message: This article desperately needs a section on the government structure of Buford, GA.  
I don't know enough about it yet to make this entry.  If someone does, jump in.  
Otherwise, I'll do the research an an opportune time.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.168.208.34 (talk) 08:38, 13 June 2012 (UTC)

message: Just a few thoughts, but not an exhaustive review. First, Notable people should be moved off to a List of people from Buford, Georgia page. You can do a simple one like this example; or shoot for a the gold standard like this example.
Second, the history section is way too short for a city. I know it may be hard to find some good history, but for a B article, "Readers are not left wanting", and this history section leaves me wanting. --Dkriegls (talk to me!) 22:28, 6 November 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: Thanks.  I'll certainly work on expanding the history section.  There are a few books on the subject that can be used to expand the section, the only problem is getting access to the books, but I'll work on that. - SudoGhost 23:05, 6 November 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: I created the List of people from Buford, Georgia and I'll work on improving it as much as I can as well. - SudoGhost 23:45, 6 November 2012 (UTC)

text: *I've added content to the history section, and tried to cover the most important aspects of Buford's history.  Is it still wanting, and if so, in what way could I improve it? - SudoGhost 07:30, 1 December 2012 (UTC)

text: I live in Gwinnett County in the US State of Georgia, and my goal is to get the article of every city in Gwinnett County, Georgia improved as much as possible.  Beyond that, where I am physically located is not relevant to the improvement of this article.  If you have reliable sources that back up a claim that Lake Lanier Islands is "not in Buford", by all means please present it, but the official website lists it as being in Buford, as do plenty of other sources. - SudoGhost 01:56, 17 December 2012 (UTC)

text: Well I think that ultimately comes down to the question of "how do you define in Buford or any other city?  Is it defined by the legal city limits, or by mailing address or other criteria?  I'm inclined to think that reliable sources tend to use the latter.  For example, although the Mall of Georgia is just barely outside of the city limits, the Gwinnett Daily Post describes it as the "Buford mall"[  and does the same with Lake Lanier Islands.  I'm looking into where Google gets that data from, and how up-to-date the data is, because that does tend to change rather frequently. - SudoGhost 05:23, 17 December 2012 (UTC)

text: For future reference, it helps to start the discussion once it is known there is a disagreement with the content, rather than throwing around accusations when your content was removed, as it created a serious imbalance in the article because there was no cause to single out that one film just because you personally saw it being filmed. - Aoidh (talk) 06:50, 27 May 2015 (UTC)

text: Wasn't singling out one film.  Was starting with that with the hopes of expanding it.  I had tried to address ever concern you had.  (IMDB not reliable, Not "Social media", etc.)  It wasn't until your last comment that I actually understood your concern.  Would have appreciated you starting a discussion as much as you desired me to.  :-)   But seems it's worked out.  Water under the bridge.  Driven01 (talk) 21:00, 27 May 2015 (UTC)
thread_title:  Tips for improving to a B quality scale rating.  

message: It seems that some feel they are the "owner" of this page.  Please don't auto-undo every change on this page.  To quote https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:Ownership_of_articles there is this segment:
"This page in a nutshell: No one "owns" an article or any page at Wikipedia. If you create or edit an article, others can make changes, and you cannot prevent them from doing so. In addition, you should not undo their edits without good reason. Disagreements should be calmly resolved, starting with a discussion on the article talk page."
I have been trying to start a section of movies filmed in Buford as I believe it would be interesting to those with an interest in the community.  However I can't get the section to stay a day without it being hit with an "undo".  I've tried to address every objection (cited source, etc) yet "undo" keeps getting hit.  I'd rather instead of an undo, we have a discussion, and ultimately if agreed upon fill the list with other movies filmed here.  It doesn't feel right that a single person (unnamed out of courtesy) has decided to be the sole owner of what goes on this page. Driven01 (talk) 05:07, 27 May 2015 (UTC)
