Talk:Durant, Oklahoma

message: If you think that the following unsourced statement is ok within an encyclopedia, then you should not be editing encyclopedias:
:The Durant Independent School District is also known for having one of the best education systems in the state of Oklahoma and in the United States
See also the trivia section regarding the hospital.  Is it really now? 
This article is a good start, but it needs some help. Dirtydan667 14:32, 5 February 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  This article has major problems 

message: The sentence "The city is also home to the Silo School District, which includes three schools and serves approximately 680 students, and to one of two schools in the Rock Creek School District" is a bit misleading.  The mailing addresses for the schools are in the Durant zip code, but they aren't actually in the city.  Narthring (talk  • contribs) 04:56, 5 September 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: The entire article and the town and state themselves are all extremely misleading. In-Correct (talk) 05:47, 18 September 2012 (UTC)

message: I feel that this section is encyclopedic, and doesn't fit the tone of the article. It's like a blemish to this article, and looks misplaced in it. Furthermore, it relies on the usage of one source (two, counting the mention of the Durant Daily Democrat article) to back up its point.
However, I don't feel it should be totally deleted, since it provides a scene of Durant's history, most notably the problems with racism that it had with it being a sundown town. Yet, I feel that it shouldn't be spun off into another article, as it looks too premature. 
In my opinion, an entire section rewrite and additional citations would be an optimal option, as well as a reorder. Explodicator7331 (talk) 17:09, 11 November 2023 (UTC)
