Wondering how to edit this U.S. County Entry?
The WikiProject U.S. Counties standards might help.
[edit] highly opinionated
The article seems VERY biased & highly opinionated. It needs serious re writing to be neutral. Teamgoon 09:49, 11 November 2006 (UTC)
[edit] mall of georgia
should'nt the mall of georgia be included in this?
-It is added now...
Maybe an attractions section should be added to? I hvent read the guideline link above but I dunno.. Onejsin 02:23, 2 March 2006 (UTC)
[edit] 2nd largest?
"A county now over 725,000 residents, Gwinnett County is the second largest county in Georgia, next to Fulton County, which encompasses Atlanta city."
I removed this statement. I have not seen any substantiation of this claim. The Atlanta Regional Commission estimates still have DeKalb County ahead of Gwinnett County by 6,600 residents (700,500 to 693,900) as of 2005. [1]
So until there is a clear consensus, please refrain from cheerleading Gwinnett into second place. Onyourside 10:59, 4 March 2006 (UTC)
-According to the US Census Quickfacts Data, Gwinnett had an estimated population of 700,794 while Dekalb was only had 675,725 residents as of 2004... [2] and [3] Also, Gwinnett county's own website gives the population as 700,794 siting 'Gwinnett County Forecasting and Research Division and U.S. Census Bureau, 2005' [4]
Yep go to www.census.gov
Then go to the Factfinder. Here's the details of the 2004 census: Total population
Fulton County: 782,858
Gwinnett County: 694,024 Gwinnett
Dekalb Co.: 660,714 Dekalb
Cobb Co.: 644,798
I was sure I saw 700k somewhere; it is 2006 (2 years after that data) so I'm pretty sure we're over 700k; nonetheless, we're still second after Fulton and before Dekalb. Also according to your statement, the proof you have is an estimate. I used the official census to get the details.--Onejsin 04:46, 13 March 2006 (UTC)
I dont know what the official name is, but isnt there a plan for a commuter rail through athens, passing thru lawrenceville, to atlanta? and if so, should it be included?
