Talk:Bismarck, North Dakota

message: Just wondering, when you type in Bismark from wikipedia.com the site brings you to a German town that nobody has heard of. Why not route the site here to a town that is a capital?   —Preceding unsigned comment added by 12.15.100.162 (talk) 01:08, 20 September 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I would say this is no longer a problem though it is always helpful to type in "Bismarck" a lot of people forget the "C". Mkomboti (talk) 00:32, 16 March 2024 (UTC)

replies: text: Your sources did not support the text you added. "This Rivertorch person" spent the better part of an hour looking for online sources that would support the gist of the text you added vis-a-vis Mandan communities being at (not near) what is now Bismarck. He failed in this, so he added a simple sentence that was properly sourced noting that  the Mandans had resided in the area. It seemed prudent to mention that there were people in the area before the city was founded; it did not seem prudent to ramble on at length about the Mandan people's living arrangements and culture, which would be way peripheral to the topic of the article even if a reliable source were found to place them where Bismarck now stands. It's true that "this Rivertorch person" removed the lengthy "recent history" text, which was OR-based and unverifiable, and is inclined to do so again if necessary. He hopes this won't be necessary and he dearly wishes that you would observe talk-page guidelines: your last edit here removed old comments you and your IP alter ego had made. Instead, please strike any past comments that no longer apply. Rivertorch (talk) 16:13, 28 February 2010 (UTC)
thread_title: History?

message: Personally, I think the three people currently listed (Carmen Berg, Leslie Bibb, Neil Churchill) under "Notable residents" are not notable enough to even be included in such a list. --MatthewUND(talk) 06:28, 12 December 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Why are you guys listing your mayor and former mayors as a notable residents? Every town has a mayor. That doesn't make them notable. JettaMann (talk) 22:49, 30 January 2009 (UTC)

message: MatthewUND, could you please restore my changes to the Bismarck Page?  All I did was expand on two areas that needed expanding, and I feel that my version is easier to read.  Also, can you please add Liberty Memorial Bridge to the site?208.107.168.154 00:55, 21 April 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Thanks for the feedback. I'm happy to see new users contribute to articles and I appreciate your edits to this article. The recreation and sports sections did need expansion and much of what you added was great material. However, some of your text sounded a bit more like something that would come out of a Bismarck visitor's guide instead of in an encyclopedia article. Wikipedia articles must always maintain a neutral point of view. Also, I think some of your additions actually went into a bit too much depth for this article. This article is about the city of Bismarck so I don't think very specific information about athletic programs at individual high schools or colleges should be found here. These institutions have their own articles so detailed information would probably be better off in those articles. Also, I don't think we need individual sections for each season of the year and the sports that are popular during those seasons...that's overkill for this city article and would be better off in a Sports in Bismarck, North Dakota article. --MatthewUND(talk) 04:28, 21 April 2007 (UTC)
