thread_title:  hostage 

message: the police are racist, the school system is in a downward spiral, there is drug dealing in the schools at the middle school level which I have personally witnessed. not to mention the horrible gang violence that the city tries to cover up and hide from the public. these things should be addressed in the article  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Jb54007 (talk • contribs) 15:48, 2 March 2010 (UTC)

thread_title:  poverty 

message: This article seems to be more focused on GSU than the actual town. It pretty much talks about the college and anything related to college except for the demographics and basic facts like that.
this should have one of those neutrality disputed things, most of that racism stuff is bullshit, especially the 'modern' part
In 1904, Statesboro, Georgia, after lynching a pair of African Americans convicted of murdering a white couple and their three children, an angry white mob unleashed a wave of violence against local blacks, beating a young mother with a three-day-old child and killing her husband. Before the rampage ended, numerous blacks were assaulted and their homes destroyed. Law enforcement officials never attempted to prosecute any of the rioters or mob ringleaders. Many blacks moved out of Statesboro in the wake of the riot.
I just reverted that addition about the lynching. Material like this needs a source to back it up. Also, it should not be included in the opening paragraph about Statesboro, as that space is reserved for introduction and a brief history of the article. Clocktopus 15:37, 2 June 2007 (UTC)

thread_title: America's Best Community

message: I have examined this sentence and checked the supplied citations. None of the three meet WP:RS. Yesterday I just added a cite needed tag and removed the bare URL.
:
On further thought, I concluded that even if proper WP:RS were found, the event is trivia, at most, in the history of Statesboro. Also, the wording is sensationalistic. It seems that 'Plot' refers to a small radar site that scored (plotted) USAF SAC practice bombing runs. So, no actual bombs or conspiracy involved. — Neonorange (Phil) 20:02, 4 July 2020 (UTC)
