Talk:Butler, Pennsylvania

Butler poetry
I believe this claim to fame: was added by the author of the book (ISBN 0595284426). So I wanted to check with other editors whether it is a notable book or not. It has a very low Amazon ranking (1.8 million+) but then this is hardly the sort of thing that would be likely to get a high ranking. I guess the question is - is it famous within Butler? Have editors who don't live in Butler heard of it other than through Wikipedia? Should it actually be in the article? Thanks --Siobhan Hansa 14:10, 8 November 2006 (UTC)
 * A book of poetry has been written about this city: The Butler Pennsylvania Poems by Charles L. Cingolani.
 * Well, its published by IUniverse, which is a self-publisher. So I would tend to not include it, if no other info available. However, this maybe is a kind a special case - a whole book of poems about the town; if I was interested in the subject of this article, I might well be interested in knowing the existence of this book. Nevertheless, unless and until we find some sign of notability, a writeup or something at least, I would say don't include it. Herostratus (talk) 17:46, 23 October 2010 (UTC)

Donald Trump shooting
As the 2024 shooting at a Donald Trump rally article was recently made, I have removed unnecessary references in this page. I'm looking for a consensus on what to include about the shooting here. LucasR muteacc (talk) 23:38, 13 July 2024 (UTC)


 * It looks perfect right now, except that I would include "lightly" before "injured". Yitz711 (talk) 14:44, 14 July 2024 (UTC)

Remove Trump Shooting??
The Trump Shooting occurred in Butler Twp. Not The city of butler. I think it is confusing to state that it happened here when it didn't. There have been many people harassing Butler City Officials and employees. I don't want there to be confusion and a blame on Butler City when they had nothing to do with it.

 * Many people who are not as well informed in the area think it happened in Butler City, even though it didn't. They'll expect to see the Trump shooting info here. However the section can clarify that the venue where it happened was not in the Butler city limits. WhisperToMe (talk) 02:19, 17 July 2024 (UTC)
 * I cited an article that stated that the mayor of Butler fielded a lot of inquiries even though the incident didn't happen in the city limits. WhisperToMe (talk) 02:27, 17 July 2024 (UTC)
 * The only reason I'm on this page is because Wikipedia's Main Page references the city on the "In The News" bullet points for today. It seems that we should be able to reference the city while still being clear about city limits as they do on the Main Page: "Former United States president Donald Trump survives an assassination attempt during a political rally near Butler, Pennsylvania." It seems odd to then come to the city's page and find nothing about this. Penguino35 (talk) 23:02, 17 July 2024 (UTC)
 * I noticed the municipal government put out a statement on its official website. As of writing, the statement about the Trump incident is on the Butler, Pennsylvania Wikipedia page. WhisperToMe (talk) 00:56, 18 July 2024 (UTC)
 * May that be in part because of people's belief that it happened in Butler that the city felt the need to put out a statement? Raskuly (talk) 19:44, 19 July 2024 (UTC)
