Does anyone know the statistics reagarding Springfield's climate/weather patterns? That would be an interesting addition to the page. 24.2.244.245 21:24, 7 August 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Bus Terminal
Springfield's current bus terminal is a very unique building, does anyone think they could snap a picture of it? (preferably a daylight one)
I hope we can revive this bedrock of Massachusetts.
Hello, I'm not sure, exactly, if I'm doing this edit thing right, but are you talking about the Peter Pan bus station? I'm not sure what, exactly, you mean when you say that it is "unique". It seems rather average to me, perhaps maybe a little crowded, if anything.
If we could get a picture of Bright Nights for the article, that would probably be a bit better. When I read the current information about the event in the article, it didn't do too much to explain what it is like. Considering there can be a two hour long wait to get inside the event due to people flocking to Springfield while it is in operation, I think it would be relevant to have more information on it.
I also think there could be more information on current politcs (corruption etc.) and something about the night life/entertainment industry, the article would be more informative. I would try to do it myself, but I'm unfamiliar with anything Wiki and I don't think I could be an unbiased source. --TOLLMASTER
- You, personally, can't be a source; that would be a violation of Wikipedia:No original research. You can add any relevant information for which you can provide a reputable and reliable published source per Wikipedia:Verifiability. For the current local scene, that probably means articles in newspapers or regional magazines. If the articles are also available on-line, that is even better. Now, go for it! -- Donald Albury(Talk) 12:20, 5 April 2006 (UTC)
[edit] More Info.
Small page on my home town!!!!! um sum1 can add that its the most dangerous city in massachusetts, its gangsta son 8-D
- You need to cite a source for your edit per Wikipedia:Verifiability and Wikipedia:Citing sources. If you don't do so within a few days, I or someone else will remove your edit. -- Donald Albury (Dalbury)(Talk) 01:16, 26 February 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Most dangerous city in MA
"Springfield is known to be the most dangerous city in all of Massachusetts. Its the 18th most dangerous city in America." Why did sum1 remove this? its 100% true....
Here a source, if i even need one: http://www.answers.com/topic/springfield-massachusetts
- Answers.com is a Wikipedia mirror, and not verifiable in of itself. And yes, you do need a source. The standard on Wikipedia isn't whether a fact is true; it's whether it is verifiable. Please see WP:V if you want to know more. RGTraynor 00:47, 28 June 2006 (UTC)
omg.....ok if you dont believe me y dont u just find a source ur self, cuz im tellin u its true!
- The onus is on the editor making an assertion to provide proper sources, not on others to do your research for you. I strongly suggest you look over WP:V. In any event, that this Morgan Quitno guy makes an assertion doesn't make it fact, and his methodology is seriously flawed. (And just as an FYI, since this is an encyclopedia, we use proper English and grammar here; "chatspeak" will turn a lot of folks off.) RGTraynor 06:46, 29 June 2006 (UTC)
i dunno wth ur talkin about but springfield is the most dangerous city in MA and you dont believe me so u deleted the sentence that i add sayin that and make me have to go and get source but then i get a source and it aint good enough for u, yet i cant find good source but you cant go look for a source for me!? it was even on a local commerial the other month about springfield being the msot dangerous city in MA

- It almost seems that you're proud of that fact. Trust me, nothing scary about the small town of Springfield, MA - NYJAY
-

- Trust me, it is a very dangerous and violent place. I live near it, and the dents in the top of my car from bystanders dropping rocks from the two office buildings show it. I think it has had about half a dozen murders or so just through the beginning of this year. -Nclark —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 24.151.142.241 (talk) 01:17, 29 March 2007 (UTC).

In addition, it must be pointed out that this information, however flawed is now out of date. Morgan Quitno, still as wrong as they ever were, has busted Springfield down from 18 to outside the top 20. The issue is moot now.
[edit] Picture
The existing picture has text in the middle of it, as well as a concrete highway barrier obscuring the view of downtown. It would be nice to find or create a better one. -- Beland 02:42, 27 November 2006 (UTC)
- The picture is gone, so I am removing this tag. --Sbrools (talk . contribs) 02:05, 22 February 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Map requests
 |
It is requested that a map or maps be included in this article to improve its quality. Wikipedians in Massachusetts may be able to help! |
- It would be nice to have a map showing neighborhoods and streets mentioned in the article. -- Beland 07:41, 27 November 2006 (UTC)
- It would also be nice to have map showing the original jurisdiction of the territory, and deannexations to other municipalities at various times. -- Beland 07:41, 27 November 2006 (UTC)

- I'll see if I can dredge something up from my closet. -Nclark —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 24.151.142.241 (talk) 01:18, 29 March 2007 (UTC).

Isn't Albano, the former Mayor, under federal investigation, and aren't his misdeeds frequently cited as a cause of the fiscal meltdown? -- Beland 07:48, 27 November 2006 (UTC)
O, yes mr.beland guy, ITS ALL HIS FAULT BLAME HIM
[edit] Recent Vandalism
I really regret suggesting this, but this recent vandalism, though minor has been steady for some time. Is it possible to put a block up that requires only logged in editors can edit the page (or if this function exists, delay edits until they can be approved as not vandalism)? I feel bad, but this is getting ridiculous. I'm from the area and find it depressing and unfortunate, despite the prompt correcting of the vandalism. -- Mski2005 12:08, 5 December 2006 EST
[edit] healthcare
any resources on the net on how the condition of springfield's heatlhcare is? compared with the rest of the state. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 62.232.156.44 (talk) 20:57, 10 December 2006 (UTC).
