[edit] Cops/Skateboarder Incident

Most of us have heard of this incident of police brutality, or at least excessive force. Yet it is not mentioned in the article, and when placed in, is removed. For the uninformed, a police officer "aggresivelyy arrested" several skateboarders, in a way consisting of choking, and tackling. Skrayl (talk) 03:38, 5 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] The Video

I think it is important that something about the recent video posted on YouTube makes it into this article about Hot Springs, Arkansas. I, along with thousands of others, I'm sure, had never even heard of Hot Springs until this happened. Furthermore, it has now been viewed by more people than the entire population of Hot Springs. My addition may not be in perfectly proper format, but please don't erase it - just fix it. This is, in fact, a very important issue to many people not just in America but all over the world who care about civil liberties, human rights, and justice.

In fact, I just checked the view count of that video and it's over 1.4 million! That's about forty times the entire population of Hot Springs.

  I agree. I'm putting it in - skrayl


Wondering how to edit this U.S. City Entry?
The WikiProject U.S. Cities standards might help.

I found no mention of Joshua Fickle anywhere online. Is he supposed to be famous? I don't know, but I am removing the line that says Hot Springs is the birthplace of Joshua Fickle.


[edit] Reginald Muldrew

I find no mention of Reginald Muldrew living in Hot Springs ever. From all the reading I've done I don't know where he is. Last I read he was incarcerated in Indiana though. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 155.188.190.1 (talk) 15:21, 3 October 2007 (UTC)

Deleting that, since I can't find anyone in local law enforcement that knows of him living here, and the ACIC search comes back invalid on him. If someone can find proof that he is here, feel free to readd, but GCSO has no record of him.

Assuming he's notable or his location is notable. -- SEWilco (talk) 16:25, 3 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Vapors history

There is assorted city history in the Out of the Vapors (pdf) book. Someone who knows what has been important to the city might want to look at it and its references. -- SEWilco (talk) 05:28, 16 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Higher Education

Not sure that Champion Baptist College should be listed under this section, on review of the College's website, it's fairly obvious that it's not a legit college, more a training institution for churches and church administration. Being in this section makes it look like it's on par with legit church associated schools like Ouachita Baptist University in Arkadelphia. Went ahead and gave Champion their own subheading under other education and moved Arkansas School for Mathematics and Sciences out of the higher ed section since it's actually a high school and has it's own entry up the page a bit.
