Wondering how to edit this U.S. City Entry?
The
WikiProject U.S. Cities standards might help.
04-October-2006: Three (3) new images have been linked into the Fairhope article, copied from public-domain images prepared by FEMA for Hurricane Georges and by NOAA for the Weeks Bay National Estuarine Research Reserve (NERR) in Fairhope, Alabama. Inside the new image entries are key details:
The details stated for each image are very thorough, so no Wiki-deletion problems should arise for those new documented images. Note: Any photographers wishing to upload photographs of Fairhope may release and give their photos as personally-created public-domain works. - Wikid77 17:21, 4 October 2006 (UTC)
23-March-2007: A Wikipedia "Notes" section contains footnotes, such as defined from ref-tags (<ref name=acme7>xxx</ref>). The footnotes (displayed by "<references/>") can cite sources or just explain details as an aside comment. A Wikipedia "References" section is a
bibliography, typically in alphabetical order by name of author or organization.
To condense citation footnotes, reuse the same ref-name with a trailing slash "/" ("<ref name=acme7/>"), then for books, list all relevant page numbers in the one reused ref-tag (example: <ref name=acme7>J. Doe, ''ACME Handbook'', June 1897, pages 9/16/34-36.</ref>). Read more at:

There are some people working for the city administration of Fairhope that are adding bias to this article
This article includes heavy bias and opinion and contains language and tone not suiting an encyclopedic entry. It should be tagged for cleanup. Frankenzoyd 17:00, 19 June 2007 (UTC)
To those who continue to add/revert the paragraphs regarding modern growth in Fairhope: please review the policy regarding neutrality (and also the practice of repeatedly reverting changes). It may well be true that Fairhope leaders are currently either asleep at the wheel or in the pockets of developers, but such opinion has no place on these pages, which are intended to be encyclopedic in nature. I omitted these passages a couple of times, but have since revised them as best as is possible, to be strictly as factual as possible. As it is, some citations are still needed in order to bring the entry up to par. Frankenzoyd 19:59, 26 July 2007 (UTC)
This article has suffered notable damage due to local POV entries that are not considered encyclopedic in nature. I have removed what I feel, as a resident of Fairhope, information that would be considered under the following:
If you're a resident, like myself, and you feel that you're right, then cite the work that you're putting into this article. I don't care what you think about the mayor, city, its recent administrative decisions, or quite simply how much prose you'd like to put into the article, the entries people are making simply aren't up to par. Yet again, I've found that advertising from local businesses simply because they have a 2 paragraph page in the midst of a plethera of links to buy or sell goods in the city is against the WikiPedia standards. I have tagged this article for need of citation, re: July 2007, as there are uncited facts within the article that could be misconstrued or simply opinionated to make the city look cute. On another note, can anyone please verify that since Weeks Bay is not a part of the Fairhope city limits if it should even be noted within the article. -- Mnemnoch 08:02, 29 July 2007 (UTC)
If Fairhope is suffering from a lack of oversight then you should be able to offer a source and citation. We cannot just take your opinion for it. Please include appropriate sourcing. Thanks JodyB yak, yak, yak 19:26, 30 July 2007 (UTC)
I notated it on my last edit, but either the school needs its own page or it needs to be an article in itself on "life groups" since they are the alternative process for grades at the school. -- Mnemnoch 02:35, 5 August 2007 (UTC)
User:UB65 is attempting to prevent an edit war and for that we are thankful. However you have still added a factual statement which needs verification. I am not going to change or revert the edit but I will ask you to bring some legitimate sourcing to the table. Speaking of Mayberry style charm sounds like POV from the Chamber of Commerce. Speaking of Fairhope "once being known for its Mayberry style charm..." suggest it has lost it. Is Fairhope struggling with population growth and is that significant enough to include? All I want to see is good solid sourcing of comments. Please continue your work but can you cite any sources? Thanks for your help. Don't be a stranger! JodyB yak, yak, yak 03:25, 9 August 2007 (UTC)
The city lost the charm some time ago. In fact, the "Mayberry of the South" was from years ago. I think it might as well stay off until the citations are found. (I'd have to dig around packed away books and visit the museums for most and I just don't feel like dealing with it for now. Maybe someday if I get time.) The population growth seems to be much like other small towns have faced though it came on suddenly. Within one decade population almost doubled. Maybe folks could cite data and news articles regarding this. Anyway, thanks for the heads-up. :) -- UB65 03:27, 11 August 2007 (UTC)
Notible Residents should easily be cited to the article and verifiable. Otherwise, this just looks like a list that started to build up for people to gain personal fame. I'm going to put an expiry of two weeks on the residents before I start removing the ones I know are a bit out of the way. Please contribute to show that the resident is verifiable before they are removed. -- Mnemnoch 17:38, 12 October 2007 (UTC)
