[edit] Beefing Up the History Section

Perhaps someone who knows Inky Jungwirth (the Oshkosh historian) could persuade him to write a synopsis of the history of the city?

Mr. Jungwirth is definitely a person in the know of Oshkosh history. I might also suggest Tom Weber as a nearly 70 year resident of the city as being quite knowledgeable with the history and happenings in Oshkosh.

[edit] Population

Population numbers are extremely incorrect

the demographic breakup is wrong....oshkosh is more like 95% white...Why can I find no information about Chief Oshkosh?

The population and demographic information was added by the Rambot and appears correct as of the 2000 census (search at factfinder.census.gov). I added a mention of the Chief. HollyAm 21:21, 31 July 2005 (UTC)

"Primarily Catholic Christians, Oshkosh also has some populations of Muslims, Jews and Hindus." Perhaps some demographic information could be found to make this statement more accurate and less apocryphal. As written, my personal opinion is that it should be removed.

I agree and support its removal for the reasons given. 72.131.44.247 18:02, 21 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] candy stores

I'm removing Oaks and Hughes chocolate shops as I don't think they're a particularly important draw to the area. Like say EAA or The Paine is. --Andymussell 22:55, 26 October 2006 (UTC)

Good call. Thanks! Royalbroil^{Talk Contrib} 01:18, 27 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Oshkosh Truck

I think it would be worth building on the information regarding Oshkosh Truck. OTC is now a multi-billion dollar, international company who is the largest employer in the city I believe with the exception of perhaps the University of Wisconsin - Oshkosh. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 66.188.124.201 (talk • contribs).

I absolutely agree - GO FOR IT! Be bold by updating and expanding the article for the company! You don't need permission! Royalbroil^{Talk Contrib} 08:54, 18 November 2006 (UTC)
