"a beautiful downtown,"

Is that POV? --WikiFan04 14:22, 19 Mar 2005 (CST) 66.68.212.149 02:18, 28 May 2006 (UTC)

It would have to be, or a lie. --201.128.160.172 03:13, 5 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Those Interesting Facts are actually pretty uninteresting.

Beautiful downtown? That's funny. haha

Actually, to many people our downtown is beautiful (yes, I know, shocking). Consider that our downtown experience is far different from many northern American downtown experiences. Ours features lots of historical buildings whereas others feature, well, just brick-and-mortar store chains. --Mcamargo 22:14, 3 August 2006 (UTC)

1 Cleanup
2 Language proficiency in Brownsville
3 Nacho Libre
4 Fort Brown/Fort Texas

[edit] Cleanup

Removed extensive section about conduct of city elections. There is no indication that this procedure is unique to Brownsville and therefore notable or encyclopedic.
Removed Pre-Brownsville/Brownsville History subcategories.
Removed lots of useless city government information and rearranged the rest.
Removed the the dental hygene "college" and the "college" of cosmetology from under the Universities and Colleges heading.
Moved famous people to trivia and dropped Shelbie Bruce, who has been in two episodes of TV, did one bit part voiceover, and has appeared in one recent film.
The usual grammar, redundancy, POV, and similar issues.

[edit] Language proficiency in Brownsville

I have noticed that editors to the Brownsville article have occasionally noted the fact that Brownsville residents speak predominently Spanish. I know the census gathers data on what language is used at home does anyone know where these figures are listed, if they are so that a number acan be applied and not just a statement that is not a NPOV? user:Jaedza

[edit] Nacho Libre

I've noticed that lots of people have been replacing names with "Nacho Libre." I really don't think that someone by the name of "Nacho Libre" served as the mayor, or the city's commisioner. It's just kind of sad to see people stoop that low, really, especially since their IP addresses are tracked.--Mcamargo 15:16, 7 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Fort Brown/Fort Texas

Note: Fort Brown was originally named Fort Texas, but was renamed after the siege. The history section should reflect this. I plan on updating the history section soon so it is a paragraph style and not bullets. 25or6to4 09:00, 2 February 2007 (UTC)
