replies: text: I don't see why this company should be added to the media section.  Is the company sufficiently notable to have its own Wikipedia article?  Is it one of the top ten employers in the region?  The Wikipedia article on a city is not meant to be a "Business Yellow Pages" that lists every single business, complete with address and telephone number.  Maybe if we had more information on the significance of the business, the request could be more favorably considered.--Bhuck 06:10, 21 August 2007 (UTC)

message: Not to be a party pooper, but less than 10% of the main picture at the top of the page is of Champaign. It would be a good picture for the article on Urbana or on the University, but not much at all of Champaign is pictured there. I don't frequent here enough to really do anything about it, but I just thought I'd put it out in the open and maybe somebody could get the old picture back up there. Thanks guys Mattt1986 03:20, 4 December 2007 (UTC)

message: I'm from Champaign and have never heard of Champaign having the "world's largest steam factory." I can't find any reference to this anywhere else online, either (other than wikipedia and sites that have copied it from wikipedia). 
If we can't get verification of this, it should be removed.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Jlalande3 (talk • contribs) 18:51, 28 April 2008 (UTC)

Your link shows 'estimates' while the City of Champaign's website article is citing official figures of a 2007 special census.
