[edit] Ryan Adams in the intro?

I see no reason to single out one "favorite son" for mention in the intro, especially given that there is a subsection listing famous natives of Jacksonville. ForDorothy 23:46, 1 December 2006 (UTC)

ARGUABLY because he is more linked with the town having written about it extensively. Fullerov 16:07, 12 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Notable people born in Jacksonville

Is anyone checking this list of people born in Jacksonville to see if they are truly notable? Like, for example, the Ninja??

[edit] Some things of note that I believe should be edited:

The latest two additions to the famous natives should be removed, those people are not famous.

The external link to topsail-island.info should be removed, the site does not target citizens of Jacksonville.

A link to Jactionville.com should be added to external links. Markfulton 05:08, 29 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Reference to Pawn Shops/Tattoo Parlors, etc

I have removed that reference since it does not meet citation guidelines as per WP:CITE. I have also tagged this with citation needed. I looked through the Census page and was unable to find anything. If anyone can find this, I will be glad to update it! Rob110178 20:57, 1 October 2007 (UTC)

• It's simply a well-written vandalism. I removed it. (Portland, Oregon is generally considered to have the record on strip clubs, at least, if you were curious) Ben (talk) 06:19, 14 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Intro section

Per WP:LEAD, mentioning of strip clubs, tattoo parlors, and Jacksonville being "J-action-ville" does not belong in the intro. If it must be included (it has little, if any, encyclopedic value), then the lead is not the place to mention it. APK ^{yada yada} 22:13, 22 April 2008 (UTC)
