Not even the Greenville Massacre?
the subdivisions listed on this page are hardly new; Brooke Valley is one of the oldest subdivisions in the county, and Camelot is over 25 years old if not more! This is an odd choice of subdivisions to list, is there any logic to them?
I've been working on the article and hopefully it gets considered a WP:GA. -- AgnosticPreachersKid ( talk) 13:14, 2 February 2008 (UTC)
The article's prose appears to be reasonably well written, and from that perspective meets the "well written" criteria of WP:WIAGA. However, the article is not complete, and there are too many very short sections in the article, or missing sections, that the article fails the "completeness" requriement of the Good Article criteria.
For additional help, I would recommend looking at WP:LEAD, WP:MOS, and WP:CITE. WikiProject Cities also has a very good guideline for US city articles that you may want to take a look at. Two city articles that are existing GAs are also worth examining: Richmond, Virginia and Flagstaff, Arizona.
Hope this helps! Good luck! Dr. Cash ( talk) 18:18, 2 February 2008 (UTC)

There are large factual errors regarding the metro area of Greenville, NC. I have tried to delete the erroneous information, but my deletions have been overridden (by Wikipedia's editorial staff?). Neither the metro area, nor the metro population could possibly be more than double the City population. Just take a look at Google maps if you don't believe me. There's no conurbation of any consequence within miles of Greenville. Also, the Wikipedia article for Pitt County, in which Greenville is situated, shows a smaller population, but slightly bigger area than the Greenville metro area, so there are discrepancies between the two Wikipedia articles. Right now I don't have the time to make a full correction, using 2010 census data, so I deleted the clearly erroneous metro area data from the Greenville article. No facts are better than bad facts. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.170.238.175 ( talk) 02:48, 18 April 2012 (UTC)
No problem. Thanks. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.170.238.175 ( talk) 03:46, 18 April 2012 (UTC) I have reluctantly left in place the population data for the metro area, and the urban area. It is in agreement with the 2010 census data, but in my opinion, and that of Greenville residents that I know,the numbers are artifacts, and quite meaningless. The Greenville Statistical Metro Area comprises two largely rural counties that may only contain one incorporated city - Greenville. 67.170.238.175 ( talk) 23:36, 1 November 2012 (UTC) 67.170.238.175 ( talk) 00:06, 2 November 2012 (UTC)

I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of Greenville, North Carolina's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.
