Wondering how to edit this U.S. County Entry?
The WikiProject U.S. Counties standards might help.
[edit] highly opinionated
The article seems VERY biased & highly opinionated. It needs serious re writing to be neutral. Teamgoon 09:49, 11 November 2006 (UTC)
[edit] mall of georgia
should'nt the mall of georgia be included in this?
-It is added now...
Maybe an attractions section should be added to? I hvent read the guideline link above but I dunno.. Onejsin 02:23, 2 March 2006 (UTC)
[edit] 2nd largest?
"A county now over 725,000 residents, Gwinnett County is the second largest county in Georgia, next to Fulton County, which encompasses Atlanta city."
I removed this statement. I have not seen any substantiation of this claim. The Atlanta Regional Commission estimates still have DeKalb County ahead of Gwinnett County by 6,600 residents (700,500 to 693,900) as of 2005. [1]
So until there is a clear consensus, please refrain from cheerleading Gwinnett into second place. Onyourside 10:59, 4 March 2006 (UTC)
-According to the US Census Quickfacts Data, Gwinnett had an estimated population of 700,794 while Dekalb was only had 675,725 residents as of 2004... [2] and [3] Also, Gwinnett county's own website gives the population as 700,794 siting 'Gwinnett County Forecasting and Research Division and U.S. Census Bureau, 2005' [4]
Yep go to www.census.gov
Then go to the Factfinder. Here's the details of the 2004 census: Total population
Fulton County: 782,858
Gwinnett County: 694,024 Gwinnett
Dekalb Co.: 660,714 Dekalb
Cobb Co.: 644,798
I was sure I saw 700k somewhere; it is 2006 (2 years after that data) so I'm pretty sure we're over 700k; nonetheless, we're still second after Fulton and before Dekalb. Also according to your statement, the proof you have is an estimate. I used the official census to get the details.--Onejsin 04:46, 13 March 2006 (UTC)
I dont know what the official name is, but isnt there a plan for a commuter rail through athens, passing thru lawrenceville, to atlanta? and if so, should it be included?
It's being called "The Brain Train" by the papers because it passes by so many colleges, and it is basically an extension of MARTA's northeast line. I think that it is still in the planning stages, and won't be up for review and approval by the State legislature until 2008.
