[edit] Pictures
Can someone and anyone insert pictures of Edmond into this article? It looks very plain. Let's put a positive look on this fine suburb of Greater OKC!
I second that. I'd do it myself, however I don't know how and don't know the copyright rules. But this is really needed. They're plenty of nice places to take photos in Edmond that would be a good representation of the town.
yeah, let's snap a pic of the oak tree security posts. or perhaps the edmond police station...
[edit] Removed a POV section about the highest cross
Removed this from the paragraph about the cross:
- The overtly large cross acts as a reminder for local residents that God is truly on their side and Edmondites should continue to uphold values of materialism, and consumerism, along with other 'isms' which properly prevent a greater understanding of socially responsible spirituality. Helping the less fortunate, showing sympathy for those with different life perspectives...rubbish. Desiring Humvees and state of the art home security systems which promotes ignorance and isolation from those that are not as blessed was continiously exspoused by the Jesus Christ and a continual practice for this community in contemporary times.

[edit] veil of darkness
Removed the dramatic language from the paragraph about the former mayoral candidate; if he left during the night, provide a source and why that's relevant. -- nae'blis (talk) 20:01, 1 February 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Split from OKC
I'm merging a lot of info from the OKC article onto here. I don't think the problem with the OKC article is tragic but it's been suggested and I want it done right, b/c I know a lot of people used the OKC article.
^ The above article is pretty hilarious. Was I supposed to feel insulted? Sooner&RiceGrad 14:06, 2 June 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Metro church did not "dissolve"
I was a member of Metro church, home of the cross. The church did not dissolve as the article states. The congegation voted to merge with Life church. This was a decision that had nothing to do with the wake of the cross controversy. Both Metro and Life Church felt the merger would help further the gospel of Jesus Christ in our community.

[edit] Settlers Crossing
The Settlers Crossing article should be put into Edmond --Soonerman the I 16:23, 23 March 2007 (UTC)
There is no need to merge the two articles, if Settlers crossing was to be put in with Edmond then all neighborhoods should be included in the article. No need.
yeah man personally i've never heard of settlers crossing. i've been meaning to drive up there to check its legit-ness, if you will, but i usually have better things to do during the day. but personally it sounds like a bunch of houses in the middle of nowhere. could be wrong, though.
I agree I think that settlers crossing should be merged because then someone could make a wiki for every neighborhood in edmond.
The article is about Edmond, not your neighborhood. I think it is perfectly logical to keep them separate. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 129.15.131.246 (talk) 21:16, August 29, 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Highways
not that anyone gives a crap, but I-35 actually runs straight down the middle of edmond in terms of area. certainly not the center of pop., but definitely so by area.
