Talk:Oshkosh, Wisconsin

message: Population numbers are extremely incorrect
the demographic breakup is wrong....oshkosh is more like 95% white...Why can I find no information about Chief Oshkosh?
:The population and demographic information was added by the Rambot and appears correct as of the 2000 census (search at factfinder.census.gov). I added a mention of the Chief. HollyAm 21:21, 31 July 2005 (UTC)

message: I think it would be worth building on the information regarding Oshkosh Truck.  OTC is now a multi-billion dollar, international company who is the largest employer in the city I believe with the exception of perhaps the University of Wisconsin - Oshkosh. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.188.124.201 (talk • contribs)

message: I never heard of Oshkosh being called by its nickname: Oshvegas.That is a new one for myself.Some sort of citation is needed for Oshvegas.Thanks-RFD (talk) 14:33, 17 November 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: That may be, but has the nickname been published in a reliable source? Having a RV park with that name doesn't necessarily mean the nickname belongs in the article if nothing reliable discusses that name. Anything in the Northwestern? I sign with my alma mater colors.

text: Question: Has the Oshkosh Common Council gave an official nickname for the City of Oshkosh? That is something to look into.Thanks-RFD (talk) 14:32, 18 November 2008 (UTC)

text: To the best of my knowledge, the nickname came before the resort/campground was established. I certainly heard the term before. However, as I mentioned in my edit summary for the revert, I personally feel that it's not worth mentioning in the infobox. Whether other people think so is up to them.

text: Many thanks-I will check and see what official nicknames Oshkosh has-I do agree Oshvegas is north worth mentioning in the Infobox-RFD (talk) 19:34, 7 December 2008 (UTC)

message: I'm starting this thread to discuss the Backrooms now that we know the famous photo originated in Oshkosh. 
Perhaps we mention it in a paragraph in the "Culture and entertainment" section? Or perhaps it could get its own sub-section? 
As of now, there aren't many sources to reference... I'm not sure if this is valid enough: https://knowyourmeme.com/news/the-location-of-the-backrooms-has-finally-been-discovered-after-six-years-of-search OddlyOaktree (talk) 19:22, 30 May 2024 (UTC)
