message: A couple of notes as I am reading through
*platted -> plotted? no, it turns out I learned something. The second usage indicated it is just an unfamiliar term to me, and I'm largely ignorant of the relevant terminology. Is a link warranted, or is the term familiar enough to most?
:I am linking it because, I suppose, that unless you've owned a house in the US and really looked into how your neighborhood was made, that word is not familiar.
::I'm looking forward to slipping it into conversation.
*boll weevil, I looked for a link to the historical event. The article and Boll Weevil Eradication Program give a little context, but so does this article.
:Linked to boll weevil infestation section which then has link in next section to what you proposed. The infestation section is imo more relevant to the time frame of the Hawthorne article.
::Someone (else) should write up content on the economic and social impact, it's quite a big deal I thought and I recall literary references to the infestation. 
*"Not a decade after …" the phrasing adds emphasis, but some might quibble as a matter of style. 
:A creative writer I am not. LOL. Corrected. Also, that phrasing might confuse English-as-a-second-language readers.
::Always a good consideration, ESL, sometimes a nuanced phrase in Australian English is too informal for international English. 
*"and better times. Agriculture changed …" expand on 'changes' in first sentence, 'land use was converted to Y because the soil was exhausted/saline/ by X'. And are the 'better times' qualified or quantified in the source, economically or socially?
:"Better times" were not clarified in the source (from memory because I had to return the book to the library). Found another source and I remember now why I wrote that. I think I made an assumption that people know the general time frame of WWII. There's no reason anyone should, especially younger people and readers from countries that didn't participate. I took it out because I have no way of quantifying it right now.
:Now that I took out "better times", do you think that I still need to expand on changes? The intention was that the changes were in the rest of that paragraph.
::It seems fine now, without checking what you did.
*No link for Commission–Manager style of governance?
:Do you mean an internal link (because it has an external one). I can't find one which is why I linked outside. The closest one on Wikipedia doesn't one for one match the description at the external link.
::Only slightly bothered, and I may be applying old-school rules. Odd that that is not covered here, I would redlink to avoid an ext link inline. Maybe a note if challenged.
*I try to keep links out of quotes, the cracker style might be clarified after the quote.
:Keeping it because there's not much to expand on in that section that relates to Hawthorne. Although if I check out that book again I can probably add a section that lists all the different architecture in historic homes in the area. The only reason I linked it is that "cracker" is mistakenly thought of as always being a derogatory term for white Americans. If I do an expansion, I will link the style in the architecture area. Thanks again for all your notes!  PopularOutcasttalk2me! 14:40, 30 November 2018 (UTC)
replies: text: I was aware both usages, and thought there was an easter egg effect: surprise, not what you thought. an unpiped link can't be used in the quote.
Other than that I feel like I have been there, I hope there is something useful above. cygnis insignis 04:19, 30 November 2018 (UTC)

text: , there is! Thank you for this and I will correct forthwith.  PopularOutcasttalk2me! 13:49, 30 November 2018 (UTC)

text: Hey, thanks for the additional input. It is in the links but might as well not make people chase it down. Better? Also, I didn't realize that I shouldn't be using prehistoric to mean prehistoric Americas. I got that word from the main book I used for the history section.

message: I've done a little research on cotton production in Alachua County. I wrote a blog post on the subject Sea Island Cotton. Can't cite the blog, but the sources I list at the end may be of interest. - Donald Albury 17:57, 12 December 2018 (UTC)
replies: text: , thanks! I'll check it out.  PopularOutcasttalk2me! 22:39, 12 December 2018 (UTC)

text: , was looking at your web page and saw that you have an interest in model railroads. I found in some source that Hawthorne had a model railroad store in the building that was the old union depot. I've only ever seen that source and I think it was a blog, not sure. I could not find anything online and wondered if you knew.  PopularOutcasttalk2me! 22:52, 12 December 2018 (UTC)
replies: text: I've heard about it, but that it is a private collection, not a store. I don't know if it is ever open to the public. Sorry, I don't know any more about it. - Donald Albury 23:38, 12 December 2018 (UTC)
replies: text: , Interesting. Maybe I can call their library and find out if anyone knows them. Thanks so much for the info.  PopularOutcasttalk2me! 23:44, 12 December 2018 (UTC)
replies: text: I heard aboout it from someone at the model rr club. I could ask about it, but I will miss the meeting tomorrow. Maybe I can find out something next week. - Donald Albury 02:04, 13 December 2018 (UTC)
replies: text: , I mean, I am not sure what I would do with the information. I guess it's just interesting because I came across it while doing research for the article. I remember it was a picture and I just found it again on Florida Memory. pic 1, pic 2. There are a couple of other pictures. I get no good hits when I search for Rail Side House Museum or when I search for Ron Kelly Hawthorne Florida railroad. Since there's no original research, unless Mr. Kelly has a pamphlet that I can scan and upload, I don't know how I would add it to the article. I don't get the feeling that the model railroad is of the city of Hawthorne. Thanks for taking me down this interesting road (track? lol) again.  PopularOutcasttalk2me! 03:12, 13 December 2018 (UTC)
