Can someone please update the information to reflect the 2020 census? https://www.census.gov/quickfacts/evansvillecityindiana that's the link. This article is too big to the point I don't have the time or am confident enough I can do it without messing up. — Preceding unsigned comment added by NXNiTe ( talk • contribs) 21:12, 1 January 2022 (UTC)
There have been many changes in the downtown area since 2008. Rhatsa26X ( talk) 21:57, 25 August 2014 (CDT)
Evansville and South Bend both now need montages now that Indianapolis and Fort Wayne have theirs. Rhatsa26X ( talk) 19:21, 30 July 2013 (CDT)
I tried but an outsider debuffed my efforts Rhatsa26X ( talk) 16:06, 1 October 2016 (UTC)
I have updated television stations and put them in a table. I summarized radio stations. Radio formats change relatively frequently, so I only listed the station numbers and call letters, leaving out formats and advertising slogans. Have a look, see if it needs further work (I believe the radio stations may), and if its good, we can update this talk page section. (2-21-14)
I am making this proposal for the same reason. Also the list doesn't even cover the radio market or much of anything else related to the media outlets in the metropolitan area.

Reference, please? A link would be good. I've seen the edited i just reverted has been made over again, and once again without pointing to the reference. I can't seem to find the 2010 Census data, otherwise I'd add the reference myself. Bob the WikipediaN ( talk • contribs) March 2011
I think it's a stretch to say the University of Southern Indiana does not call Evansville its home. It may be a mile from the city limits, but the postal address says Evansville, and I've never seen any literature suggest otherwise except the latest version of this Wikipedia article.

I added a brief history for all periods of Evansville's history. The precious section was very selective, incomplete, uncited and opinionated in areas, and did not make sense. Some areas of history were highlighted as if they are important, other areas were completely overlooked or disregarded as if they are insignificant. I realize there is another page for history. The other page, in my opinion, should be used for a detailed history of Evansville. The history I have provided only gives a brief sentence or two, along with relevant photos, of each significant area of Evansville'a history. Prehistoric. Native Americans. Acquisition of the land from the Delaware. Early pioneer days. Evansville's boom during the Erie Canal, Railroad and furniture manufacturing eras, the war, post war, the later half of the 20th century and the modern era. This is not too much information, in my opinion. I have only provided a couple brief sentences, or at most, a paragraph, on each of those eras. More information on each of those eras would certainly be nice to have on the History of Evansville page, but the brief synopsis on the main page does not seem unwarranted to me.
Otherwise, i see no point in having such a brief and incomplete history synopsis on the main page at all. If such a brief, selective, opinionated and incomplete history is the idea, then we should not have a section on history at all, in my opinion. If a brief and selective historical synopsis is the objective, then the entire section should be deleted and directed to a separate page.
Besides history, i have made dozens of improvements all over. YHuoshu has deleted all improvements with the knee jerk reaction to undo all of my work.
My intention is to make updates throughout the page and provide a complete, encyclopedic snapshot of Evansville; not to simply choose a couple items and pass that off as a description of our city. I have taken the time to provide a comprehensive view of Evansville. If YHoushu does not agree with my portrayal of the city, the time could at least be taken to read what I actually added and to select what is not considered appropriate without discarding all of my work with one broad stroke.

History section probably deserves a bit about the KKK, given its predominance in the city in its (specifically Indiana Klan's heyday. natemup ( talk) 16:03, 9 July 2021 (UTC)
This news story doesn't belong in 'history' as it's not a city defining news story. It made world news ONLY because there was a video. It is a tragedy, but not one that will reshape the culture of the city. This is a fairly small news story, nothing more.
If you want further support of the argument, we had a PLANE CRASH INTO A RESTAURANT AND KILL SEVERAL PEOPLE, but that news story is nowhere to be found in the history section. One event that Evansville did gain some fame for was the loss of our UE basketball team in a plane crash: The Night it Rained Tears, and again, that's not on history section of the wiki.
This is not 'history' it is news. 174.101.9.184 ( talk) 13:12, 17 October 2022 (UTC)
