Cleveland's namesake[edit]

I could find no source on the web for Cleveland being named for anyone other than Col. Benjamin Cleveland. If you add information regarding the town's namesake being anyone other than Benjamin Cleveland, please provide a citation. Bms4880 (talk) 22:47, 30 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Can you explain what you are talking about. And why this is relevant. Are you just trying to advertise them? Chewie1138 (talk) 07:30, 4 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Old name[edit]

Did anyone say that Cleveland used to be called Taylor's Town? I didn't see, but I might be wrong. OK, so if it's not in the article it needs to be put in the history section of the article. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Slayer2448 (talkcontribs) 17:54, 3 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

This could be added to the history section of the article, but only if there's a reliable source for verifiability. --Orlady (talk) 19:00, 3 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Taylor Spring[edit]

Per the citations in the article, Taylor Spring, while not listed on the NRHP, was the site of the first permanent settlement that became what is now Cleveland. Recently, the site has been constructed into a public park, per this source. Magnolia677 claims that including a photo of the spring is a violation of MOS:IMAGERELEVANCE as it "shows very little of Cleveland" and does not show "the place, or a house listed on the NRHP". Well, all of those statements are true, but the policy cited states that "Images must be significant and relevant in the topic's context, not primarily decorative". As a very important historic site in reference to the article, it seems hard to argue that including a photo of this spring or reconstructed springhouse is not "significant and relevant in the topic's context," and that it doesn't serve as a major illustrative aid. While it's certainly true that we shouldn't include images of every single historic site that has played a major role in this city's history, as too many can be distracting, I have found absolutely no policies or guidelines that disallow the inclusion of a few photos of major historic sites in US city articles. Secondly, Magnolia677's claims seem to imply a possible interpretation of "Images should look like what they are meant to illustrate, whether or not they are provably authentic.", and suggested that I look at photos on a list of other city articles. This image does not serve to illustrate the entirety of Cleveland, just a major historical site and landmark. Many of the suggested articles include photos of major landmarks, some of which are listed on the NRHP. I know of no requirements that a major landmark be listed on the NRHP for inclusion of an image, and I fail to see how inclusion of a photo of this particular historic site is irrelevant and does not serve as a visual aid to the overall subject of the article.

Taylor Spring, site of the first permanent European settlement that became Cleveland.
I've included a copy of the image uploaded by User:Bneu2013. Note that "Taylor Spring" is not mentioned anywhere in the article. Magnolia677 (talk) 11:14, 21 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Changed - added in the "Early history" section that the site included a spring, and the completion of the park on the site in the "Recent history" section. Bneu2013 (talk) 01:11, 22 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I think the photo is fine. I think Wikipedia kinda needs more photos in general. But i'm new here so i don't know all the ins and outs. Chewie1138 (talk) 07:28, 4 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Removal of old Census data?[edit]

Should I go ahead and remove the 2000 Census data? It's 22 years old and two Census's have happened since then, so it seems kind of unnecessary. 71.80.71.14 (talk) 19:21, 7 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

That would be okay. Bneu2013 (talk) 20:51, 7 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
