Talk:Dunwoody, Georgia

message: I think we need to start a Wiki project on how it is acceptable to link a road's name. I say:
Notable roads with Wikipedia articles (e.g. Peachtree Street) can be linked to themselves.
Most roads, however, I don't think are eligible for Wikipedia articles, and thus I say they should be linked only if they are named from something that deserves an article. Any comments?? Georgia guy 13:59, 19 June 2006 (UTC)

No word about the "Panhandle" in this article. Also, "reneging on a promise" is awfuly harsh wording without a source. Jon 20:09, 13 February 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Incorporation bill passed State Senate 

message: I believe the picture captioned "Dunwoody skyline mid-center between Buckhead/Midtown Atlanta to the south and Sandy Springs to north featuring commercial office towers" is incorrectly labeled. The picture actually shows Midtown Atlanta in the foreground, followed by the Buckhead skyline further in and the Sandy Springs skyline in the background. Dunwoody is to the east of Sandy Springs, so it cannot be "closer" to the viewer in that picture.
Recommend deletion of the picture. -Kbrooks 18:02, 27 August 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Picture showing Dunwoody business district 

message: Hi
Ok, there has to be some official definition what a "city" is and what not, this can't go on till december. This newspaper article is still using the future: "will be the 14th largest city in", which is why I reverted yet again. If there's no compelling argument why it became a city the moment the referendum passed I say it stays that way.

replies: text: Also, see here: "decide on Dunwoody's cityhood, which would become effective in December." This sounds to me that it is *not* a city before then. --Amalthea (talk) 14:43, 20 July 2008 (UTC)

text: I know, it was the only thing I found at the time that gave any indication about the matter. I for one am fully content with what you're saying, even if I didn't read the charter myself now. If you find the time please edit the article along those lines (if it's still necessary), but please make sure to refer to this talk page in your edit summary.Cheers, Amalthea (talk) 03:38, 22 July 2008 (UTC)

text: Thanks for providing what would definitely be a much more authoritative source than the newspaper :-)  If the PDF says what you say it does, there's no reason not to list it as a city.  However, I believe that it should remain listed as a CDP, because I can't see the source: my browser won't display the PDF that you provided.  Are you sure that you've provided the correct URL?  However, I'm going to ask a few other people to look at the URL; perhaps my browser isn't working right.  Nyttend (talk) 20:01, 28 July 2008 (UTC)
replies: text:  Works for me. Have you tried downloading it (right click → save target or something)? However, I don't have the slightest idea what all of this means, so I leave it to the pros. --Amalthea (talk) 20:35, 28 July 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Having skimmed over the PDF (which is 63 pages long), I see the two-year transition period to which Rwittenstein refers; and in describing the transition, the document refers to the "City of Dunwoody".  However, the PDF states, "(a) The initial mayor and councilmembers shall take the oath of office the next business day after certification of the election of such officers, and by action of any four members of the governing authority may, prior to December 1, 2008, meet and take actions binding on the city."  So it may be valid to call Dunwoody a city after the election of officers and not wait until December 1.  Omnedon (talk) 23:22, 28 July 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Well, I can view it now; I would be inclined to agree with listing it as incorporated after reading Omnedon's statement, but it definitely doesn't hurt to see it myself.  Any objections to relisting as a city, as Rwittenstein's been trying to do?  Nyttend (talk) 03:52, 29 July 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  City or not? 

message: An offensive and euphemistic section, not to mention POV!  I deleted that line, along with the concentration of minorities crap.69.94.192.147 (talk) 22:56, 24 May 2009 (UTC)
thread_title: Winters Chapel [[Lebensraum|ripe for redevelopment?]]

message: This article says that Winters Chapel Road was named for someone whose last name was Winters. However, the articles on Wikipedia mentioning Ferry, Mill, and Bridge roads say that these are special road categories; see Historic ferries of the Atlanta area. There's no similar article in Wikipedia for Chapel roads. Anyone know what a Chapel road is?? Georgia guy (talk) 18:03, 24 May 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: I think "Winters Chapel" refers to the church that's currently Winters Chapel United Methodist Church, which was founded by Jeremiah Winters: https://www.ngumc.org/newsdetail/70857 Miclugo (talk) 18:08, 25 April 2023 (UTC)

thread_title:  External links modified 

message: The article was filled with an ample amount of information providing us with everything we need to know about Dunwoody, Georgia. There are quite a few sections in this article: background, history, geography, cityscape, demographics, government, economy, education, transportation, and notable people. However, a section to focus on is the Geography section. The information was well written. It had a topic and five subtopics in this one section. The section was Geography, the topic was Districts and Neighborhoods, and the five subtopics were Dunwoody Village, Perimeter Center, Williamsburg, Winters Chapel, and Tilly Mill. The information was accurate and very informative. There was no bias and it was in a very neutral tone. There was also an ample amount of cited sources in this section, which made the section look more reliable. However, there the street/roads information was kinda iffy. Looking at the talk page, it seems like where the roads meet and end are very controversial. 
One part that surprised me was the tornado that occurred in 2008. I've been living in Dunwoody all of my life and I did not even realize there was a tornado in 2008.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Amia Ni Le (talk • contribs) 23:11, 2 May 2017 (UTC)
