[edit] Capitol Building Picture

I would like to replace the picture of the Capitol Building with one that's a little less hazy and covers more of the building itself. don't want to go about changing things right away, so please advise. --Mawhamba 10:18, 10 Jan 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Neighborhood Discussion

It seems to me that Clinton should be listed as one of the neighborhoods in Lincoln. What do others feel?

[edit] Notable residents

Surely this would be improved if there was a short description of why each of these people is notable? CarlyPalmer 05:40, 22 March 2006 (UTC)

Agreed. Control 16:55, 22 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] More Sports

I think that that more team names should be added giving more of a sporty feel to a city

In had read that Abraham Lincoln drew up the original corporation papers for Lancaster in the 1850s, before he was President, and that that was a factor when they renamed it Lincoln. I forget the source of this. Josh-Levin@ieee.org 05:25, 10 November 2006 (UTC)
