Talk:Spartanburg, South Carolina

message: So, does everyone agree with my revisions? Any input or suggestions are welcome- I'm new to this game.
Need more help on 'list of neighborhoods'- Spartanburg doesn't have too many distinct neighborhoods, than I can think of, at least.
I beg to differ with the idea that the economy of Spartanburg County, much less the city, revolves around BMW. It may be a large contributor, but by no means is it the major source of economic activity.--Ssignature 16:47, 4 February 2006 (UTC)

message: Are there any palms/palmettos that grow in Spartanburg outside year-round without special protection? My wife and I are considering moving there, and as silly as it seems, we really like palms and this is a factor in our decision. We're wondering since it is SC but on the other hand it is up there in elevation. Please pardon my ignorance of the area and proper posting of this question- not sure if it is technically ok to ask this here but I guess it is discussion related enough since it is relevant regarding information about the city and climate of the area. A pic with a palm in Spartansburg (if there are any) would be a cool addition to the article, too(just a suggestion).
There aren't really palmetto trees in Spartanburg or in the upcountry of SC in general. We're way too close to the mountains here. Charleston is beautiful and full of palmettos and only about a three hour drive.-  Emily  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.191.202.13 (talk) 05:03, 28 September 2014 (UTC)

thread_title:  Maybe non-local editors that have no involvement with the city/town/etc. should let people WHO LIVE HERE decide what goes here 

message: Is there any place for a way of referring to the city that some of it residents call it? I know in the case of Spartanburg some call it "Sparkle City" especially on certain of the mornig radio segments they refer to it that way. Sochwa 06:56, 15 March 2007 (UTC)

message: How about putting some actual history under the "History" section instead of a list of popular sight-seeing attractions?  Who were the first settlers?  Where did they come from and why?  From what other counties was Spartanburg formed?
This page reads like a travelog put out by the local Chamber of Commerce.
Not appropriate for Wikipedia at all...

message: My students at USC Upstate are adding information about local African American history to the Spartanburg page. They researched using newspapers, images, and books archived at the public library downtown and have begun adding that information to the page (Tuesday 11/29) and our plan is to migrate quite a lot of this data to additional pages beginning today (12/1). I'd be happy to hear any suggestions on organization of the data.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Drcljones (talk • contribs) 15:08, 1 December 2016 (UTC)
replies: text: Hi  and page stalkers. I've been contacted regarding the issues with this article and wanted to let you know that it is part of a class assignment at University of South Carolina Upstate. I've alerted the WikiEdu folks who may be able to give assistance to the professor regarding the way forward. Thanks, --Rosiestep (talk) 17:33, 1 December 2016 (UTC)

text: Can we lift the page protection for now, to facilitate university classroom use?  I realize there have been problems with sourcing, but I disagree that there is an issue of WP:WEIGHT, given the highly relevant demographics and history of the city.  The professor has been put in touch with the Wiki Education Foundation to get their assistance in helping to iron our sourcing and other norms.--Pharos (talk) 17:58, 1 December 2016 (UTC)
