I removed this person from the "notable residents" section simply because "Bllix" is not notable. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Pablothegreat85 ( talk • contribs) 19:31, November 6, 2006
Hillsboro Airport hosts the Rose Festival's Air Show. Summer of 2006, a plane crashed in part of Hillsboro.
Hillsboro was listed in the Money Magazine top 100 Best Cities in 2006.
Then in 2007, Top Places to Retire by US News and World Report.
Also, Jason Earles, actor starring in Disney's Hannah Montana was a Hillsboro resident, graduating from Glencoe High School in 1995.
Anyone looking to improve the article might start with creating articles for the red-linked items on the page. Then, maybe find some sources to expand the history section to go beyond 1876.
Please remember the above when editing. That means when the library moves, it does not get a play-by-play. Simply note the new location so the article is not updated daily (you can make updates on your blog). Oh, wait they moved a book today, we better make an update! If there was an article about Hillsboro libraries then you could add something about previous library loactions like the old Carnigie spot accross from the courthouse and when the Tanasbourne branch was in the old Tanasbourne Mall. But not on the Hillsboro article. You may want to read WP:WWIN. Aboutmovies 01:48, 5 May 2007 (UTC)
This sentence (in the geography section) is awkward: "185th Avenue is the eastern most north-south route that borders Beaverton, but bisects the Tanasbourne Town Center from the rest of Hillsboro."
This might be better: "185th Avenue is the eastern most north-south route. It forms the border with Beaverton, and bisects the Tanasbourne Town Center."

Convert recreation to more comprehensive prose (link to Stub Stewart) with limited details on some of the items with subsection for events (include county fair and Shute Park concerts), move wineries to economy section. Add rock museum to culture and expand with some details that section. Continue citation standardization.

The Article "Hillsboro, Oregon" has a sub-section called "culture". Oregon Chorale is specifically listed. I would like to have the name of the group linked to www.oregonchorale.org People looking for a choir to join in the area can then find out a lot about the group. 70.89.178.182 16:44, 16 October 2007 (UTC)
Apologies, I wanted to do a pretty thorough review of a couple sections, but unfortunately I'm way too bogged-down with "real work" to do that. So, just some quick observations:
I think the transportation section needs to be structured a bit differently. Numerous questions pop into my head as I read it, mostly centered on "what is being transported?" Knowing that train lines go through the city is not terribly interesting unless you know whether they're passenger trains, freight trains, whether they run multiple times a day or once a month, how many stops they have in the city. Similarly, I believe that one of the airports serves some regional commercial flights, but the other is private only -- I think that kind of information is pretty important.
Also, it seems strange to me that "Sister City" has its own section -- unless there's some reason to expand this with a number of paragraphs, I think it would make more sense as a quick paragraph in, maybe, "Culture." - Pete 21:40, 2 November 2007 (UTC)
Wow! This article is very well written, and contains excellent and interesting content. There is also a nice use of pictures & photos (not overdone, but just enough to give a good perspective on the city). I didn't see any major or glaring grammatical or spelling issues (though I would still recommend a good copyedit prior to nominating for WP:FAC).
I made one minor change, moving the 'government' section a bit lower in the article, so as to emphasize 'history' a bit more (per guidelines, the first sections in an article should preferably be history, geography, demographics, economy). Government, while certainly important, is a bit less important, and can appear a bit later down. I also moved the sister city section to its own main section near the end, which is usually where those relationships are mentioned in most city articles.
You might want to promote the 'culture' section, putting it just after 'demographics' -- the government, education, and transportation sections should appear last, as they are more related to the infrastructure, and not quite as high as some of the other sections in terms of importance.
It might be nice to have a photo, image, or map in the geography section. Some cities also have a table of monthly high/low temperatures at the bottom of the climate section (see Flagstaff, Arizona as an example). This information is easily obtained from the weather channel.
I would also suggest adding some introductory prose to the 'notable people' section. Maybe highlight some of the more important people to the city's development. Some cities include this as a separate, linked list. Though it's kind of short here, so I'm not sure if that's necessary. Though these lists are prone to vandalism, so you should keep an eye out for things like random high schoolers adding themselves to the list and such,...
The guidelines listed at WP:CITIES, specifically WP:USCITY might provide some useful insights into how to improve the article further. Though I think as it stands, the article meets the Good Article criteria quite easily, and can be promoted now. Cheers! Dr. Cash ( talk) 18:07, 9 December 2007 (UTC)
