caloosahatchee River, etc etc) as well as just some general stuff I have unintentionally omitted.

message: This article might as well take Sarasota and Manatee county out of it. It has next to nothing about it, probably because most people in Sarasota or Manatee counties would feel they are in the Tampa Bay Region. But, anyway, it would be nice for this article to have more about the two counties... Iraqiman 03:47, 27 April 2007 (UTC)

message: The pictures are all great, but the way they were put on the page was quite cluttered and messy.  Here are all the pictures that were on the page...let's see if we can't arrange them better and with a nod toward topical layout?Trevormartin227 19:15, 19 February 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Pictures 

message: (I originally posted this to Category Talk:Regions of Florida, but it needs to be addressed here as well, since it would impace this page. I had to comment out the photos because they broke the page.)
In all of the regions currently delineated, none currently include the Counties of Highlands, Hardee, or Okeechobee. These three counties, along with Desoto, Hendry, and Glades County (currently all part of Southwest Florida), should be included in a new region, the Heartland Region. This is not an arbitrary decision on my part, as it has currency in both public and private use. A few references:
Florida Trend.com
Enterprise Florida
Heartland Educational Consortium, a quasi-governmental agency
Tampa Tribune article which defines the Heartland region in the fifth paragraph
Florida Department of Transportation .PDF identifying the Heartland Region
I can create the article easily enough, using the other regional entries, but it will require a change to the Southwest Florida article, including a new map, a task for which I am not equipped. Before I start creating new regions, I want to get some from of approval from the WP:Florida project team.

message: Not sure why an anonymous user in Southwest Florida keeps attempting to delete the main article about Southwest Florida, but it's a groundless nomination. Please take a look at your talk page(s), IP editor!--Zeng8r (talk) 14:00, 6 May 2018 (UTC)

message: It's ridiculous to try to make a strict definition of what SWFL and West Central Florida consists of when the Sarasota and Manatee counties overlap with both regions. – The Grid (talk)  22:16, 18 November 2022 (UTC)
