Talk:Prescott, Arizona

message: I took out this sentence: "The city rewarded the efforts of the fallen fire fighters by denying lifetime benefits to 13 of the 19 fire fighter's families., ," 
because it is extremely sarcastic and much too biased against the city (see WP:NPOV).  I'm not totally opposed to having the controversy over benefits included in the article (though I'm not sure it's noteworthy enough), but can we at least do it in a way that treats the issue and both sides fairly instead of sarcastic attacks? 24.116.229.5 (talk) 06:52, 20 August 2013 (UTC)

message: I don't have the statistics to edit the entry myself, but could the "Tri-Cities" reference possibly be updated to "Quad Cities" or whatever they are calling it with the inclusion of Dewey-Humboldt? Sreneec (talk) 04:27, 8 April 2008 (UTC)

thread_title:  sister cities? 

message: I don't believe this section fits on this page.  It seems like the mayor or someone added this for personal purposes.  The rest of the page does not discuss specific elections and the mayor's plans for re-election the same way.  I think it should be deleted or just included in the prior section, "Government".  Would someone use their judgement on this?  I live in Prescott so may not have an objective viewpoint.  This is just how it struck me. Laurel 18:02, 18 January 2011 (UTC)
thread_title: 2009 Mayoral Election

message: The entire paragraph starting with "While Prescott is known for its western and cowboy feel..." appears to be someone's opinion rather than any real facts about Prescott. At the very least, it is original information and there are no citations to support it. It should be removed. Thekithless (talk) 10:27, 18 September 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  Neighborhood descriptions

message: I'm not sure what qualifications are required to be listed among the other Notables, but I am very surprised that William Owen "Buckey" O'Neill is not included among them. There is a prominent statue dedicated to him in front of the Yavapai County Courthouse in Prescott and his own page on Wikipedia.  He was a very colorful character, having been elected as a sheriff, and a judge in Yavapai County, Arizona, then unanimously Major of Prescott.  He served honorably with Theodore Roosevelt's Rough Riders, dieing during the battle at Kettle Hill, Cuba. Is it just oversight that he is not included?

thread_title:  Missing Notable residents 

message: I do not know how to update the pages, but I'd like to point out two corrections/changes (I am a resident):  Under golf courses in Prescott, Talking Rock is not mentioned, it should be as it IS a Prescott Address, albeit a bit further from "downtown".      Also, the mention of the Gingerbread Village - its actually located at the Prescott Resort & Conference center free of charge (and yes the resort IS on Yavapai Prescott Indian Tribe land).   So if someone can effect those changes, that would be great?  Thanks!  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 64.62.97.10 (talk) 18:20, 10 June 2015 (UTC)

message: Why is the pronunciation on the page "Press-cot" rather than the preferred local pronunciation of "Press-kit?" I see conversations below regarding this, but the conclusion that it should be the former is a poor one. William Prescott pronounced it "Press-kit." Regardless of the origin of the name or how his descendants might say it, the proper pronunciation is how Prescott himself said it. Stormkith (talk) 08:05, 25 September 2018 (UTC)

text: is far from "Press-cot" and the same as "Press-kit", at least for most Americans (Flemming & Johnson 2007:95). The vowel in cot is  (equivalent to "ä" in Merriam-Webster and "ŏ" in AHD). Listen to samples on dictionary sites: . Nardog (talk) 15:19, 4 June 2019 (UTC)

text: Yeah, the addition of that IPA entry came after my suggestion to change the pronunciation (which was listed as simple text at the time). I appreciate that you felt it was important to note that, but it came about 9 months after changes were already made. Stormkith (talk) 07:28, 10 September 2019 (UTC)
