Talk:Williamsburg, Virginia
Wondering how to edit this U.S. City Entry?
The WikiProject Cities standards might help.
Lowest temperature
Is it really 52? Is that a typo? That seems too warm for a low temperature. Joe 17:23, 21 September 2005 (UTC)
- Hmm, not sure where those numbers came from. Got the correct numbers from weather.yahoo.com. Dr. Cash 02:32, 22 September 2005 (UTC)
G7 summit
I want to include a blurb about the 9th g7 summit, which was held in W-burg. Shoud I make a new category? What should it be called?
- That section would be best covered in the history section. Obviously, when we think of history & Williamsburg, we think 17th century. However, Williamsburg has quite a bit of 20th century history as well. Dr. Cash 04:30, 29 July 2005 (UTC)
Derek.cashman removed the city from the Category:Lost cities and towns. Yet, the picture on the page was certainly "lost" as was 90% of Colonial Williamsburg. In fact, the city had declined so much after the Civil War that this is what saved enough of the city for Rockefeller to restore. I certainly understand the debate, but I believe the Colonial portion constitutes a lost city. --Noitall 00:26, September 12, 2005 (UTC)
- I kinda agrees the Williamsburg wasn't "lost" although almost forgotten would surely fit. Thank goodness for the foresight of John D. Rockefeller Jr. and especially the Reverend Doctor W.A.R. Goodwin. In any even, Middle Plantation qualifies as one of the Lost counties, cities and towns of Virginia, and I added the cat lost cities and towns there.

Voting by W&M students
I have revised this section after confering with an official of the Virginia State Board of Elections. I realize that many W&M students are very upset, and may ultimately suceed in accomplishing cganges, but our article in WP needs to stay accurate and present a balanced POV on this tough subject.

- This information that has been added has no source, so is unverified. Something such as this definitely should have a source added, or be removed from the article as jibberish. Although I think with appropriate sources cited, its probably noteworthy, but I don't think it belongs exactly where it is. I wouldn't include it as a major section in the article; it should be added to the history section. Dr. Cash 01:45, 26 May 2006 (UTC)
