[edit] Bombing

I'm not sure that the reference to the 2005 suicide has much relevance to Norman, OK in general anymore. Anyone else care to voice an opinion on this? --jackohare 01:08, 14 December 2005 (UTC)

I agree. --Jabogan 23:45, 15 March 2006 (UTC)
I think it's just fine in the See also section, I wouldn't want to see it in the opening paragraph or anything. -- nae'blis (talk) 00:41, 16 March 2006 (UTC)

I agree. However, I am surprised that there are not other articles on past criminal events that have taken place in Norman. That would also fit nicely in the "See Also" and put the event in context

I think focasing on "news of the month" stories is silly for this type of article.

[edit] pornstars in Norman??

I deleted the reference to two supposed pornstars from Norman.

Add them back! What do you have against porn stars?

I agree with deletion. Such information has little relivence to the city.

[edit] notable residents

Who removed names from this section? --Jabogan 23:44, 15 March 2006 (UTC)

Removed? No names have been removed in over a month, but a few have been added. Who specifically were you expecting? -- nae'blis (talk) 00:40, 16 March 2006 (UTC)

Does Toby Keith live in Norman? He went to school in Moore, OK, so unless he lives in Norman now, I don't think he should be listed here.Fustigate314159 20:35, 22 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Poor east side

I removed the part about the east side being poorer and older, specifically poorer. I thought it painted that area in a very unflattering light, and it failed to take into account the large growth in development/housing from NE 12th east that is clearly middle class and above. There are plenty of areas on the westside where poor people live, and thus I feel it is was an unwelcomed and inappropriate generalization.

  • Agreed. --jackohare 16:14, 12 September 2006 (UTC)
 Also agreed. Norman (save a couple low income apartment complexes) has no "poor" district.

[edit] Wikimedia?

Why do we have a notice about content in Wikimedia Commons when there is none and doesn't seem to have ever been any? --Soonercary 05:11, 5 October 2006 (UTC)

Good question. We might want to go ahead and create the page over on Wikimedia cause I know there are plenty of pictures of the OU campus which is in Norman.--NMajdan•talk 12:00, 5 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Minor POV edit

Removed weasel words in the history section.--68.97.2.180 01:02, 25 October 2006 (UTC)

Does anyone know John Wayne Morris?
