message: Why was the DuPage county template in there. Schaumburg is in Cook county. I tried making it the Cook county template but either it doesn't exist or I did it wrong. Either way its better to have less information than wrong/misleading information.Chipotlehero 20:00, 1 August 2007 (UTC)

:No signature to this, but I agree, and made a change that links to a source for 2006.  IF you have additional info or want more can be added from this or other sources to better explain Schaumburg.  Kidsheaven 23:55, 26 December 2006 (UTC)

message: It should be: "Schaumburg schall et heiten". This is wrong in the german article, too. See "Schaumburger Deutsch-Amerikanische Gesellschaft e.V." ( http://www.sdag-shg.de/shgill_gestern.htm). —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 212.144.176.132 (talk) 12:27, 1 April 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: It's difficult to say. In my opinion it could be Low German (cf. schall, High German soll). The guy who said this had live at Reinsdorf before (according to the "Schaumburger Deutsch-Amerikanische Gesellschaft e.V." but I don't know if it's trustworthy). "Schaumburg schall et heiten" could be Westphalian or Eastphalian (cf. "et" [it] and "heiten" [to call]). Reinsdorf is located southwest of Hanover, where Eastphalian was/is spoken so it's quite possible that he said: "Schaumburg schall et heiten" . But it's also possible that he spoke Missingsch, i. e. a mixture of Low German (schall) and High German (es). "heisen" is more difficult to explain, it could be a misspelling or alternative spelling of High German "heißen". It is also possible that this spelling should indicate the guy's pronunciation which is typical for Northern Germany. However, I found only two sources in the internet proving that it must be "Schaumburg schall es heisen" - this article and its French version. The Low German version is used by four websites. --89.53.91.99 12:01, 4 October 2007 (UTC)

message: How big can a village be? Surely this place is a town or something? Yet it is being called village and city in the same paragraph! --Rui Gabriel Correia (talk) 18:26, 7 April 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: The official name of Schaumburg is 'Village of Schaumburg.' It says it right on their home page. I'm not certain what criteria is used in calling it a town, village, or city. See Village (United States)#Illinois and related right here on Wikipedia. Andyross (talk) 21:39, 7 April 2010 (UTC)

thread_title:  Library section opinion 

message: On 19th-century maps of Illinois, both the village and the township were spelled Schaumberg. I have not researched the history of the name, but it clearly changed from SchaumBERG to SchaumBURG at some point in time, and a knowledgeable local historian is encouraged to add this bit of history to the article.
Taking this one step further, the German names in the article are spelled incorrectly.
Based on a quick Web search, the locale in Germany is spelled Grafschaft Schaumberg (not Schaumburg). The (apparently American) spelling of Grafschaft Schaumburg is widespread on the Web, however, including most related articles in Wikipedia. Perhaps folk etymology / spelling is the source of this apparent error; perhaps both spellings are now acceptable in Germany, which seems unlikely, given the difference in meaning of "berg" and "burg."

thread_title:  Spelling of Schaumburg 

message: The first paragraph under the section Sarah's Grove is lifted verbatim from the source text. The Wikipedia text provided in that first paragraph provides no in-text attribution, no quotation marks, and no change in text. I have not compared the Wikipedia text in the History section with other sources, but I would predict that more of this cutting and pasting of source text exists. I don't think we should delete the entire section, but I think willing editors should help rewrite the Wikipedia text in their won words, and provide inline citations where needed.

message: Hello fellow wikipedians!
I'd like your input on the infobox photo. I have placed in a infobox photo-montage. See https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Schaumburg,_Illinois&oldid=1056696595. @Nkon21 believes that a grainy low res, very generic image of a sign is a better illustration. Thoughts?
