Talk:Alton, Illinois

As of September 6, 2008
I must say, this is probably the first American settlement article I've done ratings for so far that has had actual photographs included. I respect that.

As of what it needs, I could see the Flood of 1993 section embedded somewhere within the History section itself, but in order for it to fit I think the History section needs to be expanded and reorganized. More wikilinks could be added, and citations are definitely necessary, as it only has three. To raise this further up the ladder, I think one doesn't need to put in as much work as in, only a bunch of research, although sections about Culture, Media, and a Parks and Recreation/Sports would be a welcome sight.

I rated this article as Low-importance due in part to its relatively small size. If another important event or disaster affects this town, then this article will meet the criteria for a Mid-importance rating.

Suggested merger
Is there some definitive evidence that Alton Township has ceased to exist as a township, and that all its functions have been subsumed by the city? This does sometimes happen; but it is also not uncommon for townships and cities to be co-extensive and still exist separately in an official sense. We'd need some reason to think that the latter is not true. If it exists as a township and serves a function, it should have an article, IMHO. Omnedon (talk) 03:20, 7 July 2010 (UTC)

He should be included in the list of Alton notables. He is mentioned in the article, with a link to his own Wikipedia page, and the Beall Mansion is mentioned twice in the article on Alton. ~
