Lots of updates to the page this time. For this update I spent a lot of time looking at FA-quality city pages and tried to emulate what they were doing. Cities I referenced were Tulsa and Cleveland as well as others. The significant changes were:
Here are some things that I plan to do at some future time, or if others would like to do that would be great. Also does anyone have any other ideas of things to add?
Does anyone have a cool photo from Medieval Fair that they would be willing to upload to Wikimedia Commons? I would like to add such a photo under Community Events. If not I will plan on taking one at next year's fair. Okguy (talk) 06:46, 17 August 2010 (UTC)
Welcome to the Norman, OK Wikipedia discussion page. After four months of discussion and research the main article has been restructured. Since much of the discussion on this page was related to the old page I moved non-relevant discussions to our archive page (see link above). Okguy (talk) 14:28, 20 January 2010 (UTC)
I am curious as to where the climate data was obtained, particularly in regard to average temperatures. All high temperature averages appear to be 2-3 degrees above what the National Weather Service provides as its climatological observations for Norman. That data can be viewed here: http://www.srh.noaa.gov/oun/climate/getrecords.php?id=okc&mo=jul&type=tm. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Imobannon (talk • contribs) 03:26, 20 January 2010 (UTC)
I used Weather.com because other Wikipedia pages of major cities were also using it for their source data (Oklahoma City, Dallas, etc.). I notice that they've changed the average high of January from 49 to 50 since I posted this. If we want to use NWS as the source for this data I have no problem with that. If you want to update the table and related text go for it. Okguy (talk) 14:28, 20 January 2010 (UTC)
Now it has its own page, created List of people from Norman, Oklahoma page. This is consistent with other Oklahoma cities Wikipedia pages, such as Tulsa.
Moved the contents from the Norman page tot he "List of..." page.
Is SweNT really that significant to Norman's economy that it has to be singled out over many other businesses in Norman? Does it really deserve a whole paragraph? Wilsonbond (talk) 20:35, 17 January 2010 (UTC)
I noticed that someone recently tried to add this section, and then someone else removed it. I agree with its removal because what was added was poorly thought-out and anecdotal. I do think that the page could benefit from a politics section though and many other major city pages do have such sections. When I revamped the page I had thought about adding such a section but could not find any verifiable data online. I think the right way to go about such a section would be to reference actual voting trends, and I think that the only way to get that kind of data may be a visit to the county election board. Would anyone want to undertake this task? Okguy (talk) 14:28, 20 January 2010 (UTC)
The neighborhoods section is a bit light. Is anyone interested in describing additional neighborhoods and adding references? Okguy (talk) 14:28, 20 January 2010 (UTC)
