Mayor-Council or Council-Manager?
[edit]It is not clear whether the city is governed by a strong mayor system or a council-manager system. 184.100.134.202 (talk) 18:09, 28 September 2011 (UTC)
- [1] indicates it is the latter. Beeblebrox (talk) 19:58, 28 September 2011 (UTC)

Courtney Love lived in Salem, Oregon
[edit]While Courtney Love's biography, as of this writing, has no explicit reference to Salem, Oregon, it DOES contain the following line: "At age 14, Love was arrested for shoplifting a t-shirt and was sent to Hillcrest Youth Correctional Facility.[16][18]" Note that this line has two references, and that if you click on the link to Hillcrest you will see that it is located in Salem, Oregon. Thanks. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Copy Editor (talk • contribs) 14:50, 5 September 2012 (UTC)
- That may be (that she was at Hilcrest), but we generally do not place people in the city categories based upon their forced incarceration at a correction facility located in that city. Much like we generally do not place people in the city categories based upon them attending a college located in a city. Further, the general practice for the "Notable resident" sections in cities is either a citation is provided in the city's article on the line where the person is listed, or it must be covered in the article covering the person (which is actually covered as a comment to that very section in this very article).

- Or, for the guideline this is based off of, see WP:NLIST (add yes, not all items in the list do have citations but that is not a reason to add more). Aboutmovies (talk) 06:35, 6 September 2012 (UTC)
