Talk:Fort Collins, Colorado

message: I came in to dispute the phrase "the city has a thriving local music circuit" (define "thriving" . . . ) but soon realized that the whole article is littered with these obvious editorial opinions stated as fact, especially Education and Economy (regarding local businesses).  I took out some ridiculous statements like "Excellence in the classroom trickles further down into the elementary schools."  Added some citation needed type stuff here and there, but probably didn't use the right template.  Please correct as necessary.  K Revival (talk) 16:38, 3 July 2009 (UTC)

message: RMHS (which redirects here) is also a common abbreviation for Richard Montgomery High School in Maryland, D.C., and Northern Virginia, does this call for a disambiguation page? I don't know what the rules are regarding those. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 68.32.116.227 (talk) 01:57, 19 December 2006 (UTC)

message: So, anyone want to take on adding voting demographic and local government structure information? The county page doesn't have much info in this regard either. Thanks! --NightMonkey 22:56, 26 December 2006 (UTC)

message: I'm a little concerned about the large number of external links in this article.  WP:EL generally frowns on them, but I'm not sure if there is a better way to handle things like Transfort and the links to newspapers.  Anyone have a recommendation? --02:34, 24 April 2007 (UTC)

message: Interesting nickname. The obvious questions: where does it come from, and what does it signify? Λυδαcιτγ 04:47, 23 July 2007 (UTC)

message: What are the political demographics of the town? I have heard it is more centrest (although center left over all) than Boulder. Is that true?

thread_title: School Rankings

message: I believe that the Fort Collins page is not an appropriate page to be comparing the different high schools or to be listing prominent graduates.  Edits that claim "FCHS is the most prestigious" is both non-objective and off-topic.  Comments about a particular high school would better be made on the school's wikipedia entry.

replies: text: You were right to revert that.  It isn't really a question of content for the talk page, however; it's just vandalism.  Someone who thinks it's clever naming his friends.  Repeatedly for the last several months.  If you see it, just revert it, warn the editor of you feel like it, and if they keep it up after warnings, report them to WP:AIV.  I've blocked this latest IP for a month for repeating this same edit over and over. --barneca (talk) 00:03, 16 January 2009 (UTC)

message: I just undid some edits that replaced Doug Hutchison's name with Bob Schaffer's.  There has been no change in who is the mayor of Fort Collins. I'm not sure who did the edits or why.

message: New Belgium Brewery is not a microbrewery.  According to its own website, it surpassed that in 1994.
Again, on its FAQ site, it claims a microbrewery produces less than 15,000 barrels of beer.
In 2008, (again, on the same site), they said they sold 493,200 barrels.
http://www.newbelgium.com/faq
Although we all want to believe that they are a microbrewery, New Belgium Beer is sold in 26 states from coast to coast and border to border (http://www.newbelgium.com/beer/finder)  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.243.240.4 (talk) 16:34, 14 January 2010 (UTC)

message: I live in Fort Collins and the climate it seems has changed much more than it was 10 years ago about when I first moved here. We have received much more rain than we normally get just with last September's historic flood our city got over 7 inches of rain. Our drought thus has decreased in intensity and we get far less than 300 days of sunshine (thank goodness!) I don't know if it is changeable but our climate has changed and the current edit doesn't reflect accuracy.
I suggest removing the above submission for the following reasons:
1. No identification.
2. First sentence incoherent and meaningless.
3. A ten year period can have no relevance to climate.
