Should I add "Da Bangem" or "Bangem" on the nicknames list?
editEven though there isn't any news sources that uses it, it has been used several times like Reddit and Urban Dictionary to refer to Jacksonville. Should I throw it in the list anyways? Majonezeman (talk) 00:01, 12 October 2023 (UTC)
- No. Those aren't reliable sources. Largoplazo (talk) 00:18, 12 October 2023 (UTC)
Neglected
editMuch of the Jacksonville article has become neglected with old photos, information that is no longer relevant, information that is unnecessary and information with zero citations. We have to do better. With that said, I will be reworking the entire article overtime. --Excel23 (talk) 21:24, 7 January 2024 (UTC)
Party membership of city council members
editI noticed that all of the city council members have a D or R after their names in the infobox, but no sources are cited, and at least some of the members do not have party affiliation listed on their pages on the city's website. Do we really need to have the party affiliations of these people who do not have an article in Wikipedia listed in the infobox? Donald Albury 17:43, 25 October 2024 (UTC)
Intro text unclear, regarding "consolidation"
editFrom the intro as currently written (emphasis mine):
"City-county consolidation greatly increased Jacksonville's official population and extended its boundaries, placing most of Duval County's population within the new municipal limits"
"As of July 2022, Jacksonville's population was 971,319, while the population of Duval County was about 1 million."
So this is really quite confusing....
It's my understanding that when a city and a county consolidate, the city the includes the entirety of that county's territory, and thus population, not simply "most" of it. But the "most" language in the first quote section implies that some small part of Duval County remained outside of Jacksonville, thus not making it a full and complete consolidation.
The second quoted section only adds to the confusion, as the Jacksonville population could conceivably be rounded up to "about 1 million," but the fact that two different numbers are listed separately (as opposed to say "As of July 2022, Jacksonville and Duval County's population was 971,319.") implies again that there's still a bit of Duval County outside of Jacksonville. So this discrepancy really needs to be clarified. -2003:CA:8704:52AC:7987:79B6:71D5:668B (talk) 11:46, 7 December 2024 (UTC)
