Talk:Augusta, Georgia

Removal of text
As with all Wikipedia articles, we should strive to make sure everything on this page is sourced and accurate. However, there is no need to delete large tracts of article without discussing it here on the talk page. If something is true and unsourced, look up a reliable source instead of deleting it. If something isn't properly sourced or way too POV, take it out. If you are planning on fundamentally changing the article, however, it should be discussed here with the community first.

the text in question: "After a history of political division along racial lines, politics in Augusta-Richmond County have become progressively more issue-oriented" This statement, by its very nature is subjective and really an opinion. One can cite an editorial or commentary but it is still an opinion. Who decided politics in Augusta had become "progressively more issue-oriented."? I'm sure you can find a fair number of people in Augusta who would disagree with this statement, because it is not a statement of fact but rather a statement of one's perception or opinion... and that really doesn't belong in an encyclopedia entry.

The citations for the above statement.. references one 1998 mayoral election... this hardly validates the statement that "politics in Augusta-Richmond County have become more issue oriented" ... where is the citation validating this statement as a fact? is this quantified in some way that can be referenced...such as a study?? And how does one mayoral election denote a "history of political division along racial lines"... it would seem a "history" would have to consist of more than just one incident... and where is the reference showing how this racial division has been rectified and now in a sphere of more "issue-oriented politics"? These passages have had ample time to be properly referenced. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.169.154.179 (talk) 07:30, 12 March 2009 (UTC)

The to do list for this article right here in the talk page says explicitly to improve the article by adding valid citations, and removing "boosterism" statements and replacing with NPOV (neutral point of view.. the removed text did not adhere to NPOV standards for wikipedia... If you would like to add a section giving us the history of Augusta's racial political division and how this has changed with factual references then by all means please do so... but the dangling sentence by itself seems very out of place and sounds like boosterism rather than NPOV. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.169.154.179 (talk) 07:39, 12 March 2009 (UTC)

Border Bash
I think I will try to add something in the next few months about Border Bash - the celabration before the UGA-USC football game every year. I think it's worth mentioning given how Augusta is somewhat intergrated with the other side of the river in SC.--Longstreet9 (talk) 13:59, 27 October 2009 (UTC)

History
I seriously doubt that Mr. Oglethorpe upon discovery of the area of what is now known as Augusta, was inspired to name the area after "Aunt Augusta" the "Lady Bracknell of Dixie" and mother of "King Hank Williams Jr.. Just a thought... — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jimsjohnson (talk • contribs) 00:24, 8 August 2012 (UTC)

Corrected History
Above spoof reference to Hank Williams Jr. removed -- sorry fans! -- and replaced by reference to Augusta, Princess of Wales, nee' of Saxe-Gotha and mother of King George III. The spoof was really funny (see above Talk comment for full text of spoof), and I was reluctant to bury it, fans should consider before attempting to reinstate the text. I was led to do this searching for the origin of the Augusta name, original name of Washington and Lee University. Her husband, Frederick Prince of Wales died age 44 while his father George II was still alive. The cause of his death is thought to be a cricket injury. hgwb (talk) 11:40, 15 August 2012 (UTC)

Population of Augusta
The population in this article is listed at more than a half-million people, but the population of Augusta in other publications is less than 200,000. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.176.91.2 (talk) 19:14, 11 January 2013 (UTC)
